Eddie Vedder Shows a Mesa, CA Karaoke Crowd How its Done
February 9, 2009
....................................................
An impromptu karaoke performance at a local hotel bar karaoke night is the stuff of legend as the Pearl Jam frontman covers a U2 song.
See the Video Below
Picture This:
Your'e having a cocktail in a hotel lobby bar, watching the karaoke train move through one inferior performance at a time. Then a rock n roll legend walks up to the mike and the KJ cues up the music from yet another rock legend. You watch in anticipation as the opening notes of the song play and the first line of lyrics appear on the monitor. That must be about the time that you ask yourself some clarifying questions like; Am I dreaming? Have I had one many? Am I getting Punked? Is this a another psychotic break? or am I just this damn lucky? Then you bare witness to this: (video courtesy of Bunny with Fangs:)
Someone had to be asking themselves this when they saw Eddie Vedder pick up the mic and sing U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name." He was at the Best Western Dobson Ranch Inn in Mesa, California last weekend. Vedder was in town for the annual Chicago Cubs fantasy baseball camp. Rollingstone.com described his karaoke cover as a "stirring, dead-on rendition" of the U2 classic. But the karaoke bug always bites twice and sometimes thrice, so in
addition to his way cool cover of U2, he also sang the Beatle's "Yellow Submarine" and Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe."
