Pearl Jam’s May 1, 2010, performance marked the band’s first appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The concert was broadcast live to American troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, with Eddie Vedder communicating during the performance with a friend stationed in Afghanistan via video screens flanking the Acura Stage. The 23-song set opened with the Byrds’ ‘So You Want to Be a Rock ’n’ Roll Star’ and included Pearl Jam staples such as ‘Given to Fly,’ ‘Even Flow,’ ‘Do the Evolution,’ and ‘Alive,’ before concluding with a cover of the MC5’s ‘Kick Out the Jams.’
