Pearl Jam teamed up with Harper Vedder for a cover of Taylor Swift‘s ‘The Best Day’ at Ohana Fest this past weekend.The music bash – which was founded by the band’s frontman Eddie Vedder– took place on September 27 through September 29 in Dana Point, California and saw the likes of Devo, Sting, Alanis Morissette, Maren Morris, Jenny Lewis, Turnpike Troubadours, and the Breeders all perform.During their headline set on Sunday (September 29), they treated their fans to a selection of their tracks such as ‘Mind Your Manners’, ‘MFC’ and ‘Wreckage’ before dusting off ‘Big Wave’, playing the song for the first time since 2016 and bringing out Andrew Watt for a performance of ‘Rearviewmirror’.For their first encore of the night, Vedder brought out his youngest daughter Harper to sing a mashup of ‘Last Kiss’ and Swift’s ‘The Best Day’ from her second LP ‘Fearless’. “We’ve had so much diversity on both these stages in the last few days,” Eddie told the crowd, adding: “And we just had special guest Andrew Watt playing guitar on ‘Rearviewmirror.’ I realized it had been a while since we had a powerful young woman up onstage with us.

And so my pal Harper here is going to help me out.”Elsewhere at the festival, Pearl Jam played their 1990s deep cut ‘The Whale Song’ for the first time ever.

The song was originally released on the band’s 1999 compilation ‘Music For Our Mother Ocean 3’, and was later included on their 2003’s ‘Lost Dogs’.
