Pearl Jam Close Chicago Show With Cheap Trick Cover [WATCH]

Pearl Jam leaned on one of Illinois' finest to close out their set at the United Center in Chicago on Sept. 5.

Not The First Time Covering Cheap Trick

According to Spin, the band wrapped up the night with a cover of Cheap Trick's "Surrender." The website said the last time Pearl Jam played the song live was Aug. 20 and 22, 2016 at Wrigley Field.

A video shared online from the performance shows Eddie Vedder stepping back from the mic a time or two to let the crowd takeover on vocals.

Pearl Jam, for the most part, stays true to Cheap Trick's original from 1978. Spin said Vedder introduced the song saying "we're going to send you home with a Chicago song, and it ain't Chicago."

Cheap Trick hail from the Rockford area. Guitarist Rick Nielsen and bassist Tom Petersson have also made surprise guest appearances onstage with Pearl Jam including a 2016 show in New York when they played "Surrender" at Madison Square Garden.

Vedder would later leap from a stage monitor as the rest of Pearl Jam hits the final note of the Cheap Trick hit at the United Center.

Pearl Jam's Fall Tour Plans

The cover of "Surrender" wrapped up a 24-song set for Pearl Jam during their first night at the United Center. The band set for a second show at the Chicago arena on Sept. 7.

Between the two dates, the Chicago Cubs held a Pearl Jam Ten Club Day at Wrigley Field on Sept. 6. Members of the band's fan club had a chance to grab a limited edition Eddie Vedder Cubs jersey.

After the Chicago dates, Pearl Jam will continue their fall tour in Indianapolis on Sept. 10.

See Inside Jimmy Buffett's Staggering $6.9 Million Palm Beach Mansion

Jimmy Buffett sure knew how to live the good life. His former 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 4,039-square-foot mansion in the exclusive Eden Properties neighborhood in Palm Beach is exactly the kind of laid-back home you'd expect the superstar to relax in when he was off the road.

The interior centers around a combined dining and living room with eye-popping vaulted ceilings topped off by skylights, while a massive wall of mahogany-framed sliding glass doors looks out over the pool area outside. The kitchen is decorated in gleaming white, and each of the bedrooms has its own attached bathroom, while the massive master suite also has sliding glass doors that open to both the pool and a bathroom that looks like it belongs in a high-end resort.

The exterior of the house is just as striking, centered around a sparkling pool of deep cobalt blue. The pool area features plenty of lounging, and a loggia just outside the living room offers open-air dining. There are lush gardens, brick paths that walk through elaborate pergolas and a fountain. The property also features a two-car garage with a guest suite overhead, and it offers deeded access to the beach nearby.
