Pearl Jam Betterman Live at Reading Festival

[joshuacmarr]

It seems that Italy was much more enthusiastic with the sing-along part, maybe because that concert was specifically for Pearl Jam....idk. Love this song, though!

[kubaw90gmail]

i love a girl and she is with another man and she dont love him she is with him becouse she think that she cant find a betterman ;] i love this song as much as i love diana

Not sure how the whole Pearl Jam vs Oasis debate began, but comparing Oasis to PJ is like comparing a Kia Rio to a Ferrari. Sure, some people like Kia, but come on. The only reason anyone knows Oasis is because meaningless pop rock BS is what radio stations and MTV prefer to promote to the empty headed masses. Pearl Jam on the other hand made it without any help from the media because of the power, meaning and passion behind their music, rather than singing nonsense like Wonderwall, wtf is that?

[faber1codadilupo]

@JohnTico80 love your comment.

[grantox78]

love oasis but they come nowhere near pearl jam . PJ are just a different class with a true legend as a front man

[shanehf2006]

to clear it up, PJ is the best band ever and Oasis sucks ballz.

[GasPanic08]

I never thought the day would come when Oasis would come to head-to-head with Pearl Jam. I've seen plenty of Oasis vs Stone Roses, Blur, Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys debates; but never an Oasis/PJ Debate. Their music doesnt compare. Gun to my head, id say Pearl Jam are the better band and I mean that in every sense of the word: Pearl Jam as a unit are more versatile and experimental . Oasis though were a very important band and made classics - Slide Away. Ateotd such an argument is irresolvible.

[zona999]

@GasPanic08 Please. Oasis is catchy pop, nothing more. Insignificant lyrics, unimportant, if agreeable, music. Pearl Jam make powerful songs-music and lyrics. Can't possibly seriously compare the two.

[GasPanic08]

@zona999

I think you missed the thesis of my argument: Pearl Jam and Oasis can't be compared. It's foolish to compare the two. Your reply basically reiterated what I'd previously stated, but with your opinion on Oasis. I think everyone should comparing the two.

[PressStudio]

See you in a couple day ! Hard Rock Callin !

awesome

[StanisJimbo]

damn i love matt cameron.. when it matters, he fills just like bonham :)

[CHOCPIG2]

@StanisJimbo Ditto!!

[tristessa56079]

The crowd was loud, you can hear it on the mp3 of this concert. For some reason it doesn't come through here.

[webbsr1]

Damn right! I was there. Seriously the best performance I have ever seen. and that is saying something!!! Awesome.

[Big5XL]

Some women out there have some pretty high material expectations about what kind of man they would marrry. Before I got divorced I used to think of that Linda Ronstadt song SOMEONE TO LAY DOWN BESIDE me. Maybe that is what you get in life someone to lay down beside you.

[FarmACDCFreak]

in the mp3 music you can listen the crowd much better

[EFCath]

The set was much better here than at Leeds.

[brodieboy87]

I remember watching, wishing i was there. Going too see them for the first time next month in Manchester!

[mistertomo123]

@brodieboy87 I went to the Manchester gig. Mint or what? Just a pity they didn't play betterman there. Black was the crown jewel of that show, i reckon. When I looked at the london setlist from the following night, i was momentarily tempted to think I would have rather been there. BUT HEY... I've seen PJ live!!!

[brodieboy87]

Absolutely loved my first show in Manchester. That my friend is a real show. Only downside was had to wait a while for official bootleg to be released!

[dkrasney]

@brodieboy87 go to a U2 concert if you want to see a perfomance of a lifetime.

[brodieboy87]

@dkrasney u2 is a very important band. In fact, on the day i was born u2 played a concert in rome

[peu239]

people there sing too low... could barely listen to them

[Slingblaze07]

jared u watchin pearl jam hahah

damn right!

[Bskiz1978]

who's the undead keyboardist?

[sfklee]

Boom Gasper! Boom!

[flossierock]

i was here - it was truly amazing!!!! =)

[sandreasmaniac]

i believe i would like to be there

[kjanosiban]

telcasteristic realistic ....brutal past.

Pearl Jam is one of the most important rock bands ever

i only had 1 chance to see them live at the no code tour spiced with KFOR mattafakaas.

J from

Hungary

[Metaltrent6]

Eddie Vedder Rocks!

[goodfella2145]

i'd kill to see this band live, would kill

[andrerockmetal]

I like PJ.... Vedder rules !!!!

[jaredballanger]

there aint no lame crowd at a peal jam concert, shut the fuck up.

[Dazzo60]

Trust me the crowd was wild I was there. As goofy4ever07 said the crowd was just not miced what you heard was through his mic. The place was a mad house. 3 encores I would say that is a good indication !!!!!

[neonlpt]

fuck. it's absolutely outstanding! PJ must come to Portugal ASAP.

[DavidMoli1]

are you mad? is awesome

pearl jam is a life style

[m3csk4]

Damn lazy ass crowd!

I bet Eddie was disappointed in them

[goofy4ever07]

They did not mic up the croud, they just focused up on the instrument and the vocals. Its just how they recorded the show. Trust me, im sure every PJ crowd is nuts.

[cadreTotalitarianism]

Hey, AT one point eddy was nearly in tears about how this was probably one of the best receptions the band had ever had, they ended out playing 3 encores beacuse of the crowd, trust me, it was amazing!

[cadreTotalitarianism]

In fact check out:

Pearl Jam - Iron Man !

[m3csk4]

ok. I'm convinced :)

[Yosh2006]

Reading crowds are immense, the crowd sang about as much as Eddie.

[Oneilius]

wow the crowd sucked! They didnt chip in at all

[wilfthestarfish]

@Oneilius I was in that crowd, we all sang the words at the beginning. It was bloody great and definitely loud and appreciative. It just hasn't come out on the recording.

[craigthered]

Best band of leeds/reading festival

[PsychedelicPsuzie]

BEST band period!

[Colts0fan]

awsome version!

[robertk2007]

how come pearl jam is a good and oasis is so bad?

[darthmoop]

@robertk2007

simple: Oasis sucks

[sacrifyce4]

@darthmoop

if youre gonna diss on em, u gotta do it da right way. i call them beatle wannabes.

[darthmoop]

@sacrifyce4

thats exaclty what they are ! I just didn't wanna waste my time to go in further detail.

[buddyjesus87]

@robertk2007 this made me smile because I'm a huge fan of both :)

[WojuBoju]

@robertk2007

Ehh... what?

I like them both but there's no way Pearl Jam could be better than Oasis, sorry.

[nirvanarocks82]

@WojuBoju Oasis does have quite a few good songs, but I do prefer Pearl Jam.

[HammernHeads]

@robertk2007 If you have to ask, there is no point in explaining why because you're a hopeless case.

[irenkaa]

@robertk2007

how come radiohead is so good and oasis sucks like hell !

[Blackmetal9000]

@robertk2007 I lol'd

[bdassvids]

@robertk2007 lol you heard the shit the gallagher brothers said about eddie vedder? jealousy is a bitch

[Crazyhomie77]

youtube sucks

[jeff419g]

If it sucks so bad why ya watch videos?

[littleblaga]

I love Pearl Jam live concerts cause even though they play their songs in a very similar way every concert (of course you can't completely change a song from show to show), it's always in a certain different way. Some details, the emotion, the faces, are always different.

This time, the drums were faster, but so what? Who cares?

It's just perfect, anyways.

And Eddie's voice, as usual, amazing.

Guess he was born for doing what he does.

Love him and them all together.

[robertk2007]

actually pearl jam changes the arrangement of their songs almost nightly. most good bands do

[melloreefer]

i have loved this band since it started... admire each member collectively and as individuals... eddie certainly was born to do this and does it very well!!

[twofoursixoh1]

I just saw Pearl Jam for the first time this month, and I was completely enraptured by the music. I've always been a fairly big fan, but to see them live, I now have a bigger appreciation and love for them. Who cares how different they played the music from what was on the CD, that's what a live performance is all about--experiencing the music and the artist.

[WertzuHun]

The Pearl Jam always had the best drummers, but I also think Matt is playing too fast, and I don't like it. But Matt is very very talented.

[ShaneSGC]

They've been playing that song forever. Let them mix it up.

[spurslegends]

Questioning the ability of matt cameron? Ha ha some people are just pretty god damn stupid... When you make your own music as good as this you'll agree that playing your own songs whatever way you feel like live is up to you, its not up to some ignorant fan who thinks he knows more than the musicians who have been doin this for there whole lives... Real fans dont criticise the members of the band... No respect man...

[PeonSanders911]

Too fast?

Thats why hes a drummer in one of the worlds biggest bands, and you comment on it on you tube.

I think he knows what hes doing.

[adrian1707]

aaahhhhh, this was bliss. One of the best Reading performances of all time.

[jundoog1]

From another drummer..... Its just fact, when they play with Matt Cameron, they play faster. Don't know if it is Matt playinbg too fast and pushing, or if they as a band decided to start playing their tunes quicker. But if you get all those live CD's they released a few years back, everything is quicker. Even Flow is off the charts!

[angus4463]

I agree. As a drummer, they are a half to beat too fast.

[ShaneSGC]

I have to agree even though I hate too..

[mendajakichmaloxD]

love <3

[burtonbryant]

Fuckin' A Christifar, goodman.

No such thing as a band playing their own song too fast is there...

I really need to see PJ live, heard so many good things.

[socialist4life]

It truly is an experience, the way the entire crowd is drawn into the music.

[christafari4]

too fast?!?....its called feeling , vibe, riding the snake, playing from the heart!!!!...music teachers cant teach that....its in you...i was there and beleve me its was just fine.....admittedly i didnt have my metronome a copy of the original and my text book and pen with me to take notes but dont worry it was awesome.....tell your music teacher to stick it mate.........PLAY FROM YOR HEART!

[natedoug420]

Its true, too fast, my music teacher would be freaking out right now trying to get them to slow down! =)

[blowntoza]

thats why ur music teacher is teeaching and these guys are one of the greatest bands in the world.... they play from the heart

[MaggotSoldier666]

PJ is the greatest band alive! but why is it since they got that new drummer matt every song has to be sped up? they dont sound nearly as good live now.

[donaji0209]

me fasina pearl jam wow!!!

[spacehopper1983]

i saw them at leeds festival and so gutted they didnt play this song

[lilbeav410]

i dunno what the hell it is about when ed says "oooohhhh..." after the first chorus that just seems so magnetic!!! It's like it lulls a listener into the song and you HAVE to listen to the rest of it, I friggin' love it!!! Long live PJ!!! :-D

[solobr0s]

awsome lyrics idk how eddie does it

[Snospmis]

I cut the sleeves off've my HMV Ramones shirt :)

[bgjae]

cool

[bgjae]

PRO GRUNGE

[bgjae]

Very nice song

[toho11]

She dreams in color, she dreams in red, cant find a better man... yeah!!!

[guitarman13]

I never saw this song live. And i dnt like Vedders Guitar Tone.

[eltino8]

fuck off you prick

[shefield11]

i agree. what a douche you are, guitarman.

[Ldzeppelin729]

I suggest you know what ur talking about before you comment.

[guitarman13]

I didnt mean anything bad by this....i just am not a fan of his guitar tone, i think hes one of the Greatest musicians of all time. and Pearl Jam is my favorite band so i mean...calm yourselves

[TheAudioVengefuls]

Golden youtube rule...dont bury an artist here even if its a small detail...I have learned! :OP

[guitarman13]

I think i learned haha

[MezzPaul]

I agree, his guitar tone is really not all that great. Rearviewmirror shows this as much as this does, I wish Stone or Mike would set up his amp for him :P.

[guitarman13]

hahaha yeah thank you lol

[galko00]

tonight i'll see pearl jam in leganés (madrid, spain). Ooooh, here I go!

[jaygill111]

and yet they all seem to wear those bloody ramones t shirts. lol

well to be fair when a band doesn't tour a country for 15 years and just decides to take a back seat and not really chose to be in the limelight then you can't blame people for not knowing of them that much.

some prefer it that way too, look what happened to nirvana and kurt being virtually cannonised by the media and fans. lol

you can't blame pearl jam for not wanting any part of that and shying away from it.

[jcfuzzwtf88]

yup ok i agree with that. i was never blaming pearl jam, they ROCK! :)

[shefield11]

what's wrong with the Ramones?

[jaygill111]

nothings wrong with the ramones, i was refering to people who wear thhose t shirts sold in virgin and HMV and know nothing of the band itself it's just seen as a fashion statement and not a musical one.

[shefield11]

ok, i agree. although something tells me that Eddie is a true fan. he doesn't do many things to fit in with the mainstream crowd. (that's why i think if Cobain was still alive, those two would've been best of friends over time.)

[droptheleash0]

Johnny Ramone was ed's best friend, an he's had a personal relationship with all of them going way back

[jaygill111]

oh yeah you two are so marvelous in your knowlage of how great you are and how shit english music fans.

lol

[jcfuzzwtf88]

i dont think you are so good in your knowlAGe either heh. im not criticising english music or english people, i live in england. people in my age group just have very narrow musical tastes.

[jcfuzzwtf88]

OMG i love Pearl Jam. i was at reading too...the whole set was just totally overwhelming. sadly music these days just doesn't compare. everyone in the UK listens to boring shit.

[enfieldcc4eva]

i no!! i live in england and half the people i know havnt even heard of pearl jam!!! i feel like handin out cds sumtimes!

[jcfuzzwtf88]

hmmm yup people need to be educated heh. we need more people like you and me :D

[hackhead123]

i totally agree however in good old grimsy where i live there is quite a fanbase, that i mainly started when my uncle used to play "ten" to me when i was a young'un i also educated people about staind and powderfinger

[jcfuzzwtf88]

well i'm moving to grimsy then (i'm in cambridge, tons o ppl listening to boring indie/emo crapness!)

[hackhead123]

s-weet btw i meant grimsby everyone has good musical taste ad there are many great bands here like the brightlights and the huskies. come! the more the merrier

[8pearljamfan8]

BEST BAND EVER

[jtlm06]

this was one of the best songs of the set

[miskino]

i was there singing along.

[tcf774]

i second that

[michaelmahi]

one of the greatest songs ever!
