McCready was hospitalized almost immediately after this concert for dehydration and "total exhaustion". That's what happens when you try and channel both Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel in the same performance. But he pulls it off in style.
Yep John... Plus he was right b4 that - diagnosed w' Sever Chrons Disease (& givin strong Pain medicine in which Dr's. Back then gave out much easier then now because So many people now abuse them & theres more know Casing the opiates crisis) but thy were giving 2 him & He Says himself having them & heavy drinking made him Act CRAZY prompting his band members 2 have a "sit down" w' him.

This ,and the Forever in Blue Jeans/I only play for $ , was included as an extra tracks feature on a Soldier field 3cd "import" bootleg I bought in like 1996 at a record store... That was the first Little Wing I ever heard mike play and still my fave ...the Gorge Little Wing was great too. Cheers
I was there .....and remember this show like yesterday. Mike BLEW MY MIND, it's like God came down and handed him the staff and said " Show them who you are, and Go get em boy" during this solo. Probably single handedly the reason I've now seen them 34 times. Eddies voice today is a bit beat up from all the passion and energy that he put into all the years of past live shows, but Mike's guitar skills still shine today as they did then. My latest show in Nashville was cancelled due to obvious, but can wait for the reschedule, and hopefully it will be 2021! I need my fix!!!! Glad we got to experience this together...... If even from a far.
You're right Eddie's voice might sound a bit tired now, but us the fans can help him sing them. When he turns 80 and it's just him on the stage with his oxygen mask the fans will be there to sing his and pj's awesome songs.
your right! I just got turned onto Pearl Jam n there is nothing like a Sultry Electric Guitar player....n Mike is killing it here...was up till 1:00 AM listening to this track!!!!!!!!!!!! So damn good its a shame!!! Go Mike...you rock!!!
For about 8 minutes Mike McCready's body was on earth but his soul was in another galaxy entirely. Dude might have just played a dying star or something.
I think Hendrix decended from the heavens for a short period and entered McCready's body to bring this music together. I don't see any other way this could have happened.
Yep eP.... that's exactly what happened. I remember Stone & Ament saying in a video interview once tht when Thy went 2 hear him play for the P.J. lead guitar job That he seem to "at times" had "left them & went off on his own ride all be himself... Jeff said "I really think he 4got we were there!!" Well I See NOW what Thy were talking about. He does- he really gets lost & I for 1 want to close my eyes too & Go w' him. A high Alllll on its own. It's like 4 me it's a Drug all by itself.... 😎 😍 🤗
You can tell a lot about a musician by the way they handle dynamics. When the other guitar solo starts to come in behind him (around 6:30), he backs off and has this sweet supporting tone.
Their dynamic is unparalleled and goes extremely unnoticed. Stone is an amazing soloist, a bit more technical and doesn't delve in as deep emotionally as Mike, while McCready has written some amazing song rhythms but doesn't quite hit the way Stone's do. It reminds me of watching this ua-cam.com/video/kc8H6USGR90/v-deo.html like you've got just two absolute virtuosos on the same stage. It is beautiful.
No one should be surprised, especially if you seen Mike McCready in Mad Season, insane solos!! This performance is priceless!! I'm a big Jimi Hendrix fan and this made me cry with goosebumps!! Excellent job Mike!! I ❤️ Pearl Jam!! Who ever filmed this, thank you!!
Sometimes it seems UA-cam is psychic reading your mind, heart and soul.. never knew one of my favorite groups played one of my favorite songs, and it just dropped by at the time I could use a magnificent 9 minutes. And all the way back in 1995. Blessed
I am so happy to have found this! I was at this performance. Now... I'm not normally an audience member that tries to get a band's attention, I'm pretty reserved most the time. But lemme tell you when this song was over I jumped right up, put both arms in the air, and whoo-ed as loud as I could. The whole band looked over at me, but it was McCready I made sure to lock eye contact with. I lowered one hand down and put it over my heart, with the other still in the air, and mouthed "OMG!". Then I did the Wayne's World "we're not worthy" bow down to him. He looked so effin happy and proud! And Eddie just looked over at me like "Oh yeah? I see how it is." Good god, was this a good show though.
Back in 2000, I had an HD full of these rare PJ recordings. Bootlegs, I think they are called? Dial up internet, 56kb/s. I would leave the PC on the whole weekend, eMule on, downloading PJ mp3. What you got was random, when I got this one, I was amazed. Nostalgia hit now when I found this. I had 700+ PJ mp3, but I lost them. A true treasure trove. Glad to find some of these on UA-cam.
No idea how they just thank the drummer after this performance and move to the next song. I would’ve gave Mike a standing ovation. As well as thank him and honestly ask if he’s okay. Because I know moments I play my best are when I’m completely lost in thought and battling demons. Hats off to you Mike, my brother
I was 5 days and 3 years old when this was played at this gig. found this version about 15 years later here on yt and now another almost 10 yrs later I'm still listening to this clip. love it at keeps me calm when I need a break. 🖤
Definitely underrated: & so superior... Probably the best guitarist in the last 35 years... Put the grunge movement aside... Very stellar, very clean, Specific way of playing that only he possesses 💥🎸
I hope the people there realized they got to see a truly one of a kind Mr. MCcready showed us hes something special. Earns all my respect still to this very day. long love Pearl F-in 🎸 Jam
I was searching for more than 8 years who played this excellent song...just by accident now 12/ July/ 2023..i discovered it's by pearl jam!! Macready is a fabulous lead guitarist!!
As a kid, I searched for stuff to listen to when I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night. I found this randomly and heard the whole song from Chicago live. It was such a random chance that I heard it, because I couldn’t get the station during the day, only at night. But it was branded on my brain. I’ll never forget it. Also, I found it with my alarm clock radio. It doesn’t work perfectly as of 2024, but it actually still works. It’s still my alarm clock to this very day.
Wooooow! This is incredible. I'm seeing pearl jam on spetember 8th and I can tell you it's number one on my bucket list. Can't wait to see all the boys bring the heat! This band saved my life more then once. This performance in this video is amazing McCready really shows this true talent in this video.
This is a time and place that will NEVER be replicated again , One of those moments in history that you will never forget.... just FUCKIN AWESOME 🤘 that was ROCKED OUT
I remember this being famous in PJ circles 20 years ago as one of Mikes greatest performances, and here I am 20 years later not having heard it for probably that long, and my god it still slays! So so good, not sure I have actually seen the video before, only heard it.
Absolutely speechless, what a God Gift send Mike McCready, feels like you are entering heaven! This is Music with a huge M, thank you for this end the endless love for guitar solo!! Age at 68, thank that this is stil existing these days. Pearl Jam for ever ❤
never seen this before- phenomenal- just saw them in Miami last weekend- they still bring it and McCready (short hair now) was unreal. did a whole solo behind his head. i got chills
RIP Eddie Hazel … This video years ago sent me down the rabbit hole that brought me to Hazel’s catalog, and Maggot Brain is life changing. It needs more recognition
Ever since I first heard Maggotbrain on the radio in the seventies, my heart has associated it with the sound of Angels, weeping for the world. This is an inspired song, here played expertly by people who love the song. Thank you for sharing. I wish there was a clean MP3 of this performance, the You Tube sound compress does awful things to special effects and harmonics.
I think this magot brain solo is how we all try and wish to play it.. the way Mike does..ever so effortlessly..so much feeling in it..love it..takes me back 25 years...life saving music!...pj forever!🤘
I was there too.....and remember this show like yesterday. Mike BLEW MY MIND during this solo. Probably single handedly the reason I've now seen them 34 times.

Mike's right up there with Eddie Hazel, the guitarist for Funkadelic and the one who did Maggot Brain. and I'd say Hazel was just a step behind Hendrix, which means Mike may very well be a top 3 guitar player of all time. at least, this is my opinion, which I'm not stating as a fact because I do not want to start musical debates :)
The great thing about guitarists is that we can all have our favorites while still respecting and even totally loving other great axemen. I totally respect your opinion and will not offer who my faves are out of respect of your sentiments.
OMG what a piece of music... and btw on this day, Jerry Garcia played the last concert before his death - another exceptional jammer who was also able to play those vibes from another galaxy. McCready was blowin this little segue from little wing to maggot brain, absolutely stellar performance
McCready was hospitalized almost immediately after this concert for dehydration and "total exhaustion". That's what happens when you try and channel both Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Hazel in the same performance. But he pulls it off in style.

This comment. This comment is as important as this video.
@@FishinPhreak that’s cool.
That’s how things were back then.
What a dumbass comment
Most underrated guitar play ever, especially considering how popular they are, and for mccready to get no recognition is just a shame
the most under rated guitar player is coolio
Well to me he is number one and always will be an he is playing his ass off so fuck ratings true story
haha good one
He's doing lazy unoriginal covers of the best songs in history. His original riffs suit him way better.
yee
McCready I would have to say is incredibly underrated.
And I would say I have to agree like %103948582882 . Good shit eh?
Mc cready and every single member of this great band are more than well recognised.. How you can said that is underrated??... Are you crazy?
Totally I’m from Seattle

Sadly, I suppose there is a little or more of that last guy in all of us probs.
As a person who doesn't understand music that much, I can say that I've ascended to heaven by McCready's performance. Fucking unbelievable.
2024 Still the best cover I've ever known ❤❤
Two of the best guitar songs in history, married in one epic performance by a very worthy guitarist, Mike McCready.
#funkadelic #jimihendrix
Mhmm
Mr. Bays.... Ur So right! He is not only perfect w' a guitar He's sexy as fuck playing it. I just want 2 make love listening 2 it....
I'm all SOUND cloud stream this century. Every little bit. Both (male and female). My dad set my recording studios up for me at age 0.
This ,and the Forever in Blue Jeans/I only play for $ , was included as an extra tracks feature on a Soldier field 3cd "import" bootleg I bought in like 1996 at a record store... That was the first Little Wing I ever heard mike play and still my fave ...the Gorge Little Wing was great too.

Like Hendrix and Hazel both had a hand on his shoulder at this moment
Mccready doesn't need any help.
Me too💭🎸👍✊🏼
Grunge mixed with blues is a cool sound.
Agree.

What a great way to put it! As someone who believes in God and has passion for music I can say you’re absolutely right.
Maggot brain is a state of mind. Free your mind and your ass will follow
Like Hendrix said, "Electric church music"
@@Unister86 I’ll 2nd that

Funkadelic originally. This is a cover.. the best cover

This is one of my favorite guitar performances of all time. Amazing
Eddie does it so good that you can’t fault him for changing up the lyrics a little. I don’t think Jimi would mind.
one of McCready's finest, my god I have listened to this many times and still about jizz in my pants everytime
Incredible. First time I have heard a version like this. Pearl Jam top 10 band all time
this is my actual favorite mash up ever can’t believe how he made it work so perfect, couldn’t be more perfect.
Wooooow! This is incredible.

he's just taking hi frikin LIFE out on this solo .. impressive
Once eddie was done with his world class vocals. It was time for Mike to bear his soul.
Definitely hear some mad season in there! Love it 🤟🏼
This video got me through last year. Lost my dad. This was 2 of his favorite songs. Thanks to whoever posted this.
20 years ago today
Mike you re the best
Mike McCreadys guitarstyle is so beautiful...very underrated
How much I love this voice and band
Man, they look (are) young here...followed PJ from the start. Great tribute to Jimi...
One of the reasons I loved these guys for decades ❤
I see this for the first time and I have no words, this is a masterpiece
I have to come here every now and then to listen and see.
I come back once in awhile just to see and hear the most incredible improvisation … once in a lifetime and grateful it was filmed

By far best guitarist from the 1990s, hands down! So underrated which is a shame csuse i can sit and listen to McCreedy for hours😁👍🥴
It takes balls to try to pull off Little Wing or Maggot Brain. And both? Mike delivered!
Eddie just causally sits down and starts singing! Love him!
What a amazing solo!!! Magic Mike
I think this magot brain solo is how we all try and wish to play it.. the way Mike does..ever so effortlessly..so much feeling in it..love it..takes me back 25 years...life saving music!...pj forever!🤘
Now that's a treasure in video, man, thank you so much for this.

Thank God this was captured.
I was there, love it. Thanks for the memories.
With a last name like VanderMolen I 10000% believe you're from Wisconsin
That’s too rad.... He said they were gonna play maggot brain... Did they trick Eddie? Or was he in on it?
I was there too.....and remember this show like yesterday. Mike BLEW MY MIND during this solo. Probably single handedly the reason I've now seen them 34 times. Eddies voice today is a bit beat up from all the passion and energy that he put into all the years of past live shows, but Mike's guitar skills still shine today as they did then. My latest show in Nashville was cancelled due to obvious, but can wait for the reschedule, and hopefully it will be 2021! I need my fix!!!!
Glad we got to experience this together...... If even from a far.
Arguably the greatest Little Wing into of all time.
Goosebumps Mike, straight up goosebumps. Wow
Mike McCready one of the best guitar and Eddie vedder Singer perfect.I'm a fan of Mike McCready,I Love Pearl Jam 🎼🎸🎤😌😊💖
word's without saying a word. Beautiful.
Exactly!
Mike's right up there with Eddie Hazel, the guitarist for Funkadelic and the one who did Maggot Brain. and I'd say Hazel was just a step behind Hendrix, which means Mike may very well be a top 3 guitar player of all time. at least, this is my opinion, which I'm not stating as a fact because I do not want to start musical debates :)
Stevie ray has to be in there bro. Throw Mike in top 5. Let Stevie have his place in the top 3 where he belongs. I think Mike would agree.
@@markpearson4106 i think John Frusciante deserves to be up there as well, slightly ahead of mike

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD i wouldn’t even have survived something like that. fucking mindblowing WOAH

Lucky for you, you're deaf .
me too beautiful solo guitar Magot Brain
Was at this show, this video brings it all back.
Around the time Madseason came alive, thanks to Mike, and Layne...

Don't forget Baker. Mike met Baker (bassist) in rehab and discussed jamming together. It was Mikey and Baker that formed Mad Season.
Man, those Hendrix licks sound to my ears like I want to find a Red House over yonder…..😎🍀❤️🤞
This and John Frusciante’s solo on “don’t forget me” in France are probably the 2 greatest live solo’s ever
Little Wing everyone knows - Magot Brain - was Eddie Hazel Jam! I suggest you check it out! Bad ass and underrated song.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mike McCready!!!!!
OMG what a piece of music... and btw on this day, Jerry Garcia played the last concert before his death - another exceptional jammer who was also able to play those vibes from another galaxy. McCready was blowin this little segue from little wing to maggot brain, absolutely stellar performance
This band is one of the best in my Time.
That is every bit as good as Dave Gilmour's Comfortably Numb ... and that's better than anything ever!
There's a power within me when i hear this cover for the first time non stop chills!! Eternally grateful
Can't stop hearing this... Just perfect!
Magic Mike! This is amazing! ❤🎸🔥
He is one with that guitar...sounds amazing.....this was 26 yrs ago.. Time flew by...yet Mike made time stop
Wow! I love that!
The two most incredible covers of this song are this one and 'Littlewing - Live at the Forum. Mind Blowing !
There is a second solo, probably played by Stone Gossard. Pay attention 🙂
How damn lucky that a camera was right in Mike's face that night in Milwaukee!
One of the GREATEST songs EVER .......Love it, my wife and me on the beach in Destin on our Honeymoon 🤘🍻
amo essa música!!
Euu também :')
Bom de mais Mike on fire
