Pearl Jam have been playing to thousands of people since their very first gig, yet even Eddie Vedder seemed bowled over to play a solo show in front of over 50,000 fans at the Firenze Rocks festival in Florence, Italy. It’s his largest solo show to date.

Watch Vedder play his 2007 solo song, ‘Society’.
