No, it's not some twisted sex act.
It's something even better...
Fans learned back in 1992 that three Pearl Jam songs belong together as the Mamasan Trilogy - "Alive," "Once" and "Footsteps." At a show at the Volkshaus in Zurich, Ed explained to the crowd the story behind the songs and how these songs come together -
"It's about incest; and it's about murder; and you know all those good things. And if you can picture it in your mind, the third song takes place in a jail cell. So this is our own little mini-opera here." --EV, 6/18/92
It's only been played together a handful of times and sometimes in reverse order. That's what fans at Pearl Jam's second Philadelphia area show experienced in the second encore last night.
And on top of that, the show closed with a cover of the Who's Baba O'Riley.
Nice.
