Well sort of...

My sister recently got married and she was searching for unique music to play during the ceremony. She wanted to walk down the aisle to an instrumental Yellow Ledbetter, but we were unable to find anything not recorded live. I convinced her to walk out to the ending of Guaranteed.

Was just wondering if anyone else has ever done anything like this?

I think Guaranteed is beautiful, and it was a great song for her to walk in to.
(Yes, I know its not Pearl Jam, just Eddie)

    Picture in a Frame. It´s Tom Waits´s great song and Eddie plays it very well..

    no, the title of the song is Guaranteed, and it is from the Into the Wild soundtrack. I am almost positive Vedder wrote it because he was nominated for a Golden Globe for writing it.

    The other guy was just suggesting that Picture In A Frame is also a good suggestion for something similar...

    Different song, ya dig.

    Eruption?

    haha, okay that was a lame joke i know.

    i'd say Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley (no i didn't get my idea from American fuckin' Idol!) only because I lvoe this song so much. My brother gets married in Sept. and i want to play this in front of everyone...it most likely won't happen...but, it'd be a cool song in the moment...

    it's a total heartwarming and beautiful song.

    For future reference, the Yellow Ledbetter studio recording is on the B-Side to the Jeremy single which is relatively hard to find. It is also on Rearviewmirror and Lost Dogs, the compilation albums...easier to find.

    Aww! Guaranteed while walking down the aisle sounds perfect! :o:)

    My bro gets married in August and i'm looking forward to getting some PJ played... although the circumstances may be a little different...
    Drunkenly harrassing the DJ to play Alive so that at the end of the night, when granny's going home and the lights are coming on, I can be stood in the middle of the dancefloor shouting "OHHHH I AAAH OHHH I'M STILL ALIVEEEEEEE" with wedding cake in one hand, champagne in the other and no shoes on cuz although they looked nice, they fecking well hurt!

    classy, no? :cool:
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    I am getting married May 31, 2008...right when they have a nice little break :-) Sending them an invite...hoping they will come. That would be WAY better than playing their music while I walk down the isle :-)

    I agree on the Buckley tune, great stuff! Not sure if a studio version exists, but how about Throw Your Arms Around Me . . .

    I will come to you in the daytime
    I will raise you from your sleep
    I will kiss you in four places
    As I go runnin' down your street

    I will squeeze the life right out of you
    I will make you laugh, and make you cry
    And we may never forget it
    As I make you call my name as you shout it to the blue, summer sky

    And we may never meet again
    So shed your skin lets get started
    And you will throw your arms around me
    And you will throw your arms around me

    Examine the lyrics carefully, I'm not sure this is the song for a wedding.
