Pearl Jam - *Crown of Thorns* - 10.31.09 Philadelphia, PA

[@sheldon6248]

I was introduced to Pearl Jam on my first date with my wife and i introduced her to mother love bone. 32 years later were still going strong with five girls who are also huge fans. Weve seen PJ 27 times and next month it will be 28 at the Ohana festival in Dana Point Cali 😁👍❤️🏄. We will be there on our oldest girls 28ty bday😊. Ive been privileged to meet and surf with eddie and i can tell you he is the nicest down to earth human being who loved our 3 German shepherds and drank a beer with us before going our separate ways. Grateful for the life i have and more so grateful for my wife and girls who have shared my ongoing addiction to PJ. Dreams do fome true as i know, I'm living the dream right here❤️🏄😁👍 One love!

[@pawelrok]

You are a real lucky man, my friend, true dreams come true, a beautiful adventure and, most importantly, FAMILY. Best regards to you and those you love. Best regards Greetings from Poland 🤝✌️

[@LSUOdyssey]

So obviously the future mother loved your bone

[@darrind1957]

I was lucky enough to attend that show, last ever at The Spectrum. Truly incredible performance!!

[@aaronsegal4142]

There is no doubt that this beautiful song is done as a tribute to the bigger-than-life Andy Wood. Eddie has always acknowledged and praised highly Wood & MLB. And yes, they waited a full decade to even perform this. Any notion of them cashing in per se is beyond ridiculous. Also, Wood had a Hell of a sense of humor. He would have loved this version, and would probably goofed to Eddie something like "dude, stop being so serious".

[@michaeljamesmccabe]

I was at this show and it was mind blowing. Still is. They are keeping Mother Love Bone "alive" in a beautiful way. "I was talking to my alter", is a deep lyric. Love this song.

[@perrymorrison7606]

There too what a fabulous show to close out the Spectrum

[@briankeightly3361]

Big Andrew wood fan here , love the whole Seattle scene , queensryche Soundgarden , motherlive bone , Alice in chains , and heart , temple of the dog, I used to go to spectrum alot , first concert kiss and Bob seger 1976, never stopped going to concerts , I missed this one !!!!

[@Mike_Davitt728]

Sickest cover of all time That is my kind of love

[@vicbro3564]

Jeff and Stone were the only ones in MLB.

[@keithmoore9969]

Not really a cover... Alot of original band members in this song....

[@pawelrok]

Greetings for ALL for YOU from my heart from Poland 🇵🇱🤝🤜🤛♥️🤍 For me ,sh.. this is really Top 🔝.®️'N'®️ FOREVER LIVE IN OUR HEARTS ❗️🎸🎙💯🔝👏🤞🫶🔘

[@suzyq2525]

Thank you for the tribute to the GREAT Andrew Wood!!! Luv it!

[@umjess]

I dont understand why people get mad at this. Eddie Vedder has said it is an honor. Im sure Andrew would be delighted too, its such a great cover and his old band is keeping him alive in a respectable way. i believe it took them a long time (10 yrs) to cover this for the first time. I recently saw a Pearl jam tribute band cover this song; that was disgusting.. Pearl Jam has every right..

[@TwitchLV]

I love it when they play Crown of Thorns live cause that's what Andy always anted, to have his music sung in front of tens of thousands of people. Great tribute especially because they never play the first part Chloe Dancer, that song belongs to Andy. I was at the show in Vegas for their tenth anniversary and Eddie asked Stone and Jeff before the show if they could play it as a tribute to Andy and they have played it a few times since

[@laurawatters914]

AWESOME!!! R.I.P. ANDY WOOD😇♥️

[@TheNatashaoliveira]

I love pearl jams cover to this jam but i really do wish Andy wood was still with us. Would have loved to have met him.

[@edwardjam9832]

Great version but the best live would probably be Toronto 2011.

[@XTwittyX]

this is my kinda love it's the kind that moves on it's the kind that leaves me alone

[@FriedChickenofDeath6]

What a huge performance. Saw them live some months ago and (although they didn't play this song) it was mindblowing. The whole set was amazing. Bet concert ever.

[@LunaStarGalactica]

In love with that voice.... gosh!!

[@pawelrok]

Absolutely Great. TANK YOU from Heart... Greetings form POLAND ,from RnR country

[@masean2000]

@michaeljamesmccabe That was Andrew Wood> He was a very deep person. MLB and the time of this music was an awsome time. Eddie dose do it justice though

[@illinole]

great job...love the video!!

[@raphaelnascimentovidal4983]

Pearl Jam forever!!! The best group

[@jimeden]

Chills, every damn time.

[@catalinaguliaew]

Excelente versión de Pearl Jam en homenaje a los comienzos... a Andy :)

[@whitneygibson3431]

I imagine this is a hard one to confront, yet, a seminal part of Stone & Jeff's past with the man who wrote this, the iconic Andrew Wood, the mystery of what could had been, if only.....if only. Eddie does a respectful & heartfelt version. He, too, is a rare talent. I think he's the perfect individual to sing it, due to the fact that he stepped into Andrew's former role, more or less. Rest easy, dear Andrew, your close friends Chris & Layne are there now, along with the lovely Demri by Layne's side, even Kurt likely stops by from time to time, Mike Starr & hopefully Scott Weiland too.

[@kabangj]

I would assume it is hard to compare the artists and bands of the 90s because they all rocked hard and also have a distinction between each which gives them their style, and rip to all of the legends that passed away in that decade, live long and prosper to the groups and artists who are still jamming. ROCK THE 90s! ...and 80s 70s 60s 50s and 40s.

[@rcherasaro]

waiting for my philly shows.how could the sound be from the boots?thgis is one of my favorite all time songs and i love that pj pays tribute to andrew wood.

[@sledog26]

so what are you sayin dude? nobody should ever cover this song just because you like the way andy sang it? im not saying any version is better than the other but im pretty sure andy would be incredibly honored that pearl jam is carrying out his legacy.

[@MsJilsephonie]

damn this is beautiful rip layne staley and andrew wood

[@thauanemilio9673]

[@angelicarodrigues9805]

Eddie, forever❤

[@theflyingdonkeypunch]

It's been over twenty years. Twenty! How has time gone so fast?

[@afro1samuri]

Why do some people get mad when PJ covers this? Two of the fuckin members of Pearl Jam wrote the damn song.

[@aintnoloser1]

@michaeljamesmccabe great. i was at their concert in rome in 95, i guess. to me pearl jam are a sort of older brothers of mine, in a way...i'm not a nostalgic person, but sometimes i'd lke to be back to 90's...anyway, i used to play this mother love bone song with my band...and i still remember when i watched the movie 'singles' with my sister: we've been laughin all the time...

[@42smeggly]

Fucking great

[@shanef8224]

good old spectrum, man it was a good venue..

[@Capt_kook]

thankz

[@gabrielafreitas9579]

❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘

[@SuzyGall1]

Love this song and Eddie does a brilliant job, but it will always belong to Andy.

[@laurawatters914]

My opinion I think Eddie and the band does a fantastic job on that song!! R.I.P. ANDY WOOD 😇 IM PRETTY HE'S LOOKING DOWN AND ENJOYING THIS!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Ohh and Mike Mccready WOW AMAZING!!!!

[@dougmoore6921]

Half cover since Gossard and Ament helped arrange the original version.. This is by far the beat sound I've heard..

[@joeworre1]

Im all about it!!!

[@nybakg]

@TheDugC yes, it's a cover

[@lovmjking58]

that was a booo or ? I FREAKING LOVE THEM

[@katherinefarris-stanley4710]

...back to the past...way back

[@katherinefarris-stanley4710]

❤️

[@666Martioli]

@SofaKingWhiteFU Watch PJ20 documentary and you'll see the Seattle scene, Alice in Chains, Mother Love Bone (PJ), Soundgarden... they were all friends and jammed together, Nirvana came after, but grew faster... they were outsiders of the scene...

[@AeternWarrior25]

I hope for you that "Die" stands for the German definite article

[@michop21]

FLYERS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLAYOFF TIME TONIGHT!

[@depair3151]

♥️❤️♥️❤️🤘🏼

[@kiloggolik]

I've watched enough Flyers/Eagles games to recognize what a Philadelphia crowed sounds like when it turns sour. He was a few words away from getting shanked in the parking lot after the show.

[@burnjburn]

By a bunch of retards.

[@bencochrane267]

it's not booing....the crowd is yelling BOOOOM for Boom Gaspar

[@katherinefarris-stanley4710]

🔥💥hot hot hot

[@truentfindshome]

They were booing MSG(NY) not Eddie.

[@cjmst3k]

where's the audio from? your camera, or the boot that was just released?

[@Whoporschedatis]

Eddies voice so much better than that other guy

[@TheDugC]

Stone and Jeff were in Mother Love Bone so is it still an actual cover?

[@katherinefarris-stanley4710]

Something about the building or the other one or something

[@heavenlydemonic23]

It is not like they used this song to get famous, They already were the ten years after they started playing it, Since people think that only Andy Wood should sing it then i guess when folks are at home learning how to play guitar dont play other bands music because that is just wrong. So make up your own shit . honestly this is a great song and shouldnt be shelved , they have every right to play it oh and Woods voice was good but Eddie is a legend period. I dont even see the fucking argument

[@matthewhurley1]

Great song and performance...too bad the camera guy couldn't keep the damn thing focused

[@edhombre]

yup, thats what I am saying.

[@mikerichard4497]

I OWE THE MAIN SOME MONEY, SO IM TURNING OVER HONEY.......

[@melissat990]

Has anyone ever NOT been at the live show?

[@1978peoples]

Haha yes. Me.

[@Capt_kook]

grunge is my religion

[@JackTheUnknown]

it's a matter of taste, im a singer myself , and everything eddie does is so simple and easy for me, but if i have to cover AIC or Mother love bone then the job get's complicated you know what i mean, i'm not saying that he sings awfull, i'm saying that he is not Layne Staley or Andy Wood or Phil Anselmo or Robert Plant

[@kevinmcguire1766]

Being harder to perform doesn't make it better. There is a difference between art and athletics.

[@janetcarrier313]

Notice Eddie doesn't sing "Chloe Dancer"... to touching, too sensitive... to close to home... he doesn't sing the "Chloe Dancer" section until 2011... both very significant years in his life... (09, and 2011)...

[@edhombre]

Although Eddie does a good job of singing this song I just can't help but to thing they should have sang a different Mother love bone song like stardog champion instead of this one. For some reason I just see this song as one that only Andrew should sing. Yes I know that sounds dumb so go ahead and make your comments if you want.

[@JackTheUnknown]

and By the way, the song he wrote about Layne's death sucked balls i liked jeremy tho

[@justmissjamey]

He didnt do the prettiest part in the beginning of the song

[@keithmoore9969]

How can eddie sing so well but can't even put words together 🤣.. he stutters alot lol...

[@davidstorey6986]

they chose him to be Jim!!! listening to Pearl Jam for te first time! Shite

[@katherinefarris-stanley4710]

This is so . It doesn't even make sense I mean

[@davidburnham5098]

art=expression doesn't have to make sense.

[@JackTheUnknown]

you know what, i agree with you cause there's no way in hell pearl jam would have done stardog champion or crown of thorns with any other singer but Robert Plant of led zep. eddie is not that good, Layne staley and Andy wood were in the higher level along with Robert plant and Ozzy osbourne. the elite .

[@keithmoore9969]

Good thing he doesn't say uh.... Like every third word when he singsborvthere would have never been a pearl jam.... Uhhhhhj....😂.

[@benmurden5218]

I adore Crown of Thorns, but the frigging guitar that opens the song here is out of tune. I love the main 2 chords that drive this classic song, but when the guitar kicks in at the start it’s a proper cringe moment. Eddie Vedder doesn’t sing the song that especially Andrew Wood-like well either.

[@Ultra7165]

wow way to butcher a song

[@phlood69]
