History

The tour of the United States consisted of thirteen dates which focused on the East Coast. The tour included a headlining appearance on June 14, 2008 at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Pearl Jam's set at the festival overran by one hour, causing the next act, Kanye West, to take the stage at 4:25 a.m. local time. This was the band's only tour scheduled for 2008. After the tour had concluded, the band played a private benefit show at the Beacon Theatre in New York, which raised $3 million for the Robin Hood Foundation.

Official bootlegs are available for this tour through the band's official website in FLAC, MP3, and CD formats.
