Pearl Jam Performed the Ultimate “Hello Quad Cities”
Eddie Vedder performed a song, called "Moline," about the Quad Cities at Friday night's Pearl Jam show. He says he came up with it 10 minutes before taking the stage at the iWireless Center. Pretty cool!
Rolling Stone even wrote an article about Friday's show:
Pearl Jam had a pair of major surprises in store for fans at their Friday night concert at Moline, Illinois' iWireless Center. Not only did Eddie Vedder debut a new song dedicated to the Quad Cities town, Pearl Jam performed their 1996 album No Code straight through in its entirety, from "Sometimes" to closer "Around the Bend," Jambase reports. "No Code. Front to back. #PJMoline #PJFall2014," the band tweeted before sharing a photo of the Moline setlist, which confirmed that the new song Vedder debuted onstage was also called "Moline."
According to WQAD, Vedder told the crowd that the new song was written especially for Moline and the Quad Cities area. "Moline, it seems, this is for me. You can call me Nancy and I live in Moline," Vedder sings on the track that's about a woman who leaves Detroit for the Illinois city. Vedder also revealed that he'd written the song just minutes before the band took the stage, and that the cut was related to Vitalogy's "Better Man."
