This day in music history.

June 24, 1995, Suffering from the flu Eddie Vedder leaves the stage after only 6 songs. Neil Young is asked to fill in for Pearl Jam. Young had planned to perform as a guest at the show. He played for 1.5 hours, mixing classics with songs from the not yet released Mirror Ball album. The crowd behaves poorly with more then half the audience walking out when Neil takes the stage. From then on whenever Vedder "Had the flu" Pearl Jam would replace him with Elmer Fudd.
