On Saturday night, fans at Lollapalooza Brazil were treated to a memorable headlining set from Pearl Jam. In addition to two-plus hours of the band’s extensive catalog of originals, the band had a couple surprises up their sleeves in the form of two ultra-rare covers.

Midway through their set, Eddie Vedder welcomed Lollapalooza founder/former Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell onstage to have the crowd sing him a happy birthday. Following the sing-along, Farrell remained onstage for a rendition of Jane’s Addiction’s “Mountain Song”, marking just the second time Pearl Jam had played the song live and the first since Austin City Limits 2009, when they were also joined by Farrell. Watch the “Happy Birthday”/”Mountain Song” segment with Perry Farrell below:

Two songs later, Vedder took a brief solo interlude, in which he played a wistful re-imagining of the first verse and chorus of Talking Heads‘ “Pulled Up” before sliding into “Unknown Thought”. This marked just the second recorded time the song has appeared at a Pearl Jam show, and the first since their set at Pinkpop Festival in 1992. You can watch Vedder’s “Pulled Up” [at 54:28] in the full-show video below.
