Team Coco Before Chanel

Conan O'Brien is now 5 cities into the 32-city Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour and one thing that's been made clear is that he's got a slew of surprise guests lined up for each city. Already, Seth Rogen showed up in Vancouver, Spoon played in Eugene, and Dave Matthews helped wish Conan a happy birthday during his first night in Seattle. Not to be outdone, night #2 in the Emerald City featured Eddie Vedder crashing the gig, playing a three-song set, all of which need to be relived.



Vedder opened with a solo version of Into The Wild’s “Rise” on mandolin, dedicated to Conan O'Brien's wife, who is originally from Seattle:

Vedder's next song was a version of the John Lennon classic "Oh Yoko" on electric ukulele... but with the lyrics "Oh Coco," instead. Sweetly, Vedder asked the crowd to participate as a happy birthday wish to Conan, saying that singing along to the song would be like signing the birthday card to Coco:


Finally, Pearl Jam bandmate Mike Mcready joined Vedder onstage for a kick-ass version of The Who’s “Baba O’Reily,” which simply dominated. Conan's reaction at the end of the clip summed it up pretty well:



It'll be fun to follow the rest of the tour and see who shows up to add to the fun. Needless to say, the slew of surprises so far has got to have the remaining cities geeked to find out who will show up.
