Eddie Vedder was one of many early performers at Saturday Evening Dwell’s fiftieth anniversary live performance, however he definitely made his mark with an unforgettable two-song set that includes a canopy of Tom Petty’s “The Ready” and a nod to Elvis Costello’s notorious “Radio Radio” second on SNL.
The Pearl Jam frontman opened with “The Ready,” a tribute that doubled as an in memoriam for SNL legends misplaced through the years, together with Gilda Radner, Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, Norm Macdonald, and John Belushi.
From there, Vedder paid homage to Costello’s iconic 1977 efficiency, during which Costello abruptly stopped taking part in “Much less Than Zero” and as an alternative launched into “Radio Radio”. Vedder recreated the second earlier than tearing right into a blistering rendition of Pearl Jam’s “Corduroy.”
