Eddie Vedder - Stuff and Nonsense (Auckland '01)

[KhrysalisFly]

God blessed my life ever eternally when he allowed my ears to hear the magnificence of Eddie Vedder's voice .. life would be incomplete otherwise.

[jadescape]

[unclesam21]

magic

[number1pearljamfan]

i am pearl jams number 1 fan

[wceazza]

zero dislikes...so it should be!! If you don't like this you need your ears checked :)

[wceazza]

viva la vedder!! gives me goosebumps everytime

[Elbereth84]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Made me cry so many times ... sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. But it always reminds me of one thing: True love exists ... and that's no stuff and nonsense. :)

[trampismat]

Coming from someone who remembers Split Enz performing this very song and someone who loves Eddie Vedders voice .... I'll say this:

"Stuff & Nonsense" is a beautiful song and both artists here sing beautifully ... but I'm not sure about Tim's harmonies and I'm not sure about the middle 8 ... sounds a bit dodgy to my ear.

But isn't it great that Eddie Vedder considers Split Enz as one of his all time favourite bands ... kudos aplenty :)

[MrNigelPreston]

I have never heard the original version and obviously have respect for it. But from where I stand, if you are calling this ruining a song, then that's what I pray to do everyday of my life. Ruin songs like Eddie is doing right here. I would give anything to ruin a song like this. Wish I could ruin things like this. Wish I could be a ruiner.

[shanerouqui]

beautiful...

[youdube01]

how to ruin a great song......Tim should have known better.

[twilightermhtskrpn]

Finally! I tracked it down! :P I heard this version of the song while I was at Borders today :P haha, I was like this song sounds familiar...hey! stuff and nonsense, except not Missy Higgins' version...gotta track it down :P Love it, amazing voice :)

[shagawze]

One of the great songs, one of the great voices.

[Crrrazytim]

[ampallang7]

When i hear music like this, i know the worlds alright eh and coming across it as a kid, wish i liked the audiences more haha or they me, it's kinda like wat r u doing here but that fades with grand sounz and kudos 2 Eddy 4 his reaching through and thanx Tim! oh all u's utha fullas and fullesse's

[HellHammerX]

Awesome version, you can hear the passion in his voice

[oodaks]

Its Tim Finn. He wrote it. Ed accompanied him on it so its not a "cover".

I was there on the Monday night and Friday night.

It was at the the St James theatre in Auckland.

Its a small traditional theatre venue, capicity of about 1,200.

When Tim and Ed played this song, the crowd was simply struck silent as Tim and Eds voices and the piano honestly filled the air and everbody there completely-the word can only be beautiful.

It a was privlege to be there with Neil and his invitational band.

[yellofury]

+1 its Neil's older brother Tim playing the piano

Tim wrote and sang this song on the Split Enz album "Frenzy"

[jerryfalwellsociety]

..and how can it be a 'cover' when the guy playing and singing at the piano wrote the song!!?!

[RealMashira]

..and how can it be 'wondeful' when eddie vedder is totally screwing up the song?!

[jerryfalwellsociety]

Who said it was 'wondeful'!?

[jerryfalwellsociety]

Its probably been mentioned before, but this is TIM Finn not Neil Finn - may be correct your description for what its worth..

Great version of a great song BTW.

[bindi22]

My favourite song from one of my favourite bands with my all time favourite singer. EV, you rock!

[PankraziadeInka]

Desobediciendo mis propias decisiones empecé a amarte hace más de un año, sin embargo tú decidiste q no fuera para siempre. Hoy empieza el proceso de olvidar, asi q por última vez te dedico está canción y t escribo: te amo mucho mi amor..

[toolooselitrek]

Stunning! Absolutely beautiful! He takes the music to the heart and is deep inside of the song! I can't handle all this great heartfelt song....pressure on the heart and brain! Eddie transcends into the abyss and feels his way around in the dark....music first! The image appears much later.

This is the real and good stuff!!

Thank you!!!!!!

[ogre1213]

1:55 wow

[justaphasebizarre]

A beautiful and haunting song.

[BelieveYouMe]

Beautiful! Ed's voice is perfect for this type of harmony. I wish he would do duets with women like this.

[xeineze07]

Eddie is great!, i love the way he lives his life and the way he express himself through his music, even though this is a cover... it´z amazing how he interpretates it!

[latinbabexoxon]

im in love with this song (:

[kdog314]

not to slight any artist but take jimi hendrixs' guitar, take keith moons' drums, and take geezers' bass...give me eddie vedders' voice as the greatest rock and roll instrument of all time

[darceyensor]

agree 200%

[colletgrad]

it is sad, but oh so true, i think this kind of thing has happened to all of us at some point.

great song, brought to life by a beautiful voice, with feeling and integrity .

[Holyjammer]

Speechless....

Damn, this is beyond great.

[colletgrad]

[colletgrad]

[sukiyaki113]

I never heard this song before, but it's lovely.

"And you know that I love you,

Here and now, not forever

I can give you my present

Don't know bout the future."

A truly beautiful song rendered in a deeply movement, poignant and utterly incredible manner. Just amazing.

[serialk0299]

I couldn't agree more!

[jerinhom]

Beautiful, the combination over the end is wonderful, thanks for posting mate.

[NoRefillsLeft]

What a lovely collaboration . . . especially the harmonies at the end.

And Eddie Vedder is a beautiful man. :)

[colletgrad]

[rdj218]

[AgoniadoStickMan]

[lethe2008]

[epw4edwards08]

Tearsss, thank you Gary xoxo

[mrsjones14]

It's a great song and I like this version very much.

[secondprize72]

prefer missy higgins cover

[tannedstamina]

*splutters* how dare you even mention Missy Higgins anywhere near lords Vedder or Finn?? May you be stricken down with lightening!

[secondprize72]

vedder just sounds like that guy from the carry-on movies. the one who used to say ohh matron a lot.

[rockdat]

missy higgins is a real talent and there versions are different ....his is great

[kcarp73]

Tim & Eddie? Sigh...

Insanely cool.

[jezxk18]

Mobycat, it's Tim Finn on the piano. And he wrote it as well.

[Lammington2]

It's Tim. On piano, singing for the harmonies, and the lyricist. He and Neil don't look or sound that much alike, so it's very easy to tell.

[camh888]

ITS TIM!

[michelledm7881]

I would third that(or 4th that?),but I think gndcd already knows my appreciation,since I've expressed it too many times to count.Nice vid,great quality,the better to appreciate Ed's beauty!Thnx for another great one,you rock!!!

[Moskieto]

I love you

[kdog314]
