Eddie Vedder is the social consort of our times. He is undeniable & insufferable at once. The man is an emulation and transcends generations. Enjoy people!
Chris et al.- Check out Neil Young's cover. Several versions, here's a good one, ua-cam.com/video/1DBewzgXgYk/v-deo.html . Young a visitor from another planet.
And God help me....my children (One in High School, one in College) will soon say.....I used to listen to this growing up, and it reminds me of home....🌈💖
I am Eddie's age and lived thru that music, The Who, Stones, Jimi, Janis, but my fav artist of all time is FUCKIN EDDIE VEDDER............the fuckin real deal for my generation!
Two top-shelf musicians playing off each others" strengths. Doesn't get any better. "There are many here among who think that life is but a f...ing joke..."
Don't care what anyone says, Eddie is a freaking awesome entertainer and a legend of his own personal styles of music and the things he represents in life .....all good ....and I love it ...class act .
2.4k dislikes and I guarantee none of them could ever come within a parsec of playing like that; And I don’t even know who this cat is... but he’s got my attention. Thank you Eddie Vedder
Hendrix's version was great in a purely musical sense but dylan's was superior in that it was truer and more appropriate with respect to the lyrical aspects and poetic theme of the written words.
The hug that Eddie Vedder lays on Brendan Canty after the song is over is one of the most touching things I've seen in years! May they both keep playing forever....
Absolutely frigging fantastic. Love the way Eddie gives credit. I have been a fan of Fugazi for a long time and they are one of the most underrated bands of all time.Glad Eddie said what he did.
Good God, you've grown into such an incredible MAN. I feel a fool for underestimating you when we were kids, Brother. I related more and preferred Chris. I realize I was probably denying my truer match and passion. And Chris cried so well when I could not cry at all. Most of my old friends are dead now, including, Cornell. Thank you for keeping yourself inside, cultivating it like wilderness and please know how grateful I am for you sharing what you're given. There are so many, I don't have a favorite but perhaps most of all 'Society' helps keep me going and I listen to it and you singing whenever I need. Thank you. Live On, Vedder.
So help me that my children, (One in High School, one in College) will soon say.....I used to listen to this growing up, and it reminds me of home....🌈💖🤙
+Tony Byrnes "How can you not say it isn't TREMENDOUS". Such a complex sentence. That would be a great title and line in a song. Anyway, let me try --- This version of Watchtower is not tremendous. I guess that is one way of saying it, nicely.
Not sure why you are being sarcastic on this.Either you don't like Eddie Vedder or thus version, or your jealous you have no music talent.This cover is Tremendous!
Tony Byrnes Let's see ... I found your sentence kind of intriguing in its complexity. So I decided to have fun with it, that's all. Since taste is such a relative matter, and your sentence was so emphatic, I just couldn't resist. How my comment could possibly indicate that I am jealous because I have no musical talent is an even more intriguing observation. Would you mind explaining what would lead you to that assumption?
ahhahahahahaa, how true, and in Latin no less. Many people get very upset when you don't like what they like. Want to see something even more dramatic? Say something that confuses them. E pluribus cucurachas meus
Holy shit! One of the greatest vocalist in Rock history playing with a guy who was in the band (that I think) sums up everything wonderful about punk culture. And... AND they are playing a song by the man that invented the 'singer-songwriter' genre of music. Too good... too good.
I just watched Vedder slaughter 3 of my favorite songs, oh God, I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy E.V. again ! Somebody give the guy some new material, jees !!
Eddie Vedder is such an amazing talented musician. Most musicians find it challenging to sing and play guitar at the same time, yet Eddie Vedder is singing, playing lead guitar and harmonica! He goes even further because he doesn't just sing. He sings, with such intensity as if he is feeling every single word. I am in awe!
Pour moi c'est la meilleur version, et oui, Eddie est hors pair, il est tellement bon qu'il ne se sent pas obligé de jouer d'instruments avec Pearl Jam... Rien a prouver, c'est un vrais!! ... Sinon pour ceux qui ne connaisse pas, la version de ''Lucifer'' (série) solo piano, est aussi très sympa...
@James Hama coffee ahh, a life source. i am busy sifting through numerous boxes of random and odd items my deceased loved ones have left for me to determine their value and grave. Trash, sell, or donate. I hate this crap. What a fizzle on a fire eh?
+Steven Sass Please explain, Eddie Vedder, the singer in Pear Jam, a band who are influenced by many great classic bands and singers including Creedence clearwater revival, Neil Young and The Who and Brendan Canty, the drummer in Fugazi who are one the most respected bands of the last 30 years. How did guys like them kill rock and roll?
Guys like you killed the rock.. Never say that a man like eddie vedder kills the rock. He may not play the rock always because he likes other styles too.. So just shut the hell up
+Persijn de Haan Please read my explanation below. Although I do understand unless one actually lived through how music began to devolve beginning in the 90's this concept may be somewhat difficult to fully understand. I believe in dialogues and even though I will occasionally make an over the top statement, telling someone to "shut the hell up" only seems to signal that you are unable to come up with a thoughtful counterpoint. You can like Eddie Vedder as much as you want, personally I believe the grunge movement did no favors for music in the short and long run. A casual scan through radio stations today provide stark testament to the poor state of what passes for popular music today.
Do you know what an Octave is?... Even trained Opera singers only use about Three . A few can manage Five.. Even someone like Mariah Carey can barely make five Octaves.
I sent you the link for the classic rock show, doing All along the watch tower,,, closer to Hendrix then anyone since Hendrix. If anyone has anything that comparres let me know I want to hear it. The band does other covers also,and they are amazing on them all.
Bob dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder. Some of my favorite musicians played this song. all versions are so different, yet all beautiful.
Eddie is right. We are so fortunate to live in this time of great music and great musicians.
If you close your eyes you would swear there's a full band on stage. So much energy from just two people.
Eddie Vedder is the social consort of our times. He is undeniable & insufferable at once. The man is an emulation and transcends generations. Enjoy people!
the feeling that he puts into whatever he sings is just...larger than life omg..
Never thought anyone could ever cover this song....but then....who else but eddie??
Chris et al.- Check out Neil Young's cover. Several versions, here's a good one, ua-cam.com/video/1DBewzgXgYk/v-deo.html . Young a visitor from another planet.
I have never heard a bad version of this song and I'm not starting tonight... Simply awesome!
Good grief, he nails it completely. What a wonderful energetic version of this great song.
Bob wrote it. Jimi made it perfect. Now any and everyone gets to join the party. It belongs to all of us now.
great words.......
Yes!
Check out Prince version, Bobby Womack version and Neil young with Pearl Jam version. All great
DAFAQ. I just came to see Eddie and suddenly Brendan is on stage!! Anyone who hasn't listened to Fugazi, do it now. Brilliant music, brilliant people.
There are not many who can match the talent Eddie has.
Eddie is one of the five or six rock gods.
who is number 1???
+patricia shearouse Probably Jimi Hendrix
So much goodness here... The song, Fugazi, Eddie Vedder... DANG!
Seriously someone needs to keep a close watch on this man and make sure he doesn’t die!!!! Eddie Vedder is seriously a world wonder!!! 👍🏻
And God help me....my children (One in High School, one in College) will soon say.....I used to listen to this growing up, and it reminds me of home....🌈💖
yes
Dylan wrote this anthem, Hendrix turned it into a masterpiece and Vedder steps right into their iconic shoes and totally fills them.
Now that is some real music, and some serious respect to the former rockers and blues and jazz that gave us rock and roll!
The greatest grunge voice of all time! A distinct voice EDDIE VEDDER!
Sheesh, I’m surprised walls didn’t crumble. But they did blow the roof off . . . wow.
Amazing performance, Vedder never dissapoints...
Eddie is beyond a legend
Well all this proves is that Eddie Vedder is a god-tier musician.
I am Eddie's age and lived thru that music, The Who, Stones, Jimi, Janis, but my fav artist of all time is FUCKIN EDDIE VEDDER............the fuckin real deal for my generation!
It doesn't get Eddie Vedder than this.!
settle down shiv!!
I see what you did there :-)
Thomas Dam o
Lol nice play on words
Thomas Dam.. Well said my friend. Aussie gal x
I love how Eddie has become so versatile. I think he has vocal cords and heart of gold.
Amber Rain Midnight sweet dreams
Eddie Vedder is King hell yeah.
Two top-shelf musicians playing off each others" strengths. Doesn't get any better. "There are many here among who think that life is but a f...ing joke..."
Don't care what anyone says, Eddie is a freaking awesome entertainer and a legend of his own personal styles of music and the things he represents in life .....all good ....and I love it ...class act .
Spectacular performance of a transcendent song.
How can anyone not like this????
2.4k dislikes and I guarantee none of them could ever come within a parsec of playing like that; And I don’t even know who this cat is... but he’s got my attention. Thank you Eddie Vedder
Eddie's the real deal; he shows true appreciation and just gives you himself out there -- that's all this life thing is about.
What's this? Wisdom in the UA-cam comments? Get out of here, sir
Jaundiced Jape uncle toms cabinn
Jaundiced Jape no 9
Uncle toms cabin
really hate that guy, so sucks, sorry, seattle here, he just sucks ass
That was soooo freakin awesome!! I Love Eddie Vedder!! 😊💓🤘✌️
probably the best cover I've ever heard
And I’m honored to be alive when Pearl Jam adorned us with it’s magnificence
one of the best songs ever made
My No1, Seen 100's of covers,like nearly all.Best version live was "Randy Hanson" up 'till now SRV wasn't bad as well.
+borderline4 Hendrix cover was the BEST how could you say this is #1 when Hendrix made the original bob Dylan version sound like a cheap knock off
true.... but i think in the vocals , vedder are more intense as usual..cheers mate..respect from brasil
Hendrix's version was great in a purely musical sense but dylan's was superior in that it was truer and more appropriate with respect to the lyrical aspects and poetic theme of the written words.
The hug that Eddie Vedder lays on Brendan Canty after the song is over is one of the most touching things I've seen in years! May they both keep playing forever....
Keep Rockin'..... Crazy cool
Just when you think Eddie Vedder cannot get any better!!! That was amazing!! And I love his rants! I'm a ranter too!
Absolutely frigging fantastic. Love the way Eddie gives credit. I have been a fan of Fugazi for a long time and they are one of the most underrated bands of all time.Glad Eddie said what he did.
Just proud of him for making it over "the hump"! I made it, barely, while so many of my most cherished friends did not! I miss them
what a drummer..........................
he gives a bloody good rythm to the song
One of the greatest of all times eddie.
2022 and still the value is high, so high that dead legends hear his angel voice up in the sky...
Brilliance. Just when you think Eddie can't get any better,,, he does.!! thanks a million for sharing...
go eddie, you obviously appreciate bobby.......i love your rendition
Wow. . . .wow. . .speechless really. . . .
Good God, you've grown into such an incredible MAN. I feel a fool for underestimating you when we were kids, Brother. I related more and preferred Chris. I realize I was probably denying my truer match and passion. And Chris cried so well when I could not cry at all. Most of my old friends are dead now, including, Cornell.

There are so many, I don't have a favorite but perhaps most of all 'Society' helps keep me going and I listen to it and you singing whenever I need. Thank you. Live On, Vedder.
I love Eddie Vedder’s passion.
Please give this man a cape, he's a superhero.
So help me that my children, (One in High School, one in College) will soon say.....I used to listen to this growing up, and it reminds me of home....🌈💖🤙
That's how I feel when I listen to my parents music! 💖 Notably, Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand, Boston, Stykx, Elton John, and Fleetwood Mac!!! 💖💖💖
One more reason to fall in love with Eddie Vedder!
This is the most ive ever heard eddie talk
😁 I was stunned as well.
Yeah, I'd like what he's on
What a drummer,good work .......
I grew up with the best musicians ever heard... Thank you
I have watched this a few times now. How can you not say it isn't TREMENDOUS!! The passion, sound, and only 2 guys killing it!
+Tony Byrnes Totally agree Tony..TOTALLY AGREE!!!!
+Tony Byrnes "How can you not say it isn't TREMENDOUS". Such a complex sentence. That would be a great title and line in a song. Anyway, let me try --- This version of Watchtower is not tremendous. I guess that is one way of saying it, nicely.

Oh the talent! Whaa. One of my favorite rock songs done to perfection. Love ya Eddie.
Janis Joplin
thanks
thanks again
Jimi Jimi I hope you're rocking that guitar wherever you are....the cover and original both are beyond imagination 👌👌👌
Only one guitar drums and one voice resulting in that. Thats called talent guys
Holy shit! One of the greatest vocalist in Rock history playing with a guy who was in the band (that I think) sums up everything wonderful about punk culture. And... AND they are playing a song by the man that invented the 'singer-songwriter' genre of music. Too good... too good.
“I’m the Dude, so that’s what you call me. That or, uh His Dudeness, or uh Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.”
Best comment ever
Nice marmot.
Yeah, well that's just ,like, your opinion man...
I have a strange craving for a White Russian now ...
This comment is so accurate ha ha
This was the BEST way to start my workday!!!
Catching my breath! Incredible! Eddie Vedder = Maximum Qi Force.
WOW.Eddie Vedder was given one gift in life, TO PERFORM MUSIC!
That intensity, That energy! So pure, so rare!
Eddie comes from Illinois - Evanston... I was raised in Wilmette, Il... I know he is a Cubs fan like me and Bill Murray. His music is so so good!
I just watched Vedder slaughter 3 of my favorite songs, oh God, I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy E.V. again ! Somebody give the guy some new material, jees !!
BFD 123 He destroys just about everything doesn’t he?
Eddie is such an ICONIC figure! He will forever be part of the best music era of my life!
Eddie Vedder is such an amazing talented musician. Most musicians find it challenging to sing and play guitar at the same time, yet Eddie Vedder is singing, playing lead guitar and harmonica! He goes even further because he doesn't just sing. He sings, with such intensity as if he is feeling every single word. I am in awe!
nothing to it, really.
He doesn't play any lead guitar here, just rhythm. The harmonica is the "lead" or "melody" instrument on this one. Amazing performance.
Pour moi c'est la meilleur version, et oui, Eddie est hors pair, il est tellement bon qu'il ne se sent pas obligé de jouer d'instruments avec Pearl Jam... Rien a prouver, c'est un vrais!! ... Sinon pour ceux qui ne connaisse pas, la version de ''Lucifer'' (série) solo piano, est aussi très sympa...
Getty lee sings plays bass and plays keys with his toes js
Vincent Lag
Merci pour votre très aimable réponse à mon message.
Nothing beats brilliant simplicity.
Return to this version so many times, brilliant!
@James Hama All good and hope you all are too!
@James Hama coffee ahh, a life source. i am busy sifting through numerous boxes of random and odd items my deceased loved ones have left for me to determine their value and grave. Trash, sell, or donate. I hate this crap. What a fizzle on a fire eh?
tremendous passion and intensity! wow!
Jimmy Hendrix version is much better!
Brenda Hall damn good for a live version!
For all you Nonvedderholics, song starts at 2:20. You owe me, life is too short
Farout
Thanks. You saved us some pain.
Pure, unadulterated shite. Guys like this killed rock and roll. Thanks Eddie.
+Steven Sass Please explain, Eddie Vedder, the singer in Pear Jam, a band who are influenced by many great classic bands and singers including Creedence clearwater revival, Neil Young and The Who and Brendan Canty, the drummer in Fugazi who are one the most respected bands of the last 30 years.

+WES ARCHER HA! Completely agree!
Yes!!! More please!
I could listen to him talk forever ♥️
same here
Eddie's got the most incredible vibratto; it skips through all 6 octaves with such grace & agility. His vocal chords must be made of rubber!
Do you know what an Octave is?... Even trained Opera singers only use about Three . A few can manage Five.. Even someone like Mariah Carey can barely make five Octaves.
A Drummer among drummers Indeed.....Aye!!.... Fkn Brilliant, yeah...!!!...
TYTYTY from the bottom of my heart
Good Lord, Eddie. Just amazing and tightly controlled gut wrenching. Love this, love Eddie
Your a living legend Eddie Vedder your DNA strand is music to the very core. 🎸
the greatest song played by one of the most talented musician
Just Eddie and his drummer.. And out pours passion, heart and soul.
Wow!
dve carey ....yeah, shits crazy!
a legend singing a song of another legend
legend? never heard of him and don't regret it.
2 absolute legends. Eddie is the third legend to do it
It’s a crap genre. Totally unimaginative beating a song to death. But yeah, he is the best at it, I’ll give u that.
@@deepsouth81 Couldn't hold a candle to Hendrix. mopo
That is already covered by another legend
I like and respect Eddie Vedder a lot- a groundbreaking musician from a very important era with a huge talent and a lot of integrity.
Very good way of putting it.
wow.. that performance was awesome!
Eddie Vedder is awesome
words are so awesome
''I am not mister Lebowski, You are mister Lebowski, okay? I am the Dude, so that's what you call me.
shut your fuck up Donnie !
Your out of your element!
He treats objects like woman...man
"The dude, or his dudeness or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."
I am the dude, or you can me the dudder, or your dudeness.
This is the first song where I was able to understand Eddie.... most of it anyway.
I wish Eddie Vedder would one day sit next to my bed reading a book to me so that I can softly fall asleep. Outstanding voice!
Eddie just nailed it.....my God I love this cover....one of the best things today...
Nice cover... love the harmonica. Hendrix and DMB still are my fave covers of this song, but Eddie does it justice for sure.
DMB: Da Master Bobdylan

I like Dave Masons version and Jeff Healy did an in red ible cover also.
2:38 priceless drummer fill on the microphone :-) Great it was documented
Nothing beats watching/listening to great musicians rocking it out...
Eddie Vedder is such a talent!!! Soooo cooool
Bob dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder. Some of my favorite musicians played this song. all versions are so different, yet all beautiful.
Logan Mohler u have to check The Forest Rangers version its good too
Except Jimi hendrix other's covers are shitty af
Dave Mason does a great version as well. I may be wrong but I believe he helped JH learn the song.
you obviously haven't heard mr young. knocks dogpooh out of this.
Actually Dylan's original is shit.
I love, LOVE Eddie's voice! 💘
This is what great music sounds!
this song brings me hope during covid quarantine....
Kudos to you for capturing such a spectacular rendition of "All Along the Watchtower." Simply outstanding!
so much soul... god i love eddie
Brilliant performance...
Thanks, Eddie for the great music!
Amazing! Love the harmonica !!!
