PEARL JAM CONCERT WOES

During a show in New York city this weekend, the crowd got a little too moshed-together for Eddie Vedder's liking. In the middle of the show, the singer stopped a song and begged the audience to step back a few paces, as folks up front were getting crushed. When nobody moved, Eddie expressed that "if someone were killed I don't know if we would ever be able to play live again." Things chilled out rather quickly after that. Source: Cybersleaze
