The momentum toward the May Pearl Jam shows began in earnest over the weekend with the Wishlist Foundation/Team McCready global fundraiser. On Saturday, fans converged on cities across the world to reconnect with each other and do some fundraising for Advocacy for Patients with Chronic Illness. In addition to being a ton of fun, it was a resounding success with thousands of dollars raised for the cause. I was at the Seattle gig where we were treated to a surprise set by the man who inspired the event himself – Mike McCready! I recap everything on #48 and share some tunes from Jodie Watts and To The Glorious Lonely who are friends of Mike and were also on the bill that night.
The momentum continues tonight with the Brad show which also promises to feature Satchel, Pigeonhed, Malfunkshun, Stone’s Hank Khoir, and a reunited Mother Love Bone. It’s guaranteed to be a night to remember. Since it’ll be a big evening for Mr. Gossard, we are showing Stone a little love to round out today’s podcast.
Flight To Mars returns next week to kick things into hyper drive with its 8th Annual Benefit Concert. Pearl Jam should be a well-oiled machine come May 1st at the NOLA Jazz Fest.
Hope you dig #48.
Cheers! Donny
