It's never good to apologize before you've even performed a song, but Eddie Vedder did it twice, first for dropping an F-bomb while talking about screwing up a Neil Young cover the night before, and then for cussing in front of the Bridge School kids. But the Pearl Jam frontman ended up turning in a pro set on Sunday night, opening with PJ's "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" and the band's cover of "Last Kiss." He also dedicated a version of Little Steven's "I Am a Patriot" to all of the "99 percenters" in the audience. But it was Vedder's parade of guests towards the set's end that highlighted his show: First up was local boy Jerry Hannan, who wrote "Society" from the Into The Wild soundtrack. Next was Regine Chassange from Arcade Fire singing on the ukulele song "Tonight You Belong to Me," followed by Beck for "Sleepless Nights" (both from Vedder's Ukulele Songs). Finally, "Uncle Neil," as Vedder called him, came out to sing and play on "Don't Cry No Tears." How can you go wrong with the godfather of grunge playing with grunge's most enduring voice?
