Pearl Jam At Irvine Meadows

by chris cunningham

Hi, my name’s Eddie Vedder. Like Pete Yorn, I too play “Sincere Rock” and take myself way to seriously. I’ve taken the band Pearl Jam hostage and I’m gonna stand here with my guitar for two hours and not really do much. You guys like to think I’m really amazing, so it doesn’t really matter. My light show’s also going to consist of a mirrorball. Ok, so Pearl Jam weren’t that amazing tonight. Quite run of the mill really. At least they played “Black”. The longest friggin’ line in the history of lines was queued up outside the amphitheater. Someone screwed up. We decided to wait for the line to get completely inside before we went in. An hour and thirty minutes later the last people filed in. Pearl Jam was already on stage. Not that we missed much. The frogs are still croaking in the creek. Some things never change.
