I'm so grateful that we still have Eddie with us, out of the big 4 grunge bands. Such a legend.

I do miss the others though bro. Can't wait for PJ to hit NZ in November.

[@jed1166]

I am now 67. I played at open mic recently, and a late 20 something girl had a Pearl Jam shirt on. I asked her if she was a fan, or just liked the shirt…. She replied that she was a huge fan! I played Thumbing My Way, Yellow Ledbetter and finished with Better Man. She was smiling and singing along to each song. It was great to see someone so young that loves PJ and Eddie as much as we do!

My daughter who is 16 is a huge Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mother Love Bone fan. Won’t listen to the trash bands of her generation. Proud Mommy moment for sure ❤

It was 1991 and I was 50 when I fell in love with Pearl Jam. I've been a "Faithfull" ever since. I have very eclectic taste in music, Coltrane to Zeppelin to Pavarotti. I go with my heart, and Eddie resonates. He's a mensch. And he never disappoints. Hooray for humans, being! 🎉❤

Eddie Vedder is such a true good soul, more interested in supporting the other guy and letting him sing, and trying to help him with humour when he forgot the lyrics. "Sharing the light won't hold us down"..

[@Step2me141]

He didn’t forget any lyrics. They just improved an extra section at the end which isn’t on the original version.

[@oddworld954]

@@Step2me141 The whole thing seems not rehearsed at all, sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn't... The guy seemed not prepared at all. Liked it anyway because it's wholesome none the less, but... ;)

@@Step2me141 At kzbin.info/www/bejne/haK7nWBspciKa6s there seems to be something going wrong. Eddie did not forget the lyrics, but Malone seemed to be a little late.

[@leinonibishop9480]

Eddie’s notorious for messing up his own lyrics and he’s also notorious for doing extended adlibs at the ends or middles of certain songs. Apparently in this case he ad libbed a line from one of Post’s songs which Post wasn’t expecting.

[@sv-yh3mq]

Eddie Vedder has "tags" he sings Live when performing "Betterman" in concert- and there are those who can give better insight & info about this very thing- for the tags have names- and it's pretty awesome to get to hear them- and there's favs I think- their experiencing them at a PJ show, collecting different " tags" on Betterman - favorites, and even singing along/ or call and response with the audience- cuz you just gotta sing along . There are those who know way more than I do about this. The tags on Betterman Live are cool /

[@TheMarkcu24]

Man, Eddie's voice just pops. Love Post, but Eddie's singing chops are just a level above. Post was shocked when Eddie starting using his lyrics. Lol. Must have been an awesome moment for him and we all know he gets the older music scene.

[@dehjosh]

Ya I dont really listen to Post Malone. I know who he is but not in my library. But if this is his regular voice I do not know how he got as popular as he is then. Industry is too strong now days.

I have another listen in the morning, and I was liking it and was thinking if Ed &PM were gonna get to perform it again_ as if there was another day of the event- it would be Really Good! (Kind of like back in the day, the Bridge School Benefits, Mountain View, CA. USA, and how day 2 would be hot and in-the-groove. First day could be awkward - a tad, not always, tho- just sayin' There were a lot of artists singing together at the Bridge School Benefits- & Pearl Jam/Ed were kind of "the house band" at that event- well Ed had quipped about it anyway. Artists/singer songwriters Singin' songs with Eddie Vedder is a Very Good thing imo- and Lucky if you get to see it live yourself- It's ❤
