I was only able to see them in both Calgary and Edmonton this year and both shows blew me away! Edmonton was incredibly intense and was one of my all time favorite shows. I agree with everyone below, this was a fantastic tribute and totally unexpected. One more reason to admire and respect Pearl Jam.
Wow. That is absolutely stunning. REM have been hands down my fave band for over 20 years. So I was/am a pretty sad guy when they broke up. Words really can't express how beautiful this tribute is from one of my other fave bands. Wow. REM bowed out with grace and Pearl Jam are still fighting the good fight.
I love Vedder's contributions to the original track. They truly enrich the sound...and this performance has only served to further cement my long-term appreciation for Pearl Jam. Thank you.
Thank you to Eddie for the kind words for my favorite band. "It Happened Today" is a really good touch, actually a bit better than something lame like "The One I Love" or something over done. Eddie is pretty great on the studio version of the song.
Beautiful. Eddie captures well the energy, the angst, the outpouring of love and appreciation of so many REM fans around this world as we celebrate their massive contributions to music, to fellow musicians and to humanity of these past few decades. They live on, as does their legacy and, most of all, their music. Thank you, Boys from Athens!
Eu amo tanto Pearl Jam que cada vez que vejo um show fico mais frustrada por saber que nunca vou conhecer eles pessoalmente. Me resta esperar o show do dia 09 de novembro de 2011 em Curitiba. Uhuuuu!!! #PJ20brasil
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!! So saddened by the decision to end after all these years, but, they have given us, so many emotions, and so much, its time to give something back. respect their decision and let them live on in our hearts & minds! to remember them! as THE GREATEST band of all time in my opinion, music, so touching, and changed so many peoples lives, including mine, made me realise, more than once, my life it worth living, ultimately, i owe my life to them, id not be here w/o them
the lyrics seems to have a terrible sense since the 9/21 ...thanks Mister Vedder for this beautiful version of a great song of R.E.M. and go on to sing R.E.M. song's, i'll promise to see you for your great job for the beginning in pearl jam but also now for R.E.M too.
He was so off key in some parts. Nevertheless, his voice fits this song so well since he's on the original recording.
