    It's YouTube, people like Katy Perry and Ariana Grande pull millions and billions of views. PJ fans hold out for blue rays.. :)

    Why I felt need to pull out stops and go to both MSG shows, had a feeling would miss something special if I didn't.

    Because we have the bootleg and don't necessarily have the time or need to sit in front of YouTube videos all day. Maybe, when I become 18 again, I'll take up YouTube to fill my days.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I was there in person it wasn't that great live so I don't feel the need to re-live it.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    I was there. It was awesome, but I never felt the need to watch it on youtube. Years ago I got my pj live from youtube but now it's pj radio so I guess that's why. Pearl Jam just isn't on my youtube radar anymore.

    To me it was pulled off exactly like a guest appearance should be... Sting came out and sang and then he got the hell out of there.

    One of my favorite covers, love the walk on/walk off by Sting. I found the audio mix PJ released just killed the crowd. I prefer to watch some of the audience videos of this where you get a sense of the crowd excitement. So maybe others are viewing those others too..

    I'm about 5K of those views. :) Been chasing that song for a long time and it was a dream come true. Never imagined that Sting would be there when it finally happened. I can't see that video enough. Thanks again for extra ticket Grace!
    I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love.

    This is the correct answer. :giggle:

    Could you though? :)

    I think the answer is that this is a video that only die-hard PJ fans would be willing to search for. And in the grand scheme of things, there aren't that many of us. And obviously some of the die-hards didn't even like it. I was there, thought it was super cool, and think I watched it on youtube once. It's not that crazy to think it has a low number of views. It certainly didn't make any mainstream news when it happened (nor should it have)

    Meanwhile, the original "Catch me outside" video has nearly 25M views. We live in a weird world.

    Im sure it was pretty cool for Jeff to play bass on that song with Sting there. I got to see The Police on their reunion tour in 2007 or 2008... loved every minute of it. :smiley:

    Useless information factoid... Sting was in a band called Last Exit before he ended up in The Police.

    i thought it would go viral. It's like the Unthought Known video which still hasn't reached a million views yet.

    I had no idea there was even a video for UK; maybe thats one reason why it hasnt had a high amount of views.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
