Pearl Jam contribute the inaugural live performance of “Dance of the Clairvoyants” to All In WA: A Concert for COVID-19 Relieftoday. This marks the first time a track from the band’s new album, Gigaton, has been performed. The concert livestreamed at 7pm PT and broadcast locally in Washington on stations KREM, KING 5, KONG, and KSKN. It is also available globally on Amazon Prime now.
Band members played out of their respective homes, locking into an unbreakable groove despite the distance. Reflecting the song’s spirit of experimentation, guitarist Stone Gossard picks up the bass, while bassist Jeff Ament gets behind the keys and dons a guitar. Matt Cameron holds down the beat as Mike McCready wails through the riffs under a blacklight. Meanwhile, vocalist Eddie Vedder sings waving a lighter as his daughters and wife Jill Vedder make a cameo in the background. Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer also contributes to the song.
As part of All In WA: A Concert for COVID-19 Relief, Pearl Jam joined a bill, including Macklemore, Brandi Carlile, Ciara, Ben Gibbard, The Black Tones, Dave Matthews, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Mary Lambert, Allen Stone, and actor Joel McHale as well as Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, quarterback Russell Wilson, and more.
All In WA is a coordinated statewide relief effort powered by a coalition of public officials, companies, philanthropic leaders, community foundations, United Way organizations, community leaders, frontline nonprofits, and individuals. These groups are coming together to provide immediate critical and emergency support for workers and families most affected across Washington State, and to mobilize committed community and philanthropic groups to go All In for WA.
