The show airs tonight, July 17th at 9pm on VH1. Pearl Jam performed "The Real Me" (love the horns) but I guess my question is, are they performing anything else? Video below.

Pearl Jam's "Love Reign O'er Me"
Pearl Jam's cover of The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me" is beyond excellent. I may be getting ahead of myself but I think this is the best studio cover the band has ever released and I haven't even heard the official recording. I've listened to it about a dozen times since I am Fuel, You Are Friends posted a rip from KISW's broadcast. Pearl Jam has been my favorite band for the last 15 years but I'm continually impressed by her fanatical commitment to the band. I've since been able to find a better version from PJ fan site, The Sky I Scrape which I've posted below. Our first glimpse of the song comes from the trailer for Mike Binder's Reign Over Me starring Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle. Cheadle is an excellent actor and Sandler has his moments (Punch Drunk Love) but just hearing Eddie's vocals come in at the end are enough to bring me to the theater.
This morning, Ten Club announced what many fans had rumored, that this song will be included on this year's Holiday vinyl. Also included is the version of "Rockin in the Free World" performed by Pearl Jam and U2 in Australia, which we posted here.
UPDATE: More info from Billboard.
