Pearl Jam - Baba O'Riley - Reading Festival 2006

[cbcnate]

Wow. Pear Jam is terrible. They had a good tempo.. And then they started going way too fast.... Garbage

[ZelenaBananaa]

tooo fast omg

[fluoresceinstb]

do you happen to have the intro to this song? I am looking for this too. Thanks

[pronface1]

i was there that night & they blew my mind away!!! i cant wait to see em again in manchester

[mowdowndafaces4]

Of course, they'll never be The Who, but it's still good nonetheless

[Melensko]

this is full of fail

[sisisinonono]

finally i fund the song!!!!!! im so relieved now..and to say the truth to me is better than the original from the who...sorry

[DefLeppard1994]

they are laying way too fast no offence but The Whos version is way better I mean I like Pearl Jam but The Whos version kicks ass.

[jaygill111]

perhaps you should try reading the comments on this video?

this has already been discussed, it's is a very very rare thing when any cover is better than the original and saying that the original is better never really needs saying as it's obvious.

and the reason it's faster is because it's live even the who play it faster live, most bands play their songs faster live.

but going back to what i said at the begining this has already been said and discussed.

[mrskeithmoon]

actually the who couldn't play it faster than studio live because they had to stay with the synth track since there was no keyboard player in the early days.

[pdiddy4444Dickhead]

Hes absolutely right, this is an absolute crap cover and a bloody insult. also pdiddy4444 is a fucking cunt moron cunt

[sara301]

I was there too - seeing Pearl Jam was possibly the best live act I've seen (yet)

[freshboy187]

Dude I was there. Smack at the front, pushed up against the barriers, singing along like a fucking madman. That was without a shadow of a doubt the very peak of my existence.

Reading festival is the one good thing about living in Reading.

[Jowea]

Agreed, it's the coolest place on earth for one weekend a year, other than that it's bollocks.

[jaygill111]

read back through the comments you'll see this has already been discussed,

also i have been a fan of the who for over 20 years and been lucky enough to have seen them and and this song live.

[raymondsong]

shut up dude.

they didn't try to cover baba o riley,

cause they already did.

no one's saying pj's better either,

of course the original rocks this.

[ViableCalifornia]

its a tribute, you stupid fuck. theyre not trying to prove themselves better than the original.

[Dequeen]

ye these guys got a lot more honor then limp bizkit he made a better cover using stupdi effects just to boost his career.

[takethatutwat]

rubbish camerawork, better audio than video

[jaygill111]

christ! is that what you do for fun? wade through random videos on youtube and critique them? lol

I like most use this website to put up video's i have taken while out with friends so i can then share them with those friends.

[jaygill111]

of course the camera work is rubbish it was the the end of a 4 day drinking marathon and i was shitfaced and standing way back from the stage.

i imagine whilst i was there drunk out of my skull and havong a great time you were telling some random youtube member their dogs nails need clipping or somthing after viewing one of their videos.

get a life donut.

[VioletSpanxx]

Hahahaha...I know the feeling....didn't get to see them as i passed out in my tent after 40 hours straight. thanks for filming. you going this year too?

[jaygill111]

yeah but not camping this year as we do the V festival the weekend before and back to back festivals with camping the last two years really takes it out of you and i can't get time off work and will be going back to work the day after this year where as i usually have the week off to recover.

[VioletSpanxx]

Maaaannn if only I had the money for back to back festivals. That's one of the cons of being a student. Admittedly I do get a month to recover though haha, so I suppose that compensates.

[jaygill111]

who you looking foward too most this year then? for me it's Eagles of Death Metal, Red Hot Chili Peppers, CSS, Bloc Party and Interpol

[VioletSpanxx]

RHCP, interpol, arcade fire, noisettes, the young knives, operator please...i detest kate nash so will avoid her like the plague. she seems sweet though.

[jaygill111]

fuck i forgot arcade fire, no way i am missing them saw them there two years ago they were excellent. i like jamie t and jack penate but thats about it for that whole LDN scene for me.

i'm more looking foward to V tbh mainly because of primal scream, happy mondays, basement jaxx and dizzee rascal. that and there is about 40 of us all going. lol

fuck i got to be up for work in 4 hours, it's too damn hot!

i'll catch you later, take it easy.

[VioletSpanxx]

Hahaha take care mate. (Has a month long lie in)

[DeadTermite]

actully there is one exeption to the classics coverd are worse, bob dylan typically when some one covers him its better.

[Who5150]

does anybody have the version that shows the band upclose and such of this same concert. It used to be on Youtube and isn't anymore.

[jaygill111]

i think you are speaking of the BBC footage of the gig

you will be able to find it on bit torrent and filesharing programs such as soulseek and limewire.

[me24546]

i thought that song was called teenage wasteland

[rolexinbob]

god ignorant ppl like u r my pet peave.  this song is not called teenage wasteland and there is nothing to suggest that it is. just cuz they say words in the song doesnt mean thats the name of it. if that were the rule then every rap song would be called "fuck" or "bitch"

[jaygill111]

the lol indicated sarcasm sorry :oD

it's only ever classics that are covered and as such they can never be bettered, though some come very close such as seu jorge covering life on mars by david bowie.

[jaygill111]

lol.

really?

you think so?

[cathyh22]

Well of course. They do it very well but the original is always better. I bet if The Who did a Pearl Jam cover it will not be better than Pearl Jam 's version.

[cathyh22]

The Who's version is better!

[laurenski004]

it is a good song!!!

[christullick]

this was the highlight of the whole weekend, the most amazing experience ever.

[smoothshift]

Such a quality cover, nice to see someone uploading video they shot rather than from the tellie, was a wicked gig...

[hypnoticgaze]

cant believe i missed them!... the sound quality is pretty damn good on this so thank you very much for putting it up.. even tho its slightly depressing knowing i missed them.
