U2 & Pearl Jam - Rockin' in the Free World (Live in Hawaii)

[conandan]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! U2 and Pearl Jam singing Neil Young! A very nice job on recording this!  You certainly had a great spot! Does anybody know what Bono's lyrics are about his daughter (I think!) here?

[craigdad2]

WTF when did this happen? Awesome

[realgungho]

2 great artists.

[Greenespace]

Winning!

[beadreader4]

[Foppa921]

It's amazing how different these bands are, but how great they sound together. Keep on rockin' in the free world.

[killer505152]

THAT KICKED MAJOR ASS! U2 AND PEARL JAM FTMFW!!!!!!

[jinseatown]

EPIC

[Pequod12]

Billie Joe Armstrong showed up on stage right after this song. Cool show.

[bort269]

@Pequod12 yep, and I filmed that too!

[greendayandu2rule]

@Pequod12 other way around

[bort269]

@greendayandu2rule yes, of course... my bad!

The encore was "Window in the Skies", "The Saints are Coming" (with Billie Joe), "Rockin' in the Free World" (with Pearl Jam)... all of which I filmed and posted up here.

Then they closed with "All I want is You", but my SD card was full by then :-(

[greendayandu2rule]

Did you record the full show?

[bort269]

@greendayandu2rule no, just the encore... didn't have enough space on my 2GB SD card

[DudeFuckingSick]

This is one awesome combo !

[blachubear]

U2 & Pearl Jam together? Dam, why this show didn't come to Chicago?

[mwlinder99]

Did Bono make up his own lyrics?

[surfingbumpkin]

@mwlinder99

at least some of them at the end :)....but two great bands paying homage to the great man of canadian rock/folk/grunge says it all, eh?

[RideMyBMW]

"We love the Edge!" XD!!!

[DBoggin]

[nitch003]

We love the edge!!!!

[CUDDLES55]

Love this version, has a rich sound to it

[VIxVIIIxVIxIII]

PEARL JAM+U2+CSNY.....what a concert that would be!

[PJ92SOLAT]

@VIxVIIIxVIxIII What's CSNY ?

[bort269]

@PJ92SOLAT Crosby Stills Nash & Young

[llllleroy]

[ollivier74]

[39chevpickup]

[US2ROCK]

I love these guys ... the band U2 and Dog Savanna are the bands that I like to hear! Viva Rock!

[ty1on77]

[wdizz1]

Nearly as good as the real thing!

[Beatlecrazy1]

I LOVE THE EDGE!

hehe

[erinbee13]

Eddie's "barritone" really did make Bono work hard there didn't it. Love these two men dearly!!!

[erinbee13]

SIMPLY BREATHTAKING

HOW I LOVE EDDIE & BONO

U2 & PEARL JAM (with all of my heart & soul)

IT COULDN'T POSSIBLY GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS <3

[skarath]

This is pretty much what I'm looking for when I buy a U2 album.

Edge needs to stop holding back and just go for it.

Everyone wants to see the Edge kick ass and take names... but he finds a way to go soft.

[meddleatpompeii]

Great tour....

[MikeFazio09]

This was an awesome night! I was there with a few guys from my SEAL platoon and that got us in to meet a bunch of famous people. Aside from these musicians, Pierce Brosnan, Pamela Anderson, Kid rock, Bill Gates (hah), and a few others were there. We knew the guy who was leading the FBI detail that night and he got us into their posh ready room. I'll never forget it.

[Jorindevil]

Look at Mike while he's jumping and look at Edge.. Hahah Edge is such a quiet guitarist XD

Zennnn!

[xEmAxLoveSxTHx]

WoW! What a great match!This is so fucking awesome!!

[MsWhatsit2ya]

Pearl Jam + U2 = [Speechless]...[/Speechless]

Great version

[ArturodeArcor]

[Arghier]

pearl jam + U2 = what the hell could be better?

congratulations to those who were there that night.

[hypernovanebula]

@Arghier I agree man and with the added bonus of a great rock track by the man himself Neil Young. I have recently met Daniel Lanois and went on to score backstage passes to U2's 360 tour in Toronto. Needless to say, both were amazing!!

[freddy333ful]

@Arghier Pearl Jam + Neil Young.....that was a performance at the 93 MTV awards.

[bonavox11]

@Arghier

Pearl jam + U2 = Win - Win situation .. !

[colinmccubbin]

[sanchomurphy1]

I love that eddie has to take his singing down a notch so he doesn't drown out bono!

[Anarchi23]

hahah! SO TRUE :D

[RepScottsvegas]

we DO love the edge!

[deckfitz]

The Edge is God! :P

[fewertz]

Eddie and Bono delivers a strong voice of the whole world......real rockin'.

[Revtheresalister]

This show kicked ass.

The best concert I ever been to. Aloha from Hawaii.

[mattk311]

this had to be one of the most incredible shows ever

[CMORGAN14]

Was at this show. Amazing show. I met Eddie Vedder on the north shore the day after the concert. Was an amazing trip...

[modeo92]

Wow, this is rockin' indeed. Would've loved to have been there.

[clabor74]

I was there, 23 hours of flight from Italy only for this show. Unforgettable night!!

[koolcuul]

wow!! if this is true then you are a real fan!! hehe i thought that iam a real fan but you kill me hehe! i took a flight to argentina only for see them!! in the 2006! and mexico too! i did camping 3 days before open the sales tickets!

[kiaganga]

this tune so rockin meens more now than ever u2-pj-ny tell it as it was!!!!!

[konkeykeykon]

I was at this show and I have to say Ed's vocals sound even BETTER live than on his CD's U2 gave a good show as always, I guess since I was only 13-14 didn't really realize how lucky I was to see this concert, thanks for posting this

[gioravered]

Pearl Jam are famous for giving a high class live concerts.. They once diclare that this is their goal..

you were lucky :)

[torquemada1974]

TOP PERFORMANCE!!! Thanks for sharing

[DEADHAWK076]

I don't really care for the harmony in the chorus, but besides that, this performance is top notch in my opinion

[mauicruzer]

was at this show. Got anymore vids from it. Was a magical night in the islands.

[bort269]

just this, Window in the Skies and The Saints are Coming with Billie Joe (click on More From: bort269 on your right)

[cdforshee]

@mauicruzer I bet that was indeed some show, mauicruzer. WOW. Rock 'n roll royalty. Did they play the whole show together or did Vedder and McCready step out on stage for a cameo?

[bort269]

@cdforshee Pearl Jam opened for U2, then Billie Joe came on during U2's encore to perform "The Saints are Coming" (see my video of that) and then Eddie & Mike came on for this song.

[cdforshee]

@bort269 Thanks! I just watched it. That's pretty cool too. I like collaborations/cameos like that. I found this video because I watched Neil Young-Pearl Jam's '93 MTV Music Awards appearance.

[voutespancar]

We Love the Edge

[bort269]

WE LOVE THE EDGE!

[ErnieDanzigYEAH]

Almost 20 years later, and Neil's song is more vicious than it ever was. "Freedom" is a perfect album.

"A kinder, gentler, machine-gun hand." Like father, like son.

"NEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL­LLLL!!!"

[Rrobbi90]

Yeahhhhh!!!!

"NEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL­LLLL!!!"

[u2jams]

I am surprised they didn't blow a fuze!

[kevynbarron]

U2? Pearl Jam?

Neil.

[allseevid]

Thanks for sharing!!

Great version of Keep on rockin', I'd love to have the lyrics.

[nadni1]

the best 2 bands ever... u2 were my favourite band when I discovered pearl jam

[aktorod]

:))

[drezmagic]

U2 is my favorite band in the world. Pearl Jam is my second favorite. To see them play together is unexplainable for me :)

[bort269]

that is exactly how I felt at this show!

My second favorite band of all time opening for my all-time-favorite band?! How can this get any better? Oh wow: they are playing together for U2's encore!

[drezmagic]

I think I would have died at that concert...

I am a U2 fanatic, and a HUGE pearl jam fan, i wish I was there.

[bort269]

yeah... that's pretty much how I felt!

I was shocked that I was able to film this clip without imploding! ;-)

[manton2y]

What about Pearl jam, U2 and Neil Young playing together.( my favoutite bands) Probably this will never happen. I hope they do some time. In my head they do already , but it sounds a bit chaotic now.

[ollieroks]

i'm jealous and love you at the sametime. i wasn't there but you did an awsome recording. thx

[1432jer1432]

I was there..............AWESOME CONCERT!!!!!!

[thealphaco]

I was there...I must have been standing pretty close to whoever shot this because this is almost exactly the same digital stills that I took... thanks for letting me relive the memories!

[SEERFAES]

es la onda!!!!

exelente cancion con 2 exelentes bandas...simplemente asombrosa version

[sessionprincess]

aaahhhh...my two favorite bands in the whole world!!! :-)

[afdtk]

My wife and I were there (nosebleed upper deck, to the left but rocking nonetheless). The last shows of a U2 are always great, but this was epic, largely because of PJ and EV -- Bono: "I don't know how to end." EV -- "I love the Edge!" Everyone -- "We love the Edge!" Great! EV knocked a hole through the tamborine!

I agree with o75steve though that Bono overlapped his political agenda (which I support) too much *into* the music. It almost ruined 'One' for me this time 'round.

[steve76xps]

saw the original of this 3 months before in toronto.That time pearl jam played all the music and bono came on stage to join them.( u2 hung around after doin 4 shows in toronto)

hes actually learned the words since.....and made up some good ones of his own( his impro in toronto was funny)

[bort269]

man, you lucky bastard! I bought that show from PJ's website just for that awesome version and all PJ's U2 covers that night!

"I'm here to see Pearl Jam... they're making me a believer again... I'll never say never again... they're making me a believer again... in rock, ROCK, ROCK!" ---Bono

[Tomymacaroni]

Bonoooooooooo !!!! hahaaaaa!! you can truly see who's the man !! :D

[Sameit]

December 9th, 2006...I was at this concert just off the screen, to the right, loosin my mind at this point...freakin fantastic...Long Live PJ and U2!

[rattleU2]

Amazing! :D

[niminissy]

spechless!! WoW

[Gordpatmac]

freakin eh! this is nearly a 20 year old song n it gets more relevant every day... and with eddie and bono singing.. truly beautiful!

[keepitstiff]

ed smashed it

[brainspottingrock]

i'm sure it was a wonderfull cevening!

[o75steve]

The hands up together has a slight wee tiny bit too much of pathos for me.. great song though, as always, the political load it gets now just gets a bit too much for me (eddie vedder rocks, bono's voice isn't fit for this kind of rock songs..)

[bullettheblue54]

I WAS FUCKING THERE

[WATEVAH101]

good together!!

a real good partneership guys!!

[maxlazaro]

Eddie and Bono, best voices in rock!

[larrysgirlU2]

This was almost as good as being there...getting goosebumps watching it again for the first time since the show...Larry's drumming was spot on!

[Wollny]

great

[karleenvintagequeen]

that was bloody amazing

[mhelm71]

you are right bort269.  i had this cofused with the australia version.

[mhelm71]

I think that is Matt Cameron drumming

[bort269]

actually it was all of U2 (Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry on drums) and just Eddie Vedder & Mike McCready of Pearl Jam on stage... but it was bad-ass!!

[twm24]

Thats probably the best drumming by Laryy Mullen Jr! Thanks for the video it was sweet!

[bono907]

i agree and its surely larry, he likes play on crash/ride...
