  • How cool would it be not only to have Neil Finn as your dad, but for him to get you a gig with Eddie Vedder?

  • Betchadupa - Neil's boy

  • love this! check out Liam Finn playin' Papa Neil's red guitar :)

  • Eddie Vedder always does fucking justice to Split Enz!!

  • @tommyau2006 Why did Eddie Vedder have to come on stage and spoil this? :)

  • @kozmo99 You're all muppets! Its purely awesome, doesnt matter if they are all on stage! The more the better, this is music remember!

  • Ed is fucking fantastic here!

  • This really good!

  • Is this on a DVD of some sort? :D

  • I found a red pearl......WHAT DOESIT MEAN??

  • I was at this concert in Auckland. Can see myself in this clip at about 1.05m in about 5th row!! We used to always talk about how much this show went OFF!!! - especially this number. Have seen Pearl Jam since but this was favorite, Eddie Vedder, moment for me and totally classic that a few years later I was watching the DVD in Melbourne and spotted myself... No-one believed me at first. I tell you no lies though. DVD is collection of best songs over the 5 nights of the show. Good times....

  • Amazing that anyone can upstage Eddie Vedder, but Tim Finn is the man.

  • This is the goin off!!!

  • Ohhhhhhhh yeah baby!!!! One of my ALL time fav's. Speed skating back in the day as a young 15 yr old whipping and cutting sick! Barrell Huggers and all... Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Lol... Great job boys.

  • love it...

  • how does this only have 30, 000 views and Beiber fag has like 200 million?

  • @Frosty073 ......marketing---!!!.....worl­d is blind...they only like what the record company's want!!...

  • always loved Eddie Veder, but he deserves to be made an honorary Kiwi for this (and History Never Repeats) - good on ya, mate!

  • fucking fantastic. So so so hope they do this when they come here in... oh shit its this month ! Fuck yea.

  • kin awesome

  • saw it on dvd bout 4 years ago loved it

  • and then Tim Finn comes out. ace.

  • I was there in St James Theatre..This song just threw me..It was brilliant. At a barbeque some 2-3 yrs later I met Neil Finn brother of Tim and had to mention my joy of this cover. Eddie played with Neils son if my memory serves me for this version. Hey Eddie has astounding pitch

  • nice version Eddie! (& the gang)

  • EDDIE ROCKS!!!!!!!!

  • Yeah, but unlike you, shouting or not, he's written lyrics that affect people and made his mark on the world. Bitter at all?

  • The world has millions of vacuous persons looking for their gurus and idols.

    That persons get affected by such charlatans says much about their idiocy and lack of intellects.

  • vedder does a nice remake of this song!!! its neil style bacck in the late 80s kiwi style you fuckin yank!!!

  • for hating vedder so much, you sure have seen this video a lot to post so much garbage here. if you don't like it don't listen to it, but don't be a douchebag because other people do not share you obviously narrow worldview. you suck so bad.

  • Going to the comments page obviates the need to watch the video. Also, the player has a pause function.

    Alas, why are you such an effeminate, busybody meddler telling others how to live or not live?

    There's no accounting for taste.

    Clearly, you're narrowly hung up on one guy, Eddie Vedder.

    Perhaps if you experienced a breadth of music, you come to hear that it's Eddie who sucks so badly.

    How you amuse.

  • opinions vary, I just don't understand your need to diss what makes others happy. if you don't like it, whatever, but don't be a prick to everyone who doesn't share your opinion.........

  • Again, what's with the effeminate meddling into the lives of others telling them how to be or not to be?

    And why did mere words trigger you into an uncontrolled rage with the need to defend your idol whom you worship?

    Oh, and you've confused the concept of being pleased or experiencing joy with the concept of happy -- accepting haps as they come (hence "happy go lucky").

    Oh how you amuse.

  • uncontrolled rage? I think it's the other way around my friend.

  • awesome

  • vedder is the man

  • Eddie Severson is the man of what?

  • This song is 30 years old ..... 3 decades long and what a great cover.

  • I've never understood what people see in Eddie Vedder, but I gotta give him credit for covering a great song from a great band that you just never hear anymore. The musicianship here isn't A+, but it's still pretty rockin' and I enjoyed the clip!

  • eddie is simply the best rock singer alive! besides a great songwriter and good musician, he is always supporting new bands and always looking forward to renew himself, hail oh great almighty Ed!

  • Split Enz > Pearl Jam.

    Split Enz had real musicians playing a cross between Oingo Boingo art rock and Squeeze pop rock.

  • You're a twat. Eddie is a fan of Split Enz, why do you think he invited the Finns on stage with PJam?

  • Sorry, bad memory, Neil invited Eddie onstage. Because Eddie is a fan.

  • Facts remain.

    Split Enz = authentic musicians.

    Pearl Jam = garage band hacks made famous by the recording industry.

    This vid proves Eddie Severson er Vedder can't sing.

    More power to you in your idol worship.

  • You're not just a twat, you're a cluelees twat. Where did I say I worshipped Eddie or Pearl Jam as my idols? I was listening to Split Enz on first release, not replay decades later.

    This vid simply proves that Eddie's voice is different to Neill's. How would Alive or Better Man sound if sung by Neill? Typical short-sighted "no cover can compare" syndrome. You have heard Jimi Hendrix play Dylan's All Along the Watchtower, right?

    As for the comparison, you clearly know zero about music.

  • You need the skank clean from out of your twat.

    Dylan sucked, much like you.

    Hendrix made everything better because Hendrix was an authentic musician.

    Dylan was a hack, yet no musician.

  • Wow, a man (well, I'll take the default position of assuming you're a man) with absolutely no sense of the ironic.

    I am *actually* impressed.

    A little less so with you choosing to give the thumbs down just 'cause the posts disagree with your version of the truth.

    Real impressed you know Eddie's actual surname. That matters how?

  • Vinegar and water works wonders. Try some.

  • In fact you are really funny...

  • I didnt realize pearljam appreciated history that much/well

  • everytime i come across a pearl jam cover of another old artist im like wow, they do it well and show so much passion and understanding of that song.

  • Split Enz were such a great great band.

    and while I'm here....

    .....R.I.P. Sandy Allen.

  • EDDIE YES!

  • Insane! I could watch this vid over and over. When Tim joins Eddie at the mic...WOW.

  • its awesome watching this since pearl jam is my fave band ever and im also from new zealand just like split endz.

  • Amazing!!

  • Classic!

  • This IS freakin' AWESOME man :-D thnx you very much for sharing Dion! peace&love,Anne

  • this song is one reason why i consider Eddie Vedder as an amazing singer.

  • holy shit, fukin awesome!!!!!

  • NZ most talented family by a mile? I love the Finn Brothers. But what about Vika and Linda Bull? The Black Sorrows were great, too, albeit ANZAC/Italian, etc. Search on the Bull sisters and the Black Sorrows.

  • come on dude thats neil's son on gt! awesomeness

  • was in yallingup last year and there was a girl playing at cave (cant remember her name) playing with vivika and linda in busselton the next day. i asked her if she was stoked and she was, but no one else seemed to give a fuck! what the hell?!? vicka and linda are so good and the black sorrows are one of the best folk groups aus/nz has ever seen.

  • NZ's most musically talented family by a mile!

  • eddie looks like bruce springsteen?
