We can’t tell you the exact context for this performance, but, it isn’t that hard to trace Portlandia’s recent appearance from Eddie Vedder to this surprisingly sincere cover of Pearl Jam’s “Black,” only breaking character to urge her audience to “keep fucking singing!” Check out the clip below and we’ll update it if some better video comes in. The audio on this is pretty solid, though.
