Pearl Jam Yellow Ledbetter unplugged

[bsheridan1000]

Pearl Jam is amazing period todays music sucks

[TheJordan4321]

the best part about this is that you can sing whatever you want, then say box or bag and then sing the chorus. then you will know the lyrics.

[oogrooq]

potato waaaaaave

[BrianGriffin83]

I want to die (as late as possible!) listening to this song.

[dasheekee]

what a beautiful song



[gabriepell]

This song is probably the best suited to Eddie's voice; it just works so well to his style and idiosyncrasies.

[noahmcdx]

The great thing about this song, is even though you can't understand the lyrics, the vibe you get from the song almost makes you understand what he's talking about from understanding only every fifth word.

[TheAustinMullins]

The lyrics really are easy to understand if you know Eddie's voice.

[10snelson]

greatest outro ever

[killer88buzz]

its the ever changing, always evolving song!!

... one of the best from one of the best  Pearl Jam rocks forever!!

[KeatonIsBlackLOL]

[BAHulvey]

[LawyerLeads]

@sharkabe - Close......but no cigar.

[sharkabe]

unsealed on a wayside letter says

"i dont have to ever feel it again"

on the frontside on a wayside letter says

"i dont have to ever feel this way again"

on the porchside im gonna wish it all away

and i try and i fall

and i say that im never gonna see her again

on the porchside on the frontside letter said

i dont know wether i was the boxer or the bag

[doinit4odin]

Shit, that just blew my mind three times in rapid succession.

[SixStringIcon]

LOL @ Tupac. I can't believe such non talent is even mentioned here...Please lets show Pearl Jam a little more respect. Thanks....

.And great song

[dwainbailey3000]

Make me fries, bro. great upload

[rachelbunny747]

[baskabizzle4life]

I wish I could find the 3 people who disliked this video....

[erocker2020]

My friend used to always try to play this song on guitar, so we played it at his funeral. It will always bring back the 90's to me. The spirit of that time, good and bad.

[DrunkLahey]

@erocker2020

Sorry to hear that man. I played this song at my wedding,people loved it!

[SpaceCraftONBOARD]

Buhh This Aint Music 2Pac Died And All Wack Artist Rise

[creativescreenname]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD Pearl Jam was huge before Tupac got shot...

[SymbolicX5461]

@creativescreenname theyre still bigger than tupac

[creativescreenname]

@SymbolicX5461 Duh.

[DrunkLahey]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD

You ,sir, are an idiot.

[myangelmyall]

@DrunkLahey You tell him love ; ) xoxo

[chomper420]

@DrunkLahey I agree!!!!

[Mrmetal770]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD you must be a nigger or a wigger, faggot

[d3m0nspwn]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD I hope you die a slow miserable death talking like that! fkn trollers /spit

[DirtyMinistry]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD sorry sir but i think you are a douche...this aint music? so u wanna say flippin big ass mouth flapping wearing blings , memorizing the whole song and giving a speech on big booty bitches is real music?

[richoandlisa]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD THERES ACTUALLY A REALLY INTERESTING LINK BETWEEN TUPAC AND PEARL JAM YEAH HE CARRIED THEIR BAGS FROM CHECKOUT TO THE LIMO THEN EDDIE THROUGH SOME CHANGE ON THE GROUND TO GET AWAY FROM HIM TUPAC CHASED AFTER THE CAR CRYING "ANYTHING PLEASE YOU MUST NEED A BUTLER PLEASE PLEASE" BUT THOEY DROVE AWAY THE REST AS THEY SAY IS HISTORY THEYRE STILL BRILLIANT AND HES STILL A TALENTLESS CORPSE

[lightthecradle92]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD 2Pac sucked and this definatley came out before he died

[XmaSterDekuX]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD fail



[LawyerLeads]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD You make a compelling argument but I'd need you to break it down into subsections. Please elaborate concerning:

A) the struggle of mankind to find a balance between art & commerce

B) the idea of contemporary art as a reflective byproduct of consumerism

[canadam1983]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD you are just a sad, pathetic little man...

[MrTony173]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD not just an idiot, a f*cking idiot!!! dumbasses like you should just die! quickly and quietly if possible...the world would be so much better off! :)

[lothariam]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD what the fucks a 2pac?

[dillon123met]

@lothariam a 2pac is a rapper that people's knickers are in knots about

[dillon123met]

@SpaceCraftONBOARD fuck you troll

[MegaFretsOnFire]

It's So Greatest! *-*

[DrunkLahey]

I love this all!

[darkwolf291]

OFFICIAL LYRICS: Unsealed, on the porch a letter sat Then you said I wanna leave it again. Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand. And On the sand I wanna leave it again. On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away And they called and I said that I know what I want and then I call out again. And the reason oughtta leave her calm I know I said I dont know whether in a box or a bag Aw yeah can you see them out on the porch but they dont wave Aw I see them round the front way

[darkwolf291]

And I know what I want, and I dont wanna stay Make me cry.. Oh I see I don't know there's something else I wanna drum it all away I said I dont know whether in a box or a bag Ah yeah Can you see them out on the porch. But they don't wave I see them round the front way yeah And I know what I want, and I dont wanna stay I Don't wanna stay Yeah I dont wanna stay (x4) Those are the studio version lyrics

[contropressione]

Does somebody know what acoustic guitar is that?

[santiiri]

What I love about thins song, is that the lyrics are so impossible to understand that I can just sing whatever the fuck I want and it sounds right. =D

[DrunkLahey]

@santiiri

YEAH! I totally agree!

[ciaranwood]

@santiiri

have to agree too! always sing along but not sure what i'm saying!

[michaelFKNstone]

@santiiri

 thats awesome lol

[SiquelaTrevisan]

@santiiri even because this song has no official lyrics

[inovacije]

@santiiri I read somewhere that Eddie said, that there are no lyrics to this song, his voice is used like the instrument,and he's singing every time something similar but different...

[jcmagicalmysterytour]

Why does Vedder mumble the lyrics ?

[TheKillacamman]

best pearl jam song ever..and i'm a metalhead

[IAmSparklingWine]

Ha ha!!! I sing this song all the time because I love it so much....sigh...if only I knew the words!!! I don't need to know the words to know it's deep though!!! Only Eddie can sit on a stage and play to a sold out room and sing a song no one knows the words to and still have the cheering and love from the audience. Damn, that's a good day!!!

[sabrinaOnlyOne]

esta canción me hace pedazitos

[LOVELED1]

is this english? :S

[jcmagicalmysterytour]

@LOVELED1 It's hard to tell what language he's using in the vocals.  It may be portugese.

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

@jcmagicalmysterytour Definitely, NOT potuguese. I'm brazilian and I can't understand a single word. He's actually snging in english, but he was drunk and laid down when he recorded this song, that's why so hard to understand the lyrics. Google it, and you'll see it. I know all the lyrics by mind, I just can't sing along, that's almost impossible (:

[SerjRules08]

2 people OBVIOUSLY have there head up there ASS so far they cant even hear the music!!!

[DrunkLahey]

Ok shit head, you know all the lyrics? Didn't think so. If you think you do, post them.

@SerjRules08

[abeastlyphil]

@DrunkLahey there are no official lyrics... quit hatin'... hater...

[DrunkLahey]

@abeastlyphil

Who are you calling a hater? I posted this vid and if you read more of the comments you'll see that I am a HUGE PJ fan and this is one of my favorite songs in the world!

[myangelmyall]

@SerjRules08 haha ;) SO TRUE

[DrunkLahey]

I still sing it not knowing the lyrics, haha.

[cigarbong]

I use to sing to this song without knowing the lyrics. In fact, I still don't know the lyrics. hahaha

[chubacaman1]

Why is Mariah Carey on the tags?

[DrunkLahey]

@chubacaman1

HAHA! You were searching for Mariah carey!

[chubacaman1]

@chubacaman1 i was looking at the tags idiot

[TehEvilWolf]

It makes me sad to know that there is no passion in music anymore. People like Pearl Jam and Tool will always live on as legends of their time. Hopefully one day this kind of music will be brought back. Not just some stupid 18 year olds singing about getting laid.

[DrunkLahey]

@TehEvilWolf

Thank YOU! I could not agree more with every word you typed there. Glad to know there are others out there who appreciate PJ and Tool the way I do. Both bands put on a HELL of a live show too!

[TehEvilWolf]

@DrunkLahey =) Glad to know others feel the same way I do. But thankfully both PJ and Tool still have it in them. But it still makes me sad to see Eddie's stage wildness and enthusiasm slowly decrease. But he's still a great singer and still makes my kind of music.

[satanxhhhx]

@DrunkLahey There are others who feel that way.  I would be another.

[DrunkLahey]

@satanxhhhx

Happy to hear that.

[slapnut892]

If I close my eyes it feels like I'm back in the crowd.

[DrunkLahey]

@slapnut892

Were you there? Lucky !

[slapnut892]

@DrunkLahey Hell yeah it's a concert I'll never forget. I still can't get over how good they sound live.

[DrunkLahey]

@slapnut892

Yes, they put on an amazing live show!

[mis52layne]

McCready is the man

[2ballswaxed]

i really dont understand a fuckin word hes sayin, but i love this song

[SIMONP1965]

what idiot turned off the stage light while hes doing a gator solo

[boehmke190401]

Best band of all time, Eddie vocals are haunting, the guitar is magical. When is someone going to step up to the plate or we will not see this sought of live music again.

[DrunkLahey]

@boehmke190401

amen!

[ashlee5000]

@DrunkLahey  sooo true!

[needabrain2]

@boehmke190401

How are you using the word sought? I thought it meant having looked for something. As in "I sought the truth, but found only lies". Anyway, Eddie and PJ rock, on that we can agree.

[needabrain2]

@boehmke190401

How are you using the word "sought"? I thought it meant having looked for something as in "I sought the truth, but found only lies". Anyway, Eddie and PJ rock, on that we can agree.

[jpogitalaga]

a good song for acoustic.. but nothing can beat the original's electric guitar solo

[mikenice8008]

This is a good acoustical version of the song....too bad PJ sux now...they were the shit in the 90's

[DrunkLahey]

@mikenice8008 They don't suck at all man, they're as good as ever, buy the new album and listen to it a few times, you will love it, unless your stubborn and ignorant.

[mikenice8008]

@DrunkLahey or I just don't like them anymore-you forgot about that option....people do tend to change their tastes

[DrunkLahey]

@mikenice8008

Yeah people do change their tastes as they get older and smarter. I used to listen to a lot of shit that I hate now,but, I have always enjoyed PJ ever since Ten. They had their ups and downs in between,but, their style has just changed the messages are as strong as ever. Please tell me what your music prefrance is now?

[mikenice8008]

@DrunkLahey I like a variety of stuff......just check out my channel for a peek at some of the stuff I dig.....there's more than that but I only add to the list infrequently

[Karkar82]

@mikenice8008 I've changed my taste since the nineties to, but I still love the quality music that I listened to back then . Pearl Jam is a quality band. They make good music.

[mikenice8008]

@Karkar82 I love Ten more than anything but for some reason I can't get into them anymore....maybe its me but they don't do it for me like the first 3 albums do...the guitar solos for me in some of the b songs on ten are amazing and affect me both emotionally and spiritually

[camblaster2]

@DrunkLahey i agree that they arent as awesome as they used to be, but theyre still AMAZING

[DrunkLahey]

@camblaster2  Yes they are! They're liveshows are friggin' amazing.

[Gabyu666]

eres el más churro del universo, y tienes un talento increíble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[overbey3]

Wait..what did he say???

[Ofthegirl09]

Okay Drunk Lahey, you know Eddie sings different lyrics to almost every song live!

[mickey6972]

i think its funny when ppl rate how good a song or solo is on the difficulty of it... its foolish... i love this song and the solo... it all flows very beautifuly... with that i think its fair for others to call it the best without someone rippin them a new one.

[ROCKERRRR1]

It is unplugged? I prefer their 1rst MTV Unplugged!

[lostatric]

great song, great name... drunk lahey... corey and trevor did it.

[SuperDario1978]

Temazo....

[skarlent2001]

great quiter solo

[marianah71]

Eddie's just amazing! Greatest voice of all time..

[norcalirob1978]

Fuckin brilliant!

[mustangTNT]

Notice the background "The Bridge School" - this is Neil Young's concert for the school his handicapped son attends, a charity event and is AWESOME. As we know Pearl Jam & Neil are old friends. BOTH FOREVER ROCK!!!!

[PARRAvliss]

wow super music!!

[jeeneminsa]

damnstaright! McCready is a god!

[jollyranchhand]

These guys just are just such amazing talents, I"m so glad I've lived to experience them. This is one of the best unplugged songs I've heard them do yet.

[nivostms]

thriskeia!!

[rikimaru263]

this song is so sad. omg. you can here the pain in his voice thats why i love eddy vedder.

[flammyflamflam]

Eddie Vedder = Legend

[scribe3s]

The sign in the background says "The Bridge School". This is obviously a fund raiser for that school. For those who don't know, the Bridge School is where Neil Young's child/ren went (or still do): I think Zack may still be there. Anyway, a great song for a great cause: rock on, guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrunkLahey]

Thank you for that tidbit of info. That's pretty cool.

[hondahp18]

i think thats one of the most emotional sounding songs they ever made, i think this one rivals black

[charmingasalways]

I think so too. Love this song.

[lecheface94]

mike mccready took the shape of a unicorn for a second did anyone else see that !!!!! fuk pearl jam can make a women pregnant with this song alone they dont even need sperm.

[bluesacoustics]

most simple to play guitar solo ever maybe but not even in the league of the best. don't get me wrong one of my all time favorite bands and singers and songs, but cmon people just cause something is your favorite does not classify it as the best... educate yourselves

[DrunkLahey]

Well it's my favorite, therefore, to me, the best.

[nothing952]

Dude who cares how easy it is to play a guitar solo? I was never a big PJ fan, but this was, in my opinion, the best song of the 90's.

[jwTheFlood22]

One of the best, but Black and The Nixons- Sister were up there as well.

[Raiyell]

most complicated does not equal best either. we don't need to educate ourselves if we think the song is the best or the band is the best. in the case of music, "Best" is a matter of opinion so go watch/listen to what you think is the best and we'll all be happy. if anybody needs to be educated, it is you on the definition of an opinion

[Valentione]

Guitar riffs or solos don't need to be hard to play or even the least bit complicated to be considered amazing.

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love... Easiest shit I ever learned, yet one of the coolest and greatest rock songs ever.

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Man in The Box - Alice In Chains

Any ACDC tune...

You get the idea

[cards7509]

whole lotta love may be easy...

but try creating a solo with legendary status...

[Valentione]

Never said anything about creating a solo nor did I say it wasn't legendary.

I was simply saying that a solo doesn't have to be crazy fast or complicated to be a legendary solo. Some of the most simple solos are the most legendary ones.

[okbyme4fun]

@bluesacoustics

Um, come on its a tribute to Hendrix's Little Wing, and McCready's guitar solo from "Yellow Ledbetter" was featured on Guitar World's "100 Greatest Guitar Solos" list

So while you might consider it easy apparently others that get paid well for their opinions, agree.

Though I'll go with Hendrix or SRV acoustic rendition of Little Wing any day

[captainortega]

@bluesacoustics a solo doesnt need to be hard to play to be good. always remember that.

[saotjess22]

@captainortega agreed

[Zurby]

@bluesacoustics not sure why simple means a solo isn't great. im not saying that this is one of the best solos ever, because i dont think it is, but to think that the difficulty of solo determines how good it is is a pretty short sighted comment

[joshandbrittany123]

Brilliance!! Quite arguably the best guitar solo ever...

[DrunkLahey]

It is the best guitar solo ever, no argument.

[megatonydeath]

@DrunkLahey there are oh many arguments. lets not be one sided here. But Stone Gossard is one talented mofo. one of my favorites.

[bballgangsta9]

@DrunkLahey yeah it is a good solo, and great song, but its not even in the same category as the comfortably numb solo

[Barros1992]

Best guitar solo ever? I don't know what songs are you listening to, but this is not the best solo ever! I love this song, but i disagree with you

[atzerix]

why is this tagged as mariah carey? oO

[DrunkLahey]

HAHA! You were looking for Mariah Carey videos!

[atzerix]

lol not really :D

[badassmastermax]

BURN!!!!!!

[DrunkLahey]

WTF...

[PabloMaffioli]

make me fries

[30873184]

Great Song.

[JasonCourt1]

This and State of Love and Trust. PJ are the most amazing!!

[schusselam]

Every time i listen to this song, I have tears in my eyes...

[wikarmu]

I was on concert last year, and i know one thing. They are 16years older but still have same passion, feelings and hart to music like years ago. i love it

[DrunkLahey]

Absolutely they do! PJ4LIFE

[mikemak13]

ah yes. The best song ever to have no discernable lyrics

[vicodinman09]

cant wait till its here

[projectspillman]

gibson musicain maker

[Gerhard999999]

So schön!!!!!

[DrunkLahey]

So schon, indeed!

[river691972]

for sure

[pearljam756]

can anyone tell what kind of guitar mikes using here... gibson?

[blakevickrey]

that's a Taylor

[ShredWithMe]

reminds me of Little Wing. probley reminds everyone of Little Wind. lol...yeah dude

[BigDaddyRyz]

Little Wind? Never heard it. :D Nah dude, both Hendrix and SRV are amazing, little wing is a -great- song, definitely agree. The beginning resembles it for sure.

[pap2k8]

how come he doesnt sing the original lyrics? apart from "i dont know whether im the boxer or the bag" and "canyou see them, out on the porch, but they dont wave"

[ikeano29]

he wasnt happy with the original lyrics. they were just put there to fit the music!

[Terrorizzzm]

they like to improvise in all their shows.

[danielricheyjames]

the best song ever made! x

[nickroiz]

sorry clicked wrong one :) i dont desagree

[roirefael]

I LIVE PEARL JAM!!!:)

[verocat1247]

I love this song, and reminds me of someone very special... :D

[JeanQphot]

nice lyrics song!

nice sign and clear sound vocal!!

4ever Pearl Jam...
