The Backspacer Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Pearl Jam to support its ninth album, ''Backspacer''. ==History== Pearl Jam promoted ''Backspacer'' with tours in Europe, North America and Oceania in 2009 and further legs in North America and Europe in 2010. In August 2009, Pearl Jam headlined the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, which was preceded by five shows in Europe and three in North America. This tour preceded the release of Pearl Jam's 2009 album, ''Backspacer''. On August 11, 2009, the band played an intimate show at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London. The band was joined onstage by The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood to play a cover of "All Along the Watchtower".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NME.com: Pearl Jam and Rolling Stones star unite onstage at intimate gig )〕 Later that night the band was joined by Simon Townshend, younger brother of Pete Townshend, to perform The Who's "The Real Me".〔 On August 21, 2009, the band played in Toronto, Ontario. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists were scheduled to be the support band, but Leo was unable to attend, after being stuck at the border. This resulted in vocalist Eddie Vedder taking to the stage to cover Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain" and "The Needle and the Damage Done".〔 Guitarist Mike McCready then played two songs, followed by guitarist Stone Gossard covering "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" by Johnny Thunders, before The Pharmacists played their set.〔 In October 2009, Pearl Jam headlined the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The Austin City Limits appearance took place amidst the fourteen-date North American leg of the tour.〔 On October 6, 2009, the band played in Los Angeles, California at the Gibson Amphitheatre. They were joined onstage by former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell to perform the Temple of the Dog song "Hunger Strike". This was followed with an appearance by Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell on "Alive".〔 Pearl Jam was the final band that performed at the Wachovia Spectrum with four shows that took place on October 27–28 and October 30–31. At the final show at the Spectrum, the band played the song "Bugs" from their 1994 album ''Vitalogy'' for the first time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ten Club: Bugs )〕 The band also performed a cover of Devo's "Whip It" in full costume. An additional leg consisting of a tour of Oceania took place afterward. The band played at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 1, 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pearl Jam kicked out the jams at the New Orleans Jazz Fest )〕 They then played twelve dates in America in the same month and completed a second European leg in July 2010. While most shows on the 2010 US leg were met with positive reviews,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Concert Review: Pearl Jam at the Q )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Band rocks for 2 hours; happy crowd sings along )〕 Dan Aquilante of the NY Post commenting on the first night at Madison Square Garden, said the lyrics were "mostly indiscernible" and "were little more than garbled jibber-jabber". At the show at the O2 in Dublin, a fan broke his arm in three places, after he jumped off the balcony and landed on the canopy above the mixing desk. Official bootlegs are available for this tour through the band's official website in FLAC, MP3, and CD formats. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Backspacer Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
