Eddie Vedder - The Needle And The Damage Done

Eddie covering Neil's classic, Vienna 2014

I love Eddie Vedder and I love this song. But Neil singing this song is epic.

Agree. Eddie and Jewel have both covered it, but Neil Young's original hits home.

She passed away on 4-3-11 Now I have NO FAMILY left. On holidays it's NOBODY to share them with. So PLEASE stop and think about what you are doing. I'm just one VERY SAD MOTHER.

Alot of ppl looking thru the comments do not realize what this is all about. This is a tribute to Chris Cornell, you know Audio Slave, Soundgarden? he hung himself after a concert in Detroit. He and Eddie were best friends guys. So this is why Eddie is so messed up here. It does not sound good, but lets give the man a pass, his friend was so messed up on drugs and he knew he was not long for the world. Plz read a bit more below if you care.

He lived with Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley so I am guessing he had experiences with heroin. You can see the pain in his face at the lines that refer to it. Neil never used so I find more passion from Eddies song but Neils is better

[@SuperDLemon]

No!! I'm so surprised by how much I dislike this. Great singer. Great song. And it doesn't work. I feel that Vedder is singing it in Neil Young's voice range and his baritone chops can't handle the high stuff. Maybe he could have nailed it in a different key...I actually feel that it would be quite good in a lower key...

[@dustythe2nd188]

David, that is what I think as well, Eddie cannot do any falsetto (High notes) if you ever noticed. Wrong song for him to try. But I get why he tried.

The crowd sings at like every concert ever, unless the crowd is kept below 100 people, you'll always hear people singing. And even if the crowd is kept to a minimum, you'll still hear people sing, not as many, but still. I do have to say there is something mysteriously beautiful about 30,000+ people singing together.

Just the wrong song for Eddies range. He cannot hit the falsetto notes. Eddie is a great singer otherwise.

[@joeceonnia1954]

He was singing this song because of his close friend hung himself. Depression comes with Heroin and that is the needle & the damage done! Heroin has taken more lives famous and not so famous, Heroin is a mind killer. First you become ashamed of yourself, because of the way you look, Then DEPRESSED, then you just want it to stop. Then you end it. Pain is gone, and the pain of that loss starts for the friends & family left behind to try and understand why they didn't have a chance to help! Eddie Vedder was trying to understand with this song, cuz addiction is so much more...
