My Morning Jacket live with Eddie Vedder -cover The Who 2of2

[Alem4k]

Such an amazing cover of a Who song that not everyone is familiar with. Thank you for sharing. I haven't been able to stop replaying it since stumbling upon this a couple of days ago.

[tomofreebird]

Great tribute. You can see they all love The Who and this song :) Its so energic...

[MultiJam10]

thats my favorite who tune of all and they did a great job on it. That was fucking awesome.

[kraken589]

typically i hate it when my favorite bands get covered but i have to say this was really good. the who's version is still better of course but this is possibly the best cover of the who i've ever seen

[TheSuperChronic]

Fucking Incredible....not much else to say

[dfndnola]

Jim James and Eddie Vedder on stage singing at the same time is illegal in 9 countries it's so awesome....

[ajgree6]

Hey Vedder...what was it like never being young?

[TheGawryolek]

both Yim Yames and Eddie Vedder voices are amazing! love both Pearl Jam and MMJ

[twinoak170]

Wow, that gave me the chills.

[bigchief70]

My Morning Jacket and Pearl Jam should definitely do more shows together.

[wendywolfman]

I wonder if any of the crowd know what song this is

[PJRock75]

@wendywolfman well, I did cause I was there on th front rail...and I saw it last night at Terminal 5....LONG LIVE MMJ!!

[UncleAndy13]

AH-FREAKIN-MAZING!!!! That was incredibly bold to take that song on...... and kick it's butt. KUDOS!!!

[Skimmary]

fuck, 3 of my favorites artists :d

[bigchief70]

This is amazing.

[and1234z]

one person has disliked this.

who would be dumb enough to hate this??

[btindian24]

@donosborn thank you

[mcboltron]

eddy's really beating the shit out of those tamborines isn't he?

[andrewtolley]

Would hate to think My Morning Jacket will go down as a "Who" , "Eddie Vedder" cover band..just my opinion. (it was very good!)

[donosborn]

@Uprrcb1980 I believe it is an extra on the Pearl Jam DVD Imagine in Cornice. cheers.

[havepie]

Huge fan of the who right here, this is the best cover of this song i've ever heard, its like listening to a metal version of this song at leeds, great song, a good band, thats where it all goes.

[LUVstufflikepandas45]

Eddie Vedder:

Tambourine murder and the best fucking singer in the world.

[Badmotorfinger112]

i laughed ;D but damn right

[lurchpappy]

@LUVstufflikepandas45 Doing a cover is one thing but must he rip off Townshend's stage persona as well? And be careful with that "best" word, opinion is not assessable.

[bibox8]

that was one badass performance!! go Eddie!

[basha07]

Cheers man this fuggin rocks!

[ETERNALMUSICLOVAH]

Best collaboration ever

[Paralung]

i wouldn't like to be a tambourine in vedder's hands.

this stuff kicks ass

[fritopendejo09]

*****

[lockergr]

The hair in the face must be his thing. He's done it in all the vids I've seen thus far. Maybe the crowd looks more attractive that way or maybe it's vocal secret. lol

[sbdonsy]

Almost as good as the rolling stones circus when the who played this fuckn brilliant, mmj is just rockn have their double live cd okonokos, raw

[allanosterm]

Yes. Rock and Roll Circus. I actually like Eddie's singing better than Roger. But I miss Keith Moon. The drummer does stand up, just like he did.

[BrasilNYC2007]

One thing I need to know.....when you wear your morning jacket would it be appropriate to listen to My Morning Song by Black Crowes?

[lamps75]

Absolute class, that's all I can say!!

[onesea99]

The amount of power and emotion Jim James and Eddie Vedder put in their vocals covering one of the greatest rock bands of all time is more than any of us deserve. It is truly a privelage to watch this. Thanks for posting this.

[parnando]

If this doesn't make you want to be a rock star nothing would.

[Tauvy]

Amen.

[83cd]

Is Eddie single-handedly keeping the tambourine business afloat? i just watched 2 vids of him singin with Kings of Leon and he broke the tambourines there

This cover is fuckin brilliant btw

[PortugalTheAccount]

I was just thinking that.

Haha.

like those exact words!

[peachesfreak]

excellent vers of excellent who song

[danny27kurt]

1:02 to 1:06 it kinda looks like eddie is one of those priest who are very religious

[danny27kurt]

this is an awsome cover,but eddie kinda forgets the lyrics and forgets what goes next in the song

[DZMOR]

Best Cover I have ever heard of any Who song. I wish all of MMJs performances had this much energy, they pulled it off great. Some people criticize the back up vocals but i think they sounded fine. Eddie breaking those tambourines was pretty awesome too, he was really smashing them out there. A classic performance in today's age is hard to come by this was great.

[donosborn]

Glad you liked it. I would argue that many of MMJ's performances are as good as this. If you get a chance rent the Okonokos DVD. It is a very well done concert DVD by the band and man, it blows me away.

[DZMOR]

dont get me wrong i love MMJ, one my favorite bands of all time. I just really liked what i saw. I want to see them playing and smashing their instruments as hard as they can every song, eddie vedder too, lol. BTW this my favorite WHO song. Thanks again for posting

[JJPoytress]

@DZMOR This is is good, but you've gotta hear Pearl Jam covering Love Reign O'er Me at the Rock Honors the Who, Eddie's voice is out of this world in that.

[msteinkohl]

@DZMOR How can you say MMJ's peformances don't have this much energy? I believe that they put on one of the most electrifying performances. Jim James has as good of a stage presence has any front man in music. The band gives it all they got.

[Stinkbug74]

@DZMOR I agree, I was blown away by this one. Used to have the album this song was on & really miss it. Outstanding job PJ. I don't think anyone can do a be cover of this one..

[sn4ke0i1]

eddie vedder is the greatest man to ever exist!

[9375141]

where is this? Van Andel?

[andyk10012]

eddie completely destroyed the tamborines, LIKE THE BACKUP VOCALS RUINED THE SONG, THEY ALL HAD WIERD ACCENTS IN THE SONG :(

[cungar]

Anyone smashing two tamborines together would destroy them. Their practically paper. That's not the way it's supposed to be played. He was copying Daltrey.

[andyk10012]

i just thought it was funny that he did that

[carramrod72]

Holy Shit. This is my favortite song ever. I did not know this version existed.

[slappymoe4u]

it's from pj's "immagine in cornice" dvd. mmj opened for pearl jam for much of their last tour. alas, they did NOT open for pj at the show i saw in cincy.

only complaint: as big a Who fan as eddie is, surely he knows the lyrics better than this.

other than that, a blistering rendition of the old who classic. i love it when these youngsters pay homage to their heroes by covering their songs. keeping the who's music alive and relevant into the new millenium.

[theartofit]

incredible is this in okonos?

[donosborn]

no, it is from a Pearl Jam concert dvd I think.

[Nevermind900426]

@donosborn really? any idea the name of it?

[donosborn]

@Nevermind900426 the name of what?

[Nevermind900426]

@donosborn the DVD but I got it cheers

[jerinhom]

AMASIIIIIIIIIING!!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!! I don't know how to post it and wanted everyone to hear this amasing cover

[ydor]

Vedder is playing with the wrong band.These dudes rock.Nice job all around kudos to MMJ and Eddie on a killer version.. well done boys !

[Silverchairfan1]

I love eddies voice it really gets better with age I do believe

[drvrlvr]

no tamborine shall survive in the hands of EV.

that rocked

[sliplip]

totally agree djm!When they had Johnny Quaid they were unfuckingstoppable

[djm275]

MMJ not as good as they were 4-5 years ago.

[spartacus9999]

Ok ... Eddie Has a lilting longing poetical quality that Pete Townsend could not achieve...But NOBODY in the history of Rock music could match the combination of hi energy and harmony that the WHO cranked out....

On a scale of one to Ten I give this version an eight...very good....I give the Whos performance of this song at the Rock and Roll circus at about a Twenty....beyond perfect.

Long live the WHO...the greatest live band of all time.

[santy300]

i like this cover....but the who did a much better vocal work..... specially john and pete.... i think the guitar in this version is not as strong and powerful as pete played it.... the bass will never be as good as john's and the drums does not have this huge sound that it had with keith.... besides, the who were a very visual band,and PJ does not seem to be as appealing as the who (i'm guessing, im not a PJ fan).... anyway, they played it fairly well.....

[miragy]

you do know this is not Pearl jam right. Just checking.

[santy300]

hahaha....i speak spanish ¿¿you know?? and although i do speak english fairly well i do not understasnd what you mean...¿could you repeat it, in other words? hahaha sorry!!!

[Elbereth84]

It's My Morning Jacket with Eddie Vedder (from Pearl Jam). But it's not Pearl Jam on stage. ;)

[santy300]

OH!!!! I thought MMJ was a TV programme or the name of a rock festival, or smth like that!!!! hahahaha i didnt know it was a band, and since im not a PJ fan, i didnt realised that wasnt PJ...... thanks for the fact!!!! hahaha.........

[hermosamuerte]

about the comment did by bigtime1998, that's pretty obious, you can't compare someone in his 60 with someone else y his 40 to make a rock song of this magnitude....EXELENT COVER

[conmc21]

MMJ covered this at bonaroo 06 . best cover of a who song ever!! Jim james is amazing

[Bigtime1998]

They did a lot better version of this song than The Who could do today!!

[Qausmalak]

hey man, its obvious that you should compare this version with The Who when they were young, not now!

[drvrlvr]

i think it's awesome

[germurph51]

The Kids Are Alright! Especially that fat drummer!

[weedywet]

Might have been nice if Eddie Vedder had at least appeared to know the words.

Or if he seemed familiar at all with the album version, (instead of doing the cover of the Live AT Leeds version).

The band did a GREAT job though.

[Dedbetter]

The Who never played this song the same way twice anyway.  They always added or subtracted different stuff. Also let's be fair, this isn't an easy cover to pull off and I think MMJ and Vedder did a pretty damn good job.

[santy300]

i dont think this song is hard to play.... there are harder who songs.... this one is relatively easy

[jptrol]

that version is better anyway.

[weedywet]

I don't think Roger ever did a "version" in which he didn't know the first verse.

[njgoodhue]

One of my favorite songs. Agree with an earlier poster that nothing beats R&R circus version by the Who - they were unhinged there. Great close approximation, here, though...

[matheuscanada]

The best of Imaginne in Cornice is right here!!

This is just too much!

[loveboatcapt7]

That is a hell of song to perform live...without much practice together either probably. Harmonies are great and the energy is fantastic. And yes, Ivor lives down the lane from me.

[kc7fys]

The vocal breakdown at the end is pretty GD spot-on, man. Nothing beats the orig. Rock and Roll Circus live version, and this drummer can't quite summon up the fill-acious Moon groove, but this is pretty damn close. Suffice it to say, if I had been at that show, I probably would have needed a fresh pair of Huggies after this tune.
