At tonight’s Global Citizen Fest in NYC’s Central Park, Pearl Jam ended their 12 song set with covers of John Lennon, Bob Marley, and Neil Young. Sitting without his band on acoustic guitar, Eddie Vedder was joined on Marley’s “Redemption Song” by Beyonce, who performed and introduced First Lady Michelle Obama earlier in the night.
