Here is a unique and rare acoustic Pearl Jam set from Neil Young’s 24th Annual Bridge School Benefit. Pearl Jam headlined the benefit along with a recently reunited Buffalo Springfield as well as Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson, Modest Mouse, Grizzly Bear, Lucinda Williams, Jackson Browne and David Lindley.
This performance marks Pearl Jam’s 20th anniversary as a band. No need to break out your reading glasses and read that again. I did say 20 years and if you are an original fan of the band like me then you probably feel old right about now. Of all the bands of their generation Pearl Jam has aged the most gracefully. Their last two records have been two of their best which is extremely rare.
This is the second of two sets that Pearl Jam played during the benefit and has a great mixture of new and old. My personal favorite is a first ever live performance Other Side which was written by Jeff Ament and released on the Lost Dogs compilation.
If you’ve enjoyed this show please consider making a small donation to the Bridge School. There is no more worthy cause than supporting children with disabilities.
