Seattle Mariners, Pearl Jam Guitarist Mike McCready Performs National Anthem At Seattle Mariners’ Home Opener

McCready is no stranger to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” having performed the song multiple times before both Mariners and Seahawks game. Here’s a look at the Hendrix-esque version he laid down on Thursday at the newly-renamed ballpark thanks to video shot

Seattles fans greeted McCready with applause at the recently renamed T-Mobile Park (formerly Safeco Field), as the founding Pearl Jam guitar ripped up an electric rendition of the national anthem on a sunburst Fender Stratocaster. The Seattle Mariners went on to defeat the defending World Champion Boston Red Sox 12-4.

Pearl Jam currently has no scheduled tour dates, but fans can keep an eye on their website for upcoming news and announcements.
