Love Reign O'er Me - Pearl Jam (Unofficial)

[cbg777]

Pearl Jam's the only modern rock band who can pull this off.

[ccm67gd]

Absolutely fantastic.

[packlifer95]

This version is great and those who say that its crap are wrong. But for those of you say its better than the original, remember this: without the original this version would not exist. The fact The Who came up with the song makes their "version" better.

[buzzard515]

Woof fan who knows this kicks ass!

[TheLovedelna]

I love it

[richard4rachael]

Beautiful nuth said x

[poetesstx]

Awesome photography. I'm a fan of this song and the Who, but you challenged my senses. Thanks for that! Loved what you did. PJ gets major kudos.

[derriev1967]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[planedr]

This is possibly the best cover of any song ever.

Much bette that that Limp dicks cover of Behind Blue Eyes.

[melocotoso]

Muy buen cover, lo dice un fan a morir de the who

[whitecollarwoman]

This song is beyond amazing!!! I totally feel it's energy.

[Tigerpuffer]

Man I like The Who... but you gotta give credit to Pearl Jam. This is a freaking awesome cover. Pearl Jam does some badass covers. Just one of the many reasons that Pearl Jam is the greatest freakin band ever

[TheBigbear722]

This totally rocks.

Signed,

A Who fan who gets it.



[Cojiro6o]

@TheBigbear722 Touche my friend. Touche

[ElGranUnicornio]

El amor hace la vida tan confuso. Pero sin amor - ¿Estás seguro que quieres vivir?

[ElGranUnicornio]

Absolutamente hermosa >>>

[canabal72994]

I find this version way better.. More dramatic if you ask me. More feeling.

[kmacdowe]

Hats off to PJ. Job well done.

[kristenSW2009]

I love this one as much as I love the original <3

[familyman14]

The Who was my favorite band back in the late 70's early 80's and I have to say that Pearl Jam did this song a great honor the way they covered it. Absolutely love it!

[cdickenson64]

If anybody could have pulled off covering this song Eddie Vetter is THE ONE. Hear the passion in his voice? He makes you feel what he feels... Just like Roger Daltery did with the original.

[ovidiusi]

Great cover! Pearl Jam is amongst the greatest of all.

And for those of you who get offended that Pearl Jam did this song! They are only praising The Who, they aren’t trying to steal fans, or convert The Who fans to PJ fans. You guys are so narrow minded. If you only knew how much The Who inspired Eddie Vedder to mold his music after a legend like The Who you’d all feel like the idiot you already are!

[billy959]

i am ahuge huge huge who fan but i think this one is better than thiers

[finthallon]

Better than the original, this has more power, for example after the intro when the "Only love" part comes in, it's A LOT "heavier" than the original and has more punch, the original is just flat.

[NextGenRev]

this song made me appreciate real music

[Umbreia]

AMAZING!!!

[pinka024]

Wow... I never heard this song before.. I love it!!

[VladEskatell]

This song is awesome... even better than the original... Just listen to it with your eyes closed and you'll feel like flyin' hand to hand with the music and Eddie Vedder

[lolRodrigo]

first time i heard this i didn't think it was a remake, because it was so good.

And after i saw The Who version, i really have some respect for Pearl Jam, cuz they transformed a good music, into an awesome song.

[jessegladsaget]

This is probably the best cover I've ever listened to.

[livebreathecisum]

I love The Who and I'm not really a fan of Pearl Jam but I LOVE this version.

Also, the first bars of the piano intro are tattooed on my wrist.

[hype7sound]

Hermoso!!! :)

[BobMillahhh]

There is no way this is better than the who's studio version... that being said, pearl jam's live performance sodomizes the who's live performances.

[Grabbe666]

its awesome

its much better than the original

and the best song for the movie reign over me

[amotomen]

cojones!!!



[blsny213]

eddie vedder was approached by adam sandler about doing this song and eddie said he would only do it with roger daltrey's blessing, which he got

[blsny213]

epic

[blsny213]

*EPIC*

[becuziamrenee]

awesome! and im not even a who fan. this video is the only video ive watched all day that played all the way through without any pauses. soooo cool. good job, 'thecandleofthought'!!

[StandardSam1]

Wow, they caught all of the subtleties that make this such a great tune. Excellent... they really honoured the original here!

[FilipPetrovski]

love this song. 

[kingofthemosh]

Pearl Jam does a fantastic job with this song, but it can't be better than the original. The original was the final chapter of something much more colossal that The Who created in the Quadrophenia album. Without the rest of the pieces in place, this can't possibly compare to the original, and that doesn't even take into account that NOBODY beat the shit out of their drums like Mr. Keith Moon did. No disrespect to PJ's drummer, but you can't compare to that. In any event, this still gets 5 stars!

[falulu209]

Dude, I just fell in love with this song, the emotion i just so rawr D;

[rockfreak125]

this solo sends me on a journey

LOVE!

[wrsawy]

First of all, Eddie Veder idolizes Pete Townshend and the Who. Eddie has pictures of Pete hanging up in his studio for god sake. Like the other guy said, Eddie would slap you silly if you thought his version was better than the Who. What's more, the album for which the song came from is Pete's greatest work. (Quadrophenia). I would recommend watching the Amazing Journey - a CD documentary on the Who. It's very well done, Veder is in the video.

[MrGibsonJunior]

NOOOOOOOOOO! A band that outplays The Who on their own song...

I love The Who, but this is awesome!

[pattisavage1]

Not better... but not lacking in any way >> Awesome Song

[shawnohare]

I have been saying it for a long time and I will continue to say it. Eddie Vedder should remake every song ever made.

[FatElvis]

I've seen The Who perform Quadrophenia live twice back in the 90s. I don't know if Pearl Jam's cover tops that. Extremely powerful performance. This definitely tops The Who's studio version though.

[threedoubles]

pearl jam are awesome and eddie is the dogs bollocks, but, this is no way better than roger daltry. and, rog is a gooner.

[carlitos77ful]

El mejor cover de todos los tiempos, por la mejor banda de todos los tiempos!!!!!

[Patterson101able]

I love pearl jam!!!!!!

[trarcomavaglio1]

meravigliosa

[ARMYMEDIC270]

this song definately gives you butterflies. Especially in the movie when adam sandler is screaming along while he gets dragged out of the court room. So sad...So epic.

[AkwardlyAmie]

ugh, everything about this song is so perfect!!

[lepexi]

Eddie Vedder would fuckin slap you for saying this is better than the original.

[Rythius]

@lepexi this is true, but even eddie cant deny his song is amazing lol great man, great band.

[kmikl]

@lepexi Nah, I suspect he'd be flattered... Roger Daltry on the other hand might just slap the taste out of your mouth for that.

That being said, I like this version better than The Who's version. Eddie's scream is raw and less less melodic, but his tone is better IMO.

[pikemonroe]

Man, at the end of the movie, the court house scene, when they play this in "reign over me" it is very moving.

[Samantha1981full]

fuc*ing amazing. classic

[suicidaljoyride]

Everyday I like this band more.

[jouane1]

It's almost the same as the original version, so you can't say this one is better !

I think Roger DALTREY's voice is deeper.....my opinion...

But i agree to say it's a good cover!

[n8hud1]

Eddie Vedder.... don't know who else could've done this - awesome

[meathead66]

is this on any release?

[robfield68]

Another home run for Vedder. We are so blessed to be around to experience what he is doing.

[tommyfrombuffalo]

Sorry my friend, the original still is the best, The Who in their day,live, was something to witness, magical!

If you younger fans could have witness the glory days of rock, wish you could have been there! But, yes great version

[basketballed25]

I love it but the piano part  in the begining is better when the who did it

[usmcmom100]

gotta live eddie for sure

[GoExplorers2008]

this song gives me chills, fucking great music

[komnukomnu6]

The part right after the break with the piano and violins just blows my mind! 

[SteveTheVahn]

i kinda liked what you ddi with the other languages but im not a big fan of just trhowing in sentance fragments in when you cant get a picture of it. I also really like how the pictures when he was yelling it almost made it seem like he was actually yelling

[ohhowsweet]

Couldn't have picked a better cover.... Eddie rocks it!

[re1dude]

drum solo fail, otherwise really good

[emiludo]

eddie vedder has an amazing voice...no comparison to anyone else's, not even roger daltrey's.

[mlcll1]

no way any cover can sound better than the original, that is just life experience..........whoever said that has NO CLUE.....ASK eddie HE WOULD SAY THE SAME...............THE WHO RULE AND EDDIE KNOWS IT AS GOOD AS HE IS

[stpahd]

VERY cool!!!!! kudos! (loved the song already but the vid is wonderful too!)

[n3m1971]

the ending of reign over me, when this started playing.. I was just like wow..

[holygod12000]

This is on my top five favorite songs. Im not that of a romatic girl but this makes my knees buckle. The Violins are Epic!!!

[WeezyDrakeEmSabbath]

This is awesome. Eddie Fuckin Vedder!!

[plasticjesus23]

okay, i'll chime in here: original is a classic, cover by PJ is exquisite. isn't a case of one being better than the other. both are great versions of a great song and both stand ably on their own. and a special nod to pete townshend for the songwriting. genius.

[DeviantSlut]

y'know, despite the classic greatness of the original artists, this song makes me shiver. it's just so beautiful. His vocals are amazing, the composition is fantastic, I can't fault it. x

[simaussie88]

LOVE IT! Pearl Jam The Best Band EVER!

[wrsawy1]

Thank you Pete Townshend (the who) for making this song.

[azdawndawn]

nice!

[beyondtype91]

Excellent tributes here: their version of this Who anthem...and your vid! Mega! q;{>

[jambii]

fuckin awesome song..pearl jam fuckin rocked it

[justonebigqueerosexu]

this is truly a great song, the originals gd but im a big pearl jam fan so i prefer this one. made me cry in the film reign over me with adam sandler, great film

[michiganstateboy14]

hey man, great photos, you are a great photographer

[CRZYCalindian]

This is what happens when a fan of The Who decide to cover one of their songs. simply beautiful, way to go Pearl Jam

[ryfolamfer]

You have some real talent at editing. 1:35 is awesome and perfect. Good Job.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Great cover! Daltrey's performance is unbeatable but this comes close, both are great vocalists :)

[roedriguez80]

absolut perfekt ihr fotzen...! megageil!!!

[3eca]

Omg this brilliant!!!  wow truly amazing!

[TheMilanista89]

By far the best cover of this song.

Well done PJ.

[dillboy2k8]

love this song

[p3obar]

it' a great song, very well performed!

[dane21dc]

the way Eddie's voice blends with the violins sends shivers up my spine....mind blowing.

[LouieLand]

Vedder can't match Roger Daltrey. I like the subtle changes Pearl Jam made, and it's a very, very good cover, but Daltrey owns those choruses.

[gnrskid00]

the who's version is good but i prefer this version!!!!

[seanoco7]

he's got it, love it, roger and eddie twisting in the same vibe,

[ComtendoS]

The best part about it is that Edie didn't improvise and make it his own. He kept it the same formula and perfected what Daltrey had started on the song. Still have to say Daltrey's is better because of the impact that song had when he sang it. REALLY good though, I didn't think anyone could properly cover this song.

[Bugsy99]

@ComtendoS Well of course. Cover songs are never as good as the original. They may get close and they may even be as great as the original (this being a perfect example), but the original is always better

[staten0267]

didnt they redo this for a movie?

[whitedove1]

Yes, for the movie with Adam Sandler. Best role he ever played. Great cover of the song :D

[Snoochie88]

Yeah they did."Reign Over Me" with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle. Great movie btw.

[21jagster]

that movie was amazing, i actually cried both times i saw it

[sonarblowjob]

reign over me :)

[lovebabyL1]

i remember hearing this in the adam sandler movie.....and the chorus is so powerful.....when the song came on in the credits...it was just so ...mindblowing......

[Excluded20]

the movie is fcking epic!!

[scopexcool]

I cried like the whole second half of that movie... I could listen to this song all day.

[AruthaGemini]

Yeah, honestly, I really think Edie's vocals are better with regard to this song than Daltrey's...they're just more powerful, emotional, than the original. (but not knocking The Who's iteration, of course, because it's phenomenal, too)

[TheLeFair]

@lovebabyL1

I agree, It was so sad watching Adam sandlers character break down, and then he started to rock back and forth singing this..

[LiBERAT1ON]

Personally, I don't think it's better than the original, but it's DAMN good!

[decrepitCrescendo]

beautiful song

[Tld22341]

I've never been much of a fan of Pearl Jam, but I heard their cover of this song, and I loved it. Well done on the video.

[offhegoes1980]

Great photos man. cool video. love the shots of the rain water, nice one buddy! band's not bad either........ one of my favourites.

[evilemperordude]

It's great that they really stayed true to the original song with this.

[evilemperordude]

That was damn good. And I don't typically like covers. I think the only covers in music library right now are Hendrix's covers of Bob Dylan songs. Anyway, I'm glad that they really stayed true to the original here.

[Krataofheart]

......................... (speechless)

[taboaessa]

soundtrack of a beautifull movie!

[demravager]

better than the who, and that's saying something

[BrianCulticeMusic]

i completely agree.  The Who fans dont like to hear it, but this version is incredible. But, anything Pearl Jam does today couldnt be possible without bands like The Who, Zep, Floyd, and Humble Pie

[detroitbob]

@BrianCulticeMusic

I'm a huge Who fan, and I think Pearl Jam does an awesome job with this song. First heard it in the soundtrack of the movie & it blew me away.

[icicleblaze]

@BrianCulticeMusic I like to hear it. Eddie Vedder is a huge supporter of The Who, isn't he? It's kind of a tribute. And a hell of a good one. I love this.

[thewriter1008]

@BrianCulticeMusic I don't mind, I agree.  This is the finale to one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands.

[thewriter1008]

@BrianCulticeMusic I don't mind, I agree. This is the finale to one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands. I think Pearl Jam does it immense justice, I think. Awesome song, either way.

[Lockdown42]

Aaah thats a fucking awesome song... amazing!!

[PureOath]

Amazing. Not better than the Roger Daltrey original IMHO, but awesome, and certainly better than Roger can pull of these days. Just as good in fact.

[kenniewebb]

I honestly couldn't have picked a better band to cover this song. You can always tell when Vedder is feeling the song.....I think it's safe to say he's feelin' The Who! I love Townshend and Moon, but , Damn.

[osaka12345]

this is awesome.

[FireFox1914]

This is really an amazing cover. And I LOVE the photos. Great work Man.

[autoprecise]

Well thought out and well chorigraphed. Did a great job putting your artistic spin in a visual display of the song. Well done.

I marked it for my profile.

JP

[zabitalsi]

beautiful!

[49thFunk]

this is pretty good, but i think Roger may have just got eddie on vocals... just

[dane21dc]

man when the violins come into it n how it blends in with Eddie's voice just blows me away...absollutly spine tingling

[222sexidj4uuu]

Eddie Vedder Rocks it !

[erbiaman]

I literally shit in my pants when i heard this for the first time ... GOD, This is better than the Who !!! Although i have a huge amount of respect for "The Who" ... But .. This is Incredible !!!

[buzzard515]

Oh behave yourself!!! It's not a patch on the original BUT it kicks ass as a performance - long live Eddie Vedder!!

[SteveTheVahn]

Well i think the Who is definitly where it's at with this song, but that doesn't mean it isn't an amazing cover.

[sidrat72]

A remarkable version

[jackmarrin]

is this on any pj album ?

[TheJimothy1]

wow! two of the greatest bands ever doing an awesome twist on the same song should be heaps of it just don't let limp bizkit try a mundane watered version of it

[tnttonyd]

great version love this song.better than the who.

[Squisheeman513]

i hate to say this but pearl jams cover might be better the the original...

[pearljamgoat]

great song

[pearljamgoat]

pearl jam, the who, what can you say, eddie's voice is perfect

[pearljamgoat]

pearl jam, the who, what can you say, eddie's voice is incredible,

[grabokadia]

this is PERFECT!!!! <333

[HelloItsMe1988]

Pearl jam did an amazing job covering this song

[n8tronics]

Pearl Jam an excellent job on this song, The Who must be very happy to hear one of their greatest songs be played by another band, named Pearl Jam.

[flamin24]

This song was amazing at the VH1 Rock Honors i figured it would suck because all the other ones sucked and then when i heard this one i was shocked!!!!!

[nixxl26]

Great song... heard it in the movie Reign over me with Adam Sandler....

[BelindaKyle]

Love this song, and how Eddie Vedder sings it. I'm a dyed in the wool Who fan, and this makes the hair stand up all over me. Your work with it is very evocative, suits the song well.

[robert4plant8]

wow, his voice is devine !

[RevJim1313]

Pulled this off amazingly at The Rock Honors.

[wrgiard]

cool man

[mdelair420]

eddie kicks ass

[th1rteenreasons]

i, too, usually don't like covers, but this nothing short of amazing.

ann wilson does a pretty good job, too.

[figureheadCT]

usualy i dont like how bands cover songs but this is amazing! pete townshend and eddie vedder are very similar people

[faithingod65]

You did great ! Thank you for posting.

[xerb64]

what can be said... a fantastic cover. rock on pj!

[JoseyFirewater82]

This video is truly a blessing, thank you.

[JoseyFirewater82]

This video is truly a blessing, thank you.

[ronto450]

amazing!

[thepaddywagonishere]

Outstanding! The only ones that could have done it better is The Who. I saw The Who in 06 and believe me they did not disapoint!

[JimiFloyd]

Eddie has the rare ability to just say "fuck it" and literally put EVERYTHING he has into a single moment in a song, to not hold back at all. I really can't think of anyone else in rock exactly like that with their voice.

[gbbrocks]

Truly one of the greatest rock composers of all time, being covered by one of the most passionate and beautiful vocalists of all time.

[azzascfc]

great video really nice pics thank you

[caravan12]

i love this song! goosebump city!!

[birra94]

i love this song! i think the Pearl Jam cover is the best version.

[shmenditt]

OMG i love the who and this is just amazing...

but its just almost the same.

[kllysnerve]

Happy Camper!..this is sooooo good. And really nice vid. Thank you.

[MaynardOwns]

amazing absoluty epic and amazing

[vicerentay3]

i love this song! i think the Pearl Jam cover is the best version.

[metrozebra]

Great song.... great video.

[PrivateUnknown007]

Eddie put everything he had into this song, and WOW does it show. Such a good song, one of those songs that give you the chills every time you listen to it

[wrsawy]

Thank you pete towhsend for writing this song, thank you roger daltrey for singing it, and thank you pearl jam for taking it and leading it to the new generation.

The Who and Pearl Jam rock!

[nobodylisten2techno]

what a powerful song, thats all i can say. just raw power and emotion. amazing.

[Nevermind900426]

damn they removed the live video when they play it on the who rock honors
