Eddie Vedder's 'Before Sunrise' experience - reunites with the Dutch lady 27 years later
Share
Eddie Vedder met a Dutch woman Valeska Custers in 1993, while performing a show with Pearl Jam in Utrecht. They met up at a cafe following the concert and talked until 3am, at which point she drove Vedder back to his hotel on her brother’s bicycle. He kept her backpack, she got married and had children. This past weekend while performing in Amsterdam, Vedder paused the gig to reflect on the memorable evening and ask if Custers happened to be in the crowd. She wasn't, but he found an interview with Custers in papers Het Parool and invited her and her husband to his show in Brussels. Following the concert, Custers went backstage and reunited with her old friend, who instantly recognized her.
