  • I've heard the recorded cover version by EV/Pearl Jam and he did a great job covering this song by the Beatles. This is a live performance; a little rough, but it's still heartfelt. I love EV's voice too - very soulful.

  • Eddie's voice is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard But this song is just uncoverable for me . Lennon and The Beatles made THE perfect song , you just can't touch it anyway . Even if I love this version .

  • Never will be better than Lennon

  • Eddie Vedder is a living legend… unbelievable voice, unbelievable writer and a superb performer. This version of a Beatles classic is pure class!!

  • rubbish

  • Pretty kick ass version of the classic beatles tune. check mine out!!

  • @MrTrevormctrevor Quiet you retarded cunt.

  • HERMOSA VERSION E UNO DE LOS TEMS QUE MAS ME GUSTAN DE LOS BEATLES ... SALUDOS AMIGOS Y GRACIAS POR SUBIRLO ... GUS - BUENOS AIRES - ARGENTINA

  • I was there! Amazing show.

  • @bryanoca Totally agree! It's the best gig I've ever attended!

  • bb iz a dream..... ed iz a dreamer....... and time issssss pauseable....... hitttttttt...ll now

  • una delle più belle interpretazioni di questa canzone......

    non nascodere mai il proprio amore.......

  • cool, but Beatles is better....!

  • Damm what a tribute EV love this version.

  • if only it was better quality :(

  • Eddie Vedder what a legend..no voice could do it better. With the exception of John Lennon ofcourse.

  • Best thing Pearl Jam have ever done.

  • Wats with all things long comments? Lol long live the beatles!

  • Eddie by singing a Beatles song is making young people who don't know the Beatles as well as we do, aware of their music. I met ALOT of young guys who tell me that this is their favorite Pearl Jam song, of course I tell them it's not theirs but yet they are curious to know who's is it. Vedder is a Beatles fan and as a fan he is contributing to young people to get to know the Beatles. Pearl Jam will always rock and so will The Beatles. Two great rock bands. SO STOP FUCKING BASHING EV.

  • @Eddiemily Wait this isn't a pearl jam song?

    I've heard of the beatles. Aren't they that Oasis cover band?

  • @AppleHankypants yeah, and fuck you too!

  • @Eddiemily

    yeah, just like krist and dave from nirvana are still spreading the beatles word, and also kurt was a huge fan, ozzy, alice all great musicians pre 50s are influenced by them ehtier directly or trough bands that were influenced by them.

  • @Eddiemily Pearl Jam is so amazing to me.. but... Beatles is my first love... and... first love... it's hard to forget...... and in all my life i love them all.... :-)

  • @TheConcorde69 I agree with you, I put The Beatles above any other band, but Pearl Jam is from my generation and I love those guys. But it's nice that you don't hide your love away from Pearl Jam either.

  • @TheConcorde69 its hard to imagine

  • VEDDER IS BETTER THAN CORNELL

  • NEVER FOOL!

    NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You can't compare apples and oranges.

    Very simplistically beautiful song.

  • pearl jam is nice band but nothing compares to the beatles

  • A really good cover

  • Very cool. Eddie Vedder doing a cover of a Beatles song.

  • this cloudchaser... whatever, is indeed posting stupid comments.... just read the song Indifference...

  • He doesn't sound stupid to me. Are you that insecure in your EV convictions?

  • Oh btw, Eddie's version is SOOOO much better than Cornell's. Sorry Chris.

  • The Beatles are amazing..Pearl Jam is amazing..great cover by a great band..love them both

  • I know I'm an old f**k (61yo) but I WAS THERE!! I grew up in this magic time with all this incredible music.....my sympathies to today's music lovers who have to listen to the 4-letter-word crap that passes for music in the 21st century.

  • have to agree with you fella, love the music from that decade.compared to some of todays junk. im 40 and somtimes think i was born 20 years too late lol. but it still sounds great today.

  • So, so true man, almost a billion records sold worldwide - never again will we see such talent.

  • Como canta este hijo de puta

  • my favourite beatles song......god i'd love to have been here what a fucking performance

  • Look, everyone loves The Beatles !! no one can BE them, but any tribute is lovely ! ! it's real love ... a tribute to love, memories, influence to all current musicians.... ..quite astounding, actually !

  • i like it

  • its between him and chris for me in terms of covers of this song... so hard to choose

  • Are you kidding me its either him or Chris?!! are you referring to Chris Cornell come on Eddie vedder is an ok song writer singer but his lights are out Chris Cornell is a much better distinguished vocalist, i mean Chris hits notes few can hit besides Robert plant. plus he had a much better successful career

  • this is true and i agree that chris is superior but i think that vedders handling of certain songs which chris has also sang, ie this and hunger strike, vedder seems to come out slightly ahead

  • this is the second dumb comment I;ve read from you cloudchaser...please help me understand this....."had a much better successful career...? what grade are you in? Just stop posting things...please!

  • In ten years eddie will still be selling out shows and chris will be doing studio work in France. Maybe you're right, chris is a better singer songer writer, more better successful singer writer song...guy.... can i kick the snot out of you?

  • Comment removed

  • Go to a Chris Cornell fan boy page. Why are you wasting good people's time by promoting an artist who is not even in the video?

  • @cloudchaser07 you should be ashamed of yourself dude. no one compare's to ed. you suck man.

  • i feel sorry for you. you have no idea what great music is. yeah the beatles are great but ed does a great cover. maybe you need to listen alittle better.

  • god i didnt know what a loser you are until i read your comment. let me ask you this. if ed is so mediocre then why does pearl jam play to sold out concerts or their record sales are so high? you dont even know what youre talking about. youre a waste of space man.

  • hej gościu jesteś nie samowi ty

  • It's a tribute to John...let it be.

  • Sound sucks but a great cover

  • FUCKIN PAINFULL THIS....

  • A perfect cover. This is the Beatles, you don't go messing big time with these songs,it was done his way,but he took no chance to change a song he thinks it is the way it should be and stay.

  • I enjoyed it....very good .... I wish people would not say Beatles version tho when it's their baby !

  • I hate when someone covers a song and they take "vocal liberties". Unless you have a really special voice, just sing it the way the original band sings it.

  • Goddamn! All the hairs on my back stood up!

  • FUCKYOU PEARL JAM

  • Sparky, I too, grew up w/ the Beatles...and I agree w/ you. This guy did a fine tribute of that ol classic. In fact, he' honoring group w/ his singing ...it's respect!

  • aww i love how people join in the chorus! :D ...just listen to them...

  • i wouldn't think that this would sound as good as the Beatles, its very good, very good

  • I usually don't like Beatle covers but E.V. has a perfect voice for this song. I think Lennon would approve

  • personally, i think it's cool when artists do covers of songs. pearl jam has many of their own good songs...they're just paying tribute to the beatles. they obviously like them, and so do alot of other people.

    there's a band called rain, and they do only beatles songs. they don't sound exactly like them, but i think many would agree it's cool to see these guys dress up like them and sing their songs. am i right?

  • of course it's not as good as the beatles' version, but i think he did a good job

    also, you have to consider, the beatles started out doing covers of popular songs themselves, just like any good band

  • im gonna have to say i like the beatles version better, for sure!

    good try though pearl jam(:

  • kick ass

  • I grew up with the beatles music also , but I realize that although no one could be the beatles or do their music better obviously, their are still fans like this guy from pearl jam who loved them too and just wanted to show his respect with a tribute song like this . He wasn't trying to be better or be a beatle , he just wanted to express himself. Thats what real musicians do and I dont even like pearl jam

  • nice one

  • america and england

    come quietly home.

    nicely so.

  • Wow! Fantastic version! I love it!

  • he did a great job

  • they're from seattle washington...close though :P lol

  • are this band irish??

  • No. They're from Seattle

  • I heard this on the radio. Having grown up with the Beatles version, I thought Eddie did a great job. no one sounds like John Lennon..but this audio has alot of echo. Nice, though!

  • Nikt na świecie nie gra jak Pearl Jam!! rlz !

  • HEY! You've got to hide your love away.

  • I actually think that this is more what the Beatles had in mind when they wrote this. The harmonica is better than the flute for this song, which is trying to immitate Dylan.

    I'm saying this as a Beatles nut, by the way.

  • John Lennon wrote this during his "Dylan" period. He even admits this many times. And since Dylan likes Vedders version of the song I don't think anyone will be upset by that.

  • THE BEATLES VERSION IS BETTER

  • LA VERSION DE LOS BEATLES ES MEJOR

  • just so all you nirvana haters know, cobain loved lennon just as much as you guys did. he was one of his biggest influences.

  • Saw them for the first time in '08...I've been blessed to see in my lifetime including Janis in one of her early concerts. . .I can truly say Eddie was right up there. . .and as well known as he is he still gives a long awesome concert. . .truly a pro!

  • cover of a great band

    by a great band

    nuff said

  • you suck

  • i completely agree, what the hell is this shit. Why would this asshole even try to duplicate a Beatles song?

  • love is all u need so get rid of the anger ! :)

  • Sorry Not A Patch On John Lennon, and nirvana are my favourite anyway...

  • the beatles are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better

  • it's hard to do a good song bad...

  • i dont think brother vedder meant it that way...john lennon and paul were the greatest greatest ever...

  • No joke!

  • Eddie rocks! Pearl Jam is always a wild concert. Saw them again recently and was blown away by another cover they did-- the Who's "Love, Reign O'er Me". One of the best bands still out there. I gotta post me some Vedder soon! Peace

  • yes...post them soon!!! they do the best covers of anybody out there...outside of being the band that saved R&R...haven't seen them yet...but I will before I die....

  • Great version :)

  • Thanks Eddie for your patronizing response!I don't feel the least bit unfortunate nor do I feel that I am confined to a lower level of spiritual awareness for not feeling that way.I find it interesting that I am "warped" for having an opinion that hasn't changed for over fifteen years. What do I as a listener and musician know?Over the years Eddie's performances strike me as mostly calculated and tepid.Coltrane and Lennon were passionate-I hear that. Clearly, I must be out of touch with reality!

  • "Eddie Vedder is pretentious posing bozo...Thats the problem with him-he acts it-he doesnt feel it..."

    thats such shit man.if youre not eddie himself then i doubt you know what hes feeling.hes done some pretty fucking amazing covers of this song.dont judge this cover by all the others hes done.

  • your perception is severely warped. how unfortunate for you.

  • Ronald Reagan was an actor, so was Arnold Schwarzenegger.... so what are you saying? Can't trust them? Maybe you even got a point there, but with politicians, not musicians...

  • youre a fucking asshole piece of shit you dont know shit about anything i dont know how eddie feels but at least i dont make stupid fucking comments like this. son of a bitch motherfucker, you

  • i dont think this song can be played without love and passion and emotion. eddie's performance is a beautiful tribute and watch pearl jam perform live on SNL cuz that was quite an emotion filled/ energetic performance.

  • friggin awesome tribute by Eddie...and I agree completely that it has to be sung with love and passion...John was basically telling the world that he was married to Cynthia at the time but it would be "bad" to have one of the Beatles married...I still play this to this day and it always gets a great response...most ppl in my audience know every verse? It wasn't even one of their most popular songs but I swear everyone knows every lyric? A tribute to John's songwriting skills I guess?

  • good version go the jam!!

  • THE BEATLES #1!

  • the beatles - the greatest

  • long live the beatles!

  • que basura de video mejor que no la arruine y se quede en la mente de todos con la voz del gran john lennon

  • though he loves hardcore rock.. but he loves beatles rock rulez. a standard idol of pearl jam in their young days.

  • Big pearl jam!! That good is this song of the beatles. exelente cover:D

  • heyyy you've gotta go Eddies' way !!!

  • it's the beatles from the album help

  • OMG that was awesome... This is what art is all about people... Colonizing the dreams we all share.

  • not "stolen" covered

  • I was also at Camden on friday night for this, it was cool when Eddie came on way before the opening act to play this and have the whole crowd sing with him.

  • this is such a good cover i usually hate it when people cover beatles songs but this is a great job...i was at the concert last nite in camden and he opened up with this song and everyone went wild and they were all singing with him it was great!!

  • Eddie Power Forever!

    Very Thanckx for post the vìd!!

    BkD

  • Oh Eddie,hey!!! Sweet!!!

  • Sounds good! Nice cover.

  • amo esta version

    pq amo pearl

    y creo ke hay ke ser mas abierto

    hay versiones para todos

  • Cool that Eddie pays tribute to the beatles.

    off course his voice is lower, a cover is never mend to be compared, for sure if it in concert and not for sale on cd,

    So all of you comparing are a bit" simple" really.

  • the beatles are WAY better his voice is waaaaaayyyyyy to low conparied to john lennons

  • I love how the crowd is singing with him

  • I definately love the Beatles version opposed to this one. But I love the fact that Eddie is a Beatles fan and covered this song. Any homage payed to the Beatles is great. And PJ is my second favorite band after the Beatles.

  • DANG! the guy who sang this has a low voice tht doesn't sound how the beatles sing it

  • Singing carbon copies of songs is for boy bands.

    Ed's a Beatles fan, he makes allusions to them in his songs.

  • the beatles sing this so much better!! <3

  • I love the harmonica in the pear jam version. Didnt realise it till now...

  • beatles are better

  • hey she18777.go to hell.atleast he sings what he preaches and backs it up.your just a brain washed republican.FUCK george w.

  • ur half right

    republicans rule but still

    bush is a fag

  • If Bush is so awful, how did he get elected to President twice and rated one of the best 10 Presidents of all time?

    Sure, he has made a lot of bad decisions, but he has also made many, many good ones.

    I am also assuming that the Electoral College knows something that we don't. Bush has lost popular vote, but then again, even Democrats voted for him.

  • that is my question also

    hes killing innocent people in the name of...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how did you guys onto this from such a nice song lol

  • ur right

    this is stupid

    its a good song

    the beatles did it better but vedders good too

  • ha, i just saw your comment after i wrote mine, lol. :-)

  • im sure a few people were thinking the same thing ;)

  • i dont remember, but. I lik ethe beatles version better. Especially, the anthology cut.

  • me 2

  • I've been reading a lot of comments over the years on Youtube. Some funny, some mean, some racist, and some are nice and polite. But I MUST admit...this is the DUMBEST comment I have ever read. Ever. In my whole life. 10 Best Presidents ever?!! Give me a fucking break!! Who voted? The Saudi's or the Isreali's? Look where this country is, and where it was 8 years ago. This fucking place has gone to hell. He is literally retarded.

  • Kenberg. You have called me "dumb" for something I had no choice in. What I said was not opinion, but fact. America voted in a nation-wide survey, to answer your question.

    I have this much to tell you, though.

    If you are going to try to insult me for being less intelligent than yourself, at least try to word your reply in a manner that makes you seem like you know something. Less vituperative language, more facts and opinions.

    'nuff said.

  • I dont recall calling you dumb. But I do recall calling your comment dumb. There is a difference. I am willing to bet that when the Nation-wide survey was taken. It was right around the culmination of the media brainwashing. You know, the whole terrorist bullshit, the whole invade Iraq because they're the bad guys thing. Bush is one of the worst presidents ever. Look at the concsistency of his poles. And just because you try to use $5 words, doesn't mean you're smart. PS. I only mentioned facts.

  • I've voted my self the best President ever... lol

  • why the hell do all of you have to be talking about bush???? why can't we just talk about the song??

  • Vedder is nothing but a liberal doushebag now. He should shut the fuck up!

  • The world would be a better place without people like you.

  • So harsh....what did Ed ever do to you???

  • Not as good as the original, but what cover of a Beatles tune is as good?

  • -> Joe Cocker's version of "With A Little Help From My Friends".

  • Sure the sounds is bad but i was part of the public and i can swear you that it was so great ! Vedder is the best singer nowadays, so great ! thanks for this very good concert

  • this wasb't a beatles top seller but its still so much better with them. congrats you ruined it

  • its better with the beatles

  • It's only bad because of the poor quality of the sound/video

  • Egomaniac

  • eddie for king of the world!

  • nice way to kill a classic
