Pearl Jam performed their first full length concert since 2016 on Tuesday night in Santiago, Chile. The band debuted their new single “Can’t Deny Me” live. Eddie Vedder dedicated the song to the victims of the high school shooting in Florida last month.
Eddie Vedder dedicated “Come Back” to Chris Cornell. Before the performance of the song, he said it was ‘for Chris.’ While Vedder discussed Cornell and paid tribute to him during his solo tour last year, this is the first time he has specifically said his name since his May 2017 death.
