During Pearl Jam’s performance in São Paulo, Brazil on Saturday, Eddie Vedder took some time to pay tribute to those lost in the attacks in Paris the night before. Introducing “Love Boat Captain,” their song that references the 2000 tragedy at Roskilde, Vedder addressed the crowd in Portuguese, saying, in rough translation, “Our love goes out to all in Paris.”

During the performance, he modified he song’s lyrics in an obvious dedication to those who were killed in the attacks. The original lyric “Lost 9 friends we’ll never know / Two years ago today” became what sounds like “Lost 90 friends we’ll never know / Oh, again today.” Watch video of the speech and performance here.

    It was strange to go back to the normality of work after spending this abnormal weekend checking on relatives and friends and reading every article on the subject.
    My bosses were kind enough to close the lines so that the phones do not ring during the silence minute.
    Friends and colleagues were, each in their own way, caring.
    Then I came home and listened to this Love Boat Captain, played in Sao Paulo. It was soothing, as Pearl Jam music always is. And I loved it.
    I was lucky enough not to lose any of my loved ones. But I guess that we all feel like we have lost 90 friends we'll never know

    Peace, love & fuck terrorism

    I too found solace in some of Pearl Jam's music after the terrorist attack. Actually been spending time listening to the Lightning Bolt album. I love the lyric in Getaway... "Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith...in no faith". MYM, Sirens, Infallible, Pendulum all were on repeat listens.

    I love that lyric too, it helps me when I need this freedom from religion.
    Today it was "Hard to imagine" and "Dog in the sand" by Frank Black & the Catholics for me.
