Don’t ever let it be said that Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder isn’t a generous guy.

Not only did he and his band give a rowdy crowd of 12,200 at the MTS Centre exactly what they wanted Saturday, the vocalist shared a few bottles of wine with fans at various points during the show.

His willingness to pass around his wine was one of numerous highlights during a 27-song, two-and-a-half-hour set filled with standout moments.

It was Pearl Jam’s first visit to Winnipeg since 2005, and as they have done their entire 20-year career, the band didn’t stick to a script. Instead of playing the same set night after night, the group tailors each set to the city they’re playing in, so the setlist in Winnipeg is different than previous shows in any other city.

There was no way to predict what was coming next: they played whatever they wanted, which turned out to be a huge treat for fans.
