Who was that kid that belted that shit out and where can I find footage of it?

Also, does anybody remember this or know what I'm talking about?

    i was there. haven't ever seen footage, but i haven't looked either. all we know is it's michael from fargo, because that's how ed introduced him. i've never seen anyone post a "that was me!" type thing on here (or anywhere, for that matter).

    ed was sick that show. i presume michael from fargo was down in front and had been yelling for lukin, and at some point on the boot you hear ed say "do you know the words?" and then say something like 'we'll see', or something to that affect.

    then later they brought him up on stage and then that dude lived one of our dreams- to be on stage playing with pearl jam.

    there really isn't much more to it as far as i can tell. ed couldn't sing lukin, this dude wanted to hear it, and ed took the opportunity to let the guy go at it.

    as far as i can remember, Michael from Fargo nailed it. It was awe-inspiring and I still tell people about that when Lukin comes on.

    Just want to say I have never commented on anything anywhere.. I just heard this Michael Benton (spelling?) perform his Lukin on PJ's Wishlist (his wishlist)on Sirius and as far as I am concerned all things considered he f'n nailed it. Cheers to him for having the fortitude to get on that stage. He lived a dream for sure! That's an unimaginable experience. I hope he sees this cause he's awesome and PJ showed us all true awesomeness by letting that boy can on stage and live a dream. Keep in mind there's no rehearsal, they have no idea if this kid can deliver the goods. This is one of the greatest moments in music history. Congratulations Michael
