The Holy Grail of Grunge (Or: Better Loud Than Too Late)

[krylyr]

Halfway through the last encore, Eddie Vedder says, “Sometimes, a single presence can sometimes change everything.” Then he introduced Chris Cornell and they started playing “Hunger Strike.” At that point, I pretty much expected the walls of the Gibson Amphitheater to fall down on us. It was like observing the Holy Grail of Grunge.

Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. It's good to have a grown-up night every once in a while, even if we use that time to pretend like we're still in high school... :)

Yes :)

No Jeremy?
While not a huge PJ fan, I would love to hear Eddie do a few tunes off the Into The Wild soundtrack, and one of my favorite tunes of his, "All The Way."

Nah, Jeremy would've been all wrong for last night's show. Too bad there was no Come Back or Yellow Ledbetter, but still, I think you would've enjoyed it, even if you're not a big PJ fan. The performance was exhilirating.

You'll need to provide me a link for that song, too :) I'm not familiar with it.

Here is the song. Or at least a live recording done and a little background.
