I just wanted to pass word along that Eddie will be a part of an exclusive interview this Sunday on ESPNs NFL Countdown. The show airs from 10-1 eastern time right before the games begin.

From what I'm told, this is a can't miss feature. You may remember Former NFL player Steve Gleason of the New Orleans Saints. In the first home game that the Saints played in after the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, Gleason blocked a punt that ended up being recovered for a touchdown. The play became such an inspiration that they built a statue of Gleason's block that sits outside the Superdome.

About eight years after the famed play, Gleason is fighting for his life suffering in a battle with ALS. He's been conduced to a wheelchair and no longer has the ability to speak. He communicates through a computer. His time left on this Earth is dwindling as the days wind down.

For one last wish, Gleason wanted the chance to interview his favorite band, Pearl Jam. Like all of us here who are passionate about the band, Gleason has also felt a special connection to Eddie and the boys. Gleason was able to live his dream and sat down for a one on one with Eddie.

From everything I've heard about it (and I haven't heard much) this interview was inspirational and will leave you teary eyed. That's all I know. I just wanted to pass this along because for a Pearl Jam fan, it's a cant miss.
Hi, I host a Pearl Jam Podcast. We go back to some of the classic shows in their history and break down the entire setlist front to back. From historic perspective, to performances, to setlist construction, to fan stories. We do our best to capture the magic that is their live act and help you relive those memories, or if you weren't there, maybe turn you on to a show you've never heard before.

Live On 4 Legs can be found on Apple Podcast, Spotify and any other major podcast platform. But please support our website and check out the episodes archived there. Oh, and the Concertpedia as well (for you Five Horizons and Two Feet Thick fans, we've picked up where they've left off)

    Saw him briefly in short film, so young. It rips your heart out. He had best line too, "what the fuck?" Hilarious. Wish him peace. God bless.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    No
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
