    Pearl Jam is at a point where other bands cover their music, as PJ has done for others like Uncle Neil, the Who and on and on. I wonder if the die hard, long time fans of those bands like PJ covering their bands stuff? If it opens the PJ door to new fans, I say go ahead and cover more!

    too many closed minded pearl jam fans..its truely amazing

    i dont prefer to listen country at all but respect that this band admired the boys enough to cover one of their songs and what if this song had special meaning ( as in went thru a similar situation) to her or one of the members of the band?

    seriously quit being self righteous

    Honestly, I'm a fan of Sugarland. I personally love her voice, I mean it's obviously not for everyone, but they've got some catchy stuff.

    Unfortunately my wife is a country fan and I occaisonally and unfortunately have to hear this woman attempt to sing. It makes me cringe and always reminds me why I am glad to be from the NE corridor. To have this voice come in and try to invade my side of the music spectrum makes me sick to my stomach. I am now going to go throw up. Repeatedly.

    I got a call from one of my buddies that he was going to this show and had an extra ticket. Not being a huge country fan I didn't know what to expect. Ok I knew what to expect, a lot of rednecks and a lot of beer. So I took a chance and went. It was actually a fun experience going to a show where the only song I knew from 5 acts was a Pearl Jam cover! Not a fan of monster stadium shows though, the sound is not great.

    Anyway I took an iphone vid of it. Not the best but you can tell in a few places that she didn't butcher it. It's def not on par w/Ed but as someone else said, I too have heard worse PJ covers.

    I actually thought it was pretty good, but I'd been there since Noon and they came on after 5 so everything sounded great at that point ~ after the preceding hours in the beer garden. Sorry about the shaky hands, it was hard enough to stand up!
