Ran across this pic while aimlessly cruising the Internet. I've always appreciated Eddie's music, both with Pearl Jam and Solo, but never realized he knew his way around a mandolin

How does this prove he "knows his way around a mandolin" the pic only proves he once held one in his hands. Sound files or GT*O !!!

Check out "Rise" off the Into the Wild soundtrack. I even want to say he plays banjo on it as well. I'm sure there's some Youtube footage out there too.

I noticed the mando on a few of his songs from Into the Wild. Thought I was listening to Yonder Mountain String Band at first until I heard his voice on those songs :)
yes, Vedder is fantastic. Quite.

There have been several topics about Into the Wild and Eddie (just search "Vedder"). Here's one from when he was on tour in the spring of '08 and features pictures....

Sorry, I couldn't picture him as serious. This is better than his other band.

Neil Finn's Framus was the only mando content. Kept ready in his toast rack but used as a boredom buster, so not played in the show.

I'm not surprised; that ridiculous four-hole string-tee makes it un-tunable the way it is set-up from the factory.

I heard another Eddie mandolin solo/singing song that I liked but can't remember the name of it. Anyone know the names of other Eddie mando songs (besides Rise)?
