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....
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.
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
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.
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").
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!
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.
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.
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.
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?

This guy Eddie "Vedder" has no voice. He's flat. Nothing but a shouter pretending to sing.
TruthAxe 2 years ago
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.

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.

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?
Prod1Kh 2 years ago
Sorry, bad memory, Neil invited Eddie onstage. Because Eddie is a fan.
Prod1Kh 2 years ago
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 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?
