I saw the two Chicago shows and extended my trip one day on the hunch that I'd get a little more Pearl Jam at historic Wrigley Field.

    Since this seems to be the only Ed at Wrigley thread, I'll add the post I just made on twofeetthick here. Anyone get a screen shot of what I describe at the end?

    It’s customary for the guest to appear on the radio broadcast during the bottom of the 6th. I haven’t heard too many people do that this year, however. But Eddie Vedder is an exception, he loves being around former Cub Ron Santo and vice versa. There was some entertaining banter there for the Cub/Pearl Jam fan.

    The guest also remains in the tv booth after they sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game, and is part of the broadcast for the bottom of the 7th. Once again, delightful conversation. This time, however, the Cubs broadcasters were discussing with Ed how much it takes to write a song. This was right after Derrek Lee had hit a double. Ed, in all of his fandom, says that he “could write a song about that double”. Which he proceeded to do. The first couple lines were “D Lee doubled off the green, biggest comeback I’ve ever seen” and then a couple lines about the perpetual hope of a Cub fan. They had screen shots of the words he had written in the top of the 8th.

    Unless you get to meet Ed at the game, it’s a real treat to be able to be at home and tune in for the radio and TV broadcasts when he’s in town.
    AskPearlJam: PearlJama101-guest says: Who's idea was it for Eddie to play banjo on "Soon Forget"?
    Eddie: I don't know whose idea it was but it was turned down.

    The only bad part was you had to go to Wrigley Field
