PEARL JAM *WILDFLOWERS* Vedder / Tom Petty live at XCEL ENERGY CENTER St. Paul on 8/31/23 concert

[@brendanhardy5329]

Probably the greatest, happiest moment of my life seeing this man perform this song at this concert. Immediately made me think of my wife and how she has been chasing contentness and self-confidence for so long and she's finally finding it this summer. She was there with me! Pure freedom. Pure cathartic release. I've never cried so much during a concert. I just turned 32 and this band has gotten me through so many dark times already. I wish so bad I could do night 2! Thank you so much to all the guys in PJ and thank you so much Eddie Vedder for this cover. I will cherish that night for as long as I live.

[@brianfriend7737]

You like this, you should have been front row when Tom did it. Eddie is amazing

[@virginiaknighten4687]

Your comment was beautiful. Your wife is a very lucky lady. Hope y’all have a wonderful long life together.

[@lindacone4639]

Wow ….beautiful moment …thank you for sharing this ….I’m sorry to hear about your wife passing ..keep this video on hand at all times …grief is like glitter ….it never really goes away but your sure glad you had it 🙏. My husband died suddenly too…I’ve learned how to go on and be joyful and music helps …best to you

[@laurawatters914]

​@lindacone4639 I lost my husband too, and Pearl Jam helped me through some really dark times, especially their song "Come Back " 😢 hits me real hard but it helped me coup with my husband death. I'm sorry for everyone's loss. All I know is music does heal broken hearts like mine here's to Pearl Jam!!!

[@virginiaknighten4687]

@@laurawatters914 “Come Back” would be a very special song that could hold beautiful memories for you…Laura God bless you and help you heal your heart and soul. Love ❤️✌️🤘🙏

[@tammywhite2186]

Thank you Eddie for keeping Tom's music and memories alive .You are a beautiful person. ❤

[@pauljericksen]

I have always loved this song. I was the recording engineer on this album . The producer, Peter Wolf, insisred that the band write a ballad tune. They resisted a bit at first. They went back to their hotel that night and wrote that song. The next day they came to the studio and proudly presented this heartfelt song. We recorded it and the rest is now history. The feeling I get ny reading these comments is very special and hard to describe. I can't believe it was over 30 years ago ❤🎶🥲

[@jaybones7492]

That’s so cool! You are actually a part of that song’s history!!❤

[@sethbucy1755]

Dude I'm so jelly. Thank you so much for the work, possibly the greatest album ever written, particularly now that I've heard all of it. You,Tom, and Harry Green are friend of mine. Changed my life initially and continues to bring me joy, peace love and happiness brother

[@leceillebeckmeyer3195]

You one very lucky guy!

[@billjohnson3970]

Tom petty will forever live on and your a part of that your one lucky person.

[@jennypenny8159]

Thank you for being a part of making it happen. I love this song so much.

[@remygarrison1451]

Putting others first. Mr Humble. Knows he’s blessed. Seizes the moment with inspirational talent. What else can ya say about this man, a wonderful human being.

[@PNdebt-hc2tg]

WTF is humble about bragging of blowing pot smoke in someone's face? Seems rude to me.. Apply the same logic to cigarettes...

[@terrymott2816]

His fan's safety first, remembers musicians we've lost, sings words of comfort to a grieving man..🩷

[@gsmom3883]

I have a feeling Eddie is a really nice human.

[@shellylavigne5913]

He’s a talented Empath with a great heart and a soothing voice.❤

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

This is what the internet was invented for!! I probably will not get an opportunity to see Pearl Jam live but a day after this concert I get to see Eddie on KZbin!! Thank you!!!

[@Drucilla-bj6sr]

Amen

[@fayemaggielamont6586]

Oh yes, I know that same situation but to see Eddie via u tube is thrilling...thanks so very much! ❤

[@melodyelson3202]

Yes, thank you for saying that ... We can all share his words and music 🎶 with friends and family, so his thoughts will never end ...A credit to utube for saving history

[@kariparsons7718]

A man that appreciates great music and those who have influenced music. He understands the importance of Tom Petty❤️❤️

[@karenoakes6749]

and Prince...so glad he mentioned him.

[@johnnydodgecountry9508]

This guy can hold an audience's attention like there's no tomorrow. Truly , 10 cuts above most other singers.

[@thejaniepeters]

I 100% agree and have said that myself many times. While it’s important to keep the music coming, most lead singers will greet the crowd briefly, introduce the band, then say goodnight. Eddie always takes time to tell great stories and connect with the audience. It’s a tribal experience. Other bands should take notes.

[@LisaStratton-y8c]

I know that it will never happen, but wouldn't it be great to have a tour of Eddie Vedder and the Heartbreakers. Call it the "We miss you Tom tour".

[@GailMcGuire-wi5kk]

I like that idea

[@beecee9681]

I love Eddie Vedder's rendition of "The Waiting."

[@The518Playa]

I'd love this too!!!!!! ❤❤❤ Omg I'd love it 😭💔

[@clintdickerson887]

No joking. There's a video of Adam Sandler doing a tom Petty song and it's amazing. I always wanted him to tour with them. Probably wouldn't go well because people would want him to be funny and stuff but it was awesome

[@BordBert-em3ft]

Absolutely agree

[@AndrewSmith-pc8eq]

From swinging thru the rafters, in Boston Garden, on Pearl Jams 1st tour, to making me cry today, Eddy Vedder has always moved me! He's a true artist, who's ever evolving! Shit he didn't even play guitar in the beginning, and look at him now!

[@Heather-jl9cb]

We lost so many greats over the years, Tom for me was such a gutt punch! One of the best shows I ever went too and I love Pearl Jam. We are all Wildflowers❤

[@gsmom3883]

TOTALLY shocking!!!

[@chellyr4972]

I saw him and the heartbreakers so many times. They were SO good just good music, Tom petty jokes very professional but so laid back. I love those guys. The day he died out my front door several neighbors were on their porches playing petty songs. A friend sent ME condolences haha. I made my band learn a petty song. The guys didn’t want to but they surprised me and did it. Before the played it they said I made them do it haha. Anyway if was a gif punch especially since the medi announced him dead 18 hours before he really was and it was hard to grieve because the las Vegas shooting happened same day.

[@dancox3556]

I saw the Tom Petty band with Jacob Dylan and The Wallflowers . Awesome 😊

[@paintyourheartout]

Just today I watched the movie on the making of the Wildflower Album! My very 😍 favorite. Tom Petty lives on in the realm of love and music.

[@SubSonicDistortion]

Ed is just a kind soul, always thinking about others. Every show I see or watch he always makes a point of mentioning things like this and its so refreshing. Cheers Eddie, we all need to follow your kindness and make this world better.

[@judysteadman799]

Precious beautiful man. 🙏 for health and happiness 🙏 🙏

[@chellyr4972]

Awww that was nice. Someone feels really special.

[@emenem6131]

Never ceases to amaze me. Through the stages of life how he can cover another artist or friends song and it’s never a let down. Rip Tom

[@jeffhext]

I love everything about this dude. Been with PJ since the inception.

[@parkereberhard7580]

I worked as a stagehand in my college days. Ended up working a PJ show in either ‘98 or ‘99; I think it was the tour for Yield…anyways we were doing the bands load in and the band showed up to the venue. Eddie gets off the bus (this was when they were at the top of their game) and came over to the trucks a and started helping us unload the bands gear. The band also gave the stage hands the same catering that the band got; big steaks, fish, chicken, you name it! Great guys all around

[@bryanbuff]

Eddie’s transition into an old hippie stoner rock god is almost complete.

[@karenasadi231]

God you are amazing; wish I could see you live.

[@SuperMcabral]

I mourn Tom Petty almost every day as his music is on all my programmed channels on my car radio. My husband and I loved him and I miss him every time I hear any of our music. My son turned me on to Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Metallica, Foo Fighters and I love Eddy Vedder and Dave Grohl on my own. Nothing can compare to the 60's and 70's music and those we've lost from our generation.

[@SheCox-cr3wd]

What a beautiful, kind soul.

[@angeladecarlo195]

This is Awesome in the deepest part of my heart… long live the truly memorable musicians that helped mend my broke heart and spirit by the lyrics that flowed through them to my mind body and soul!

[@lifesabitch8012]
