Pearl Jam Announces Tour, Performs on Saturday Night Live

The musical guest on this weekend's Saturday Night Live was Pearl Jam! The band, who just last week announced a May tour (see stops here), performed "Just Breathe" and "Unthought Known" from Backspacer. And they also appeared in a funny Twilight Zone sketch. Click the video screens below to view the great performances -- compliments of NBC.
