Over the weekend, the annual Ohana Festival located in Dana Point, California began. The rock band Pearl Jam headlined the festival on the 27th and the 29th of this month, performing their cover of “Gremmie Out Of Control”, originally by The Silly Surfers, for the first time live. Watch their performance below:
Eddie Vedder, lead vocalist for the band starts the performance by announcing to the audience, “We’re gonna play a song tonight — that we’ve never played before, and very well may never play again.” The performance includes a video of surfers in the background to fit the beachy-song theme, along with guitarist Stone Gossard singing and dancing along onstage with Vedder, while record producer Brendan O’Brien plays the guitar for the band.
Eddie Vedder, lead vocalist for the band, “joined sets by Cat Power, Crowded House, and Glen Hansard throughout the weekend,” according to Stereogum. Vedder also performed a mixture of Pearl Jam’s “Last Kiss” and Taylor Swift’s “The Best Day” with the help of his youngest daughter, Harper Vedder.
Pearl Jam is set to continue their Pearl Jam 2024 Tour. In late June and early July, the band had to cancel three of their European shows, two in Berlin, Germany, and one in London due to an illness. The band’s next show is to be performed on November 8th in Auckland, New Zealand.
