You are most likely correct on all accounts. Thought they might just be lights as I've never seen bass traps that looked that janky but thought it might be a homemade trap! LOL

They definitely look like bass traps to me...There's all kinds of 'treatment' in that room.. Anyway, thanks @200man for asking that question as I just discovered all the videos from the Stern show performance on Youtube and they are KILLER KILLER. . Eddie sang soooo well, and loads of great guitar tones. Coincidentally my friend just asked me at an Umphrey's Mcgee concert 2 nights ago, if I'd ever seen Pearl Jam and I told him I saw them in 1991-1992 ish locally in Burlington VT opening for the Smashing PUmpkins and Red Hot Chili Peppers and within a year at that point at a Lollapalooza show in Saratoga, NY. . Then I stumbled across this thread and listened to those videos 32 years later .

They're lamps. I think they came from Ikea.

That had to be one hell of a show! Love all three of those bands.

Oh wow, that is funny! LOL I stand corrected too. I feel like such an idiot now!

what are those mics pointing into the tubes ?

They sure look like Earthworks mics to me! And they are overheads!
