Update: So we’ve been told that Pearl Jam is a “featured artist” for Friday’s game and not actually playing. I have to admit, I apologize for misleading, as I mistaken previous halftime shows for “featured” artists.
My bad.
The Garden will be on full display Friday night as the Knicks welcome in the polarizing Kobe Bryant and the World Champion LA Lakers.
And at halftime, the crowd will be entertained, musically, by one of the greatest bands of my generation: Pearl Jam.
Now, I have to be honest and say I really like what MSG has done in terms of ditching original programming to focus more on Jim Dolan’s other passion, music.
They did a great job over the holidays playing a Frank Sinatra show at MSG then followed it with Jay-Z’s recent and most memorable effort immediately after.
And don’t get me wrong, this live stuff can be hit or miss, especially on short takes in the middle of the court. But I have a feeling, based on the fact that I’ve seen this guys some 15 times, that Pearl Jam will put down another incredible performance.
And you know Kobe will too, let’s see if these Knicks are ready to compete.
What can we say? Steph is focusing on “dominating” by running in the mountains. Can you say $10 Starbury hiking boots? The man is a marketing genius.
Finger point to Double B for a nice bounce pass from our boys at deadspin, and to Eddie Vedder for being the man…
