Pearl Jam is only weeks away from landing on our shores to kick off a five date open-air tour of Australia, supported by Ben Harper and Liam Finn. On top of the awesome signed skate-deck that we are giving away, FasterLouder has a double pass to each of the shows up for grabs.

The tour started in the US last month, where each night Ben Harper has taken to joining Pearl Jam onstage to sing one of their classic hits. When speaking to FasterLouder Harper noted that he was humbled by Pearl Jam’s fans and “Ã¢â‚¬Â¦their willingness to hear different music from bands that open for them”.

To win the pass we want to hear in twenty-five words which Pearl Jam song you would like Ben Harper to join the band on stage for and why.

Get commenting below to win.

Ben Harper adds a slide-guitar to Eddie Vedder's solo vocals on "Daughter". Crowd of thousands in tears.

Give us an answer MABster :)

bugger that (not really, sounds like a good call actually!!!), but get that slide going over deep or garden and you'd have a cracker...!

Hahaha, just read the article.

Hmm...

Ben and Eddie trading verses and singing the chorus together on an extended, solo-laden jam on "Rockin' in the Free World".

i would love to see ben harper join eddy vedder for daughter. i'd love to see ben put his slant on the guitar solo...

it would be cool if harper joined them for off he goes
would leave an awesome vibe if they did that to end the show

Ben Harper playing guitar on a acoustic version of state of love and trust, a moment no one would forget!

polaris87 said on the 6th Nov, 2009

seeing ben and eddie perform 'alive' together would be a once in a lifetime experience

save me would be awesome

love to see pj and ben play rearviewmirror together. it's near their best and could use an extra set of lungs and extended guitar solo.

winter collide said on the 6th Nov, 2009

it would sound amazing if ben and eddie shared verses and sung harmonies in the chorus for the binaural gem 'parting ways'. it would work well for ending the set i think.if only i could go. just dont have the money sadly

they did indifference, so them doing that again would be amazing

ben harper joining the boys for a rendition of garden would be epic. one of my favourite pj songs!

clashpalace said on the 6th Nov, 2009

Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town would totally be the best song for Harper to add his vibe to. It's folkish acoustic and is all about reminiscing; a nod to Ben's previous work.

'oceans'. i think it's a beautiful, serene song and would be perfect for harper to sing alongside to add some more emotion into it.

at the heart of each of them lies the legacy of rock'n'roll. they should tear up 'spin the black circle'. rock on.

matted said on the 7th Nov, 2009

i can't believe no one has mentioned immortality. that would be the best song they could play together. ben's vocals would compliment the track perfectly.

In memory of my gal i'd have to say Eddie and Ben covering Throw Your Arms Around Me. Well Pearl Jam have covered it before...?

spintheblackcircle said on the 7th Nov, 2009

It has to be Indifference. That live recording from around 10 years ago of Eddie and Ben performing that for Triple J is simply amazing.

EliseInAus

EliseInAus said on the 7th Nov, 2009

oceans for sure. we in aus are oceans away from these guys but they still come all that way to perform for us.

vicenteveras said on the 7th Nov, 2009

the song i'd like them to perform together is jeremy. it's a classical and iconical pearl jam song that would sound great with ben harper's vibe on it.

trolloped said on the 8th Nov, 2009

i think rival would be the perfect song for eddie and ben to sing together

mat888 said on the 8th Nov, 2009

i think rockin' the free world would be a good song, its powerful and climatic, a great song!!

They should do 'Even Flow' together, i would be intrigued to see Ben's vocals on this song.

shorey666 said on the 8th Nov, 2009

nothingman... it would only be right for the song to be a slower ballad and the chorus always sounds better as a duet.

jbchimpy said on the 8th Nov, 2009

it would have to be do the evolution, eddie's wailing over the top of ben's slide guitar and gospel tinges would be awesome-o!

Jeremy. I'm on the verge of going postal with all the ranga comments so what better song to hear?

bunch of racists in this country hey Fool *nod*

trumpets said on the 8th Nov, 2009

“hard sun” from “into the wild”- eddie’s huskiness perfectly blended with ben’s soulfully rich tones, ben’s bluesy slide-guitar complementing eddie’s chords…pearl of a jam!!

michael chahine

michael chahine said on the 8th Nov, 2009

he should join eddie vedder to complete the duet for "hunger strike". he is one of few who can possibly fill chris cornell's massive shoes.

PJ did a 41 song set in Philly last week. i'm hoping for something similar down here as they are doing one night only in each city and tickets cos over $120. but then again an intense 25 song set would be just as awesome.

SianAlexandra

SianAlexandra said on the 9th Nov, 2009

i think he should do an oldie, jeremy; it's soulful depth would suit harpers voice perfectly to suit vedders. also my all time fave!!

spintheblackcircle

spintheblackcircle said on the 9th Nov, 2009

When i saw them in LA in September, Ben joined them on stage for Red Mosquito and it was absolutely awesome. So something different would be good this time. Corduroy would be very nice.

melan1 said on the 9th Nov, 2009

It's already been suggested, so I guess I'm out of the running - but for me, it would be a spiritual peak to hear them do Black together. *shivers*

In 2001 they did indifference acoustically... i would love to see that magic again... hauntingly beautiful, will stay with me forever

knate

knate said on the 9th Nov, 2009

I was at that gig, north sydney. one of the greatest tracks i've ever seen live, it was beyond amazing... eddies banter about 'boy george' before it was killer. i have that recording and still listen to it all the time

totally_claire_6

totally_claire_6 said on the 9th Nov, 2009

even flow. vedder’s deliciously grungy howl alongside harper’s outrageous slide guitar riffing would explode into a magical musical masterpiece. your eardrums will thank you later.

Lucan

Lucan said on the 12th Nov, 2009

add liam finn to the mix, and have them perform thumbing my way.

the three-part harmonies would be sweet.
