The Tuesday night (25Mar08) benefit was held at the New York home of Peter, Paul + Mary star Peter Yarrow. Vedder has long been a vocal advocate for the innocence of the men, who were convicted of the 1993 murder of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. He is auctioning off concert seats and meet-and-greet sessions on his upcoming debut solo tour to raise cash for the defence fund of the West Memphis 3.
