I woke up at 5AM, the tv randomly turned on (it was off when i went to sleep), and this video started playing. Not sure if that was a message from the universe but im here now ❤️🔥
It varies so much everytime i hear it hell i still dont know what eddies singing neither does he 😂still one of my favorite songs ill never know the words to ❤
@@travzimmerman1340 His words on the subject, Eddie Vedder admits that he changes the lyrics and meaning of the song when he performs it, but he wrote the song with one story in mind, which he told at a concert in Newark, New Jersey on August 7, 2008. He asked if anyone had any questions, and a fellow asked what the lyrics to "Yellow Ledbetter" were. Instead of going word for word, Eddie simply told the story of the song. The song was written during the first gulf war, when "Papa Bush" was President, as Eddie calls him. The story is about a young Grunger kid, all dressed up in his flannels with the long greasy hair. His brother goes off to fight in the war and gets killed. He gets a letter that comes in one of those yellow army envelopes and learns of his brother's death. So, all upset, he decides to go out and walk it off. On his walk he passes by a neat, middle-aged or elderly couple sitting on their front porch having some tea, and he sees that they have an American flag out. He gives a wave, because he feels like he relates: "The flag, my brother, you know..." But they don't know, of course. They don't know what's underneath the grunge and the long hair. All they see are the outward appearances, and they don't wave back. The song has changed its meaning over time and Eddie changes the words to suit whatever is on his mind.
@@azos82 Stfu Don't bullshit me If you can't understand lyrics in a song, you can't feel it. That's bullshit. Imagine feeling to someone mumbling lmao 😂 Doesn't make sense
Nice touch, giving out his tambourines and giving that guy a sip of his wine in the end. Cost Eddy nothing but made those niceties made these people's nights which they will remember forever. Class act!
Words can not express the admiration for this band! What they did for Martin and the graciousness to their fans displays humbleness kindness very rarely seen in most of the blessed people..extreme respect
I'm older (58) and never really was into Pearl Jam. But, this and every Live performance of Yellow Ledbetter is one of the best things I've ever heard in my life! I can't stop playing it. Anyone have an idea of meaning - if there is one? Thanks

It leaves something for your imagination....
Its an anti war song, seen from the perspective of a family awaiting the safe return of their son or daughter from an unseen, unwanted conflict who are tragically visited , in an official capacity by representatives of the Army to inform them that their children will not be returning. The lyrics change with each performance, but the message is constant. They smile as they approach, but they don't wave. The parents no longer know whether they are 'the boxer or the bag'. The cost of their so-called freedom suddenly has a value placed on it.
That was really awesome!! Lucky Martin and 2 girls with Green Disease on their foreheads, what an awesome memory for the rest of their lives!! Awesome performance by everyone, thank you for sharing this awesome video 😊💓🤘✌️

this casts me back to 1 Nov 1997 to Torwar.. old Torwar, no seats on triubunes, just benches.. years later i was told by Live Nation Head Promoter (who was running Oddysey agency that days) that they sold 11 000 tickets... crowd on the floor was floating, I could not breath for half of the show.. but it was worth every money !
