  • Great cover, Eddie always has his heart in his vocal cords!

  • he did a great job...one of the few bands of the last 20 years that I stil like.... playing the best band ever's song.....nicely done...

  • Wow.. Can someone please tell me where this is

  • @cathrasher1974

    Jimmy Fallon show, late night.

    Freaking masterpiece.

  • Never was a pearl jam fan, still aren`t. But I always like a good cover and they did a excellant job. Eddie puts alot of heart and soul into it, he`s letting his emotions run out. Even so it`s a cover song and not one of his own he`s still treating it as if it were his and that`s a rarity. It also goes to show the song carries meaning to him.

  • Roger Waters is better .

  • @victorhbji No shit, he wasn't trying to outdo him, LOL.

  • Rio de Janeiro, 6/11 First time this song was played live! I WAS THERE!

  • eddie looks like qui gon jin.

  • fucking masterpiece

    

  • Please post the rest of the songs from this show! Don't hold out on us bro!

  • @bighorn2004 If I recall correctly, they only played this song that night, I know they've played "Ole" and maybe two other songs at most on Late NIght with Jimmy Fallon.

  • Would love to Eddie tour with Gilmour. DG's voice aint so hot these days and eddie has a lovely feel for these songs

  • @johnnahodil deberías intentar escribir bien, antes que nada...no te parece?

  • Thank you Eddie Vedder, and naturally Pearl Jam. Thank you for singing this song, thank you for all your songs, thank you for introduce me to rock, thank you for changing my life in a way I want to live, thank you for let me see, think and understand that nobody understands life and not that mommy doesn't want me to fly but she is so affraid that I might crash. I'm gonna fly away by myself if she won't let me and I'm gonna come back and show her that I am ok and how it is to really fly.

  • We deserve to see this here in Costa Rica next Sunday Nov. 20th, \m/oo\m/

  • So fuckin' amazing.....

    Don't know any other singer who's got more energy and feeling than eddie vedder. Still an inspiration for my music

    dont get me wrong, pearl jam is awsome but, pink floyd is mother...

    pearl jam just payed them to record it... ;)>

  • pink floyd "wish you were here" has 53,000,000 veiws...

  • is he reading the lyrics...on the parts when he moves the microphone and looks to the floor? it looks like that :D

    but still PJ the greatest

  • The first time they played this song for the crowd was in Rio de Janeiro and I was there!!!! :D

  • Most excellent

  • I cried like a baby!!! i know they played this song for the 5th time in Argentina a few days ago, I´m going to Costa Rica to see them this weekend...Im praying for them to play this again.... FINGERS CROSS

  • 3:37 look at that sparkle in his eyes... <3

  • This cover is powerful and full of love! Together we stand ,divided we fall my friends! ( see the eyes of eddie ....where are they? who are looking? woooh its only rock and roll !!!)

  • Delícia!

  • Holy fuck. IDK how I got here, but my life just got better.

  • They played it in Rio last weekend. It was epic.

  • When I hear this song I remember my mother with love (and I cry).

  • The great song, for me Pink Floyd is the number one and Pearl Jam second,,,,

    imagine the world without these two bands?

  • Hell Yeah!

  • could someone what kind of shirt Eddie's wearing? it looks badass

  • What's really cool is that this song uses the same chords (apart from F) as Elderly Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town.

  • Amazing how well they can carry someone else's song, particularly anything by 'The Who'.

  • Great version of an already great song.

  • Does anyone know if there is an mp3 version of this anywhere? I can't seem to find one but would love to get it if there is on out there somewhere...

  • Actually heard this for the first time this morning on the local radio station believe it or not! Outstanding song and a perfect rendition by Pearl Jam. Love it.

  • @EventHorizon63 So how does it feel to finally come out from under that rock after 30 sum yrs

  • @roxydog2004 I've been listening to PJ since they came out so not sure what you mean. My comment was in regards to this song not PJ.

  • @EventHorizon63 Yeah I got you, the song MOTHER came out in 79 on the album THE WALL about 30 sum yrs ago, that was my point ,so no offense keep Pearl Jammin on with Eddie the Vedderman

  • I think they covered that well. Love Eddie singing those lyrics. Really moving.

  • love it, i cried having lost my mother only 3 months ago. thanks to the pearl jam guys for this. MAGNIFICO

  • Holly crap, mi respect for eddie vedder have jumped miles from ground

  • Cover muito MASSA... sério.

  • Qualquer canção fica maravilhosa na voz desse cara fdp =D

    Eu amo Vedder XD

  • Eddie's voice TOTALLY adds an extra dimension to this song! Excellent rendition!

  • Fenomenal muitos parabéns!!!!!

  • Love this song..both versions..PF and EV.. ♥ ♥ only he, with his amazing voice can sing this song!!

  • One of my favourite bands ever, performing my favoruite Pink Floyd track. What else could I ask for?

  • ver o pearl jam tocar pink floyd e muito bom..!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Man eddie is not what he used to be but still one of the best.

  • @idcwhatmynameis100 ... O.o the funny thing is that eddie is actually a better vocalist now than he ever was. tone(which is now just amazing), pitch, range.... strange comment really.

  • @odeamusic idk i dont feel the energy like in the 90s I feel like im hearing a tiered man. That's all.

  • @idcwhatmynameis100 I can see where you are coming from on this cover.... but really this is an amazing job here... showing a huge depth of emotion in that low end vocal range... which is SUPER low. lol. so yeah i can see what you are saying... it couldn't be more different from early 90s pearl jam... its really chill and not full of rage... so.. ya.. thats my take.

  • @odeamusic Thank you for actually being a pilot person and not rageing. That is all.

  • @idcwhatmynameis100 do you really think the song needs that energy? personally him going all out like in the early days would not fit for this song. This song requires a reserve that he nails in this cover. I really like the more mellow approach hes been doing, especially on the song THE END. its got a tragic beauty to it.

  • 7 dislikes?

  • sweet stuff man

  • yep yep , wow and class of course

  • cool!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i can see how people could of been haters of pearl jam in the early years dispite there clear brilliance because it was new and the grunge era but they have proven to be an enduringly amazing band that speaks to the heart and soul of every human being that exsists. imagine being this band, this man, knowing what you have accomplished and contributed to the souls of people in this world!? FUCKING BRILLIANT!

  • @keef78 i understand you feel emotional about this performance and it is a wonderful one at that but, eddie/prink floyd speaking out to every heart and soul is a bit overrated.

    maybe you should go and smoke anoter fatty and listen to alive...ooooooh iiii ohhhh iiiii i'm still alive oooooh iiiiiii. oh are you still alive she said....

    lol

  • My favorite band ever covering my #2 favorite band ever!

    These 5:23 minutes are almost sacred, divine for me!

  • eddie has the greatest voice ever! even though he is getting old he definitely sounds perfect!

  • @marthax25 He's aging clasicly...like Roger Waters.God what a gift we have to be able to hear these icons!

  • The most amazing part of this cover is the fact that it is live and not a studio version. They still sound great live!

  • @bamadan72

    Man.. this is Eddie, Pearl Jam... some of the finest in music that came out in the last 30 years. It ain't my chemical romance or Daddy Yankee. This goes out to all of those that criticize the Grunge movement, Eddie, Dave Grohl, Maynard J. Keenan, and many others are the best and most talented musicians around nowadays. Period.

  • excellent cover!!! Pearl Jam very rarely disappoints! Thanks 4 the upload!

  • curriculum x el culo!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • killer

    long live eddie vedder, he has one of the most wonderful voices.

    just keep it coming eddie....not that i know him personally

  • lordy that is a spectacular cover - cheers to my west seattle boy ed

  • Another cover that Pearl Jam mastered. :)

  • I think this was a great cover of Mother.

  • They keep gettng better.

    

  • Foda demais.. Eddie incomparável. Verdadeiro Mito. Excelente cover.

  • My God Vedders voice is fucked..too many ciggies.. Not a patch on Pink Floyd..

  • I M P E C A B L E. que mas se puede decir de Pearl Jam?. Y pensar que en Noviembre los tenemos acá en La Plata (Argentina), espectacularrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • My favorite Pink Floyd song...but this cover isn't doing it for me. No one makes it hurt quite like Roger. Don't get me wrong, I like Pearl Jam, and Eddie's voice is gorgeous, but...this song requires a certain level of personal attachment and pain to work. This cover just seems super-reverent; Eddie sounds like he's singing a grunge holy text, not an indictment and cry for help.

  • @a92lovin i love the pink floyd version better, but you have to appreciate vedders version, he made it in his style, and you have to respect that cause if it sounded the same, then what would be the point

  • @davidjames66 I don't really want it to sound the same. But this song is about a long-born pain. That's something Eddie has, and one listen-through of "Alive" is enough to hear that. It just isn't coming through, here, though; it's almost like he's having too much fun, or just feels like he's singing something that changed his life for the better. I'm not saying that can't be true; I know The Wall changed me for the better. But...I still need that emotion present in the song. To each his own.

  • All I have to say it doesn't get Eddie Vedder ! PJ and Eddie re the BEST.

  • If you disliked this video, go ahead and run into the backyard with a high calibre weapon, and fucking end it

  • Muito bom!!! Não me canso de ouvir! A voz de Eddie só engrandece a música!

  • This song always makes me tear up... Vedder's voice just adds a whole new level to it.

    

  • alucinando.

  • Fantástico

  • nice cover i love eddie voice

  • amazing......

  • outstanding

  • du fuck this song, thanks pearl jam.bay luciano

  • love eddie, love floyd

  • the people who disliked this song dont know good music when they here it

  • 06/26/66

    i want eddie to have my baby

  • the guitar solo is ridicolous

  • Comment removed

  • bring Pearl Jam to South Africa!!!

  • Simply amazing...

  • I really think Vedder has a better voice (at least for this song) than Waters. Now come on haters, I'll handle you

  • @j0r6391 I think you're right, but a lot of Pink Floyd lovers know Roger Waters hasn't the best voice in the world. It's his creative genius we admire. So, no issue with your comment.

  • @cjhayes3012 I could never dare to question the musical genius he was, I was just thinking Vedder has a better voice. :)

  • @j0r6391 And you'd be right. Cheers (new user name - was cjhayes3012)

  • @j0r6391 Are you fucking stupid?

  • @purelydelusional Actually, it seems to me that you are the fucking stupid, I mean, it's just MY opinion, why do you even care?

  • @j0r6391 <3

  • @j0r6391 You're right. I'm 'the' fucking stupid.

  • @j0r6391 i think its too soft and soothing for the waters part, waters i think personally had more em[otion and hurt and thats what it was about

  • @drummermoon Vedder sounds pretty emotional as well, he could be screaming in a "Evenflow" way, but I think he nails this pretty well, not that I have anything against Waters, I think both are brilliant

  • @j0r6391 two each his own i guess

  • He has the most beautiful voice. God.

  • buen tributo, buena version, buena banda, buen tema, bueno, me voy...

  • that drum set sounds fantastic.

  • Eddie screws up lyrics all the time! Even the lyrics to his own songs. I was at a concert where they stopped in the middle of a song and started over b/c he screwed up. It's one of the reasons we love him, he is not perfect and does not pretend to be.

  • @marrdw He is not perfect, but he has a perfect voice.

  • Eddie is the legal follower of John Lennon and the PJ Version is better than the original

  • Anybody who hates Pearl Jam is truly the offspring of Satan and everything else in the world that should be flushed down the toilet.

  • Comment removed

  • this is like a religious experience

  • i like the way all you dip shits are tryin to justify eddie fuckin up the lyrics. the band did'nt fuck up the music. i dont give a shit who you are, if your the singer do your job. its Pink Floyd for god sake. unexceptable.

  • How can you not love Eddie's voice! I have only watched this about 20 times.

  • PJ is the greatest band of all time and EV is the greatest front man of all time! That being said, Michael Jordan did not hit every game winning jump shot he took for the Bulls, on occasion he missed! EV missed here! I think hell just froze over for me saying that but, my defense is, for a good portion of the song, I thought PJ brought Christian "The Dark Knight" Bale to sing the song!

  • "mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?"....5 haters just did

  • go ahead and hate on Pearl Jam, its really hip. We might even go so far as to call you a hipster for hating Pearl Jam, thats how hip you'd be.

  • @1:24 ooof scary vampire nail Eddie. \m/

    

  • Love this.

  • one of the best covers of all time!

    

  • Anyone who has issue with this band, the singing or the man doing the singing.... Fuck off already! Why are you bothering to comment? Most certainly, you're not even listening to the music... Fuck off and ruin someone elses day with your negativity.

  • I... I.... oh, fuck it.... :-/

  • I slightly like this cover :|

  • I really like this cover :)

  • i dont like this cover :(

  • Mi segunda banda favorita, haciendo un cover de mi banda favorita, puedo morir en paz :D

  • Pearl Jam is probably one of the only bands I think that could pull this off successfully.

  • floyd and pj shoudl play together, like PJ did w/ the doors....pink jam or pearl floyd :D

  • They made it there own like any good artist doing a TRIBUTE should. Vedder seems to want to try different things with his voice these days. I would describe this as a 'folksy, woodsy, fractured sound', and i love it. Very warm.

  • Wow what a great cover!! That was magical! although Eddie could sing the alphabet and i would probably buy it on itunes :)

  • Very nice. Gets better with repeated listens. In all honesty, i couldn't tell how many lyrics he messed up because I forgot them myself. He did good enough though. Nice cover.

  • Great performance. So he wasn't 100% on the lyrics, big deal, they didn't screw it up in my view. And like Eddie said at one of thier oz shows after stuffing up big time: "at least you know we're not lip syncing".

  • @BGWaugh Seriously, cmon people it's "LIVE" and he's human. I would love to see the people complaining about the lyrics try and sing this song live...Great Job PJ

  • @AdamCito2010 I said it was a great performance. PJ are my fave band so it would take something BIG for me to bag them. All I was saying was that the lyrics weren't sung as they were written to the letter, and to me (unlike others) that's not an issue. Eddie's forgotten lyrics, or messed up his timing plenty of times, but he knows how to pick things back up and keep going, and then joke about it.

  • @BGWaugh I apologize to you.
