[hdvit]

Just perfect. Got several eargasms.

[dragoncircles]

one of the only songs that brings tears to my eyes when I sing along to it

[Username12287]

Ralph Nader = boss of the US Greenies

[nadilla100]

realmente muuuito bom

[classic7890]

Ralph Nader !?

.

.

Bu-wa-ha-haaa!!!

.

Nader made his reputation by LYING about the Corvair. The US Senate investigated for 2 full years and found , NO EVIDENCE !

.

LOL

.

Shut up and sing faggots

[gypsyqueen1964]

My God Eddie looks so young!

[junebug2165]

Eddie, you're a lot better at singing than reasoning. Don't stop singing!

[lyulala]

o.m.g

[jetmajic]

love you eddie

[notbutch37]

Thank you, Ben, for steering the character attacks away form homophobia. I love you, Eddie, but gay men can be "real" mean, too.

[hosolof]

@notbutch37 what?

[MrbonheurH]

is eddie realy gay ? u_U

[eurabbie1]

when intelligence, music and true human spirit meet on stage.... Ben and Eddie, you make things worthwhile.

[charismatickarma]

@eurabbie1 I'm with you! What a great performance! I lucked out tonight, finding some of the best music out there...it's been a good time! Thanks to those who give us these videos and songs to enjoy! I'm so appreciate! Lots of Love...<333

[izissas]

you´re hot eddie



[princess420s]

HAWT!

[jennibuster1974]

damn eddies hot with a hair cut!!! And Ben alway hot!

[changedianatraveled]

awesome lyrics awesome singers awesomely excecuted!! luv them

[porsche911fun]

two of the best from the 90's

[ryleeski2535]

Freedom of speech! He can say whatever he wants to say! No need to loose disrespect just becuz he has more money and talent than you :)

[skyneta1a]

I know eddie but who is Ben?

[JasonPMartin]

I just lost a whole lot of respect for vedder after his silly political tirade. Plus he looks like a 90s sitcom actor here.

[medic357]

Two of the coolest Cats we have been blessed to witness in our lifetime!

[donniedarkodevotte]

Ben Harper..Eddie Vedder...Ben Harper...Eddie Vedder...Ben Harper...Eddie Vedder...this is sheet music for an orgasm!!

[ebatkinson71]

i think i shat and came at the same time...



[143tammydee]

Saw these two at ACL 2009, greatest day ever.

[zlapmniee2]

It is already a classic kurwa !! :)

[thesigher08]

...ur talking about the 1st amendment...and opinions yet anyone who doesn't like these two ur lashing out at? Jeez...contradictory...don't cha think? Great song though. Love both these artists.

[Matthewhutton1555]

Cant you people just go by the 1st amendment. And rock and roll is just another way of saying "fuck you if you can't leave us alone".

[MikeWebbsDead]

Another stupid leftist moron who feels the need to spew his hatred crap on stage . Rock music sucks and so does their hateful leftist rhetoric

[MikeWebbsDead]

Both of these fools are idiots screw Eddie the putz and this Harper moron

[krowland7584]

@Graisyie your sarcasm is neither funny or making a valid point. The fact of the matter is they have a right to an opinion but why force feed your belief to your fans when the subject matter of the song is quite obvious. Our people so stupid that the eccentric radical musician has to spell it out for them. No ones paying to go to the show to hear that shit anyway. Opinions are like assholes everyones got one.

[SusanaM674]

@krowland7584

So the next time musicians get on the stage you want them to just shut their mind and thoughts for your benefit and sing like a puppet??

Go follow Miley and Bieber then!!

[slash108679999999999]

Awesome couple |,,|;

[oyvay3000]

boy, that ben harper is one handsome dude!

[catarinaavalente]

You should be listening to Justin Bieber then. Every really good musician has SOMETHING to say. It envolves life, and politics too.

[krowland7584]

Why didnt the youtube poster cut the political shit off the front. I hate poloticians like the next guy but snide comments definetly take a good song/performance down a couple of notches. Why do musicians try to use there performances like its a 1960's radical movement "man". If they want to help society they should have picked a different carreer.

[fankhauser99]

Exactly!!! Could not have said it better myself.

@krowland7584

[Graiskye]

@krowland7584 How dare these guys have a fucking opinion eh.

How dare they express their views.

Why the fuck wont they just STFU and sing. You people complaining they should just shut up and sing are the ultimate corporate puppets themselves and you always will be.

Hows that hand feel shoved right up your ass ? God Bless USA, land of the people who think they are free, and home of the corporate dipshit, enjoy it, you deserve it.

And you call yourself a musician, you should be ashamed.

[Naxen85]

Music is message. Music without meaning is just words with rythm.. Sensless. Ben harper is the inspiration we people need!

[augiephillips]

3:52 -- Passion. Enough said.

[JennyRaeLynn]

You all think musicians can make political decisions. Although, MUSICIANS can make an adress to the public in support or outrage for certain political stances. This song means that our voice carries through it all, @blaheta7 or russpang. Yes, a great song. but just listen to what words can conquer if we all sing them out loud.

[russpang]

Just play music and leave your dumbass comments to yourselves. I think less of both of you now.

[yakilover]

so gooood!!

[466angie]

awesome!!!! NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN IT...TWO GREAT TALENTS HAVIN FUN AND WHO CARES IF THEY ARE IN TUNE??? I DIG IT AND LOVE IT

[asthebowlburns]

The concert with them was fanfrickentabulously breathtakingly awsome!!!!!!!!!

[1elianto2]

Legend!



[MrSackOCrack]

love the music, but politically neither is in-tune, so to speak.

[KleWdSide]

Great performance. Eventhough the commentary in the beginning was annoying & flat

[glenneveaux]

I know that Ben thanks the audience at the end.................but, I couldn't help but feel that the importance of the audience was, sadly, overshadowed (if it could be), by the Ben and Eddie thang. Ups 2 Ben at the end, but .......................Eddie should have acknowledged the audience and all the supporters they had for their cause............especially when e.v. butchered the georgina bush "joke." georgina bush is a war criminal who should be ??????????, but

[Teivamusic]

Hi everyone ! I'm a big fan of Ben Harper and Vedder, that's why it's kind of close to my heart to do my "communication" under this video. My name is Teiva and I just launched my youtube page a few days ago. I write and sing my own songs with my guitar. "Teivamusic". I invite you to visit my page, I hope you'll like it, and if it's the case, hope you'll come back =))

[lBiaSilveiral]

gotta love the boy george insult!

[carlose0318]

that does not sound like madison square garden

[Kevindust29]

Their politics are rediculous, Ralph Nader is an idiot (as is GWJR) ...but this is a great song sung by great men.

[whitedevil2]

that was nice of Ben Harper to give some up and comer his first start and the chance to play in front of a large audience with him. wonder whatever happened to that guy. he wasn't bad

[barton301]

@whitedevil2 you are joking right?

[muskies216]

most underrated song i know

[goldengoat02]

get the f**k on itunes

[KylenaSinger]

far out! Thank you for uploading this. :)

[AllisonRenee78]

hahahha "I think they made it up while they were in the showers..." lol

[marting69la]

but whyyy whyy whyyyyyyyyyy

[kaloncar]

Cool tune. Commentary, well, let's just say it was not value-added material to the song.

[earthlyradiodotcom]

@kaloncar Yeah, better off if they stick to beeedebop teenie love drama commentary like Beiber.. then we wouldn't have to think about anything at all and .... well, never mind.

[sosijiz1971]

Hey, where's the damn GOOSEBUMPS button?!!!

[erbrown75]

@sosijiz1971 yeah, totally!

[historia601]

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lespoissons13]

When i saw the names Ben Harper and Eddie Vedder together.. i literally shat myself.

[proteinshake86]

@lespoissons13  haha i laughed out loud when i read this comment

[jenn32670]

@lespoissons13 .....I bet that was one incredible show....lucky you, where did you see them?

[466angie]

@lespoissons13 i could only imagine...i bet it was awesome

[0beli0]

@lespoissons13 exactly!! i know right? :O

[0beli0]

@lespoissons13 exactly!! i know right? :O

[LittleMsChachi]

Would be infinitely better without the political commentary.

[slenderlatina]

@LittleMsChachi the song is a political commentary

[nickmordo]

This is awesome. Vedder looks like he's 20 haha

[sunflower58s]

Music that makes you shiver

[Lisayra]

What is writen on eddie's guitar, please?

[b3BoYyO]

Beautiful 

[blaheta7]

The political commentary is awful......should stick with playing music

[arlendixon]

@blaheta7 no it's not.. corporate puppet was an exact science of a comment

[wwa4tna]

Why would you insult Boy George like that?

[DelsyKat]

@wwa4tna True!

[ceejay0207]

Lovely acoustic version of an awesome PJ song!

[TheMusicluv1]

Check out "Chillin" by Five Wheel Soul

[billj500]

As I watch this the hairs are jumping off the back of my neck and I have chicken skin from head to toe. Wow! Would love to see these two perform a full show together.

[prabs1976]

Tim Reynolds should be playing lead and Vedder should be belting - that's if he still can. Either way, a great video but not what I was hoping.

[jhj4689]

@prabs1976 if he still can? what the hell is wrong with you.

[azulwhite]

interesting the inferences at the start and in the end vedder is rubbing harper's leg and they're holding hands ----well what ever floats your boat!

[InekeSt]

@azulwhite My god big deal!

[pistraurder]

@InekeSt don't you know anything. if one man touches another man on the knee it automatically means that they are lovers. and you know if he's gay that's obviously embarrassing. do I have to explain everything to you? god. knee touching=gay gay=bad. obviously.

[azulwhite]

kinda funny they talk about george bush being referred to as boy george and he thinks they made this up in the shower ---- at the end eddie is rubbing ben's leg and then they hold hands! hhhmmmm well what ever floats your boat

[JacquiMacGeek]

D, Em never sounded so good! Proof that it's in the soul...

[metiron77]

wonderful, simply wonderful..great musicians, great men!

[medfcm062]

Please could someone put subtitles on the video? My english isnt enought to understand Vedders sleepy voice.

[Huskerdiane]

it makes no difference, but im thankful for this Sond.

[TheHemanHunter]

first a few gay-jokes and then the magis starts...

[pofesen]

that was madison square garden? i think it was in australia. they just talk about msg and the nader ralley

[Kindsoul75]

great duo

[trackschneebeli]

1:45

[Robysandrini18]

This video needs no comments!!! Both are amazing!!!

[accodato]

WOW

[blueyesfaery]

Do agree with them politically. And these two are absolutely awesome.

[babyjessie411]

don't agree with them politically, but they're amazing musicians!

[TheIronchef77]

what can u say? ..............................

[harryapezzi1]

potentissima!

[CreativityInsideArt]

I..have.. never seen and thing so BRILLIANT

[aaronrutz]

anyone know where I can get this duo recording....UN-BELIEVABLE!!!!

[radiodead74]

not for nothing but the crowd sounds like a small club and not MSG. how many peeps does MSG. hold? 30,000? not sure but it sounds like maybe a couple hundred @ this show???????????????????????

[grock1980]

I almost thought at one point that someone was shining a lazer light at Bens head. Then I was like oh yeah. Ive had a drink for like 2 minutes. By 2 minutes I really mean months. Did I spell mean right?

[TheAlienroad]

thumbs up 3:24 ben harper destroys the song! not to talk about the way he sings

[brett7474gabriel]

justin beiber sucks... please pass it on..

[djahok]

Vedder's eyes at 4:03 make me shiver.

[djahok]

What an amazing song ! My favourite artist with the coolest man in the world ! However I rather like this version than the Pearl Jam's one.

[karma0799]

the two sexiest men alive. damn.

[SnowChild88]

This is such an amazing duo right here! <3

[juzinhabarbosa1]

Lindoooooooooo! Ben e Eddie <3

[twiggyh4x]

Beautiful.

[lancedirk13]

someone fucking tab this please. the chords are obvious

[Dutchpowder]

@lancedirk13 It's easy... Just an E chord followed by a D(at the third strum, put your pinky on the third fret 1st string) and the chorus starts with G, to D and back to E( let go of all your fingers except for your middle-finger when on E, after first strum)

[lancedirk13]

someone fucking tab this please

[PAULFC93]

"Spare me the poloroids" gotta love ben harper

[jordach545]

NADER NADER NADER NADER NADER!!!!!

[ozzyjesse]

I don't agree with most of his political views but it doesnt make him any less talented. This is America, he can say whatever he wants and I can agree, disagree, or in my case just let it go in one ear, out the other, then enjoy his music. Regardless of how they vote, they are the best band...period. This song (and this version) is incredible.

[Dutchpowder]

1:44 Free Music Start

[OhElvira]

Shut up and sing!

[rasaecnai]

@Rainman272 i with @Deadvolcanoes on this one. First of all we all know Eddie is very political. Its part of his personality and that is who he is, and i think thats one of the things about him that makes people take him seriously. Its not really shocking if he talks about politics. And beside as dead says this is a political rally in the first place.

If your point about "substance" in songs i dnt agree to. Wither he sings it or just talk about it the message is the same.

[Rainman272]

@rasaecnai "First of all we all know Eddie is very political. Its part of his personality and that is who he is, and i think thats one "

Thats great that he's politcal,I WANT him to express an opinion,I've said that before. I just think its the wrong venue. If he wants to do it in a song,fine. Clapton learned a long time ago not to mix politics and music on the stage. And as I said,there was nothing in the description of the video to indicate it was a political rally

[jordach545]

@Rainman272 You know how many people probably went home from this and looked up Ralph Nader? If one person did, it's worth it.

[nateman20]

hey eddie, i didnt want to hear your opinions on american politics. okay, thanks for sining finally.

[Mikhailntx]

great great performance, too bad eddie has to ruin it with his over the top ultra liberal idiotic comments, unless you want to run for government eddie, do what you do best, music, and spare us the preaching. Not to say that one cannot comment on social or political topics, but please us a bit of common sense and intelligence and use judgement and make valid points Edwina!

[Deadvolcanoes]

@Mikhailntx Over the top ultra liberal idiotic comments???? He simply stated how politicians are greatly influenced by major corporations and lobbyists. This is a fact. Your ignorance, and the ignorance of people like you, is why Eddie uses his platform to discuss political/social issues he feels strongly about.

[Rainman272]

@Deadvolcanoes " Your ignorance, and the ignorance of people like you, is why Eddie uses his platform to discuss political/social issues he feels strongly about. "

Thats supposed to be a platform ? The other candidates are not worthy because they are infuenced by majjor corporations ? If you think no candidate is influenced by a variety of groups,and don't make promises and concessions to get elected,then YOU are the ignorant one.

[Rainman272]

@Deadvolcanoes And before you accuse me of wanting to censor Eddie's comments,I WANT Eddie to express his views,on "Face The Nation" or "Meet The Press" for 20 minutes. So he can go into depth regarding his assertions,that they can be debated,instead of making a few monosyllabic comments to a captive audience, who cannot debate what he says and who really just came to listen to his music in the first place.

[Deadvolcanoes]

@Rainman272 The great thing about Eddie's political ramblings, is that it stirs debate! Without his comments, this thread would just be about how great his music is. You believe one thing, I believe another. We live in a country where we are fortunate enough to be able to debate issues without fear of retribution. Eddie does it from a stage. You do it from your computer chair. He doesnt need to defend his views in order to share them. Hes not asking you to agree. You dont even have to listen.

[Rainman272]

@Deadvolcanoes " The great thing about Eddie's political ramblings, is that it stirs debate! "

My point is,the people who came to listen to him sing,can't debate his statements and I'm sure some of them if not most,feel like they're getting force-fed his stuff without getting a chance to debate him. Can you see A-Rod getting up to the plate and then giving a few second rant on something before the he's pitched to ?  Or Kobe stopping after he makes a 3 pointer to tell us who to vote for ?

[Rainman272]

@Deadvolcanoes And I like the music of Ben and Eddie,if I knew I was gonna get the preamble,I wouldn't have listened to it.

[Deadvolcanoes]

@Rainman272 "My point is, the people who came to listen to him sing, can't debate his statements."

With this line of reasoning, we should also disallow artists to write songs about political/social issues unless we have a chance to debate them on these issues. A song, after all, is but a "preamble" with music. Maybe Vedder should just play a few chords while hes spouts his brief political ramblings. Would this satisfy you? Would you still need the debate?

[Rainman272]

@Deadvolcanoes "With this line of reasoning, we should also disallow artists to write songs about political/social issues unless we have a chance to debate them on these issues"

A song is not a "preamble"on the issues. Its the "substance " of the presentation. I appreciate artists in expressing their views in the context of their songs.

[Rainman272]

@Deadvolcanoes And if Eddie played a few chords,then spouted his brief political/social ramblings,I would hope people would realize they are being manipulated and propagandized, stand up and call him out on his monosyllabic rants.like you should as well. As I said,I would love to hear more of Eddie's comments on "Face The Nation" or other Nationally Syndicated Program for 20 minutes. I'd really like to hear what Eddie thinks.

[Deadvolcanoes]

@Rainman272 Ok. Just so we all understand. You are upset that Vedder is talking about politics AT A POLITCAL RALLY. How dare Eddie Vedder spew his "monosyllabic comments" about politics at a concert which was designed for exactly that. This isnt propaganda, its not manipulation. It's one mans opinion. No one is forcing you to agree. No on is forcing you to listen.

Since you need the last word, go ahead. Im sure it will help you sleep better at night.

[Rainman272]

@Deadvolcanoes First of all, please educate yourself on the definition of propaganda,secondly I didn't know it was a politacl rally and third, if he actually said something with merit or said "hey after the music,I'm gonna discuss why Ralph Nader should be President,if you want,stick around. ",he'd have a lot more validity. I just don't like being force fed anything including all of Madison Avenue's crap,I'm sorry you don't mind.

[manthagirlpeace]

@Mikhailntx I think he is intelligent..not idiotic...but I guess there is a difference of opinions.. But hey, we both love Vedder!

[BubblegunNoGum]

For some reason in this video ben harper's voice reminded me of tracy chapman's voice. Is it just me or are they really alike in some way?

[Rainman272]

sorry for the numerous posts,they did not get posted immediately.

[eelioo1]
