Pearl Jam - Baba O'Riley - Fenway Park (August 5, 2016)

Fenway Park, Boston

[@CasualShootersPodcast]

What do you do when you want to close out a concert with energy? Cover The Who!! Nobody has ever encompassed chaotic energy better than The Who. Their songs are iconic. Their energy unrivaled. Great job Pearl Jam. I don't think anyone covers The Who better.

[@robthornton6288]

Couldn't agree more! Pearl Jam do an amazing job of covering Who classics. Eddie is a good friend of Pete, and I think Roger, and did an amazing job at one of their teenage cancer trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London a while ago.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

The only thing missing here is the energy of The Ox nailing down the bottom end.

[@CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

Man, it tells you how important, powerful and influential, the Who and this song, were when Pearl Jam fans correctly sing along 45 years after the release of the album the song was originally on.

[@bikepunk001]

I love both. And both bans are legends

[@paulj6756]

Most of whom were not even born when the song came out!

[@takecareofyourshoess]

@@paulj6756 Ummm....pretty common song on classic rock radio...plus PJ has been playing it for many years....so uhhh yeah. Most fans that like PJ enough to go to a show will have heard this song, probably many, many times. I know I have. It's not like it's some obscure unknown song or something.

[@rockdinosaur666]

True classics will never die. I wonder how many Sheeran or Beiber "songs" will be remember in 5 years time?

[@takecareofyourshoess]

@@rockdinosaur666 Plenty of crappy pop songs from the 60s and 70s have been long since forgotten and are even embarrassing to hear now. Plenty.

[@derekjohn4412]

Pearl Jam knocked this one right out of Fenway Park. Superb rendition of Baba O'riley and a tribute to the WHO one of the greatest rock bands.

[@brodemonz]

If there is one band that I've grown up with that has never let me down it's Pearl Jam.

[@jmarsubiefanman764]

Best PJ show I ever saw…..That band, Fenway Park, that City, this song…..I literally cried when watching them…..one of the greatest moments of my life…..

[@johngrant7418]

I hear you man, I was there myself, I was 46 years old at the time and brought my son who just turned 19 the day before. Truly a remarkable point in time we will never forget

[@markjohnston1813]

come on who else got goosebumps when the crowd sang fantastic

[@ozzymorrison8628]

I did right now 🙏👏👏👏

[@BENjamin3931]

The energy in this is contagious.

[@bigwolf287]

How can you not love this !!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊

[@5richmedia5]

the best cover of BAba O'riley, the rock classics never grow old, sounds just like the original by the who 40 + years ago, great stuff.

[@Anthony-uf3oz]

Their version of this at Madison Square Garden is better than this !

[@martinbeswick3281]

Gaslight Anthem is better, check it out.

[@hiseverest9074]

@@martinbeswick3281 Mr.Big version is the best for me. Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert with Eric Martin on vocals ☝️

[@kasimojohn2017]

Eddie vedder is the greatest rock star of all time. The way he projects his barratone voice with an organic release of emotion is unparalleled. The doors asked him to induct them into the hall of fame and perform with them on that night. John densmore said they would not perform without him. he has earned the respect , love and graced the stage with The who, bruce springsteen, stevie nicks, glen hansard, tom petty, neil young, coldplay, chris cornell, the rolling stones, R.E.M to name just a few and there are many more and in these moments he delivers earth shattering performances. He covered u2s elevation and One at their kennedy center honors ceremony and left the band speachless. he was asked to induct the Ramones, R.E.M. , neil young and the doors as mentioned earlier into the hall of fame. He has done all of this while climbing and jumping off scaffolds singing porch and gave the greatest unplugged perfomance to boot. If you doubt any of this you are just hating on reality. look it all up on KZbin its right here✌ children

[@robthornton6288]

As a huge Who fan since I was 16, and that's a very, very long time ago 😀 Pearl Jam and Eddie do THE best job of recreating the energy of the Who on stage. I loved this video - thanks for uploading 👍🖖

[@ledbetter5501]

You can tell he’s a sports fan and understands that all sports fans are united. Very cool!

[@Bell2323]

My favorite band as an adult playing the best song of the group that was my favorite as a kid. Truly awesome.

[@patchesw3815]

Always admired and been a PJ fan. I commend them for giving up a lot of their shows back in the 90’s taking on Ticketmaster. That was a huge thing to do. I’m 50 now and would still love to see these guys live.

[@AustinSkyline]

I saw The Who do this song on November 20, 1971 at the Charlotte Coliseum, and Pearl Jam's version is absolutely spectacular-they transform the song into something a little different, but equally impressive. A singularly great interpretation of a singularly great song by a singularly great band. Thanks, Pearl Jam!

[@Bridging_the_Political_Divide]

Some bands just have the "magic". The Who does and Pearl Jam does. Well done.

[@chasgorman1086]

Gotta give it up to the Fenway crowd, they nailed that solo!

[@gabrielamontesdeoca8359]

[@lucaseberlu3180]

Band that started my love of music in 1992

[@devinmichaelroberts9954]

Crazy how out of all the bands from the 90's.. Pearl jam is the one with the biggest following around the world. They can fill up Fenway 30 years later. They also sound way better than they did back then live.

[@davidfarley1902]

As usual you weren't even alive 30 yrs. ago. I was . Figure it out genious?

[@etheldingleberry8075]

The Who my favourite band when I was 12. Pearl Jam my favourite band for the last 30 years. Love seeing Eddie and Pearl Jam singing Baba O'Riley. Their covers are always so good and brings smiles and tears to my eyes. Love you for ever Eddie my best friend and Pearl Jam. 🖐🖐💖💖🇦🇺🇦🇺

Why cant have these guys at the superbowl?

[@johnnycarter2283]

cause they only want justin bieber and crap like thaat

[@maxmyers9811]

As sad as it is there will probably never be another rock band at the Super Bowl because the music industry is dominated by shit

[@dankauffmanmusic]

1: Because you have to pay to play 2: Corporate bullshit

[@wyganter]

Are they still together?

[@PS987654321PS]

Because the Super Bowl is for losers.

[@peterknecht6666]

the guy behind the drums is definately somewhere else at 2:12 - priceless

[@jecapeca]

How did you notice that?! 😂 That roadie's not doing his job properly. His attention should ALWAYS be on a drummer and drums. They have signs that drummers give them if they need something, or something goes wrong. Of course, if he's a roadie. If he's not some drugged, lost fan that passed unnoticed by security! 😁

[@PhilRosegart]

Maybe he hates Boston?

[@davidcarter2720]

Click track dependent? Can't figure out any good reason for this - McCready was clearly surprised.
