The second performance on Wednesday saw frontman Eddie Vedder dedicate a song to his late uncle, who passed away 10 years ago to the day.
Vedder also brought out one of Tom Petty’s guitars for the opening song of the band’s encore, for a solo rendition of Petty’s classic, ‘I Won’t Back Down’.
Another cover song late in the set, ‘Rockin’ In The Free World’ by Neil Young, saw the band invite the opening act Deep Sea Diver on stage, along with Watt and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, who was in attendance, to jam with the band.
