Dig It crew posts Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam rocking a cover of "1999" on Pedal Power

Posted by fossilfool

Stone Gossard has been touring with an event series called "Dig It," sponsored by Timberland and partnering with tree planting groups such as San Francisco's Friends of the Urban Forest. Rock the Bike helped bring the element of Pedal Power to his performance this past Saturday at the Regency. Initially the plan was for Stone to perform one song through our Pedal Power Stage, and the rest through the massive installed line arrays at the venue. But the band liked the experience and the sound quality so much they played their entire first set through the Pedal Powered Stage.
