Pearl Jam - Little Wing Maggot Brain - 070995 - Milwaukee WI

[pearljamporch]

for them chosing to play this covers... they have a great taste in music it's no wonder why PJ is thegreat band it is

[kingreese79]

Nobody played it better than Eddie Hazel. I like Pearl Jam but this is kinda disrespectful

[SDMFAnthony01]

@kingreese79 its called paying homage dude. fuck.

[ploc777]

two stones. that way you destroy me, pearl jam

[stidu]

I wish I can see Frusciante jam to this before I die

[FeSSeR]

27 deaf people don't like this masterpiece

[Bulldog22031]

@FeSSeR no... 26 people have just never lost someone close to them.

[fezzard]

We have a combo class where we play rock music, i suggested playing these songs... the teacher denied and proceeded to agree with the hot chick sucky singer in playing lady gaga/beyonce telephone... I wanted to punch my teacher in the face... and I wanted to fuck that tasty little redhead... but I definitely wanted to kick his ass... fuck YOU TIM!!!!!!!! you don't know good music even if it fucked you in the ass!!!

[woodchuckmool]

wow. im dumbstruck. this is amazing

[jimmyfish68]

TO BAD JIMMY HENDRIX PLAYED THIS 30 YEARS BEFORE PERL JAM

[tigerbloodrock]

@jimmyfish68 had he not been born so soon., and also not pissed his life away so soon. That way he could melt minds with 2 1/2 minutes of what is the one of the greatest songs ever... then if eddy hazel; hadn't also done the same, he could shatter thoughts with his 9 minutes, and Then they could sit back and watch Mccready take those pieces and make them whole in a way that if they happened to die right after, they'd know their lives had purpose.. See mccready stomp. stomp mccready stomp.

[arjuntheonly]

Any one found the tabs for the solo.. This is brilliant..!

[cheppelin]

omg

[henriquefabraga1]

Mike Mccready is a true Guitar hero!

[prckoooooooooo]

this is my longest orgasam I ever had!!!

greetings from croatia!!

[jasso65]

My wife kicked me out of the house, when I first listen to this nice gig, from the guitar player en the sounds described exactely how I was feelings, I´m not adicted to pane, but the feeling was too intense and nobody understood that, but this guitar was my only paradise of tears and made me feel like a falling angel.

[kyropter]

This is just beautiful. Too bad Eddie messes up the lyrics though. But Mike takes over...

[Tombstone34]

@kyropter well they are jamming, he's probably improvising

[dirtydogspearfishing]

As good as it gets......literally....

[ValtallicA214]

@dirtydogspearfishing nothing more to say!! Other than CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!!!!!

[srjndots]

I see, I've got most thumbs up. And I'm still listening to this even after an year.

[musicgetsmehigh1989]

ok...i take back ever saying, and i mean ever in the recent past about greatness of a song, live video etc etc, this is quite literally(in a completely non-corporate way) THE SHIT! screw eargasm, this is beyond, way way beyond

[TheBadkamer]

i wish i could add it to favorite more than once

[SydJoyce]

it makes me cry.

[AirRaidAaron]

Wesley Willis, Jimi, Maggot Brain, Pearl Jam, Chad Smith... this video has everythying. Will watch again. 

[alexwilsonNC]

Why did he say "Play something called Maggot Brain" and then play "Little Wing"... They are from Seattle aren't they... Just like the late great James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix.

[gshdrums]

chad smith just makes this song, matt cameron is great, but chad just has the feel in this

[Butlerbkoolmom]

McCready is amazing. The band is truly one of the best live performers ever.

There are two bands that give me: #whogasm, #pearlgasm

live amazing committed to bring everything they have to their audience.

Thank you!

[jhmrr9]

"It was later reported that Mike was hospitalized after the two Milwaukee shows due to dehydration and exhaustion." that's what happens when you try to cover Hendrix and Hazel in the same night...

[alfalfa19]

DANG what a great rendition, gives me chills!!

[DrHobbes88]

Vedder reminds me of Jeff Bridges in The Fisher King here...

[fredlinne]

saw PJ twice, this guy seemed like he wished he would rather be somewhere else, (MM)

surly...but i had no idea he could play the best song ever!!! long live Eddie (not Vedder) but Hazel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrisford82]

elhkgr qrgh.kfgvadsf asdfgvajsh.asdv sikjh.sdoicvas.diljfr asjdfhi.fihj.sfhw.liewqjngu

sorry had to wipe the cum off the keyboard

[Funkdogg]

we will never know, but i believe that if jimi did not die he would make collabo's with funkadelic. i really think so

[BollocksUtwat]

@Funkdogg Jimi was getting into way more funky stuff by 70. Surely he would have been a major factor in the growing funk scene. As I understand it his intention was to do more collaborative large band style things much like George Clinton did with his massive P Funk band.

So I think your belief is well founded. :D

[Funkdogg]

@BollocksUtwat ;) yes i had a very cheap cd with jimi tracks on it that i never knew and there were some funky tunes on it. but the greatest thing about jimi to me is that he made such a great impact on the world in just a couple years. that's one of the reasons why he is the greatest

[MrFluffay]

If you could materialize the sound of this video, you would create God.

[nathanrmorales]

Mike is man.



[sergioj17]

@nathanrmorales *Mike is the Man.

[cjay070370]

what can you say nobody can do it better ......

[StraightPunkEdge93]

i can never decide which Little Wing cover is better. Stevie's or McCready's, there both so damn good.

[Rungalaad]

Epic :)

[icoulddieforyou9390]

Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers (Chad on drums), Hendrix and Funkadelic in the same track... This has to be some kind of an orgasm.

[fredlinne]

eddie is kind of an ass'...maggot brain is my fav. of all time..ev does not give it its proper due...no surprise...kind of weird eddie hazel shares the same first name...

[PoeticJustice05]

@fredlinne Eddie's not an ass, he just doesn't give a fuck what you think, or me, or anybody for that matter. He's a genuine guy actually.

[TriumphT140]

My favorite band covering one of my favorite songs of all time, thanks for this.

[Projectmesa]

This song turns me on when m high =)

[AirRaidAaron]

Love the Wesley Willis shout out at the beginning!

[MotherAliceSoundJam]

Theres only one Mike Mccready....Mike gives Pearl Jam that Peal Jam sound....Long live Mike Mccready. In my opinion the most under rated guitarist of all time, Hats off to Mike Mccready.....

[nathanojo]

@MotherAliceSoundJam what about eddie hazel being the most unknown/underrated guitar player

[MotherAliceSoundJam]

@nathanojo , very true, mike does something to me though, its damn hard to put into words, i just know he in my opinion is the greatest....

[SoulmateErezIsrael]

play as if your mother just had died....

[KingaJaka]

@SoulmateErezIsrael one of few who get this reference!! nice!

[Chevtherev]

Voice on an angel, Eddie Vedder.

[giventofly1789]

0:34 "Surprise"

[j30345]

man there is something about chad smiths drumming that makes the jam so much better. he know hows to bring up the climax at the perfect timing.

btw was this taken in 1995?

[rawkgawdez]

@j30345 -- he is the funk man. he is the funk. thats why.

[MotherAliceSoundJam]

@j30345 Matt Cameron....Seriously, born to drum with the Jam......

[TeddyBalletOfficial]

@j30345 Apart from the fact he fucked up so many fucking times in Little Wing? Don't get me wrong, I love chad smith as a drummer, but he most certainly is no Matt Cameron

[j30345]

@TeddyBalletOfficial this is a jam. there is no score or music sheet to go by and it was an encore performance

[sergioj17]

@j30345 Encore perfomance or not, they made it one best PJ live songs ever!

[FuckPeople91]

would have been an awesome concert to go to on mushrooms

[MotherAliceSoundJam]

@FuckPeople91 would have been a great show regardless....mikes playin is like bein on shrooms....legand,

[TitaniousGrubbs]

23 people have bad aim.

[KaasKiller]

I just had to listen to it a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th time, this is heaven to my ears.

[dsmalf]

2 OF THE BEST GUITAR MASTERPIECES EVER.................. PERIOD

[mikzemaj]

@dsmalf damn right.

[Taligreen80]

wow just when i stopped believing. Dreams do come true. why the eff didnt i hear this before tonight.

[samuelhorton50]

this is the hottest video jam that i have seen & heard .i love it ,and so does alot of funkateers;this is hot::

[muzac43]

This so good, great guitar work, thanks to whoever recorded it , and thanks to youtube for bringing it to the public.

[mattmitchell71253]

This motherfucker Does It Justice.

[Roel9331]

IS this MIKE MCREADY ??????

[BSC621]

@Roel9331 The one and only

[daviJames]

... More than just tore it up ...i can lsn to this non stop... Best of Pearl jam's Guitar performances ever!

[DollreeMappEsq]

@LedZeppelin362 Eddie Hazel died in 1992.

[findaterra]

Boring.

[chungazrevenge]

pearl Jam sucks not like Primus sucks but they really do suck ............

but this is a great cover Kudos

[anesthetized8]

@chungazrevenge And who doesn't suck in your opinion?

[LobotomyMadeEasy]

And he should stick to it, his blues shit is miles better than the other shit he does.

[LobotomyMadeEasy]

God damn, Pearl Jam do the fucking coolest covers. Mike can play blues guitar like a motherfucker.

[Patchankaman]

these are 2 of my favorite songs

R.I.P. Eddie and Jimi!

I hope you 2 are jammin' together now

[pro3ac]

thank you !

[harvtron]

Why doesn't Mike play like this now? Why don't they try to play more blues? Oh well I'll love PJ no matter what they do!! :)

[SfBozz1]

thats the worst perfomance of maggot brain ever

fuckin whore

[muziqspumpin]

@SfBozz1 lol u r a dick:)

[giventofly1789]

@SfBozz1 you must be new here.

[ancalagog6]

...wow...amazing...

[bcdalessio]

Amazing, just it...

[manueletchart]

GREAT version!

Incredible Incredible! Chad is The Man... It`s funny to see him blond, in the OHM era.

I like how they put them together.

[skygrottian]

This is not a Jimi Hendrix song FYI. The first part is, but the second part is Funkadelic's Maggot Brain. If you read the story of this song, the lead of Funk told the guitarist to play like his mother just died and he played this Jimi inspired piece.

[pballinstar]

whos that on drums? doesnt look like cameron and i know thats not dave. i would say krusen? but i thought he left pj before 95...

[stovocore]

@pballinstar says in the description up top that its Chad Smith from the chili peppers

[pappas99]

both Jimi and SRV would be proud. Pity Mike can't play as good as he used to, these days he's all about playing fast and entertaining the crowd

[DaCrazyEight]

@pappas99 How bout eddie hazel? one of the greatest and most underrated guitarists to live wouldnt he be proud?

[slashhudson]

@pappas99 its chad from rhcp

[mrhankeyfan]

The Wesley Willis shout-out is great, too.

[LucidFruit]

always gives me chills

[Nar2theMAX]

Mike Mccready is most righteous... most righteous indeed

[bobwellenmellon]

When you see and hear the old songs by the hip younger musicians it says there is hope for good music and rock-n-roll. I'm sure Jimi would approve!

Bold as Love!

[nippyrain]

these guys used to practice in a garage two houses away from me

[j30345]

@nippyrain really? what state did u live in?

[purplefonch]

Did y'all notice @ 6:50 that's actually Stone Gossard playing those blues licks!!! I always thought it was Mike too! Stone is naaasty and underrated!

[Bulldog22031]

This rivals Stevie Ray Vaughan's version. wow.

[donkukis]

year?

[66SmUrF66]

@donkukis its in the title, 95

[markitymark90]

The most underrated guitarist of ALL time.

[flyman]

Mike fucking slays this shit..........

[HJubb]

the vocals really give this song it's edge I think, but it's all amazing

[srjndots]

At 7:54, I had multiple orgasms.

[GetHighOnATeton]

@srjndots definitely the sickest moment. You should check out Jimmy Herring with Widespread Panic on this same song -- I saw them play it in Wyoming this summer. Herring is a master.

[mrsoulco]

@GetHighOnATeton this is true!

[CharizardYoda]

I think MIke is incredibly underrated. Everyone was saying that Slash was the next Jimi back in the 80s. The truth is, if anyone was going to be the next Jimi, it was Mike. Check out Yellow Ledbetter and Alive by Pearl Jam. McCready is amazing.

[amentjam]

Eddie Hazel <3

[fmjiceman]

the perfect blend of Jimi and Funkadelic I got to say thats just dannndy

[AltManMel]

amazing... shivers running up and down on the back...

[GrungeOfThe1990s]

No one ever gives Mike the credit he deserves. This just goes to show that he is an excellent guitarist.

[asrod]

I wanna hug Mike for this cover

[jonataneriksen]

Yeah man! That's a proper lenght for Little Wing! : D

[11181001]

Love the sounds, I can listen to this stuff all the time.Watch out for new artist BRANDON JAROD. This guy is the next superstar! Release OCT. 2010

[USBP464]

Its not a perfect match to Maggot Brain, and it doesn't have to be. The guy has somes kills and he made the song his own (to coin a phrase)...and live. I think Eddie Hazel would be proud. Great Job!

[raphael13377]

i know its almost fuckin sacrelige to say this, but this version of little wing stands way way up there on the right hand of god, man! jimi meet ur son, mike! eternity fuckin meltdown.... :D

[fredlinne]

surly eddie as always...saw PJ several times and never thought Mike (also surly) could pull it off...must suck to be a rockstar

[fredlinne]

surly eddie as always...say PJ several times and never thought Mike (also surly) could pull it off...must suck to be a rockstar

[quanta3636]

not up to eddie hazels standard...

[giventofly1789]

@quanta3636 you're not up to pearl jams standard.

[srjndots]

intense and epic.....

[stovocore]

haha, was that a wesley willis reference at the beginning? rock over london! rock on chicago!

[ZappaOwnsYourFace93]

Why isint music like this now?? the guitar is slowy dying...

[Alkali64]

@ZappaOwnsYourFace93

That's the spirit... -_-

[notchjohnson1]

i wish they would still jam like this. fuck man i miss these days

[edgecator]

That guitar is crying.

[clegorburu]

Im having an orgasm right now...ooohh boy

[mikehowton707]

amazing



[thefatpiggytail]

Mike is the greatest guitarist of my generation. no one can touch his shit

[SupersonicMojoJojo]

5:42 - 5:50 and 6:42-6:50 are phenomenal.I bow to u. But the Maggot Brain performed in montreux--in 2001 i think is by far the best version i herd but thats just me:)

[notchjohnson1]

@SupersonicMojoJojo who did it in montreux that was good?

[RasheemSouth]

Fuck Eddie....wow man fuck u....Eddie Hazel will always be the best....bow down fag caveman!!!

[moneybagsjones]

DUDE! Wesley WILLIS! LITTLE WING! MAGGOT BRAIN! WTF?!?!?! sooo bad ass.

[alfalfa19]

McReady has a LOT of soul

[JASONHOSEY1]

fuck eddie! but damn good version

[freakonaleash1215]

wow, this is fuckin' awesome

[yoursaxman]

the audio is fantastic for a phone... one of the best Maggot Brains i've ever heard!

[jrcsgtpeppers]

wheres chad?

[jmizzleforizzle]

@jrcsgtpeppers on the drums

[jrcsgtpeppers]

@jmizzleforizzle i dont see hime

i should be seeing a big blue bald guy

[evacloakie77]

Wow. I am an avid pearl jam fan but i didn't think they could pull off hendrix. The boys did a great job. thanks for the post

[Kimcee4younme]

These guys turned Maggot Brain into something different.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. It was wild.

[mykkrae]

I love the Wesley Willis quote in the beginning...

[SlyHobbit]

Art.

[homicidelab]

maggot brain...fly on eddie hazel...

[texzikom]

Bet no guitaris can ever mix the skills of Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel, but it's a nice try though!

[ltbrazier1]

The first time I heard this rendition was on LSD. My god, I almost creamed my pants when Maggot Brain began. It still sends me shivers.

[cormraa]

@ltbrazier1 hardcore must've been very intence!

[88Jman1]

Mike fuckin Mccready...

[gemevieya]

One of the best guitar solos i've ever seen.

[ekelley1013]

i have ALWAYS wanted to see a video of this performance!! I've had it on disc for years. Thank you so much for posting!!

[funkitup4ya]

I do believe thats Chad Smith on the kit! too bad its not for a louder song.

[grcontrol07]

yall ever noticed the similarity of this and black

[bjnc1972]

love the medley. Hendrix mixed with Funkadelic tribute. I get the feeling that if Jimi had lived he would have collaborated with George Clinton and the family. they are definitely challenging his influence on the licks on maggot brain

[genxxxersize]

Little Wing, my favourite Hendrix, Maggot Brain, my favourite Hazel! Kinda kewl hearing them together, thanx for posting dude! :o)

[ccfire63]

he aint got shit on hazel or hendrix... chad smith rocks tho

[Freddebasf]

@ccfire63 he's better than them!

[fredlinne]

best version (cover} I have ever heard...Saw PJ in concert several times and got to admit I did not see this coming from Mcready

[criarumacontaexato]

so awesome omg =)

[CrazyDan1984]

mike fuckin tore it up

[drauglintuor]

stunning..

[KorshKorsh87]

this is pretty good, but it just shows how much better jimi hendrix was than anyone one else, the intro to the song and his little wing solo are extremely sloppy , the intro into maggot brain and the rest is pretty on point tho

[scottelliottmusic]

@KorshKorsh87....I'm not hearing this 'slop' you are referring to...its all pretty damn good....

[lookout157]

I was plesently suprised to see this combo in a Pearl Jam encore. Well done, both of these songs are classics in their on respect but Maggot Brain steels the show from about 3 minutes on. I heard a quote about MB by George, "the guitar solo is a black man pouring out his soul". Good job Mike!

[notlhe81]

Este cabron esta bien pedo, que chingon, un solo masacrante

[joecool3535]

shutup who is the singer of this nice song, he cnt, and sing bader then a karaoke singer what have many beers ex. dnt sing!! better the guitar solo!!!.he ruines this great song from jimmy hendrix

[ChelseaHysteria]

Obviously.

Pearl Jam has goddamn fantastic taste in music. I also love them for their principle. Nothing like a band that loves music. Seems like there's a helluva lot less of that these days.

[blagoivel]

What else can you play if you love Pearl Jam, Jimmy Hendrix and Funkadelic all together ;) ? Nothing better for sure :)

[AlexCluster]

stunning. love the Maggot Brain

[thiagorasseli]

Mike McCready rules! Jimi should be proud...

[funklover247]

not just jimi but eddie hazel too!
