During Pearl Jam’s concert at Madison Square Garden Sunday, the alternative rock band took time out to reflect on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Lead singer Eddie Vedder told the crowd the band had played New York City 37 times, but they were “honored to be spending this important date with you.”
“It carries a lot of weight that there are so many first responders and we were able to make it out tonight,” Vedder added before performing their song “Come Back.”

The band also performed a medley of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” and an instrumental version of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

“There was a time we supported each other. That’s the part we cannot forget. Let those lessons be remembered as our solidarity to come together and keep this country straight,” Vedder told fans.
