BONUS EPISODE (Part 1 of 3) – It's Earth Week, which means it's the perfect time to dig into the impact venues and the live event industry have on our beautiful planet. As we discuss innovations and solutions around venue sustainability, we take an inside look at a venue which is prioritizing this on a level never seen before – Climate Pledge Arena. For Part 1 of our Earth Week Series, we chat with Brianna Treat, the Director of Sustainability at Climate Pledge Arena and the Seattle Kraken, to hear all about the Climate Pledge Arena story – what set them on the path of prioritizing green initiatives and how they continue to face and find solutions to solve challenges. We hear about what is involved with being a part of Amazon's Climate Pledge, and what it means to be a Director of Sustainability. This newly reopened venue (renovated from a historic arena built in 1962 for the World's Fair) not only strives to be a leader in venue sustainability, but also to blaze the trail to make it easier for all venues to prioritize and initiate green initiatives. This is a great first step in our series to learn some terms and hear about the many ways venues can be more sustainable."We shouldn't just sit idly by on the sidelines, waiting for other people to develop the technologies and the business models that can help decarbonize our operations.” - Daniel GrossBrianna Treat: LinkedIn | EmailClimate Pledge Arena: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
Jacque Holowaty joins the show today to talk about her journey to Seattle, Washington to become the VP of Employee and Guest Experience at Climate Pledge Arena.

Climate Pledge Arena is home to the NHL's Seattle Kraken, is ranked #9 for Arenas, and is the best new concert facility according to Pollstar magazine! Also, it was awarded Sports Facility of the year by Sports Business Journal! Jacque has had an amazing journey in events and today talks about what she "Does", how she "Did" it, and what she and the team "will" do next! Learn more about your ad choices.

Longtime Seattle Times reporter Geoff Baker joined the podcast. He has a new book due out in November entitled, “Rising From the Deep: The Seattle Kraken, a Tenacious Push for Expansion, and the Emerald City's Sports Revival” https://tinyurl.com/2rw3w2j3. In the book, he chronicles the origin of the newest NHL franchise. The story behind the Kraken's arrival is deep-rooted in Seattle sports history, beginning with the departure in 2008 of the Seattle SuperSonics. The Kraken lead to the remodeling of Key Arena into the new Climate Pledge Arena. Still, Covid-19 and construction delays made it difficult for the Kraken to get off the ground. Baker explains the whole process and discusses how the Kraken may be a pawn in Seattle's real goal to return the Sonics back to the Pacific Northwest.

The annual free medical clinic that was formerly held at the Key Arena, before it was bought by Amazon and renamed to the Climate Pledge Arena, will not return in full this year. The Seattle/King County Clinic, usually scheduled during the month of October, provided vision, dental, and general medical care to hundreds of patients who were either low-income, underinsured, or homeless. The clinic also doesn't ask for proof of citizenship or personal information. The clinic also has its own comic book which explains its origins and mission with art from an array of local artists, which is also available online. This year only patients seeking eye exams or visual care will have a clinic available to them at a different location.

We're back yet again at the Key Arena to continue our year long Seattle Hometown series. This show in 2013 was big. It was the tour closer for a tour that reinvigorated a lot of energy back into setlists bringing back songs that they hadn't played in years and changing up format in order to fulfil longer shows. Since this was the closer in Seattle, they knew that they were going to have to bring their a-game arsenal. A whopping 36 songs were played making it an instantly memorable evening. A few talking points during this show include an appreciation for Pendulum as the consistent opening track for this tour as well as an appreciation for the 3-song slowburn startup that frequented setlists this year. We'll dig into how 2013 was a big year for rarities and at this show they brought out one of the rarest of the rare. Let Me Sleep was played once back in 1994 at a Bridge School show, it took them 613 shows before playing it again on this night. Also special from this show is a trio of songs from the Singles soundtrack played in a row for the only time. With 36 songs, it has a been stage atmosphere and while a podcast may not do the visuals justice, the lasting images of Ed and Mike dueling on Better Man and Ed being lifted up on one of the orbs are the big points to remember from this show.

We're heading back to an era that has gone nearly untouched in the Live On 4 Legs pantheon. In 2009, the Backspacer album was released and subsequently toured for. Although somewhat polarizing in retrospect, people thought highly of the album at the time and considered it to be Pearl Jam's return to their "true rock 'n roll roots". Yet of the eleven tracks the album bares, the band rarely goes back to many of those songs that were getting attention then. As a podcast, these songs have seen minimal coverage possibly thanks to that. This episode will continue the Seattle hometown series featuring a show that was considered to be the Backspacer era's maiden voyage taking place only a day after the record was released. As mentioned, a lot of music critics and journalists hopped back aboard the Pearl Jam bandwagon when this album came out. Was it due to the album being exclusively released at a big box store like Target? Or could it possibly have been because the George W. Bush administration was out of office and the album seeing a fresh, positive outlook for the first time since Yield? Whatever the case was, the band was clearly feeling good about their recent production, continuously pushing songs such as Got Some and The Fixer along with the family oriented love song Just Breathe. But this era also hosts a few of those songs that have absolutely disappeared from the Pearl Jam live repertoire such as lead-off track Gonna See My Friend, Johnny Guitar and Ed solo track The End which we'll cover the debuts for in this episode. But this era also led the way for a few classics that we continue to hear today such as the aforementioned Just Breathe and Unthought Known. Since we are coming off a month where Gigaton songs were finally played for the first time in 18 months, we'll make some comparisons to how these new songs fit in with the setlist to how the Backspacer songs ended up. Seven O'Clock is seemingly on the projection of an Unthought Known made to be a nightly hit, but what songs can we compare Retrograde and River Cross to? All of that, plus a few good personal stories mixed in for this one. Check out the LO4L Concertpedia at http://liveon4legs.com Donate to the show at http://patreon.com/liveon4legs

Before the episode begins, we'll share our takes on the upcoming weekend where Pearl Jam will play their first show in three years at the Sea.Hear.Now festival! Also! A new album from Eddie! We'll spend time on both before getting to the topic at hand. In this episode, we continue our year long 30th anniversary Seattle hometown series with a tune up show from 2002 that took place shortly before the long Riot Act tour in the proceeding year. The band was slowly returning to the public eye for the first time since the end of the tumultuous Binaural tour, and in the two years since that run, the world had completely changed. In the wake of 9/11 was an impending war with Afghanistan that would transition into a war with Iraq that the band vehemently opposed, and would express their opposition to on the Riot Act record. The Riot Act songs are in their infancy of live performances with most of them only being played in between two and five times. We'll spend some time talking about the crowd's reaction to these songs and why some of them took a lot quicker to attach themselves to (I Am Mine, Save You, Love Boat Captain) while others maybe didn't click as much at first (Ghost, Thumbing My Way). But we'll also get an early appearance of the George W. Bush mask routine during Bu$hleaguer. Another big talking point of the episode is about The Ramones and their presence in the music world at the time. Earlier that year, Eddie, donning a newly buzzed mohawk, inducted The Ramones into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame. It came a year after the passing of Joey, and two months later, Dee Dee would die from a heroin overdose. With Johnny's health in decline, artists at the time were eager to share how The Ramones had influenced them over the years with Ed at the forefront of all of it. We'll talk about their impact on the music world and how many artists were looking to keep their legacy alive after losing two original members in such a short amount of time.

We continue our hometown series this month with a show in... Spokane? Yes, you heard that correctly. In relation to the Deep streaming site that was unveiled last month, we decided to pivot to 2013 and call this a hometown show. Yes, they did play Key Arena in 2013, but if we're gonna cheat we might as well go all the way. That show will happen later in the year! Why is Spokane a hometown show? It's not because Jeremy... you get the joke... As the second most populous city in the state of Washington where the band has resided throughout their entire 30-year career, they've only played in Spokane ONE other time. It was in 1993 and there's no bootleg or setlist anywhere. The only thing we know about that show is that Ed made... the joke. This show we cover in this episode is celebrated as being a home away from home with many apologies for waiting this long and empty promises that they'll be back every year. Ed even busts out the novelty wine bottle for this one! There are a few things to know about this show before diving in. 1) the setlist was curated by Steve Gleason. Only a month after creating the Voodoo Fest setlist, Gleason gets another crack at it, this time adding a few more serious collector's items to the menu. 2) A fan gets a once in a lifetime chance to join the band on stage and rock out to his favorite song under one condition, he must get his head full of dreadlocks shaved. 3) Anything you've read about a specific Van Halen song being played on this night is wrong and you need to forget any mentions of it. The song has only been played twice, both times in Hartford, CT and that's it. Want to fight about it? Listen to the episode first. Donate to the show! http://patreon.com/liveon4legs

Canadian born, Geoff Baker has covered some big news stories, many of which have turned into controversy in which all of them the veracity of his stories was proved. You may recall Tim Johnson managed the Toronto Blue Jays, only to be fired for lying to the players about a Vietnam career that didn't exist. Carlos Delgado, Baker reported was no longer standing for God Bless America during games in Puerto Rico. The story was picked up by major USA new outlets forcing Delgado to have to address the issue with the MLB media. The same type of attention to detail accompanied Baker when he arrived in Seattle covering the Seattle Mariners. Baker broke the story on dysfunction with the Mariners management team as part of a story involving Eric Wedge and Howard Lincoln.Most recently Geoff was on point again as the location for a proposed NBA team was front page news in Seattle only to get unravelled as Key Arena carried the day for an NHL areana.In this episode Baker talks with Jonah Sigel about the Toronto Sports Media scene, difference between coverage there and other markets like Philadelphia and what it is going to be like trying to get Seattle ready for NHL hockey and the Seattle Kraken.As we sit on November 22nd, there is ONE media member in Seattle who has ever worked full time covering an NHL team.
