Pearl Jam does a killer version of “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” on Nov. 15 during an extensive fall tour at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX.
The marathon 33-song performance came to a close with a lengthy second encore that included a pair of guests on a Neil Young cover, according to Jam Base. Lots of high energy with musical guests guitarist Carrie Brownstein and on vocals Annie St. Vincent Clark.
Wow. Who wouldn’t want this amazing poster crafted by artist Frank Kozik.
The rare poster promoting a pair of 1993 Neil Young concerts with Booker T and the MGs has gone for $1,375 on eBay after 29 bids according to the website Ultimate Classic Rock.
Only 10 of these silkscreen items were made.
The seller said he purchased this original from Kozik, back in 1994.
The poster was created to promote a pair of September dates, in George, Washington and Portland, Oregon. Booker T. and the MGs, who served as the house band on Stax Records’ legendary 60s recordings for the likes of Otis Redding and others, appeared on these dates with session king Jim Keltner filling in for the late MGs drummer Al Jackson. Young later worked the group on 2002′s ‘Are You Passionate?‘
Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready says a song on the new Pearl Jam album “Lightning Bolt” honors Neil Young.
A short article at MSTARS Newsquotes McCready as saying the song “Yellow Moon” pays homage to Neil, which directly quotes Youngs’ “Helpless.”
“There’s certainly a tip of the hat to Neil. That was a song that was initially taken off the first mixes, but I really, really wanted it on there. I just enjoyed the darkness of it, and I thought I did a pretty good lead on it. I worked hard on that; it’s kind of a simple lead but I wanted it to give the song some brightness, kind of like what David Gilmour always did with Pink Floyd.”
The album is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Exclusive Album Stream: Pearl Jam’s Career Retrospective ‘Twenty’
Soundtrack features live recordings and rarities spanning 20 years
Cameron Crowe’s Pearl Jam Twenty documents the first two decades of the Seattle quintet’s extraordinary career, presenting never-before-seen footage of the band at every phase of their evolution, from their embryonic stage after the dissolution of Mother Love Bone to their present-day role as the elder statesmen of Nineties rock. Pearl Jam Twenty isn’t just a movie, though – we’ve already shared an exclusive excerpt of the companion oral history book of the same name, and now we have an exclusive stream of the soundtrack album.
The Pearl Jam Twenty soundtrack is a career-spanning set of live recordings, demos and unreleased material that illuminates the band’s creative process and showcases their awe-inspiring power as a live act. The set kicks off with a handful of live recordings of classic tunes from Ten, but goes on to include two Temple of the Dog demos, a gorgeous cover of Mother Love Bone‘s “Crown of Thorns,” the previously unheard recording “Acoustic #1” and highlights from their appearances on MTV Unplugged and Saturday Night Live.
The Pearl Jam Twenty soundtrack will be in stores on September 20th 2011, but you can stream it above in its entirety now:
