How worlds collide. Recently, Bruno Mars performed at a private party <\/a>thrown by investment company Eldridge Industries, held at New York\u2019s Capitol Theatre. Mars was just one of several big-name artists who took the stage, as the lineup included Eddie Vedder, Anthony Kiedis, Brandi Carlile, and Yungblud.<\/p>\n

Mars\u2019 set featured covers of rock classics, like Led Zeppelin\u2019s \u201cWhole Lotta Love\u201d and Jimi Hendrix\u2019s \u201cFire\u201d. Additionally, he covered Nirvana\u2019s \u201cSmells Like Teen Spirit\u201d, Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cDirty Diana\u201d, and The Police\u2019s \u201cRoxanne\u201d, according to reports on social media.<\/a><\/p>\n

Slash and Duff McKagan of Guns N\u2019 Roses and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers, along with multi-hyphenate Andrew Watt, performed under the name The Dirty Bats. They stuck around as the core lineup, with several vocalists joining them on stage. Mars was the penultimate act of the night, with everyone coming together for three songs to close the show.<\/p>\n

Dressed in baggy jeans with a loose white belt, a leather jacket, and Vans, Bruno Mars painted a quintessential portrait of the 80s skater punk. Embellished with sunglasses and a backwards ball cap, there\u2019s no doubt he stirred up sartorial envy across social media. <\/p>\n

According to a Twitter post of the setlist for the night<\/a>, Yungblud opened the show with covers of \u201cStart Me Up\u201d by the Rolling Stones and \u201cWar Pigs\u201d by Black Sabbath. A fitting choice, as the rising rock star has been paying tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne frequently this year. Brandi Carlile performed three songs, including \u201cBlack Dog\u201d by Led Zeppelin, \u201cTie Your Mother Down\u201d by Queen, and her own \u201cThe Story\u201d.<\/p>\n

Anthony Kiedis and Eddie Vedder had the longest setlists in addition to Mars, taking the stage one right after the other. They each played five songs, including \u201cAce of Spades\u201d, \u201cSearch and Destroy\u201d, and \u201cWhipping Post\u201d for Kiedis. Vedder, meanwhile, performed more of his own Pearl Jam tunes such as \u201cWishlist\u201d, \u201cCorduroy\u201d, and \u201cBetter Man\u201d. But he allegedly turned \u201cWishlist\u201d into a medley with \u201cWaiting on a Friend\u201d by the Rolling Stones.<\/p>\n

Bruno Mars came on after Vedder, and then the night closed with a rousing performance from everyone. \u201cJohnny B. Good\u201d and \u201cRocking in the Free World\u201d served as the finale of what sounds like a cool mix of artists. <\/p>\n
