In the song “Elderly Women Behind The Counter In A Small Town”, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder sings, “I changed by not changing at all,” a statement that also holds true for his band. Pearl Jam has made a career out of non-conformity, innovation and being one of the best live bands on the planet, and last night’s show at the Verizon Center offered further proof that the band’s endless summer shows no signs of slowing down.

At this point, Pearl Jam are pros at giving their adoring fans what they want while also keeping things interesting for the band themselves. The band’s monster 31 song set mixed up seldom heard nuggets like “I’m Open” (played for just the fifth time ever last night) along with old favorites like “Rearviewmirror”, “I Got ID”, and “Given To Fly”.
