Best Pearl Jam Cover?

It is definitely "Love Reign O'er Me", when I first heard that song, that I already knew and loved, it blew me away ! AMAZING, as good as the original version, maybe more intense though !
Eddie's voice is....WOW...it's GREAT !

And before that song was released it was Baba O'Riley, I think .

You can really feel Eddie's admiration for the Who when listening to The Who's covers by PJ !
It keeps the emotion and the beauty and amplify them, there's a huge respect of the original piece, it's cool !

But actually every PJ cover is fantastic, I Believe in Miracles is great as well !

    Wild-Eyed, Crazy Mary

    Honorable mention: Any Who cover because he sings such a bad Daultry. (And Jeff does a mean Entwhistle)

    ("Bad" as in right on, just to clarify)

    Love Reign O'er Me hands down. Just watch the VH1 Rock Honors version. Unreal.

    4 MINUTES 38 SECONDS OF MUSICAL EXCELLENCE. VIEW WITH FULL JOY.

    Seriously, brace yourselves,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFdGDlZcHmo

    D'yas ever see the cover of (Ivan the engine driver, soon be home, a little one while he's gone***Whatever the name of THAT Who song is!), I think its BONUS MATERIAL on the Live from Concierce (sp?) DVD?I don't even know who the band/band members are, but Vedder is singing.It's AWESOME! Seems like a very hard cover to pull off, but "they" & Vedder make it sound excellent...Here it is: and it's "A quick one while he's away" and the band is "My Morning Jacket".Alright!!!!!.......

    Here's part II of that Journey into musical excellence of the previous post.

    Note Lyrics below.

    MY cover's been blown:

    VI. You Are Forgiven

    DangDang DangDang DangDang DangDang

    Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
    Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
    Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
    Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello


    I can't believe it
    Do my eyes deceive me?
    Am I back in your arms?
    Away from all harm?

    It's like a dream to be with you again
    Can't believe that I'm with you again

    I missed you and I must admit
    I kissed a few and once did sit
    On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap
    And later with him, had a nap

    You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (ad lib)

    You are forgiven[/i]

    what was cool about that performance was the two guys who walked around after asking what were everyone's highlights and universally everyone said they were blown away by PJ ... a lot of whom were not necessarily PJ fans to begin with ...

    anyhoo Love Reign O'er Me at MSG1 was fantastic - i really don't see how it could have been played and SUNG better than that night ...

    Love Reign O'er Me...I don't think it sounds that good when they do it, though I can imagine it's a difficult song to play. They seem to have a timing problem with it sometimes. Last Kiss and Soldier of Love aren't particular favorites either. Getting tired of Baba somehow, I always though they should try Won't Get Fooled Again.

    The Kids Are Alright...was that a one-shot in Seattle 2000? I always loved that song and they did a good job with it. Pretty sick that they did REM's Talk About The Passion at some point...they definitely should do that again. Wrong Child Tag in Daughter was amazing, too. Nick Cave's Ship Song was surprisingly good. But the real favorites are Leaving Here and Crazy Mary.

    Not sure this counts because they never finished it, but "Ship Song" from Redrocks in Morrison Colorado. Or Maggot Brain with Chad Smith.

    ...."Falling Down" was a nice follow-up in Colorado also. I'd love to hear any of these again.
