The Beatles and Pearl Jam

Being, as many, a fan of both PJ and the fab fours, I'm curious to see just how many references our guys have made through their art in honor of the british band.
I'm talking covers (from the early You've got to hide your love away),
but also references into PJ own songs' lyrics ("..all you need is love", LBC),
and eventually artwork (Ames MK 2014 poster).

Me and a few other friends are starting a little gallery project dedicated to the Beatles and the way they have influenced all sort of other bands, and we're curious to see how many references can be found among Pearl Jam's world as well.
Can you guys help? What comes to your mind?
Peace!
Amir

    I imagine there are lots, first that comes to mind is the early covers of I've got a feeling and most recently Ed covering Rocky Raccoon with Jack Johnson.

    That's not really a Beatles' song, is it?

    They did not write it but they did record it.
    words seem so out of place.

    I thought it was. Huh, just looked up and it was a soul song.
    If the Beatles thought it good enough to cover that is good enough for me. ;)

    Ed covering John Lennons "Imagine", "Give Peace A Chance", and "Gimmie Some Truth". Ed also sang "Hey Jude" with Neil & others at the Bridge School in 2004. He has also covered "Blackbird" and "Her Majesty" a few times at solo shows.

    ^^^ Best Present Tense performance I have seen imho.
    “I honestly grew up listening to the Stones more,” McCready told MTV News at the Outside Lands Festival. “But that doesn’t mean I don’t love the Beatles.”

    McCready cited the band’s harmonies as a musical development that really inspired him, and he also gave a nod to a classic piece of video. “The concert footage on the roof was probably something that was integral in my growing up.”

    The footage in question is the surprise show the Beatles gave in January 1969 that marked the end of the recording of Let It Be and ended up being the band’s final public appearance together. McCready did learn one profound thing from the Beatles. “My manager says you never want to release anything against the Beatles, because they’ll always win,” he joked. “And they should, because they were phenomenal.”

    George's son Dhani on stage with them. Ed talks about the first time he met him when he was a little boy, at the Bobfest rehearsals. Ed and Mike performed "Masters of War" and George sang several songs at Bobfest, so they were on the same bill as a Beatle!

    You only have to listen to All those Yesterday's to see hear the influence of The Beatles. Also I am very surprised that PJ have never played Liverpool especially as there is a new arena there. Two of the greatest bands ever who kind of have had the same career by being massive then shunning the limelight to keep creative control & not becoming repetitive like most bands are.
