Reviews

Eddie Vedder

By Chad Berndtson

Basing the performance around seven songs from his quietly intense soundtrack to the movie Into the Wild, Eddie Vedder’s solo show drew on central themes of determination, regret, and wanderlust. [18 August 2008]

Eddie Vedder: Into the Wild

By Jeff Vrabel

The story of Wild is one of alienation and distancing and and the self-discovery that can be found only in wandering and escape and solitude, themes you may remember from Every Other Thing Pearl Jam Has Ever Done. [16 October 2007]
