"IN 15 years, we can't remember playing on a more beautiful night,"
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder told an enraptured crowd at Subiaco
Oval.
"And there's the moon," he continued, pointing at the thin crescent in
the sky. "It's smiling."
Indeed it was and so too were thousands of fans who gathered on the
lawn and in the stands at football's hallowed ground to see the return
of Seattle's finest rock band.
But it wasn't just the crowd who were lapping it up. Vedder seemed to
be relishing every moment.
>From the moment he stepped on stage, his signature growl unleashed on
"Go", it was clear Vedder was here to have fun.
Leaping into the air with the ease of a testosterone-charged teenager,
the 41-year-old singer seemed to be having the time of his life.
Wearing the seminal grunge uniform of jeans and T-shirt with an open
shirt over the top - his long curls flapping in the breeze - Vedder was
no longer grunge's reluctant messiah, but a shining rock 'n' roll star.
