Former Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval <\/strong>channeled his inner Eddie Vedder<\/strong> during a recent concert performance on his cover band’s East of Highland Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n In September 2025, the 43-year-old Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras frontman swung from the rafters and climbed up onto stage scaffolding while performing the Pearl Jam classic \u201cEven Flow,\u201d as seen in an Instagram video<\/a> from the show.<\/p>\n On social media, commenters were more impressed by the shirtless Sandoval\u2019s arm and ab strength than his vocals.<\/p>\n \u201cI wish I would have not seen this lol No one can compare to Eddie Vedder. He wishes\u2026,” one commenter wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to see Eddie’s reaction to this \ud83d\ude04,\u201d added another<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOh lord. I speak for Eddie and the rest of us who grew up in the grunge gen – collectively- NO. JUST NO,\u201d another wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n While Sandoval\u2019s stage swinging was a clear tribute to Vedder, it wasn\u2019t quite as death-defying as the Pearl Jam rocker\u2019s wild stage antics from the 1990s. Back in the day, Vedder was known for climbing stage scaffolding,\u00a0swinging from high ceiling rafters, and stage-diving from camera cranes.<\/p>\n One of Vedder\u2019s most iconic stage moments took place during Pearl Jam\u2019s \u201cDrop in the Park\u201d concert on Sept. 20, 1992. During the free show held at Seattle\u2019s Magnuson Park, Vedder scaled the scaffolding and swung from the rafters to retrieve his microphone. An iconic photo of him hanging high above the crowd was taken by photographer Lance Mercer, per <\/a>PMA Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n Vedder, 60, talked about his wild stunts during Pearl Jam\u2019s early days in a 2020 interview on Sirius XM\u2019s Howard Stern Show<\/a>. After Stern asked the rocker if he ever worried about \u201cbeing paralyzed\u201d while performing the dangerous stunts, such as stage diving, Vedder admitted he was fearless at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were 24, 25,\u201d he said of him and his Pearl Jam bandmates. \u201cThe music was powerful. I don\u2019t think I ever did any of those crazy, evil, shenanigans except for during one song, which was called \u2018Porch.\u2019 \u00a0And the whole thing with that song was celebrating we are alive for one time. Anything could happen at any moment. The ice cream truck could hit you tomorrow. That was the whole idea of it. So much of our music is just let\u2019s live in the\u00a0moment. So that was my version of expressing the meaning of the song.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing that it really did work out pretty much every time,\u201d Vedder added.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac<\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 29, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
