    As an old Who fan myself though, nothing here comes close to Pearl Jam’s electrifying performance of “The Real Me” and “Love Reign O’er Me” from the great rock opera Quadrophenia. PJ absolutely shreds these two songs, and Eddie Vedder makes a good case for being probably the only guy on the planet, outside of Roger Daltrey himself, with the voice to do Townshend’s songs justice. Backed by a full compliment of strings, Vedder hits every single impossible scream on “Love Reign O’er Me” note for note. This incredible performance literally brought tears to my eyes.

    yep :)

    Great Review, Love how they give Ed so much adoration and admiration. And I strongly agree with it. I don't know anyone who do the Who better than Vedder's voice.
    Here’s a question you might need to ask
    What’s self destruction and how can we last?

    "I cannot stop the thought of running in the dark.
    Coming up a which way sign. All good truants must decide."

    Great review! Thanks for posting!
    Ed and Jeff were perfect. As a big The Who fan I'm so proud of my favourite band (Pearl Jam).
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.
