Ho. Lee. Shit! My favorite PJ song and he did it justice! So much energy and enthusiasm, love seeing younger generations influenced by my favorite band

[@jeffmcdonald1970]

Maaaan ... as a Pearl Jam fan who loves this song, it's so good.

[@jeremyrogers2735]

Unbelievable. Amazing. This guy kills. And that Pearl Jam song is one of the gems hidden on a great record. I'm a fan now of this dude.

[@NamathCB]

Yes, for most any other band this would be a top tune, must play at every show. But for the guys it's one of about 150, with at least 50 being "must plays" at shows imo. This being near the top of that list. So cool to hear banjo in it. Haha

[@kchastain3]

Holy cow. He not only hit all the notes, but he nailed Eddie Vender’s subtle intonations and everything. Just wow.

[@BenjaminFields]

He explained Yield was he & his mom’s favorite album. Was constantly spinning.

[@davidjennings4568]

That album was crazy good. Musician buddy of mine found complete appreciation of Pearl jam after hearing that one.

[@AJH8713]

I hope Eddie enjoys this as much as I do. 🤘

[@jimmypock]

I can picture him grinning from ear to ear watching this! Billy Strings is an American hero.

[@eddievedder141]

Why?

[@7wounders]

Good thing they are both playing at Ohana Fest Saturday night Oct. 1st & Jack White. Should be one hell of an evening.

[@crotherszach8825]

upside down lol

[@crotherszach8825]

​@@7wounders man I wish I was there . have seen Jack and Eddie never billy

[@MK-xl9tt]

This dudes the real deal he effortlessly slays these cover tunes Thinking he’s probably one of best players of his generation

[@aaronandfelicia]

The cultural impact of Pearl Jam can never be understated. This was awesome!!

[@dadowdsta1]

Vs album was my inspiration to pick up the guitar!

[@waynemorth5090]

You can't be more right

[@christophergurreri5024]

That is an incredible cover that I never would have imagined! Isn’t music amazing?!!!

[@zyonsdream]

I saw them last October and they played elderly woman behind a counter and I swear I almost cried it was so good.

[@TheClownfight]

holy crap, he played this last night in Denver. Billy singing Eddie? Pretty much my two favorite things in life right now

[@huibui2978]

Holy shit.....love it.....from a hardcore PJ fan

[@gmiller3833]

Same! 🔥 🔥

[@MTNJOHN]

These fucking guys 👏 2:00 BMFS nailing the Vedder voice into Failing on 5 string converting this a bluegrass jam, Alex breathing some speed into it. And royal and Jarrod just keeping the whole thing tougher the whole timeZ these guys are something else. Glad to be around for this

[@Scrumpilump2000]

Holy sweet Jesus! That was awesome! It's one of my favourite songs ever and Billy does it justice. I don't need to look for any more 'In Hiding' covers, it won't get better than this.

[@Scrumpilump2000]

Hey, I'm back! I'm riding this vibe. I stand by what I wrote.

[@TheJpep2424]

Jesus is Lord!

[@mikeyj990ify]

As a huge pearl jam fan for 30+ years i gotta say bravo. Enjoyed this quite a bit. And i usually cringe at pj covers

[@mattgill7433]

Lol I’m kinda the opposite. Never been much of a Pearl Jam fan and think I would have enjoyed a lot more if PJ was left out of the description. To each his own I guess.

[@dumnass3394]

@@mattgill7433 so you'd rather think it was a Billy strings song and then it'd be ok? It's either a good song or it's not, in my eyes. It must kinda be debilitating when the name of a band makes you not appreciate a song even if it's good.

[@davidpollak685]

Brother strings, yield was the first album I bought with my own money. Feb 98, I’m about to turn 14 and I walked my happy ass one frigid February day from Gemini jr high a mile In the cold, Chicago burbs to Best Buy and bought my first Cd with my own money. I discovered Pearl Jam because my scammer ass older sister got a bunch of cds for a penny and never paid for them. Anyway, ten shaped my entire musical life and I was hooked. Anyway, I’ll always live in hiding and you made it fresh for Me. God is good thank you

[@thegreatunknowns4280]

I LOVED IT!! I’ve been to 69 PJ shows and I tell you that song, especially the Im in hiding part, those notes are so hard to hit and make perfect and he crushed it! Great job young man. Rumble young man rumble

[@dougclegg7955]

Wow… great job Billy. Wouldn’t it be fun to hear him and Eddie together 😘

[@laurene.breaux7366]

Chills Cover MY body when I listen to him play and sing♥️♥️♥️

[@gayeeppley1996]

Fabulous cover of a fabulous song by my favorite band, Pearl Jam❤

[@davidpollak685]

God bless you brother strings for making this song from 98 fresh again. I loved Pearl Jam and now I like them. But, you made me remember why I loved them in the first place

[@chrisdriver7776]

That was fuckin beautiful... one of the best Pearl Jam covers I've heard.

[@bridgettsims4983]

Saw PJ two weeks ago & gonna see BMFS next week 🔥 the universe is in balance 🍁 this was just what I needed today

[@mydudes7110]

The best Pearl Jam cover I have ever seen! Wow, that was amazing!

[@pdmarino]

Bravo, one of my favorite PJ songs and this was a great version.

[@billcrotts5456]

Holy lord that was incredible

[@jeremymott9060]

THANK YOU WILLIE SET LIST....COOL.AF...the real outlaws at Outlaw music festival are the ones who allowed Avert bros to play after only one set of BMFS

[@penguinjammer8522]

Top 10 fave PJ song and Billy just crushes it! Dude is amazing

[@kylemorrison2867]

He's so good. I'll never forget the day I told him "that was amazing" and promptly dropped his (or Don's - can't remember) brand-new mic on the ground. He was so cool about it.

[@barbwatkins3676]

Billy Strings..as always.. incredible. His energy and talent are phenomenal. The band is excellent. Great version!

[@davist-mq5db]

Man freaking crazy I cannot wait until I see him for the first time in November in Richmond and I got pit tickets I am stoked✌️❤️🔥🌲

[@dreamsincolor10]

Very awesome. Always love when he honors PJ by covering them. 😊

[@crotherszach8825]

and the Dead especially Garcia

[@stansburygreg]

Easily one of my favorite songs of all time! This is amazing!

[@larrym3109]

i keep getting sucked in more and more. this guy was born to do just this. long live billy mf strings

[@BrianLee-cy1gv]

🤞GIVEN TO FLY BILLY STRINGS!!! 🤞

[@bfordmill]

Very cool. Heard him on Maron and he talks about how Yield was a big album for his family growing up.

[@sparrowsarrows5237]

I cant get enough of Billy right now but can I just say Mandolin player is kicking it on this PJ tune! SO GOOD JARROD! Amazing job Fellas! Much Love in Ohio! We are SO proud of you!

[@Bluegeek1]

I still don't know how you can know to perfection so many songs? Even if you have a prompter with lyrics, still to remember all the changes, chord changes and timing is unbelievable.

[@flipjupiter1]

I've never taken a music lesson in my life nor do I play any instruments but I can literally sing a thousand songs and I know their guitar riffs, bass lines and even drum fills. It's being a fan and an avid music listener. So for pro musicians it should be very easy.

[@elanabethfariss117]

❤He’s tearing it up, go Billy!

[@nickcoburn6131]

Sure enough inspirational for sure

[@lonewillow1801]

Fukn AWESOME!! Just saw Eddie & the Boyz last week in NvL, and with that hair Billy surely is channeling some Vedder!! 🤘🏽🌎🎸

[@BillyTheKidder]

Simply one of the greatest doing it right now. 👏🏻

Smoking cover, put me down rabbit holes to learn more about Billy Strings (wow) and also rewatch PJs live performances of it and see how it evolved into a crowd singalong (crowd love+EdVed’s lessening vocal range;).

Billy Strings gets it. PJ is so hard to cover.... unless you do that to it. God bless Billy Strings!

Not a fan of bluegrass, but this dude absolutely nailed covering this Pearl Jam track.

[@bfmarx]

I mean. Just wow! Eddie must be impressed

[@lorievozar1099]

WOW

Jarrods mandolin just works in this song. All the band members are just incredible musicians and all look like good friends. Gotta be a pretty decent life.

[@LedbetterBand]

Fucking great, Billy 🤘

[@dyedanddead5845]

Remember seeing pearl jam at SPAC.. LOLLAPALOOZA years ago.....

[@MrCobbstopper]

We were thinking PJ might bring Billy up last night in Denver. Maybe BMFS will have Eddie up at Renewal?

[@tracykern2313]

Damn, he can sing.

[@davidmendenhall5888]

Billy and Eddie need to jam...

[@LucypPearl]

🤩

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

I used to think back in the 90’s “Hey Self,You know what Pearl Jam needs?” “A banjo and a fiddle” might say I was somewhat of a visionary,wouldn’t you??

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

I still think they could use a fiddle and banjo!...and I like PJ!
