Coldplay's Chris Martin curated this year's star-studded Global Citizen Festival, and he took the stage in NYC's Central Park to perform a brief surprise set with Eddie Vedder. Vedder played on New Zealand singer-songwriter Neil Finn's 2001 album 7 Worlds Collide, and he and Martin tackled another Finn project with a cover of Crowded House's "Don't Dream, It's Over," timely references to building a wall and all. They also played Pearl Jam's "Nothingman" and Patti Smith's "People Have The Power," and you can watch video of all three performances below.
