A Drink From a Shoe
A shoe hit the singer after "Once," both notes say, and he raised it, filled it and drank from it before making a boast to the crowd. The chronology opens the night with a pre-set, Eddie playing "Redemption Song" solo, while Five Horizons' note has Ed and Mike start with two acoustic songs.
On Thursday, June 25, 1992, Pearl Jam played Moderna Museets Trädgård in Stockholm, Sweden, as the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology names it; Five Horizons writes Moderna Museet, Skeppsholmen, and neither chronology ties the night to a festival. The chronology prints an attendance of 1 500, sold out, and Five Horizons 1,500 with no such mark, and Five Horizons brackets 110m after its heading without stating what it measures. The chronology lists Eleven under opening act, where Five Horizons' note says there was no opening act. Both notes tell of a shoe that hit the singer, and both chronologies of a theft backstage.
The show
Moved Outdoors
Five Horizons prints its bracketed 110m on the heading's own line. Both notes say the show was first booked into the Melody Club and moved to this outdoor site because of Ten's popularity. Both also say the band was upset that the show was 18+, and that the singer praised the place and said a return would be open to all ages and cost less.
The Performance
The chronology prints a pre-set line: "Redemption Song," marked Eddie solo, then "Driven to Tears" and "Throw Your Arms Around Me," each marked Eddie & Dave. Its note has Eddie begin solo with Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" and Dave join him on drums for the Police's "Driven to Tears," followed by "Throw Your Arms Around Me," a Hunters & Collectors song. Five Horizons' note has Ed and Mike open with those two songs, acoustic, and its set line begins with them and does not list "Redemption Song." Both lists then run "Even Flow," "Once," "State of Love and Trust," "Alive," Improv, "Black," an entry in parentheses, "Deep," "Jeremy," "Why Go," Improv and "Porch." Five Horizons joins that entry to "Deep" with a slash, and both notes say the singer led into "Deep" by singing from it. Where the chronology's second Improv stands by itself, Five Horizons adds a label of its own in parentheses. The chronology's first encore is "Suggestion," in parentheses, and "Garden," which Five Horizons joins with a slash; both second encores run "Leash," "I've Got a Feeling" with two entries in parentheses, and "Rockin' in the Free World," and both third encores "Release" and "Footsteps." After "Once," both notes say, a shoe hit the singer; angry at first, he raised it, smiled, filled it, drank from it and made a boast to the crowd, making a good moment of a stupid incident. He asked the crowd what the next song was called and passed out the mic, someone repeated a phrase several times, and "State of Love and Trust" followed. They say he saw someone taping and let the taping go on, and that "Release" was played in the last encore because the band forgot it earlier. They say "Footsteps" began with the lyrics of "Times of Trouble," a Temple of the Dog song, until the singer explained where the song came from and it was started again. Both chronologies say personal items of the band's were stolen backstage during the set, and both call it a very happy night that the theft marred.
The Next Step
Paris, three nights before, is told in The Trilogy in Order. Both chronologies put the next show the following night, June 26, at the Roskilde Festival; it is told in Photos for Security.
Recording & sound
What the Record Preserves
Thirty-four objects hang with the night's entry on the chronology's page: an image whose markup title is Ad; two untitled PDFs whose file names read review and thievery, each with an image named the same; an image whose markup title reads Ticket before a credit; twenty-five images whose markup titles name members of the band, each before a credit; an embedded video; and two untitled links into the chronology's remaster series, a zip and a text file. The chronology closes the entry with a remaster series line naming the band, the date and the city, with an info-file. Stockholm comes down to a site named two ways, a show moved outdoors, an acoustic start told two ways, a shoe the singer drank from, a theft, and thirty-four objects.
