Pearl Jam had a little surprise for fans at their September 5 show in Chicago: A cover of a Cheap Trick classic.
The band closed their 24-song set at the United Center with a rousing performance of "Surrender." The track is from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band's 1978 studio album Heaven Tonight. Cheap Trick, of course, was founded in Rockford, Ill., which is about 90 miles northwest of Chicago.
There's certainly a unique buoyancy to the fan-shot video below, especially during the chorus.
Pearl Jam is currently on a mini-U.S. tour that ends later this month. Below is a list of the remaining show dates.

Eddie Vedder – His 28 Best Songs, Outside Of Pearl Jam
Eddie Vedder hasn't been as prolific with side-projects as his Pearl Jam bandmates: Stone Gossard used to have a band called Brad (R.I.P. Shawn Smith) and currently is a band called Painted Shield; he's also done solo records. Jeff Ament has been part of Three Fish, Tres Mtns. and RNDM, and has put out a bunch of solo songs. Matt Cameron's discography includes a number of projects including Hater, Wellwater Conspiracy, Harrybu McCage and Ten Commandos. Mike McCready, meanwhile, has been a member of Mad Season and the Rockfords.
Vedder, meanwhile, has just three solo albums to his name, so far: but it turns out that he has a pretty impressive discography outside of the band. He's frequently contributed songs to various artist compilations, done one-off singles, and collaborated with other artists. Here are some of our favorite Vedder moments outside of Pearl Jam.
