Two Question Marks in Brisbane
Five Horizons gives the night two entries that the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's lists lack, one that is only a question mark, after "Lukin," and one printed in parentheses with a question mark, after "Better Man." Five Horizons brackets 130m after its heading without stating what it measures, and the chronology's page hangs no object under the date.
On Tuesday, March 21, 1995, Pearl Jam played in Brisbane, Australia, at the venue that the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology heads as the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and Five Horizons as the Entertainment Centre. Five Horizons' attendance line reads 15,000, where the chronology prints none, and both name The Meanies, the chronology on its opening act line and Five Horizons on its support act line. The chronology's setlist runs eighteen entries from "Last Exit" to "Porch," and its encore seven more, from "Go" to "Yellow Ledbetter," twenty-five in all, where Five Horizons' set and encore lines run to twenty-seven.
The show
The Entertainment Centre
Five Horizons brackets 130m after its heading without stating what it measures, and the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's heading carries no figure. Of the two chronologies, only Five Horizons prints an attendance line for the night, and it reads 15,000 with no sold-out mark. Neither chronology's entry gives a capacity, a door or stage time, a ticket price, a promoter, or the way tickets were sold.
The Performance
The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's setlist runs eighteen entries: "Last Exit," "Spin The Black Circle," "State Of Love And Trust," "Corduroy," "Elderly Woman," which it follows with three dots, "Whipping," "Animal," "Dissident," "Blood," "Glorified G," "Daughter," "Why Go," "Jeremy," "Lukin," "Rearviewmirror," "Immortality," "Alive," and "Porch." Its encore holds "Go," "Tremor Christ," "Not For You," "I Got You," "Better Man," "Once," and "Yellow Ledbetter," so that its two lines hold twenty-five entries. Five Horizons' set line gives nineteen entries and its encore line eight: each line holds the chronology's entries in the chronology's order, with one more. The extra entry on Five Horizons' set line, after "Lukin," is only a question mark, and the extra entry on its encore line, after "Better Man," is printed in parentheses with a question mark as "(Act of Love?)." Five Horizons' entry does not say what either of the two stands for, and neither appears in the chronology's lists. The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's note says that Mike disrobed as "Porch" closed and that Eddie tried to pull his underpants down. Five Horizons' note says that Mike disrobed during the show and that he was naked in the spotlight during "Porch."
The Next Step
Melbourne, three days earlier, at the Music Bowl, is told in An Extended Baba O'Riley at the Music Bowl. Both chronologies put the next show the following night, March 22, at the same venue in Brisbane; it is told in Mike Watt's Song in Brisbane.
Recording & sound
What the Record Preserves
The house holds no text file for the night, and neither chronology's entry names a recording of it. No object hangs under the night's heading on the chronology's page. Brisbane on March 21 comes down, in these documents, to one centre named two ways, 130m that Five Horizons brackets without saying what it measures, an attendance of 15,000 that of the two chronologies only Five Horizons prints, The Meanies on both bill lines, twenty-five entries against twenty-seven, two question marks in Five Horizons' lists, no object under the date, and no house file.
