Roger Waters was joined by surprise special guest Eddie Vedder to close the second of three nights at Chicago's United Center.

Waters & Vedder previously paired for Comfortably Numb at the 12.12.12 Hurricane Sandy benefit. Since then, Vedder has played the song over a dozen times with Pearl Jam and a handful of times at solo shows.

    That's pretty cool how he just kind of appeared, lol. That must have been an exciting moment for the PJ fans in the crowd!

    I will be seeing Roger in St Paul, MN on Wednesday night. I know it is highly unlikely, but I would love to see this in MN! Kicking myself for not getting tickets to the Chicago shows!

    Maybe it's new. Maybe someone just gave it to him. Maybe it's got some kind of special meaning right now. Who knows?  ;)

    That was great! Love how he just strolls out. His obvious joy in doing his thing is really such a treat to watch. The man can sing and loves doing it.

    Eddie Vedder and Lucius on the same stage... I wouldn't be able to handle it. They're one of the best younger bands around right now.

    How do we know that? We know it's a championship ring, but someone said he was wearing a massive ring on stage the other night, so I suppose the question is, did someone let him wear it around town, or did the Cubs give him an honorary one, and it is in fact his? ..... Obviously this is none of our business, hahaha, but that doesn't mean it's not going to be discussed. ;) (I personally just find the size of the ring funny.... maybe they should tone those things down a bit so that the people who win one can conceivably wear it regularly without looking like a douche :lol: ).

    That's John Vincent's championship ring. He sings the anthem regularly for the Cubs. And, the ring he wore at the Waters show was nowhere near as huge as that championship ring.

    You can see that the ring says "Vincent" on it if you zoom in

    Can anyone zoom in and tell me what kind of sunglasses those are? They look like the pair I ran over with my lawnmower & have been on the hunt for the past 3 yrs
