[edit] History
Pearl Jam promoted Yield with tours of New Zealand, Australia, and North America in 1998. Following the band's tour of Australia and before its summer tour of North America began, drummer Jack Irons left the band due to dissatisfaction with touring.[1] He was replaced with former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron. Cameron said, "I got a phone call out of the blue, from Mr. Ed Ved, Stoney and Kelly. I was ambushed. It was really short notice. He called and said 'hey what are you doing this summer?'"[2] Cameron learned over 80 songs in two weeks.[3]
Pearl Jam's summer tour of North America marked the band’s return to full-scale touring and the use of Ticketmaster.[4] For this tour and future tours, Pearl Jam once again began using Ticketmaster in order to "better accommodate concertgoers."[4] The first leg of the tour focused on the West Coast of the United States and the Midwestern United States, and then the band moved to the East Coast of the United States for the tour's second leg. During the tour an organized fan campaign dubbed the "Breath Campaign" was started in which fans brought signs to shows requesting the song "Breath".[5] After a four-year absence, "Breath" finally made a return appearance at the band's September 11, 1998 show in New York City at Madison Square Garden.[6] The North American summer tour was a tremendous success,[7] and after it was completed the band released its first live album, Live on Two Legs, which featured select performances from the tour. Guitarist Mike McCready stated that the band released the live album due to the strength of Pearl Jam's shows on the tour.[8]
