When you’ve gotten a standing ovation from all four members of U2 and the President of the United States you’ve nailed it! What a true legend!

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

True. But in fairness, he could’ve forgotten every word and signed completely off key and they still would’ve given him a standing ovation. Case in point - The song (Walk On) another act closed the entire event with was a disaster. Standing ovation? Yep.

[@adampatties168]

Love Pearl Jam, but this is honestly one of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Eddie has one of those voices that feels as if he’s going to barely miss a note, then he absolutely hits it, effortlessly. Obviously, he hits every note that he writes for himself, but this gave me a deeper respect for his singing capability.

U2 and Pearl Jam, two bands who still have four core members and who are still going, thats a rare musical comradery among friends.

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

Agreed. And it’s incredible on multiple levels considering the nature of the business. Egos. Drugs. Money. Women. There’s so many things could take one out of a band or even end one’s life. So it makes it remarkable that these bands been around for 35-45 years with the same guys. It’s incredible.

This was a great moment. No doubt about that. But let’s not get carried away. This “has to be a highlight of their career watching Eddie Vedder sing their song”? Cmon man. Stop it😂

[@PearlJamfansaresmart]

Lol. Pearl Jam love first and most. It’s my entire character makeup, but whoa! While these men appreciate it, their world involvement and influence far stretches another grown man singing their songs.

[@audibletapehiss3764]

I'll actually agree with this. I steadfastly refused to accept all the Eddie Vedder that was coming at me in the 90's, but I have to say I've been nothing but impressed with the guy and his choices for the last 20 years or so. This performance has heart, as I've noticed most everything he does seems to. I'd be moved if it was my song.

[@bfmarx]

I give it a Ten.

[@cassandralynn7442]

I hope Bono was listening to the words he wrote… Eddie killed it… bless him. Heart and soul🌹

I love how Eddie has come full circle as probably one of the last frontman from the grunge Era to still do his own thing. He truly was put on this earth to sing. Growing up in the greater puget sound area I had my doubts after Andy died, but since the Mookie Blaylock days Vedder was a tremendous performer and he hasn't wavered since. Just a wonderful rendition of U2's "one".

I have to be honest: I've never been a fan of Eddie Vedder or Pearl Jam.

This performance floored me, and I have a newfound appreciation of this man's considerable talent. Amazing.
