This time-lapse was created from photographs taken every 6 seconds from 9:09AM - 11:29PM. Over 10,000 images we’re taken.
If you notice Eddie Vedder performing on stage before they seem to begin the actual show, that is during rehearsal. Yes, that is Ben Harper with him.
EV at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on August 11, 2009 in London, England.
Eddie Vedder can still recall the exact date of his first Who concert: June 18, 1980, at the San Diego Sports Arena. By then, Kenney Jones was drumming in the band, and he “was on fire,” Vedder remembers. “These guys changed my whole world. It’s a big part of why I get to do what I do.”

Word of the Day | sanctimonious
sanctimonious • \ˌsaŋ(k)-tə-ˈmō-nē-əs, -nyəs\ • adjective
: excessively or hypocritically pious
The word sanctimonious has appeared in 12 Times articles over the past year, including in the recent review of the new Pearl Jam album “Backspacer,” on September 21, 2009:
While the music hurtles along, Pearl Jam’s new songs don’t try to fake youthful attitudes or troubles. Mr. Vedder no longer sings about surviving traumas, as he did on Pearl Jam’s first albums, or vents political anger as he did on the band’s previous studio album, ”Pearl Jam,” in 2006. Now his lyrics reflect — sometimes raucously, sometimes pensively — on a fulfilled life. […]
Pearl Jam’s quandary is that with fewer outside targets or frustrations to rail against, it risks turning sanctimonious. No doubt Mr. Vedder means it when he sings, ”Fill the air up with love,” or ”I’m still holding tight to this dream of distant light.” But Pearl Jam’s music doesn’t align well with satisfaction.
