"Arc" is a song by the rock group Pearl Jam off of the band's 2002 album, Riot Act. It is the fourteenth track on the album.
[edit] Origin and recording
The track was recorded as a vocal tribute to the nine people who died at the Roskilde Festival in June 2000. The song was created by layering 10 vocal tracks of chanting recorded by lead singer Eddie Vedder.[1]
[edit] Live performances
The song was premiered live at the band's June 5, 2003 concert in San Diego, California.[2] "Arc" was performed by Vedder at nine shows, one show for each of the victims, during the third leg of the band's 2003 tour.[2] As an act of respect it was not included on any of the official bootlegs.
Eddie Vedder performed "Arc" on his April 2008 solo tour.[3]
