Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam rock for the TetonAT visor in Salt Lake City last week.
More details to come!!! Photo: Bryan Feinstein, front-row…center.
This is my favorite song from the new Backspacer album. Here’s the live version from Salt Lake City, Sept. 28, 2009. Tell me that dude on stage isn’t winning some serious points for that one! 🙂
I liked the part at the end where Eddie scoops the dripping sweat off of his forehead, runs his fingers through his oily hair… and then forces the guy AND HIS GIRLFRIEND to shake his hand. No wonder they ran off the stage.
Thought the same thing. Even though it was Eddie…it still would have been kinda gross to shake his sweaty, greasy palm. But hey…rock stars are like gods to some…and she’ll probably not wash her hand for the next month…or do something else with it. Oh…never mind.
In a related story…I saw PJ once back in 94/5ish in Missoula, MT. The girls we were with insisted we follow the band to the airport after the show. We followed them. They were in 2 university vans…with Eddie driving one. We (not personally) ended up mooning them…and they mooned us…and pulled in front of our little compact car…girls in front, me and my bro in the back seat. Next thing we know, the back doors of one of the vans opens up…and one of the occupants starts throwing subs/grinders/heroes at the car. A few made good contact…and the girl didn’t wash one slice of lingering tomato off her car…it was there for weeks. The band finally reached the airport and went into a restricted area where we couldn’t go.
The whole experience seems like a movie now.
I havent seen a sandwhich refered to as a grinder since I moved to wyoming, glad to see you still show your east coast roots.
SCORE for sure.
Cool…I was at that show, too! The dude on stage had just proposed to his girlfriend! Pretty nice that she said yes. Talk about pressure.
Incredible show. Three sets! Crowd energy was electric! 10,000. Sold out.
