Pearl Jam New Orleans Jazz Fest show beamed to Iraq

Saturday's Pearl Jam New Orleans Jazz Fest concert had a special audience: the U.S. military's 256th Infantry Division from Louisiana, who got to watch the band's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival set online from Iraq.

The Pearl Jam New Orleans Jazz Fest show was short by the band's standards -- only about an hour and a half -- but it featured a good mix of hits ("Even Flow," "Better Man"), new songs ("Unthought Known," "Got Some") and cover songs (The Byrds' "So You Want to Be a Rock 'N Roll Star" and MC5's "Kick Out the Jams.")

Here's the full set list from the Pearl Jam New Orleans Jazz Fest concert, according to Two Feet Thick:
