Good mezzanine tickets (2nd row in the small Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley) for Eddie Vedder in a solo-acoustic show supporting the Into the Wild soundtrack songs? Could this be the best concert I’ve ever been to?
A couple notes:
- Eddie brought out surprise guest Sean Penn and sang a little song about him. Pretty decent.
- Eddie commented that the hilariously bad drum circle occurring near the theatre. Pretty amusing.
- Eddie performed several Dylan covers … all well done. Masters of War is (and always is) stunning. (not just pretty stunning.)
- Eddie said that when he played Guaranteed for his young daughter, she got very concerned and stopped him when he sang “Don’t come closer or I’ll have to go.” Funny little image.
