Pearl Jam celebrated their 20th anniversary in style over the weekend with their two-day fest, "PJ20." Held at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, on Saturday and Sunday, Eddie Vedder and his musical brethren triumphantly ended the holiday weekend with a massive three-hour set, according to Billboard.
The show reportedly featured all of the classics – “Alive,” “Jeremy,” “Even Flow,” “Daughter” – but the bevy of special guests is what truly showed Pearl Jam’s influence and musical legacy. Scratching each other’s backs, the fest became a hodge-podge of onstage collabs. Vedder showed his appreciation for the opening acts: adding vocals and percussion to the set by Liam Finn, duetting with John Doe for his tune “Golden State,” mellowing out on Glen Hansard’s “Falling Slowly” (a song from Hansard’s Irish indie flick "Once") and rocking out with the Strokes on “Juicebox.”
Everyone obliged in returning the favor as Pearl Jam brought out guest after guest throughout their lengthy set. Glen Hansard, David Garza and Joseph Arthur all joined PJ for their No Code B-side, “All Night.” Julian Casablancas, sans the Strokes, swaggered onstage for a rendition of “Red Mosquito,” while Beatles offspring Dhani Harrison contributed to the oldie-but-goodie “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town.” Read More...
