Florida 24/04/25 I'd like to make a toast... We've been playing music with this guy for decades and decades... Every night, we've had the great fortune of sharing the stage with him... He's been absolutely magnificent each and every gig, not a one missing... I just want to raise a toast to the great, great Matt Cameron... As I've mentioned before, we were invited here by a very very special group of people... They ask us for years... This is their place... This is their land... I'm talking about our friends, the Seminole tribe of Florida... It's for their perseverance that we are fortunate enough to come here, and on top of that, before the show they honoured us as a band for our continuous work with the indigenous peoples all throughout our country... But I will say, all the work that we were commented for was actually done by one man... And that's our very own, Jeff Ament... In the last 25-30 years, he's been overseeing and funding, and building skate parks on reservations all throughout the land... I asked him tonight: How many?... He was guessing 42... 42 skate parks... A few years ago, they had a ceremony at the end of christening one of the parks... Maybe it was in Montana?... They christened it and also gave Jeff the name Holds Water... That's very very powerful... And I tell you, it's very true... 35 years of being in a band with him, and there's never been a leak... He certainly holds water... Jeff Ament, we toast you... And he wrote this song... It's called Won't Tell... ~ Eddie Vedder
