Press Release:
In a show-stopping, legendary moment, Pearl Jam was joined by Robert Plant on stage at House of Blues® Chicago during an intimate concert event which raised more than $1 million to benefit hurricane disaster relief funds. The show featured individual sets by Pearl Jam and Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation, ending in an encore performance of Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World."
One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the show, which took place October 5, will benefit American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Jazz Foundation of America and the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic (two organizations working together to assist displaced local musicians with housing, employment options, health care and replacement of lost instruments).
Tickets for the sold-out show were $1,000 each; private boxes sold quickly for $25,000 each.
The benefit is one of many similar events occurring at various House of Blues venues throughout the country. Though House of Blues New Orleans is currently closed to the public, the club is expected to open its doors before year-end.

hfb17 - 10/16/2005 9:54:10 PM Tis quite amazing how you could play someone a Pearl Jam song, show them the lyrics, and despite this they can't even give u a semi-accurate account of what the song is about. If you love pearl Jam and understand them, give your self a pat on the back, as you are probably more intelligent than you know.

scrapmetal - 10/16/2005 5:17:35 PM Both Mannings choke under pressure,as evidence by Eli todays vs the Boys.IF Philly thinks they even wild card material theyre crazy this year with McNabb hurt & TO's bad attitude poisoning the team (case in point
Randy Moss ruining the VIkings & Raiders).I stand corrected on Mcready,Ithink,couldve sowrn both PJ guitarists were in MLB originally but then that wouldve inferred that I cared.
