Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder has made no secret of his appreciation for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers over the years. In the most-excellent documentary Running Down A Dream, Vedder discusses the first time he heard The Waiting and how much that song means to him. Last night in Amsterdam Vedder made the most of an off night from his band’s tour to sit-in with Petty and his group at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam.
The first song Eddie sat in on was The Waiting in which the grunge rocker handled most of the vocals.
