Vedder, meanwhile, performed a seven-song set that included a cover of Tom Petty's "Wallflowers," Jerry Hannan's "Society" and Indio's "Hard Sun." He also performed the Pearl Jam songs "Wishlist," "Can't Keep," "Better Man" and "Corduroy." His set can be viewed from the 25:33 mark through to the 45:12 mark.
