Live performance of "I Only Play 4 Money" by The Frogs with Eddie Vedder at the Regal Theater in Chicago, Illinois on 03/13/1994. "I Only Play 4 Money" is from The Frogs EP "Starjob" and is available on ITunes, Amazon MP3 and CDBaby. www.myspace.com/thefrogs
I was at this show. I rememeber the crowd really getting on The Frogs and starting to boo them and get hostile b/c they didn't get it. I think that's why Eddie came out to help them end the set with this song. It loosesend the crowd up a bit. They put on one hell of a show after that. That's when being in the PJ fan club was amazing. I'll never forget that show. Thanks for posting this.

I was a freshman in high school when I scored 5th row seats to this show through the Pearl Jam fan club. Its capacity is 2,250. Me and my buddies took a limo to and from the show. It was my first concert and Eddie Vedder jumped on me.

@robgreene7 you are talking to somebody who likes big bands and jazz bands, look I don't doubt that he has given some powerful performances but I still don't like his voice. The way I see it you can (A) have a crap voice but be an amazing singer or (B) have an amazing voice and not be able to sing a note. (A) Vedder, (B) Bob Dylan, Hendrix, Cobain. But I suppose it's all down to personal taste

@griim13 you still didnt answer the question, i'm just curious.. i just find it weird sometimes how there can be such i huge difference in opinion by two ppl, who apparently like listening to music. i think he's the best singer of the past 20 years and by far a member of the best american band of all time... for anyone to say that he is talentless hasn't seen unplugged 92... go watch that and then tell me there's no talent. (especially Black n Porch)

@robgreene7 hahah well put it this way, not pearl jam lol music appeals to moods and emotions and on vary rare occasions just right to the point of typical perfection, it's simple. This is a good song but Eddie Vedders gurgling, convulsing and crying make me feel sick .....HONESTLY !!!! Sorry if this upsets anyone but I can't stand the man. He is a perfect example of the celebration of mediocrity that hides behind the guise of so called "talent"
