On the evening of May 8th, Peter Frampton made a remarkable guest appearance alongside Pearl Jam during their electrifying concert in Nashville, Tennessee. His presence added a special touch to the performance, creating an unforgettable experience for fans.

Frampton joined the band for a heartfelt rendition of Pearl Jam’s classic track, “Black,” which you can watch below. The performance was further enriched with a few lines from Frampton’s iconic hit, “Do You Feel Like We Do,” seamlessly woven into the song.

As Eddie Vedder introduced Frampton, he expressed his admiration, stating, “He was right up there. It was one of the reasons that you loved live records. Later, we decided to release bootlegs because of his influence. He’s such an incredible human being on top of it.” Vedder’s words reflect the deep respect and appreciation the band holds for Frampton’s contributions to music.

Additionally, it was noted by Vedder that Frampton has collaborated with Mike McCready and Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam, both of whom contributed to Frampton’s Grammy-winning album from 2006, Fingerprints. This connection highlights the camaraderie and mutual respect between the artists.
