"Rockin' the Free World" Super Jam - 2017 Induction Ceremony Full Performance

[@jdb44]

I love how they brought Geddy Lee in the 9th inning like a closing pitcher.

[@shawnuel]

I assume you realize how much Geddy would appreciate that baseball metaphor. He is a HUGE fan. Big time Roto league owner as well.

[@danmidkiff5416]

At 3:43, he's watching from the wings as Alex is playing. You have to watch close.

[@patriciaotten862]

I loved this tune by Neil Young the moment I heard it, and it makes my heart very happy to see the younger generation rocking this song and covering it to this degree of awesomeness!

[@javajuls2u]

There's no voice like Neil Young's.

[@patriciaotten862]

The sheer, unadulterated ENERGY of this cover is positively insane!!

[@eddiebranden1]

Geddy Lee comes on stage, Jeff Ahmet switches to acoustic guitar mid song. Mad respect.

[@ddt99]

This is power. This is real. This is music. This is rock and roll. This is irreplacable. This is awesome.

[@virginiaknighten4687]

This is jamming with Pearl and friends!

[@niishantsharma9884]

We love you 🎉❤😊

[@122Kittykat]

Loved seeing Geddy and Alex playing side by side! As it should be!

[@aaronkendrick462]

I swear, every performance I watch, you can just see the passion pouring out from Eddie.

[@patriciaotten862]

Loving ❤ this!! Old school and not so old school coming together! Just fucking awesomeness!

[@patriciaotten862]

RIGHT??!!! Exactly my thoughts and feelings about this!!

[@jhoagland9457]

That’s the right amount of guitars. Wow, awesome.

[@subham.mitra07]

There can never be enough guitars!

[@toddrichardson8595]

This is MUSIC!! Not the CRAP on the radio today... Pearl Jam and Rush on the same stage!!!! My God!! Jack Irons drumming beside Matt Cameron!! Neil Schon going nuts!! This is what Legends look like!!!

[@scottarnold9373]

And Trevor Rabin and Jon Lord!

[@mmbbcc-gg9ef]

Ok boomer

[@javajuls2u]

So great to see Neal.

[@kwhat3588]

That's a stage full of legends right there!!

[@barbpence8784]

K What It can't get better then this love this so much🎤🎸❤️

[@toddrichardson8595]

You're a woman of knowledge. There's more talent on that stage than can be comprehended! Plus, I got to see Pearl Jam and Rush play together!! Ecstasy!!

[@kwhat3588]

Todd Richardson I'm so jealous! Love Rush, but Pearl Jam Black is one of my top 10 songs. You can really feel his soul! Especially the MTV unplugged version.

[@outwrite11]

That was epic. Great to see Alex and Geddy up on stage with my equal heroes Pearl Jam. Jeez, what a night.

[@jamesk2113]

Love how Geddy is just chilling at the back

[@anthonyrome7543]

Yeah, it's almost like he's thinking "Is this all you want me to do?"

[@MikeDijital]

My favorite part of the whole thing!

[@Taitless]

He knows the night isn't about him, it wasn't the year they were inducted. they were there for Yes.

[@marksme]

Neil Young Thank You for everything!

[@ritawells6426]

"Rockin' ( in ) the Free World". Go Eddie. You still got it baby.

[@fitnessdad00jb58]

Crazy he sounds exactly the same as he did singing this 25 years ago in 92. He's truly talented.

[@RustyHinge]

Yep. As off-key as ever.

[@kettlebellbobiepodcast1155]

No he doesn't

[@lassefagerli9213]

Bon Jovi's version is much better imo

[@sachsgs2509]

Neil Young

[@AK47HEAVYMETAL83]

Because he kept on “fucking in the free world”

[@langzikesch25]

its a classic when Ed's face lights up when someone hands him a bottle of red! 🤘 awesome version too

[@pyzdynwhapay8373]

Langmusic it was jerry cantrell haha, take a look at him in the front row

[@christophergibblings1812]

it cut out the part where he spits it out though haha

[@Sylomemphis]

This is pure music thank you pearl Jam you deserve the hall of fame and much love and respect To all legends playing

[@shushutany6034]

Neal Schon’s solo is always full of impressive melody!!!!

[@javajuls2u]

Loved "GO NEAL GO" 😮

[@AndroidGamesPlay]

Could you imagine if a band like this toured and they released an album - that would be the pinnacle

[@deanstrand4260]

The only problem would be keeping everyone's egos at bay. Otherwise, there would be too many disagreements, ppl walking out, etc.

[@NK-bz9wb]

Everyday several of my heartbeats belong to Pearl Jam. Seeing as I'm 23, I'll be devastated one day.. All this passion is emotional to watch. Words fail to describe

[@Wyatt-sh4qz]

I feel the same. I listen to them everyday, Jeremy is my personal favorite, especially the live versions. I will be devastated when the bad news comes too, but i am glad we both were born while they exist. I'm 23 as well, i hope i can see them live sometime soon

[@dbstrozier]

It's so great to see young fans appreciating the brilliance that is PJ. I was 18 when PJ became a band. They quickly became my fave. I was 24 when I first saw them live. There is simply nothing like it. 🥰

[@javajuls2u]

My hope for you is what I've had with Journey. 50 years! Bands change over the years, we lost Steve Perry from the band years ago. Pearl Jam will be yours forever one way or another ❤

[@javajuls2u]

❤ I'm 63 they stick with you long after they're gone. You can always come back

[@JackycClark]

Dudes could feel the power of the sound they brought together and it kept fueling them to push it out to levels they'd never reached

[@johnomeara6994]

First time I watched it. Insane good! Journey , rush , Pearl jam. Wow. Speechless.

[@samarramiresz7005]

The only things missing are enthusiastic audience. I would've blown my head off head bangin' this outstanding jam.

[@osito2]

Neal Schon on the first solo, Alex Lifeson on the second one and Rabin in the end. So fucking cool. Jeff giving the bass to Geddy was awesome too.

[@mauriciobarbosa8936]

.

[@cypher515]

That is so weird... Trevor Rabin looked to me like a slightly-off Steve Howe. Which to _some_ is exactly what he is, so... :P

[@glyn420]

Schon shows he can rip. His days with Santana come out on this solo.

[@SuperStrik9]

Class move by Jeff. Also Mike McCready letting Neal, Alex and Trevor solo was a gracious move on his part. The guys in Pearl Jam are class acts all the way.

[@glyn420]

@@SuperStrik9 letting? Wasn’t a Pearl Jam show was a jam at a rock n toll hall of fame induction.

[@FreeFallerGames]

4:23 Geddy wanted to come out so Jeff switched over to an acoustic. That's awesome.

[@DarkEliteEric]

FreeFallerGames Jeff???

[@bluesboy25000]

Real recognize real. Hell, I am sure Jeff even bows at Geddy's altar.

[@olivermateo3109]

Respect to Mr. Ament's RESPECT to Mr. Lee!!!!!

Missing Neil and Steve up there on the stage. I love it when bands mix it up together, fluid, and having a great time like the party of a lifetime.

[@LuisHernandez-rf6ru]

What a voice has this guy, what a voice

[@systemsoversymptomsvisionw9806]

I love the way Eddie sings at 1:57 "Under an old street Li-i-ighttt".

[@mooniejohnson]

You can tell they're all having so much fun. It's awesome.

[@ANGUSYOUNGISMYGOD]

Never thought I'd see members of Pearl Jam and Journey share a stage. FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

[@dubstar2364]

One of the highlights of my life was getting to see Pearl Jam perform this live in the 90s during a co-headline tour with Iggy effin' Pop!

[@pipecito2112YYZcol]

... So that's how heaven's music sounds like. Wow what a gig! Live legends, on stage!

[@m0wkiee]

3:43 Geddy on Lifeson's solo: "That's my boy..."

[@lassefagerli9213]

Love the way Mike just stops up when he sees that Alex is about to rip a solo

[@venomboxingchannel]

rock will never die some fools say rock is dead this just another proof that they are so wrong it is in our souls and down deep to the bone truly amazing

[@NewYorkJammer]

That performance is hall of fame worthy.

[@EmersonRonydeOliveira]

oh my gosh... i'm crying man, crying.. every time i watch this.. all my favorite musicians at the same stage... it's too much to handle, as ray said.... I've never imagine to see smt like that... it's always a pleasure watch it again...

[@Nasenschweinaffe]

Goosebumps! Old men still can Rock!

[@VangeliRock]

I appreciate how PJ keeps on rockn in the free world.

[@ChicagoBeaver]

I saw them here in Portland Oregon in 2009 or so (my brain doesn't remember the exact date hee), at the Rose Garden Arena. When I lived in Seattle the first album came out so I was a fan from the beginning. The most energetic band ever!! PEARL JAM FOREVER!!!!

[@paulfitz6614]

This song perfectly describes America. Energetic, powerful, optimistic, and creative music with lyrics that describe a tragedy of inequality, struggle and oppression. Most of the people blasting this track on 4th of July never listen to the lyrics.

[@greengraveangel666]

Goosebumps every time you listen to this starting from Pinkpop until here and it will continue. PJ ♥️

[@robertwiesler381]

One of the best songs ever written Very well done They have so much fun

so what you will want to do now, is watch the neilyoung/pearljam version of this song performed on the Mtv music awards. to this day it is my favorite performance, i ball like a baby almost every time. pay attention to Eddie though, he keeps looking back and jeff and neil playing the guitar like he can't believe what he's seeing. it's almost to much to watch. it's music tapping into the soul, into the core, into the very fiber of the existence of the condition of the emotionally connected human being from 1 to another. man i would have given anything for neil to have made this ceremony.....

[@JackycClark]

Good heads up .
