I haven't seen Pearl Jam performance, but I saw Eddie Vedder perform once, in 2000, for Ralph Nader's Green Party presidencial run. It was in Madison Square Garden NYC. Vedder sang solo and was lovely. Like the guy a lot. |

I was just listening to Into the Wild earlier today. One of the best albums of all time. Eddie Vedder is among the best-ever songwriters and performers ever. I didn't know he was veg, but...it makes total sense based on his clarity and physical fitness. |
