And God help me....my children (One in High School, one in College) will soon say.....I used to listen to this growing up, and it reminds me of home....🌈💖
Hendrix's version was great in a purely musical sense but dylan's was superior in that it was truer and more appropriate with respect to the lyrical aspects and poetic theme of the written words.
Eddie Vedder is the social consort of our times. He is undeniable & insufferable at once. The man is an emulation and transcends generations. Enjoy people!
Absolutely frigging fantastic. Love the way Eddie gives credit. I have been a fan of Fugazi for a long time and they are one of the most underrated bands of all time.Glad Eddie said what he did.
Good God, you've grown into such an incredible MAN. I feel a fool for underestimating you when we were kids, Brother. I related more and preferred Chris. I realize I was probably denying my truer match and passion. And Chris cried so well when I could not cry at all. Most of my old friends are dead now, including, Cornell. Thank you for keeping yourself inside, cultivating it like wilderness and please know how grateful I am for you sharing what you're given. There are so many, I don't have a favorite but perhaps most of all 'Society' helps keep me going and I listen to it and you singing whenever I need. Thank you. Live On, Vedder.
The hug that Eddie Vedder lays on Brendan Canty after the song is over is one of the most touching things I've seen in years! May they both keep playing forever....
+Tony Byrnes "How can you not say it isn't TREMENDOUS". Such a complex sentence. That would be a great title and line in a song. Anyway, let me try --- This version of Watchtower is not tremendous. I guess that is one way of saying it, nicely.
Not sure why you are being sarcastic on this.Either you don't like Eddie Vedder or thus version, or your jealous you have no music talent.This cover is Tremendous!
Tony Byrnes Let's see ... I found your sentence kind of intriguing in its complexity. So I decided to have fun with it, that's all. Since taste is such a relative matter, and your sentence was so emphatic, I just couldn't resist. How my comment could possibly indicate that I am jealous because I have no musical talent is an even more intriguing observation. Would you mind explaining what would lead you to that assumption?
ahhahahahahaa, how true, and in Latin no less. Many people get very upset when you don't like what they like. Want to see something even more dramatic? Say something that confuses them. E pluribus cucurachas meus
Don't care what anyone says, Eddie is a freaking awesome entertainer and a legend of his own personal styles of music and the things he represents in life .....all good ....and I love it ...class act .
Holy shit! One of the greatest vocalist in Rock history playing with a guy who was in the band (that I think) sums up everything wonderful about punk culture. And... AND they are playing a song by the man that invented the 'singer-songwriter' genre of music. Too good... too good.
2.4k dislikes and I guarantee none of them could ever come within a parsec of playing like that; And I don’t even know who this cat is... but he’s got my attention. Thank you Eddie Vedder
Brilliant cover. You can trace elements from both the original Dylan version and the Hendrix version, but it still takes that and creates something new.
I sent you the link for the classic rock show, doing All along the watch tower,,, closer to Hendrix then anyone since Hendrix. If anyone has anything that comparres let me know I want to hear it. The band does other covers also,and they are amazing on them all.
Chris et al.- Check out Neil Young's cover. Several versions, here's a good one, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1DBewzgXgYk.html . Young a visitor from another planet.
Eddie Vedder is such an amazing talented musician. Most musicians find it challenging to sing and play guitar at the same time, yet Eddie Vedder is singing, playing lead guitar and harmonica! He goes even further because he doesn't just sing. He sings, with such intensity as if he is feeling every single word. I am in awe!
Pour moi c'est la meilleur version, et oui, Eddie est hors pair, il est tellement bon qu'il ne se sent pas obligé de jouer d'instruments avec Pearl Jam... Rien a prouver, c'est un vrais!! ... Sinon pour ceux qui ne connaisse pas, la version de ''Lucifer'' (série) solo piano, est aussi très sympa...
@James Hama coffee ahh, a life source. i am busy sifting through numerous boxes of random and odd items my deceased loved ones have left for me to determine their value and grave. Trash, sell, or donate. I hate this crap. What a fizzle on a fire eh?
I just watched Vedder slaughter 3 of my favorite songs, oh God, I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy E.V. again ! Somebody give the guy some new material, jees !!
Two top-shelf musicians playing off each others" strengths. Doesn't get any better. "There are many here among who think that life is but a f...ing joke..."
So help me that my children, (One in High School, one in College) will soon say.....I used to listen to this growing up, and it reminds me of home....🌈💖🤙
Do you know what an Octave is?... Even trained Opera singers only use about Three . A few can manage Five.. Even someone like Mariah Carey can barely make five Octaves.
+Rodrigo Tarpinian No, Eddie isn't he just does the nasty grunge voice growl thing. I also don't understand how he's been playing guitar for so long and still only does power chords...
Dylan is an awful singer, and should never have been allowed to release a single - whether he's a great songwriter is not clear, to be honest, but I'm not going to argue that one
Hendrix was a great guitarist and an OK vocalist, but Vedder's managed to make Jimi sound like a great vocalist by his rendition of this Hendrix classic
Bob dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder. Some of my favorite musicians played this song. all versions are so different, yet all beautiful.
Eddie seems like really nervous with his"ähm...ähm" to play and sing the J....thank god i can be a witness of that!!...but he did it like the last shit!!! just great!!!
