I was at one of those shows when he did that! It totally freaked out the stage guys….. I could see the fear in their eyes. It really did go far beyond what even the fans wanted…… It’s amazing he never got hurt.
Eddie Vedder is just too cool! He is a true poet. You just have to work to figure out the lyrics.
when will we see it in France ???
Will it be played in Australia at all??
Cheers
I was at Lollapalooza 92′ and watched Eddie climb a rope ladder up about 40 feet in the air. He was hanging on by one arm singing “Once”…pretty freaking amazing! Pearl Jam is the greatest band of my generation!
it’s fun to climb…
I have not climbed again for 20 years
only got to see them once…the yield tour in st louis..past the stage diving, but still a performer for the ages.
mr veder is surely in a class of his own,one of a kind and keeps it real
I was fortunate to see them twice. Once in Las Cruces New Mexico and here in Dallas Texas several several years ago Dennis Rodman showed up to that one and lifted Eddie V. up on his shoulders and was walking around on stage with him sight too see. They are a great group who put out excellent music that I think plenty of people can relate to. Keep Rockin P.J. as I look in my Rear View Mirror…
It was excellent.. I think it was so difficult to choice between some songs .. I would include all of them!.. Waiting for sunday! (argentina)
