    Great moments in Spectrum history: Pearl Jam shows love for Kareem

    This is actually one of the last moments in Spectrum history. From Pearl Jam's Spectrum-closing Halloween gig, a musical tribute to Kareem Abdul Jabbar (who announced on Tuesday he's suffering from a rare form of leukemia that) called "Sweet Lew" sung by PJ's bassist and hoops junkie Jeff Ament.

    Note Ament in the Wilt Chamberlain jersey, and Eddie Vedder dribbling the rock in time with the kick drum.

    The band had never performed it live until that show. Eerie foreshadowing, in a way.

    Fist bump to my man Dan DeLuca, who recapped all four Pearl Jam Spectrum gigs in his In the Mix blog.

    kind of off topic......but it made me laugh to see "Not" used again.

    Well it still was cool to hear them bust that out no matter Jeff's reason for writing it. I'm sure with age, he's come to terms with being 'dissed' by KAJ especially since he himself was known for not being very enthusiastic or nice to many fans when they were on the rise. That's what I always found so ironic about this song when I first heard it. Anyway, It was really nice to see him so engaged and seemingly enjoying himself throughout the shows particularly the 31st and I would like to think he is far more approachable now than he used to be in the past.

    I think Sweet Lew is a nice reminder for Jeff...it's funny how before people are famous, rich and bothered, they can come off as so put-off by the rich and famous not wanting to be approached or worshipped...remember how you felt when you wrote it Jeff?..............and how you feel now?

    Fame is a bitch, huh?.....

    Kinda makes you look foolish now... :? :? :? :? :? :lol:

    Sweet Jeff, How could You??????????

    P.S. Remember, everyone's got something to hide.....'cept for me and my monkey ;)
