a phrase which is used as a joke literally at any gathering of people when someone (usually an organizer of the event) confirms that everyone, who was meant to come, has come; but then some bastard says this phrase suggesting that they have to wait for Eddie Vedder. the thing that makes it funny is that there's no meaning in this phrase at all, and there's no actual connection between Pearl Jam's frontman and the fact of him being or not being at any kind of meetings.
the use of the phrase can also be expanded by saying it whenever someone mentions something in plural form – see example 2.
