A Last Show for Jack Irons in Perth
The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's note says this was Jack Irons's last show with the band. It also says "Pilate" had its first live performance.
On Friday, March 20, 1998, Pearl Jam played in Perth at the venue both chronologies head as the Perth Entertainment Centre. Five Horizons prints an attendance of 5,000, and Shudder to Think stands on both bill lines, the chronology's opening act line and Five Horizons' support act line. Both chronologies' main lists run from "Long Road" to "Alive," and both give the same first encore, from "Given to Fly" to "Even Flow."
The show
Date and Place in Perth
Five Horizons brackets 112m after its heading without stating what it measures. Its heading gives the date as 03/20/98, and the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's gives March 20, 1998, each with Perth, Australia, as the place.
The Performance
The chronology's setlist runs from "Long Road" to "Alive," and its entries include, in order, "Brain Of J.," "Last Exit," "Animal," "Pilate," "Lukin," "Corduroy," "In My Tree," "Wishlist," "Do The Evolution," "Jeremy," "Hail Hail," "Daughter," "Off He Goes," "Elderly Woman...," "Not For You" and "Faithfull." Five Horizons' set line runs from "Long Road" to "Alive," and its entries include, in order, "Brain of J," "Last Exit," "Animal," "Pilate," "Lukin," "Corduroy," "In My Tree," "Wishlist," "Do the Evolution," "Jeremy," "Hail Hail," "Daughter," "Off He Goes," "Elderly Woman," "Not For You" and "Faithfull." Both chronologies give the same five entries for the first encore, in the same order: "Given to Fly," "Go," "State of Love and Trust," "Smile" and "Even Flow." Five Horizons' second encore line gives three entries, "I am a Patriot," "Better Man" and "Yellow Ledbetter."
The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's note says this was the last show with the band for Jack Irons, and that "Pilate" had its first live performance.
The Next Step
The night before, March 19, at the same venue, is told in The Singer in a Mask at Perth.

What the Record Preserves
The objects the chronology's page hangs under the night's heading include an image. March 20 in Perth comes down to a venue both chronologies head alike, a bracketed figure, Five Horizons' attendance of 5,000, one act on both bill lines, main lists that run from "Long Road" to "Alive" in both, the same first encore, a note in the chronology on Jack Irons's last show with the band and a first live "Pilate," and an image among the objects.
