26 years ago today, Pearl Jam debuted- thanks to Matt Cameron- this delightful jangly cover of The La's. Playing London, the Liverpool band's song was fitting. But our favorite version came that year in Saratoga! #tfh

Happy 48th birthday, Jim James!
When his band, @mymorningjacket, was the world's most overqualified opener for Pearl Jam 20 years ago, it led to one of Eddie Vedder's greatest all-time collaborations. #tfh

Today in Rock History
April 12, 1995
Dave Grohl’s new band, Foo Fighters, launches a club tour in Tempe, Arizona, opening for Mike Watt. Grohl also plays drums for Watt, with an incognito Eddie Vedder on guitar.
28 years ago today, Eddie Vedder performed his duets off the 1995 'Dead Man Walking' soundtrack for the first and only time. Collaborating with vocalist virtuoso, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, was a creative highpoint for EV. #tfh

“Gigaton” was released into the world 6 years ago.
The cover art features an "Ice Waterfall" in Svalbard, Norway - photographed by marine biologist, and co-founder of @Sea_Legacy, @PaulNicklen. Paul stated: “Even though this image was taken just 600 miles from the North Pole, the temperature hovered in the high 60's (°F). Thanks to climate change, the Arctic could be completely devoid of sea ice during the summer months within the next 10 to 20 years."
In the years since the album’s release, the melting Arctic has only grown more urgent. With Earth Day just around the corner, learn more about @Sea_Legacy and their mission at: https://t.co/0fhjKMXwpz
Today we go back 31 yrs in Pearl Jam history to Brisbane '95. It's a moment of perfect synergy expertly captured: Jack's funky playing, Stone and Jeff keeping things on point, and a distinct interplay between Ed and Mike. 💚 #tfh

Nothing but love for Jack Irons!
Today marks 28 years since @jackironsmusic played his last show as Pearl Jam's drummer.
On the final night of their Aussie tour, PJ busted this song out for the first time with an audience. #tfh
