Pearl Jam - Who You Are (New York '08)

[tiikooberdr]

i love this band and this song with all my heart!!! watching this video . . . honestly brings back tons of memories! thanks so much for posting this!!! just fantastic!!!!

Matt's a great drummer...and to a degree, more "technically" skilled than Jack - but just doesn't play this song with the same "feel" that to me, makes this song. He's playing straight 1/4 notes on the bass drum rather than the triplet pattern that really sets the groove on Jack''s original performance. Watched this right after the Berlin '96 version - can't hold a candle to it!

..."take me for a ride before we leave"...powerfull and so simple!

[bizzarrogeorge]

F*CKING Awesome.

Have you ever noticed that Pearl Jam speeds up their songs in concert? They are like wicked fast! What do you think?  Listen to the album version at the same time as the concert version....

[getup2727]

@sljouzo12 yea its a bit faster but like all bands play faster live

[PHATJ1111]

BEAUTIFUL performance. The vocals get stronger and stronger as the song develops and Vedder finishes it off beautifully. Well done Pearl Jam, well done.

[dmaradona10]

Wow. Vedder has great vocals in this song. Love to see this band evolve as musicans.

[nathaliaciuca]

Despite our opinions if this version is either great or terrible, it is so wonderful to see the band having such a great time playing one of their most beautiful (and underrated) songs. This should definitely be performed more often!

[sljouzo12]

@nathaliaciuca - totally agree...one of their best songs....!

[guekman]

@nathaliaciuca so true! I 've discovered this song a couple of days ago, and i can not stop listening!

[tournesol1971]

perfect memories. love this band!

[anico21]

matt cameron is awesome but jack irons owns this song.. I dont think anyone will play quite the way he did.. just like soundgarden.. no one can play those tunes like matt did

[bluerose1981]

In my opinion they are the greates band in the world.. The sound of all is great in all the live..And Matt is a very good drummer..for me the drum is wonderful in his interpretation..

[halszkak123]

Eddie never sounds bad, even when He sucked

[stratmad]

I MUCH prefer Jack's drumming on this song, whether we're talking the studio version or live, which I think is superior to what I am hearing here. The centre piece of this song is the drums and MC's interpretation, which to me sounds rhythmically simpler, just doesn't do it justice. Just my opinion.

[roxicet30]

i think eddie personaly sounds off key and horrible here ...even the watchtower from this show sucked ..wth oh well i guess even eddie vedder has bad nites just like us ..peace

[jocorocket]

I think that's because he has some background singers that weren't that strong.

[CourtyardPigeon]

The guitar riff in this song is amazing

[NGSameit]

just...plain...awesome!

[micayl]

Fantastic!!!

I'd kill to see this song live, one of my favorites. Didn't know they still played it.

[drummingwild]

same here..they rarely play it!!glad they started belting out leash again too

[snancy2008]

One of my favorite of No Code

[TheGargantuanSock]

Much, much better than the studio version... this is majestic.

[Pearl10]

Fantastic video.

[melloreefer]

great song... great release... killer band!

thanks

[michaeljamesmccabe]

Thanks bro.

I needed a little "Who You Are" tonight.

[dmaradona10]

No Code is one of their best albums.  Underrated in my opinion.

[jucabe]

Totally agree with you. The only thing I don´t like in this cd was the Irons´ drumming style. In my humble opinion, Cameron is a better drummer.
