Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter (BEST LIVE VERSION) HD HQ

[@bakabana1967]

discovered this Pearl Jam last weekend, i am 73…..and now it’s non stop, thank you Pearl Jam !

[@lauraa744]

@bakabana1967: You go man!!!! I'm 60 but I've loved em since the 90's .... Good for you being open with music choices

[@evil1st]

RIP Chris, RIP Kurt, RIP Scott, RIP Layne. All we have left is Eddie.

[@mordecaismopstick]

Scotts not up there with the 4 of em

[@Nicagwody]

Eddie is goddamn national treasure. I don't agree with a lot of his politics but I would cherish a hangout session with that man. I got into the grunge game kind of late but let me just say, these guys are true artists. Keep grunge alive! Say a prayer for the ones we lost and cherish the one we got left!

[@donalddevaney2239]

Exactly as Eddie wanted it

[@zombywoof1015]

Mm hmm. So what have we learned? Not only that grunge was crap but it kills.

[@GeoffreyEatWorld]

Forgive me, but we still have Dave from Soul Asylum too. Not a big I know. But still,.

[@SpookieVonDookie]

I have been looking for this version for YEARS

[@KoeyJovach]

I remember discovering this on Napster in the late 90s/early 2000s. Only took me roughly two decades to find it again!

This is one the best songs the Pearl Jam has ever performed. . Brings back beat memories. .

[@gibran7912]

yet, make no sense.. at lest to me..

[@angiefalber2983]

@Vinicius, It's about a man who just found out that his brother died at war. He gets emotional and drunk and decides to go out for a walk. While out for the walk, he sees an elderly couple with an American flag out on the porch, and he waves to them. But instead of waving, they just kind of look down at the long haired guy waving at them. "Oh yeah, can you see them, out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't wave. I see them 'round the front way, yeah. And I know, and I know I don't wanna stay. Make me cry." This makes him more emotional. "I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag." That's why the tenor of the song is so sad... Eddie Vedder admitted that he recorded the song when he was a bit drunk, so he's not quite sure what the exact words were, lol, so they're ever changing. If you notice, you rarely hear the same exact lyrics from show to show. The chorus does seem to stay the same, though. Hope that explains it for you. ❤

[@joedoherty5608]

@@gibran7912 that’s part of the beauty of this song, make it whatever you want it to be about. there’s no real lyrics and they are ever changing as the other commentator mentioned. eddie once said “I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music... The best songs are the ones that make you feel something” music can be very personal and emotional. don’t try and make it black and white!!

[@Jodiacap]

One voice, one guitar .... Tibetan Freedom Concert 1997 .... amazing version, the best for me 🎆🎆🎆🎆

[@racefanrobin]

I was there!! What a weekend. I still have my concert t shirt. Always makes me happy when I come across it.

[@jenellarmstrong17]

Best version ever!! ❤😢

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS THIS IS THE BEST VERSION EVER! HAVENT HEARD IT IN TEN YEARS MINIMUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[@darrelllatham6086]

It connects with people because for the lack of clarity we hear a sea of emotion.

[@godraelrisen6231]

Darrell Latham so very true.🙂

[@LoneWolfJoe]

This is the perfect way to describe this song.. The perfectionist in me always hated that there were no actual consistent or precise lyrics to this song, but hearing it described the way you did, it makes sense now. Thanks man! Lol

[@drralph100]

I heard Mick Jagger say he intentionally mumbled a lot of words so people would come up with their own song and make it theirs.

[@zombywoof1015]

Nope. I like the Stratocaster. Very expressive guitar.

[@zombywoof1015]

@@drralph100 don't ya just love when an artist comes back 20-50 years later and explains an earlier song? Oh that's about blah blah blah. No dude. You were stoned and had to complete the lyrics for the LP you were putting out.

[@PearlJamfansaresmart]

Dang this is fantastic. Wowzers

[@stillalive--]

Best live version ever from Tibetan freedom concert in 97.

[@RochelleEskue]

Because you can understand the butchered lyrics here?

[@stillalive--]

@@RochelleEskue no, because of the voice range.

[@RochelleEskue]

@@stillalive-- Hey, I can respect that, but in your opinion does he sound that much different than he does from the original studio version? I'm listening to this, but not hearing anything in range all that different from their original let alone the two-times I've seen them live. All I know is their audiences sing louder when Ed isnt changing the lyrics to favorites such as this one. Annunciation usually flies out the window when PJ comes to town, but don't ya just love them regardless? HAHAHA

[@stillalive--]

@@RochelleEskue I was referring to live versions... Studio version is surely the best! I agree with the rest!

[@dianekennedy876]

Best version is in 2000 on their tour of Germany

[@pasystem56]

EPIC, Elegant... Divine. Beautiful. TY Eddie for the Beautiful Music.

[@hateconfusionandthreat2702]

Right, I agree with you that this song is the best piece of PEARL JAM.

THANK YOU for sharing it!!!!!!!!!!!! I had it saved on an old device and can't retrieve it. I would LOVE to have the file again....hint hint

[@leinonibishop9480]

1997 Tibetan Freedom concert. "In a surprise appearance on Sunday morning, 15 minutes before the concert's announced starting time, Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam strummed electric guitars and brooded through ''Corduroy,'' ''Yellow Ledbetter'' and Neil Young's ''Rockin' in the Free World.'' Michael Stipe and Mike Mills of R.E.M. played ''Undertow,'' ''New Leper Test'' and ''Electrolite,'' about spirituality, compassion and love; then Mr. Vedder and Mr. McCready joined them, as Mr. Stipe sang Mr. Vedder's rumination on death, ''Long Road,'' while Mr. Vedder tried wordless parts originally recorded by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan." From the New York Times article "Playing, Swaying and Praying" June 10th, 1997.

My guess is that it’s because there are no drums or bass, which for me pretty much disqualifies it from being the best live version.
