Pearl Jam- Ship Song (Red Rocks 1995)

[@mzk123ify]

Some of you need to relax...are you even aware of what a privilege it is to see a band so comfortable with their fans that they are willing to just jam and try something new right in front of you...this is an intimate moment and I wish I was there to see it and live it.

[@truthislight]

I was there too. Before the show, we hung out at the top of the Ampitheater and watched Eddie sound check... So amazing... They did a 6-7 acoustic set to open. Then a FULL on show. Peeee Jay!!!!

[@pabloquintela]

They're big enough to set their egos aside and stop the song in front of a live audience when they realize they're not making it right. That's a band that understands art. In my opinion, this makes them even greater.

[@johnq4ward]

Eddie isnt trying to outdo an artist...ever - he brings awareness to the lesser/otherwise unknown songs and artists...i appreciate the post and his rendition. now i can seek out the source and enjoy the original as well. unless u r the orig artist and tell EV to avoid it, avoid your negative comment.

I wish Johnette and Nick had been there to sing alongside them! :) love pearl jam, love this song, love nick cave. Beautiful :)

[@nikki2sox]

Thanks for posting. I'm a die hard Nick Cave fan and cringed when I saw this at first, but Eddie actually has the voice to give it a unique perspective.

[@goodnessgracious3268]

This was the second night in a row at Red Rocks and the last show of the tour. I was at the show the night before this. It was the famous no ticket master tour. Tickets were tough to get.

[@GGiblet]

classic song, love the way PJ does it! woothefreakinghoo :)

[@satarnag]

Pear Jam always had gothic overtones in their music. So it's great to hear them do a cover of Nick Cave

[@bacilo19]

Pear Jam and gothic overtones? You really need a basic music education, after all here it's obvious that his audience doesn't even know who Nick Cave is!

[@keirarowe1409]

I ❤ this :)

[@brunosm.l2267]

Woooooooooooooo. beautiful

[@eddydagun]

love pearl jam, love this song, love nick cave. Beautiful :)

[@wickedpussy]

*heavy sigh* this performance takes my breath away... every... single... time...

[@Nigelxman]

Not much of a Pearl Jam fan but it's kind of cool seeing them do a Nick Cave song.

[@sleazer1992]

it's a nick cave song from the good son album

[@maryjo5720]

I love that album, I listen many times!

[@satarnag]

@polistyrenejassband I used to listen to Pearl Jam as some of their songs I could relate to the mood. I also liked David Bowie's "The man who sold the world" and considered Nirvana as having a Goth overtone on some of their songs, especially on Nevermind. So I was pleasantly surprised they made a cover of the Man who sold the world. And for the record, STFU as I am almost 40 years old and Gothier than thou! ;)

[@lillynietz17]

IF you come on stage & Know a Song....KNOW the Song!...... Doi!... Listen to Nick's Versions on his Website Nickcave.com

[@lauragreaser3461]

Oh please. Calm yourself. He brought positive attention to the song and when he felt he wasn’t honoring it enough, he decided to quit. There’s no rule he had to do the whole song. He’s human.

[@lillynietz17]

Yeah, your right on... Thanks!@@lauragreaser3461

[@BlackAngusYoung]

thanks for posting!

[@youknowsheshalfcrazy]

Never heard this beautiful song with less emotion. Listen to the original by Nick Cave (at Songwriter´s circle); then you know what I mean. This song doesn´t work on guitar at all. Btw, saying Nick Cave is an unknown artist is like calling Tom Waits or Leonard Cohen just two old men with hats. Cave is a brilliant songwriter.

[@terrance22ism]

listen to eddie vedder doing it as cover its better than this one and better than nic caves eddies solo version has more emotion than both of them.

[@brunosm.l2267]

Don't be a purist. I think is beautiful that they did this. Great artist know great artist. And consider that Nick Cave weren't much popular within that particular scene

[@DustyAndPistolPete]

@cesarmarins In fairness they just made it up on a whim.Eddie did a cover of it on his solo tour you should look it up,he actualy finished the whole song,ha.

[@setialphasix]

I wish Johnette and Nick had been there to sing alongside them! :)

[@eldermorales452]

@youknowsheshalfcrazy watch martha wainwrights version and you may change your mind about that love pearl jam, love this song, love nick cave. Beautiful :)

[@W103WWRW]

Interersting too that he was rescued 250 feet off of New Zealand in 1995 too.

[@satarnag]

@LantaGem Thanks! They can say what they want, but we see them as the way they are. Hell, even Andrew Eldritch said his music and style wasn't goth.

[@malyfromhell74]

great cover

[@bostonsandatot4948]

Omggggggggggg

[@BBellew3]

Eddie later did a solo acoustic version of this, which is much better.

[@lyndaframe1986]

Just arrived in heaven. He sung this and my heart jumped.

[@NinaOnUTube1]

@Holyjammer Can you, please, tell me which portuguese singer. I am looking but can't find anything related...Thanx.

[@setialphasix]

Just realized that Pearl Jam's initials are "P.J.", same as Nick Cave's greatest love, P.J. Harvey! :) Coincidence, yes, but cool nonetheless! :)

[@jasonadkins8475]

@Mare4694 You do if you're Concrete Blonde, buddy. @youknowsheshalfcrazy watch martha wainwrights version and you may change your mind about that

[@youknowsheshalfcrazy]

@silowhore I have to agree that her guitar-playing is very good on this song, and it does work. Never thought it would. Anyway I don´t like Wainwrights singing in this case. Still I think it´s sad that this (Pearl Jam´s) version is so emotionless and just bad.

[@brunosm.l2267]

What does he say before "he'll never know"?

[@mischr13]

"he's probably in London so he's probably sleeping and he'll never know"

[@brunosm.l2267]

You should have edited out the first minute. I guess some people like hearing a bunch of faceless people screem WOOOOO over and over again...

[@diazannabelle5273]

Way to rape a classic Eddie.... I wish Johnette and Nick had been there to sing alongside them! :) great cover

[@eliinnos]

He could at least have learned the lyrics..

[@gegemec]

have a look at martha wainwright's version!!! this is WOODEN by comparison with her's, this one seems like a bit of early morning guitar strumming fruppery to me.

[@g33fer94]

I'm a fan of Eddie, but this isn't a good cover.

[@EchoesonMars]

+G eefer literally why they stopped

[@thebipolarbear2639]

Nick Cave is the artist, and an Aussie. Eddie, as usual butchered a beautiful song. Same on you Pearl Spam

[@dukeyflyswatter]

Not so fond of this version. They take out the power and the melodrama.

[@bacilo19]

Awful cover!

[@GGiblet]

classic song, love the way PJ does it! woothefreakinghoo :)
