Watch Pearl Jam Rip Through ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ With Steve Van Zandt

Pearl Jam wrapped up their 50th New York City concert by bringing out Steve Van Zandt, Glen Hansard, and Andrew Watt for "Rockin' In The Free World"

Pearl Jam wrapped up their two-night stand at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night with an explosive show that featured six songs from their new LP Dark Matter, half of their 1991 debut Ten, guest appearances by Glen Hansard and producer Andrew Watt, covers of John Lennon’s “Gimme Some Truth,” the Dead Boys “Sonic Reducer,” and Steve Van Zandt ‘s “I Am a Patriot.” This was their first time playing it with Van Zandt, but the E Street Band guitarist did perform at a 2004 Vote For Change show with Bruce Springsteen and surprise guest Neil Young. The main set on night two wrapped up with a guest spot by Andrew Watt on “Waiting For Stevie” and “Rearviewmirror.” It was a full circle moment for the producer, who saw his first Pearl Jam show at MSG as a fan back in 2003.
