The one-night-only event — taking place December 16th at 8:30 p.m. EST on the virtual venue Looped — will see the Rock Hall-inducted band and the Pulitzer Prize winner have a conversation about their artistic inspirations and advocacy.
“Georgia came through for America and now it’s time for America to come through for Georgia,” Eddie Vedder said in a statement. “We — along with millions of others — are fans of Lin-Manuel for both his art and his activism and we are excited to work together to support progressive organizations Latino Victory Project, Latino Community Fund of Georgia, and the Hispanic Federation. We hope you will join us live on December 16th as we talk music, art, and activism.”
Miranda added: “I’ve long admired Pearl Jam’s music and commitment to advocacy — and their music has made an impact on me since I was a teenager. I haven’t met them yet, but have wanted to for a long time. We thought it would be fun to meet in front of our fans while raising awareness and resources to make sure we get out the vote for the Georgia runoff election.”
This is cool and all but anyone else find it frustrating that a band that was ready to tour in March hasn't found a way to perform at all in 2020? I really thought this was gonna be it. Big letdown to see it's just a "discussion".

I'm right there with you on this. No livestreams this year was very surprising. Even if people had to pay for them, give us something!

Wasn't there a live stream for salesforce. Agree. I was so inspired by Ben Gibbard's performances early on and so glad to see others follow, I thought for sure Ed and the band would do something.
We
are excited to join our new friend Lin-Manuel Miranda alongside
Georgia's own Wayne Brady for a conversation on arts and activism to
benefit organizations working to get out the vote in the Georgia runoff
elections. Join us on Dec 16th at 5:30pm PT and your $10 donation will
go to support the efforts of Latino Community Fund Georgia, Hispanic
Federation and Latino Victory. We hope to see you there.
That was super cool to see Sonic Reducer! Wonder if there is more footage? (Yes, please!)
That was a really cool clip. I wish they showed more. I also wish they had sung live. For a minute it looked like they were going to, but got shy about what to sing. Also, Eddie wasn’t wearing a hat for this one. That was a change of pace.
