3. That was a fantastic speech by Eddie Vedder and great choice of songs in Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World"

Apparently, this was from their concert in Pittsburgh on Sunday. They also played a concert in Pittsburgh on Friday, and while Vedder didn't give the speech at that one, he played Springsteen's "My City Of Ruins" as a message of solidarity.
