song hours before you posted this - but only because I'd been posting a bit about Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam after he spoke out against Trump.
I'd checked There Goes Gravity, the book written by rock journalist Lisa Robinson about her career and friendships since the 1970s and many of the musicians she'd met and knew well. I couldn't remember anything she'd written about Vedder and his band, but my memory isn't perfect. So I checked the index of her book, as I had months ago for anything she might've mentioned about Mick Taylor (no luck; she knew the Stones well, but not before 1975).
Anyway, she had just one mention of Eddie Vedder, saying that when Iggy sang "I Wanna Be Your Dog" at the Rock Hall of Fame in 2010, she and Eddie Vedder "were jumping up and down and singing along" (p. 119). They were backstage, and she talked to Iggy, whom she'd known since the 1970s, later.
There's Rock HoF video on YouTube of Iggy performing that song, and Eddie Vedder did finally join him onstage during the song.
Lisa didn't join them onstage. But she was there, chatted with Iggy later, thanked him for reminding her why she got "into this racket in the first place." Here's a photo of her with Iggy that evening.

Iggy was/is wild. Though no wilder than Eddie could be:
