Vedder Warms Up For Solo Trek With Seattle Gigs

Eddie Vedder

March 26, 2008, 11:00 AM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder stunned Seattle fans who'd bought tickets for a screening of "Into the Wild" on Monday and Tuesday by instead performing a full solo set, in advance of the April 2 launch of his maiden solo tour.

 

Tickets to the gigs at Kenyon Hall were sold for $5 by Easy Street Records, with less than 150 people on hand each night. A number of fans who lined up outside the venue but were initially unable to get inside were treated to coffee by the Easy Street staff, before being ushered in gratis after the show had started.

 

Vedder played guitar for most of the shows but also strapped on a banjo for Cat Stevens' "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out" and switched to harmonica, mandolin and ukulele on a host of other tunes.

 

As expected, the set lists mixed Pearl Jam tracks ("Around the Bend," "I Am Mine," "Dead Man") with songs from Vedder's "Into the Wild" soundtrack ("Guaranteed," "No Ceiling," "Society") and a bevy of covers (Bruce Springsteen's "Growin' Up," Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down," Bob Dylan's "Forever Young, Tom Waits' "Picture in a Frame").

 

Also performed were James Taylor's "Millworker," unreleased solo cuts like "Broken Hearted" and

Damn that would have been really cool to see.

Pearl Jam made some decent music, I just can't get past what a truly awful singer Vedder is. I have nothing against the guy, until he starts singing..then I'm well and fully offended.

 

 

Yeah I am grumpy today.

Anybody going? I would go to Santa Barbara but the only tickets available are wayyyyy too much.

Radio Plays Ball With Vedder's Cubs Song

September 18, 2008 , 4:30 PM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

Chicago radio stations and sports bars have begun spinning "All the Way," a Chicago Cubs-themed ditty written by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder at the request of Cubs legend Ernie Banks.

 

The track, with lines like "Our heroes wear pinstripes / pinstripes in blue / give us a chance to feel like heroes too," was recorded last month during a Vedder solo show at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre.

 

According to Pearl Jam's Web site, "All the Way" will be available for download in the "next few days," and may also be sold on CD and "souvenir 45 singles."

 

Vedder is a lifelong Cubs fan who has sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at Wrigley Field and also thrown out the ceremonial first pitch there.
