Pearl Jam Give a Math Lesson at Bonnaroo

When Pearl Jam took the main stage at Bonnaroo on Saturday night, they were greeted by what literally looked like an ocean of people -- 70,000 for those keeping score. "There was a time we as a group didn't do these types of festivals," frontman Eddie Vedder admitted. But after enjoying a day watching Cat Power, Jack Johnson and others, then looking out from the stage, Vedder said the band realized that Bonnaroo got it right. "It can be done," he marveled, before leading the band into 'Small Town' because, as Vedder explained, "I'm basically looking out at a small town right now."

Vedder toned down his political rants in honor of a celebratory vibe, noting instead that this field in Tennessee felt more like Amsterdam. "If you as a whole crowd told me to f--- off in Dutch right now, it wouldn't surprise me," he joked. Between hits like 'Even Flow' and 'Rain on Me,' Vedder did manage to note that when Bush was elected President, the price of gas was $1.46 as opposed to the $4 it is today. "I'm not good at math," he said. "I'll let you do that." The only problem with that is that, well, hippies aren't always the best with math, either.
