Eddie Vedder is known for throwing down a sneaky cover or two during a Pearl Jam set, giving fans a taste of the band’s wide-reaching taste in music.
At a recent Pearl Jam show at Prague’s O2 Arena, Vedder stripped down the Beatles’ classic 1965 track ‘Help’, performing it solo midway through the band’s set.
Vedder played the first verse and chorus of the transcendent track before the rest of the band joined in as they launched into their own track ‘Help Help’.

Pearl Jam recently dedicated a performance of their song ‘Love Boat Captain’ to US president Donald Trump, coinciding with the announcement of Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration policy that saw families separated and young migrant children in makeshift shelters as a result.
“I would like to send this one out to the guy who is in the White House back in the United States,” said Vedder.
