A Sold-Out Night at The Catalyst
The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology marks the night at The Catalyst sold out. Its note calls the night a warm-up.
On Wednesday, November 12, 1997, Pearl Jam played The Catalyst in Santa Cruz, a venue both chronologies name alike. Both chronologies give an attendance of 800. The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's opening acts line and Five Horizons' support act line both name Odd Numbers.
The show
The Catalyst
Both headings give the place as Santa Cruz, CA, and the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's heading adds USA to it. Five Horizons brackets 76m after its heading without stating what it measures. The chronology marks the show sold out. Its note calls the night a warm-up.
The Performance
The chronology's setlist runs "Sometimes," "Corduroy," "Hail Hail," "Dissident," "Even Flow," "Brain Of J.," "Given To Fly," "Wishlist," "Off He Goes," "Last Exit," "State Of Love And Trust," and "Do The Evolution." Its encore holds "Happy Birthday," "Once," and "Alive." Five Horizons' set line follows the same order, and its enc line closes with the same two entries that close the chronology's encore.
The Next Step
Cascais, 352 days earlier, is told in A Silver Suit with the Fastbacks in Cascais. Both chronologies put the next show two days later, November 14, at Oakland Stadium in Oakland; it is told in The First of Four Shows with the Rolling Stones.
Recording & sound
What the Record Preserves
The chronology's entry ends with a remaster series line that names the band, the date, and Santa Cruz and carries the label info-file. Under the night's heading the chronology's page hangs seven objects: an image whose markup title reads Eddie Vedder & Stone Gossard, two more images, two links to PDF files, and two links into its remaster series, one to a zip file and one to a text file. The house holds two files for the night: the remaster series' information file and its fingerprint list. The information file opens with three lines that name the band, the date, and The Catalyst with its city and state. Its two source lines each end with FLAC, and its lineage line starts and ends with FLAC as well. Its eighteen numbered labels, in two groups, run from "Sometimes" to "Alive," and the fingerprint list gives a value to each of eighteen FLAC file names. Santa Cruz on November 12 comes down to one venue named alike, 76m that Five Horizons brackets without saying what it measures, an attendance of 800 in both chronologies, one act on both bill lines, a night the chronology's note calls a warm-up, seven objects under the date, and two house files.
