Neil Young Joins Pearl Jam On Stage

09/12/2011
. (hennemusic) Pearl Jam rocked Toronto Sunday evening on the first of a two-night stand, as part of the band's 10-date Canadian tour.

Things hit the roof during the second set of encores: they began with a real rarity, "Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns," from the pre-PJ band, Mother Love Bone, bounced into "Alive," and then launched into hyperdrive with Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World" � with an appearance by Neil himself.

When Young walked onto the stage, it was as if the ACC roof was going to give way, with the crowd bursting into thunderous ovation. Mike McCready ran side stage and handed his guitar to Neil, who came out during the extended solo section, and Neil joined the guys by bouncing around and throwing lead licks off every corner of the building. McCready ran and snagged another guitar so he could re-join the fun, and fun it was � ear-to-ear smiles from everyone in the room, including all PJ members.
