At the final quit of Pearl Jam’s North American tour, they treated their hometown Seattle fans to a thing that took spot for the initially time ever at a single of their shows.

After playing 17 songs at their second evening at the Climate Pledge Arena, Eddie Vedder walked out onstage alone to kick off an eight-song encore. This had the look of getting a thing quite common as the singer has opened encores with solo acoustic performances at prior stops on the run.

Vedder’s song choice, nevertheless, was what produced this evening such a exclusive a single. The frontman performed a solo acoustic version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt,” but in the style of Johnny Cash’s legendary cover of that quite song. It’s a thing that is never ever been carried out at a Pearl Jam show prior to, even though Vedder has played this rendition a handful of occasions at his personal solo shows.

The solo performance was preceded by a heartfelt introduction as Vedder addressed the audience on the final evening of the North American tour leg in help of Pearl Jam’s new album, Dark Matter.

“There’s no other guest list as big as the one as we have when we’re in Seattle,” Vedders softly says following lightly strumming his guitar for a bit. “San Diego, Chicago.. nope. Seattle,” he laughs before getting tender. “To be honest, I wish it were longer. There are certain names that I so deeply wish were on the guest list tonight, but we lost them too early and in ways we could never imagine. Damnit if I can’t stop thinking about them, but that’s a good thing too, I guess.”

The crowd claps in help and immediately grow to be elated when they comprehend what song Vedder has just launched into.
