Flashback: Steely Dan Play 'Do It Again' on 'The Midnight Special' in 1973. More News. David Palmer was only the lead singer of Steely Dan for a few short months in late 1972 and early 1973. It was during that brief time, however, that the band cut their debut album Can't Buy a Thrill and launched their first major tour.
Petty was in Amsterdam performing with his band, The Heartbreakers, and at the end of a show on Sunday night, Vedder hopped on stage to sing The Waiting and American Girl with the veteran rocker. Vedder has covered Petty's work during his own concerts, notably the track I Won't Back Down.. The 47-year-old singer sounded perfectly effortless while singing The Waiting, which will hopefully wind up as part of Pearl Jam's cover rotation. (The band often covers tracks from Neil Young and The Who.)
