I’m starting a petition for Eddie Vedder to sing all songs. All of the songs ever. Who is with me??
Me!
Ill back this
where can I sign?
I’m for it ❤
yeah fuck bono 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eddie Vedder could sing the ingredients from a can of soup and it'd still give you goosebumps.
A singers singer
He’d sing the soup ingredients and it would end up as a perfectly seared streak
The goosebumps..right though.
If you like vocals with a mouth full of marbles.........just kidding....cant remember who said that.
That is undeniably true. But in fairness, this song is absolutely brilliant and possesses one of the best melodies/chord progressions of all time.
Man, Vedder just knows how to burrow down into the molten core of a song and honor it while making it his own.
Well said.
Great comment I like that!
"making it his own" ??? I beg to differ. Straight "One" with his voice. Nothing special. "Making it your own" is what Eva Cassidy did with Stings "Fields of Gold", just as one example. I love Vedder, but this was nothing crazy special.
@@Drewg351 I consider a vocalist making a song their own when I no longer hear the voice of the original vocalist in their performance. Whether or not Vedder cleared that bar is subjective. Perhaps for you he didn't. For me, he did.
Obviously, given the nature of the performance, it would have been inappropriate to restructure the song into a form that might be unrecognizable to the band receiving tribute or the audience tuned in to celebrate them.
@@RobVollmar, that's what makes the world go round. Opinions. Everyone has one. You think it's exceptional, I think it's really nothing special.
Eddie Vedder is a national treasure
World treasure XDDDD
@samsabruskongen Nick Cage uses a map on the back of the constitution to find Eddie Vedder?
@@blackoceancreativeuniverse yup, you didn't know?
@@samsabruskongen its eddie vedder and lizzo in Mork and Mindy 2023, featuring Patton Ostwald as Orson.
I think Eddy would be somewhat insulted by that ... 🤔 Fucking awesome is what comes to mind in a European mind.
Eddie Vedder is a musical miracle. From "Hunger Strike" with Chris Cornell and Temple of the Dog, to 'Pearl Jam" to this, there is nothing he doesn't make magical
Pearl Jam came first, then got with Chris from Sound Garden...
Is it getting Vedder or do you feel the same? ❤
I love that!💕
Nice one!!
🎉🎉
That some how is funny.😆
Ha ha! Ba dum tss! 😅
I love U2!!!! U2?????😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For someone who loves U2 and Pearl Jam / Eddie Vedder, this is about as incredible a combination as you can get. I heard a very brief clip of this on NPR the day after this event; so glad the whole song is up now and available!!
On target 🌟
@@MonikaGDinNYC Thanks for your likes and comment,I wouldn't have be here if not for you guys
Damn...when Eddie Vedder actualy speaks vowels when signing....is majestic. And he still was power on his voice.
You mean when he actually sings in English? 🤣
This version is killer and Eddie’s vocals really shine on this song.
ah....I prefer the origianal mucho more.
@@quiropracticoecuador1 sure, no one can falsetto like Bono, but Eddie's vocals work well on this song.
I really prefer Johnny Cash version
@@quiropracticoecuador1
So go listen to the original then you f'ing dolt..
@@Almost-Nothing lmao
Eddie Vedder’s signature vibrato has such a beautiful cry in it.
I never knew I needed Eddie vedder singing U2! 👏👏👏👏👏
So magnificent!
@@nancybrooklyn1768 Thanks for being a great fan
Eddie Vedder blew this one out of the park. Heard many covers but by far the best
U2 were MEANT to be a rock band. They really were not meant to do anything else in life and what a great gift their music is to all of us.
Eddie sings every word as if his life was on the line. He finds the meaning and means it.
There's only one other musician that can sing this song as powerfully as Bono. You're watching him.
He does so many of these types of these things - celebrating other artists. He's inducted a shitload of people into the HoF as well. A good dude who appreciates great artists. So cool to see from a guy who is also as good as it gets...
He's greatness.
..
Absolutely!!
True! Generosity is his middle name. It’s lovely.
Loved it when Vedder teamed with Nasrat Fatah Ali Kahn for The Long Road and The Face of Love. Unique and spiritual sound.
Eddie could sing the phone book and make you cry by the 10th name.
😆
As an Irish person and a big U2 fan I think this is the best version of this song ( excluding U2) that I have ever heard. It is amazing!
Johnny cash cough cough
Eddie is without a doubt one of the best singers in our world!!
The look on Adams face at 1:35 is just one of respect for Eddie.
Just give Eddie a Kennedy Center residency. 😂 He loves this stuff and there’s no one better at it. He’s a bigger fan of all these artists than the normal fans.
I remember there was a time Pearl Jam opened up for U2 back during their ZooTV/ Achthung Baby tour. For Eddie to sing this song for the Kennedy Center means everything for us U2 and PJ fans.
💙💜❤️💚💙
Please let this year be as amazing as this performance!
That is a Beautiful Thought 🙂
That's a wonderful thing to ask for. Please I I hope so too.
What a fucked year was 2022.
Checking in 7 months later. Sorry about the year.
It wasn’t.
Early U2 is in my veins. Remembering the first time I heard U2. It was from Boy and was I Will Follow... played at a bar called The Castle (it had that frontage) and they had "teenage" hours where alcohol wasn't served (legally... technically... but clear is clear and side doors were meant for fights or making out while your parents were out front waiting) and we all felt like we were adults for a couple of stupid awkward hours...
Always was a Vedder fan... PJ was also my kidhood and never left me. ...a fav moment was his singing Red Mosquito with Ben Harper on the slide... but when he covered Daltry's The Who with Reign O'er me... that was the end. I had no decision to make. Brother Owned me. Grateful to have lived through his music, Cornell's, and Springsteen/Zac/Dave's covering of Fortunate Son...
He always respects the original. Watch him sing Tom Petty, The Waiting or The Who, I am One - the man is a gift & should be treasured.
Dude. One of the best covers of all time! I feel most of that audience doesn't realize what they just experienced! 🤯
Yeah; they should have given him a standing ovation
Its hilarious to see the crowd react on this masterpiece. Good to see Bono appreciating this performance. He is the source!
If Vedder plays your song, it no longer belongs to you...
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what mastery looks like. Thanks Eddie.....keep on rocking in the free world.
Shout out to those backup singers! My god their voices. You can tell Eddie was really feeling them too. I get the feeling Eddie didn't want this performance to end, Like he was wishing he had McCready on stage with him to break into an 8 minute version of this, like they do with 'Black ' live. Maybe break into a few spoken word bars of 'Sunday bloody Sunday' or something, with the Background singers, then back into 'One' after some Ethereal McCready guitar fills. That woulda taken this to a different level.
Hopefully Pearl Jam adds this to their repertoire
agreed...it was way to short!
Agreed (but also Mike *was* up there w/ 'em, yo..). ✊😌
@Bob Shaffo Holy hell, I had to watch that again to see if you were right. I didn't even notice McCready ( I swear I even instinctively looked to the other side of the stage to see if he was there where he always plays with Pearl Jam). And he kept his guitar playing so subdued. In that case, it was probably just as hard for him not to break off into an 8 minute version with Eddie.
Do you think they were Mary J.'s back-up singers? I can just picture how they were thinking they'd do back up from one huge celebrity voice and the nervousness/excitement at how well they blended with Eddie.
John Claude Van Damme is so talented! Martial arts movie star, and the drummer for U2 🙌🏼
One of the purest voices in the history of music. Some people just have it. He is such a person.
Reminds me of the early U2 when all we heard was the music! We’ll done Mr. V!
"...carry each other..." Great stuff for this days, one( not the same)great version Eddie, and backing vocals❤(from Jujuy,Argentina)🌈🌠
People always argue (and I too agree) that there are more important and precious things in life. But damn it, Arts, Sport etc matter too. They can pull you out of the depth of sadness, darkness and despair, and bring you unbridled joy, for a brief moment. I'm not suggesting that I'm in the depth of despair by any means, but those glorious 3 or so minutes, that gave me unexplainable joy and pleasure! 😍
sport is theatre for stupid people.
If you missed it. He also crushed Reign O're Me by The Who. This guy knows how to sing.
OMG, discovered it a year ago when I saw the Adam Sandler movie. I was blown away. Nothing compares...
Eddie owns every song immediatly!
Hard to replicate the passion of a band singing it's own song and yet Eddie does it with any song he sings....his, or anyone else's...
Eddie Vedder can sing any song and make it better.
Bono’s face at 2:10 saying “Eddie stay in your lane mate.” The Edge seems to be enjoying it. 😂😂😂
😆😆😆 Yeah, Bono is a bit stony faced but the other guys seem to have enjoyed it, especially Adam and the Edge. Edge even gave the performance a big whistle at the end.
But then the Edge usually functions as the dose of reality in U2. 😁
Well he wrote it so maybe a lot of feelings were going on inside.
As a young man i remember Pearl Jam breaking through.
The energy in this mans performance was incredible.
And…. It still is !!,
What a performer ❤️👍
Eddie Vedder always delivers a stellar performance. One of the greatest voices in rock history. Up there with Plant, Rodgers, Mercury, and a few others.
And his brother Chris..
Vedder ain’t up there with Plant, Mercury or Cornell
Fun fact, Eddie has covered 2 of those guys and been on stage with Plant when he opened for Pearl Jam in 2005 and joined PJ for a few songs. Little sister, Money by the beatles and Going to California
@@BC08
He's better than Plant. Plant is a horrendously bad singer.
@@travzimmerman1340 Plant in his prime was a great singer. Bad take
Eddie Vedder is the best! And he is touring this year!
And I’ve got a ticket. Yay me
This made me appreciate "One" again...the feels...damn...
That male backing vocalist almost became Mary J Blige for a second hahaha
From the very beginning when I was introduced to Pearl Jam by my local record store, Eddie Vedder's voice has just blown me away. I remember being 17 and listening to Ten when it was just released thinking no voice will ever beat his. Everything he sings is pure poetry.
We are so f’n lucky to have come of age during Eddie Vedder's time on earth. Artist. Poet. Genius.
Eddie just knows how to pull you into a song
Eddie Vedder is epic. A musician not unlike Johnny Cash. Has the ability to make you feel his emotions even through other people's songs.
This is bloody incredible. Why is it he makes every song sound like it was born to be his.
It doesn’t get Eddie Vedder than this! He can do no wrong ❤
I'm stealing this. I will promptly use it in every day conversation.
Brilliant!
Well played indeed
Eddie Vedder. Powerhouse. Pearl Jam = American worthy peer of the Who. What a career, catalog, impact, influence, on and on and on and on.
Wow❤
I’m not saying anyone out did anyone. It’s just as emotional as Bono but, Vedder style. That was just greatness right there!!!
From the stage jump at Pink Pop to this Eddie Vedder...insane.
God, I love Eddie. One of my favorite voices of all time.
Thanks for your love and support I'm so happy to have a great fan like you
Tones phrasing punctuation emotion delivery.....that's how anything he covers he makes his own. We are lucky he made it through when many of his peers couldn't.
following other comments - eddie picks a song rich with meaning and emotion and then turns it up another notch with that voice - i am misty
The right man for the good song....
Wow did Eddie ever do justice to an already iconic song,, sweet .........
His tone is one of the best in rock music. For real.
Eddie of old for 3 mins there, barely into 2nd gear, purring through it like the big hearted little lion cub his is 👌
I didnt even know this was something i wanted. My favorite band and my favorite song covered by my other favorite band's singer. I feel like I just met my young self and we just became the best version of awesome🫠
What's even more incredible about this incredible performance is that he wasn't even scheduled to sing this song. He stepped in at the last minute when the other singer planned got sick.
Thanks for this information!
Do you know who the planned singer was ?
the only incredible thing about this performance is that, cause it's bono, vedder's bleating bullshit is getting overpraised.
Apart from Layne Staley, the emotion and feelings this man can produce when singing is insane and the best in the world at it.
He just hits you in the core of your whole being.
The Kennedy Honors produced some unbelievable covers over the years. I'm not a big fan of U2, though I do like some of their songs, but I love Pear Jamn and Eddies voice. He once again brings it home...
Eddie does it again and knocks it out of the park
Like he did to Purple Rain
The power of this music, this song, this man... the emotion in the faces of the audience... we get to carry each other.
As much as I love Eddie Vedder, I was afraid to watch him cover such a revered song… but he + everyone on stage did it justice. Great job.
Eddie has the most beautiful voice but thats just a little part of his enormous gift. He has the most artistic way of infusing songs with an intensity and passion from deep in his heart to ours.
Beautifully said.👏👏
Even Vedder than the real thing.
As a lifelong U2 super fan, this is the best I’ve ever heard anyone sing this song.
I love it when a song you already know and love gets covered by a different artist you also know and love and it becomes even more impactful.
Awesome. Eddie singing One from Achtung Baby the same release year he and his band released 10. Just brilliant.
0:46 already have goosebumps. He finds the emotional core of the song and just puts it on blast.
Eddie Vedder has nailed every cover he’s ever done. This time however, he smashed it! Brilliant performance Eddie. Congratulations and bravo!🎉
U2 is very difficult to cover and get away with. Eddie does a great job here. Much respect.
So awesome watching Eddie Vedder now. First saw Pearl Jam back in the day early 90s. 💜💜💓
Im a proud solid #1 fan of Eddie vedder.& PJ.🤟😎🍷❗💖
Is there any song that Eddie can't sing, he just nails them all.
The pure voice that's everything right about the gift of song
It turns out Eddie has the most powerful yet angelic voice ever.
His voice is a musical instrument.
What a performance. One of the great vocalist of our time singing one of the greatest songs ever written. Clear respect from artist to band and back again. Wow!
Bono sat there and sang the lyrics too, was a perfect moment! A legend, both are
Eddie vedder, always the velvet voice, great tremolos, great singer
I love U2 & Pearl Jam. Can’t think of a better singer than Eddie to perform One.
The world needs fast songs like this one.
The staying power of a true artists. It just can't be overstated what true talent looks like. But also... how good the song itself is. A true hit is a song that can be so many things to so many people.
I've seen U2 in concert 3 times, including the Elevation Tour. I've loved Bono's singing this song but Eddie had me in tears viewing this. Absolutely beautiful!
As someone who grew up during grunge but never liked Pearl Jam, Eddie has really grown on me over the past couple of decades. Solid musician, even more solid dude.
This is exactly me too, well said
Check out Chris Cornell singing acoustic. That will change your mind on grunge vocals perhaps.
His solo acoustic version of Blackhole Sun is legendary, and his cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares to U" is fire.
Also, Nirvana Unplugged was amazing.
And the Foo Fighters are still awesome. (One song they did not too long ago almost sounds like the beatles and the animation is trippy af)
That is all.
@@py_a_thon I didn't say that I didn't like grunge. I love Cornell, Layne and Jerry - hell, even Weiland. I just didn't dig Vedder at the time.
@@KipArmadillo Fair enough. I missread your words then. My bad.
I’m speachless. This is everything
Back up singers are phenomenal!!
Eddie has so much passion that can never be denied.
Hell yeah! Love you Eddie. This was great. Remember when Eddie sang with The Doors? That performance of Light My Fire is phenomenal. Sickest keyboard solo ever by Manzarek.
A real U2 fan, and One being a favourite over the years, He absolutely smashed it ! U2 need to cover Black now!!
And I thought that this timeless masterpiece could not get any better.
Can’t get enough of this. Wow
Most beautiful voice. ❤️EV
Eddie is awesome and this U2 song is a classic. Great performance.
Please we need to protect this man at all costs! ❤❤❤
I love U2. I don’t think they were any more blown away by this performance than I.
Eddie Vedder.. You Deserve A Standing Ovation.. Absolutely Incredible 👏👏👏👏👏 encore 👏👏👏..tuned in from Liverpool England UK ❤️🩹✌️👍🏼
