PEARL JAM Dedicate Song To Late VOIVOD Guitarist

September 16, 2005

PEARL JAM dedicated the song "Porch" at their Montreal gig on Thursday (September 15) to late VOIVOD guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, who died Aug. 26 from complications of colon cancer. The track was introduced by PEARL JAM frontman Eddie Vedder, who pointed out that PEARL JAM drummer Matt Cameron (ex-SOUNDGARDEN) knew Piggy personally because SOUNDGARDEN had toured with VOIVOD in 1990. As PEARL JAM were leaving the stage at last night's concert, which took place at Bell Centre, PEARL JAM guitarist Mike McCready shouted into the mic, "To Piggy!"
