Hello, I'd want to ask if someone remembers the name of that acoustic song that eddie vedder played in a concert organized by mtv in the 90's (I saw this video on mtv very recently). It's a cover of a not very known artist... I don't remember his name, I think it begins with the letter "O", but I'm not sure. Anyway, this song talks about revolution, peace and freedom. A very beautiful song.

Thank you for helping me.

    this might be completely wrong, but a guess,

    maybe
    "talkin about a revolution" by Tracy Chapman?

    No... it was a song by a man... even eddie wedder said that "no one would ever remember a song by (the name of the artist)" but it was a very beautiful song. I think one of the best acoustic song eddie vedder played in his carrier. I don't understand why no one ever mentioned this song, neither on tv (but this is quite normal...) nor by the fans. This is sad. Bye.

    Doesn't ring a bell. When I'm trying to find out the name of a song I usually try finding it on you tube first. Otherwise I think theskyiscrape or giventowail have a pretty good data base of pearl jam covers. You can try there and see if anything pops out at ya.

    You saw a video on MTV? This whole thing was clearly a hallucination of some kind.

    Maybe Patriot...just a guess. By Steven VanZandt. Or more notable by Jackson Browne.

    Here's to the State of Mississippi? Just a guess.

    I'm equally amazed by the video seen on MTV statement. Who knew?

    I didn't see the MTV version, just on Storytellers. I didn't remember the author's name, but it sounded like the song he was asking for.

    Damn, we aren't the Library of Congress around here. We try. See? :)
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    Nono, believe me. I saw it on mtv gold (italian satellite), it was an amazing concert they did for mtv in the 90's. A live masterpiece, one of those u can't see anymore nowadays... Some songs were simply enchanting. Eddie Vedder amazed everyone with this cover song. The public was in delirium. I hope to find it somewhere. Youtube is a little bit saturated by its many videos, it's not easy to find the right one. Bye

    Mmmm... I've tried to look for it on youtube for months without finding it. Anyway, I will try the two users u suggested me. Many thanks. Bye
