Pearl Jam Brings Surprise Guests Cheap Trick, Sting To Madison Square Garden
You never know exactly what goodies are in store when Pearl Jam hits the stage. On Monday night (May 2) at New York’s Madison Square Garden, not only did they come packing nearly three hours of literally floor-shaking rock and roll for the second night in a row, but they invited some Rock and Roll Hall of Famers onstage for surprise duets: Sting and members of Cheap Trick.
A few songs into the set, which began with hard-charging rockers like “Corduroy" and “Animal,” frontman Eddie Vedder invited Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson to the stage. Next thing the sold-out crowd knew, Madison Square Garden was being treated to Cheap Trick’s classic “Surrender,” as Nielsen and PJ guitarist Mike McCready rained guitar picks onto the packed GA pit.
