Eddie Vedder Joins The Who to Perform “The Seeker” at LA Benefit: Watch
Eddie Vedder joined The Who on stage at a private cancer benefit in Los Angeles over the weekend for an acoustic performance of 1970’s “The Seeker.” While introducing the performance, lead singer Roger Daltrey gave a disclaimer that he wouldn’t be doing the “very loud scream” on the song because he couldn’t “get my balls to drop any further at the moment,” so he would have to leave the audience to do the screaming. Nevertheless, Daltrey still hit some higher notes while trading vocals with Vedder.
