Incredible how a man stands in front of a packed Madison Square Garden...arms crossed in front of a mic...sings absolutely gibberish and has the whole crowd by his side...and you sit here watch this...getting goosebumps allover.
I can understand at least 25% of the words, but I get 100% of the message. I think we all can.
I 1000 percent would not be mad however dont the peoplr deserve the actual words? @marbles8901
@@tiggybiggy9929the people who say they don’t understand Pearl Jam, are the same people who listen to mumble rap and the stupid shit they are putting out today. If you can’t understand it listen to a clearer version. This is one of the clearest times I’ve heard yellow Ledbetter be played I understand every word, if you played the studio version, ironically it’s a bit harder to understand every single word but you make out w the just of the story. This is one of the greatest performances ever imo
Have you decided if you're going to wave from the front porch or are you the boxer or the bag?
❤❤❤we all can relate❤❤❤❤❤
That guitar.
He is pure excellence.
There is a lot of Jimmy Hendrix in the guitar part.
Ook dezelfde guuitar als Jimmy. had the magie sound of the fender stratocasterq
There is also a lot of Stevie Ray in his guitar
i keep replaying again and again
I don't think Eddie Vedder knows the lyrics to this song any better than I do, but this has always been my favorite Pearl Jam song, and I've been listening to them for 30 years
I love how Eddie changes the lyrics in EVERY PERFORMANCE.
That's because even he has no idea what he said in the original.
The lyrics change nightly depending when and where they are playing. The band has no idea what Eddy is going to sing lyrically, but he makes it work every time. Incredible song.
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
Is that true?
Because if it is then I will die laughing in HEAVEN
@@jessa312 it is… now you know. But don’t diet yet… the party just got started
He looks like a 55 yr old dad who just drank a bottle of merlot and stumbled in a karaoke bar.
And still its magical as ever.
Dreams...
Pearl Dad
Fuck if I had a bottle of merlot i'd be passed out :-)
😆😆😆 I see it
And he is just 38 years old there.
Mike McCready is criminally underated as a musician...his playing expresses emotions for me that I can never verbalize.
In what way is he underrated? Why does everyone say that the LITERAL MOST FAMOUS AND ACKNOWLEDGED MUSICIANS are underrated now? No, they're not. Everyone knows him, and knows how good he is
Underrated is the new literally. People use it without really thinking about what they are saying. The other day I heard someone say Top Gun Maverick was underrated.
It is ok, go into the bathroom and unleash your load already
I guess "underrated" has lost any semblance of meaning at this point hey.
As long as you hit, "boxer or a bag"and then the chorus, you can make up the rest.
Really? Not to this one!! It had a meaning
LOL! Exactly!
its i dont know if hes coming home in a box or a bag, its about the soldiers
@@annerenwick4322 I know
@@annerenwick4322 Sometimes he sings " I don't know if I'm the boxer or the bag ". Both powerful lyrics and your version I think is probably the original.
Mike McCready is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time.
THANK YOU. I've been saying this for 20 years
Is he really underrated?! People of my generation who grew up with PJ think he is the greatest.
Mike is insanely good... I have seen PJ 4 times and they never disappoint.
I was just saying that to my friend the other day.
Mike McCready had a blues band, side project back in the mid-90’s.. we went to see that band at a small town bar here in jersey… probably around 1994ish. Bar held maybe 300 ppl. Such a fun night.
Kurt Cobain... Hold my beer
Eddie singing this song is like a student giving a presentation that he hasn't prepared for and just says random things about the subject
Haha, I love it though. It makes the performance unique
Nixon Harp I've never found the right words to describe it and you did it right and clear. Nice job
Nixon Harp Nixon Harp I believe the lyrics when the song originally released were part gibberish, part sensible. Over the years they evolved/devolved and he sings random things. This version in particular sounds like a story about a young man going off to war and his brother & father saying they're not sure if they'll see him again... "I worry, he's coming home in a box or a bag." (coffin or body bag?)
Despite, Its incredible that he still gets his point across !!!
Billie Jean Chris cornell
Mike, one of the most underrated guitarists ever! That outro was one of the most emotional guitar solos recorded live. Just simple licks but the notes said a lot.
good
His talent was obvious way back at Pink Pop 92. If you haven't seen this I recommend checking it out!
If you think this one is one of the best, check this version of the 2006 concert in Lisbon... it's pure magic!
well said 5:59
th-cam.com/video/4Bc5rQKc4dM/w-d-xo.html ; )
I love that they played a 2 and a half hour show and they are all perfectly happy and comfortable with Mike just taking thd last 3 minutes to himself improvising a beautiful outro and getting applauded by the other musicians. Incredible
just like the rest of us, we have all heard this song a hundred thousand times, and each time the lyrics are all different,..... and eddies mood is diiferenent each time he sings it... love this
Only Eddie can do that... Mmmmmm Eddie.
At last somone who understands artistic live performance..is so much better..this means inspiration..not just repeating same old ..it is soo soo impresive
First timer here
I'm working on my english. So sorry about the possible mistakes, but when I think about eddie singing "yellow ledbetter" i just think about to listen, never to sing, (lol) because never is the same lyrics. Always something new and artistic. Love it!
@@Simoneadv13
None of us native English speakers who have been listening to this song since it came out can sing the lyrics either.
That IS the beauty! The music and tone of his voice say all that we need to know
I love how he keeps the grunge aesthetic alive by wearing his everyday clothes on stage
He keeps it “alive” 😊
The crowd knew their assignment here. They don't even know what they're singing and it sounds amazing. He even stops singing just to hear and feel the crowd's energy. This is how good it gets folks.
One of the rare occasions a ‘just go with it’ version live absolutely blows the released version away. Including Eddies mumbling but changed lyrics which add so much more to the meaning of the song. The solo ending by Mike McCready sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it. Just one of the great live performances.
I sang this at a karaoke.... And I mumbled everything. Came out fantastic. Lol
I bet you it didnt, but all of your friends were too embarrassed to really even acknowledge it afterwards and further feed into your narcissistic bullshit.. your comment made me violently cringe..
Uhmmm, his joke was actually good. It took a laugh outta me.
🤪🤣👍🏻😉
Just like Eddie would!
💓
As a Desert Storm veteran, this is my favorite PJ song. Eddie expresses it so well...
Thank you for your service. It's greatly appreciated.
It puts a lot into perspective, the ever lasting pain on the families who's loved ones paid the ultimate price.
Thank you for your service.
Love from Dublin
Thank you for your service. Salute to all who served.
I love how the single shots of stone Matt and Jeff they are all smirking - knowing full well that Ed is just dribbling whatever shit falls out of the top of his head and the crowd is going nuts and will sing along in perfect tune- only cause no one knows the words. Fucking amazing guitar. Anyone else notice that the whole band appears to have gone a few rounds with with some sheep shearer’s, and lost badly.
i remember seeing something about them cutting their hair in solidarity with the troops in iraq at the time. i'll be damned if i can find that interview again though.
I always wondered if the hair was intentional
No apostrophe to pluralize a word, dope. Just add an "s" in most cases. Apostrophes are use to denote possession.
@@QS-si3cq Please use upper case to start calling names.
100%
Seeing everyone: the band and the audience just sitting back and watching Mike close the song out... Absolutely beautiful!!
Considering that they change the guitar and lyrics to this song every time they play it live just shows how brilliant pearl jam really are, also mike you are one hell of a guitarist :)
Yes, and wait until you hear about the Grateful Dead… it ALL changed every night
That outro is a fucking masterpiece
Bitix dirty mouth!! try to complete a sentence without cursing dummy
+Bitix HELLZ YES IT WAS GOOD SIR!
He's fucking right it's pretty fucking awesome
Bitix MAGIC MIKE MCCREADY
I swear every time i hear a version of this song the lyrics are never the same forever changing.
That's because even he has no idea what he said in the original.
Probably the greatest rock “song” of all time! Imagine if we knew the words...
😂
😂
Always amazing. This song is so good because its most often seen as a song expressing grief and pain. The fact that the lyrics change and are somewhat unpredictable, and always difficult to understand is pretty descriptive of grief. Its like listening to someone in a whirlwind of pain. Its honestly a masterpiece.
Did "One" bring you here in 2023 too? :)
@@judyle4893 what's One?
@@AB-sw4kb His cover of the U2 song at the Kennedy Center recently. It's pretty amazing.
@@judyle4893Eddie did a beautiful job at the U2 Kennedy Center Honors, oohh my goodness he did incredible!! 😊💓🤘✌️
Yep. Like true depression.
When they struck up the first chord and the crowd cheered...man, it doesn't get much better than that. Pearl Jam for life!
For a second, I read "Social Distancing" on McCready's shirt, 2020 already messing with my head!
You must be gripped by fear, just chill dude and listen, a little piece of heaven.
Oh man, social D is good too!! Good idea.
Hahahaha.....
Social Distortion is an awesome band. Hey, he has very good musical taste. 😊
And here it is 4 weeks later, May 2020 and the entire country shut down giving us stimulus checks of $1200 ...but "I'm still alive" so 🤷
That McCready solo at the end, makes the guitar talk and sends shivers every time I hear it.
Just brilliant !
4:14 - 5:48 Nicely done Mr. McCready. Wow.
Brilliant
Love this song. Hendrix's fingerprints are all over the guitar on this one.
The beginning sounds like Little Wing.
yeah Little Wing vibe
This is what happen when we let Eddie Vedder sings Little Wing
Eddie looked like he wast just fresh into college and ready to Invent facebook.
Fuc zuc
@@jeffreyvandermeiren9806 ok?
Lol
He shaved his head into a mohawk after the 2000 tour, he had it grown back fully by 2006
A lil’ respect for fellow bassman Jeff Ament. He kicks ass every time, all the time.
@ Joey Bossolo~ Jeff Ament always kicks ass, awesome bassist, one of the best!! 😊💓🤘✌️
Real Pearl Jam fans know that Jeff is the glue. Without him there is no PJ.
i can't believe i was there. it was years ago when i was young, smart and vibrant. i really miss PJ and my youth...
I was there the next night, my first ever Pearl Jam show and my first time in NYC. Amazing trip and amazing concert.
I wasn't there. Wish I was. I don't miss my youth.... well maybe a little. Not the stupid s!*t I did back then lol. I don't miss PJ. I get them every day through videos like this. Great band....great people that listen to them.
Delight in our youth...
This is my favorite yellow Ledbetter preformance
Indeed, music has a powerful way of evoking emotions and connecting with listeners on a deep level. "Yellow Ledbetter" by Pearl Jam is often praised for its emotional impact. The combination of Eddie Vedder's distinctive vocals, the atmospheric guitar work by Mike McCready, and the introspective lyrics can create a poignant and heartfelt experience for many listeners. Music has a unique ability to resonate with individuals in different ways, allowing them to connect with the song's mood, lyrics, or personal associations. It's wonderful that "Yellow Ledbetter" holds such meaning for you and evokes strong emotions when you hear it.
I wrote somewhere else that this is like Opera. You don't have to understand what is said, only the FEELING. There or tons of feeling in this song.
THANK YOU!
Perfectly said
when he said "mmm ona ceda ina da porch i drift awaaaay mmm n da kno n da know i wannna staaaay ya"
i felt that
Lol
The guitar solo at the end is absolutely phenomenal.
The man's voice is a treasure in this universe. I really hope he is still singing somewhere for someone & they are recording it for histories sake coz we need legends like him & them. I can't believe I haven't heard this song before now, wtf
Mike McCready(guitarist) always comes with something amazing for this song
The feeling mike puts into the outro makes it feel like every show could be the last one. It's like euphoric
Holy cow...just listened to this version and the first stanza broke me down.
I can just imagine someone's brother feeling like this knowing their bro ain't coming home from the war...
Damn...
20 years ago today. Can you imagine being there? McCready's solo finale is so sharp
By far my favorite version of my favorite song by my favorite band 🤘😎 Pearl Jam Forever!!!
I love how at the end, the band members just sit around and watch mike as fans to.
Best song ever, especially in this live version with McCready's performance being out of this world. I absolutely love the outro, need to learn this on my guitar.
U learn that sht fool?
One of my favorite live versions of any song
That guitar solo is from the heavens
Goosebumps and teardrops!! Beautifully done
It is always nice when you can see the joy of playing on stage.All this energy is shared with the audience and everybody can feel it.I was on their concert in Zagreb and it was one of the best concerts in my life.Thank you P J for making my life prettier.
Why does Eddie look like a Frat boy here...he is too hot to be up there looking so clean cut lol
What's better than a song you can sing when your wasted and everybody seems to know the words.. Cool song!
This one takes me back to when we'd drive around the town for fun. When this song was brand new on the radio, no one had internet. It was an awesome time. GenX, baby! We didn't care that we couldn't understand the words!
This song at the end of 50/50 is so beautiful.
Those were the days man!! No smartphones up in the air, the crowd all singing out loud with no worries for recording just enjoying the moment. Best time to be alive!! I almost feel sorry for the new generations who will never experiment that kind of magic.
That's what I love about these old concert videos. It was a different time. Everyone was in the moment.
i still dont record using phones. i just watch and enjoy im that old school and im only 35 yrs old lol
With legit bands playing instruments
My favorite song!!!! And I love hearing it live.
I've been a Pearl Jam fan from the start. Was in college when they came out with their first album. Certainly not as much in the know as I thought I was considering a lot of the comments on here. I spent so much time listening to this song on repeat because I really wanted to be able to sing along with the 'correct' lyrics. Foolish me!!! I now know there are NO correct lyrics and that it is just complete go with the flow/feeling type of song. I will say I am proud of the fact that I know exactly ONE VERSION of this song by heart. LMFAO!
Simply put...this is a masterpiece by an incredible band.
Mike’s solo at the end sums it up.....that track just breaks me every time x
It just about brings a tear to my eye
Probably one of the best performances I have ever seen.
one of the most iconic bands of our generation.
Still the best performance ever performed ✌️❤️
I believe: the magic of this song; you have the idea of the lyrics but always you gonna hear at new version of this one, with the same feelings.
Probably one of the best songs ever. PJ rule
This concert is 20years old. God dam I’m getting old.
Lyrics:
On a ceiling, on a wayside manner say
Don't hear to ever fill the answer again
On a wayside, on a front side letter said
That I'll never see my brother alive again
And I try to ameliorate, ohh
And I hit on but the memory keeps dragging on me down
And I wonder 'bout the reasons he was sent
He's comin' he's comin' home in a box or a bag
Chorus:
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
Only in see them my heart to wish it on a way
And I try then I though then I could have left a message oh I almost did
Talk to my dad he was worse than me
A progress Marie's son's comin' over in a box or a bag
Chorus:
Yea can you see them
Out on the porch?
Yea, but they don't wave
I see them 'round the front way, yeah
And I know, and I know
I don't wanna stay at all
I don't wanna stay
I'd like to stay
I wanna stay guns off oh chzaa
ooh oh oh oh oooooh oh oooh oh oh oh yea
R u from Brazil? 🇧🇷
Yeap!
Good
Nice
0:00-6:34 best part!
hands down/ up!!
Wow funny
@@apt6382 *I have achieved comedy*
Ha. Just when you think you know the lyrics to this song BAM you find a different video with completely different lyrics.....Brillant!
One of the most amazing voices in rock.
yes you are from hawaii
This gives away the whole meaning. I can clearly hear "I'll never see my brother again" and "leave in a box or a bag"
See him out on the porch....
But he won't waaaaaave.....
Beautiful powerful rendition one of my favorite versions
I know all the words. But then my husband says I am a mumbler too. Maybe we just have our own language lol. I love this performance of Yellow Ledbetter. Mike's solo is epic. Eddie looks pretty good to me with his short hair. And he still has the same gorgeous smile and mannerisms. Just an over all good performance by Eddie and Pearl Jam 👏👏💞💞
What are the words?? They seem to change a little bit from this recording and the album version??
Thanks alot for the compliment ❤️
Where are you chatting from?
I love this song because in every live, it has a different lyrics.
It took me 30 years to find this video but today, I did and I’m grateful.
Thanks for the love❤️
Grateful is good✌️⚜️
Fuckin Legendary!!! This is my favourite Pearl Jam song.
RJKT after Black & Jeremy ✌

RJKT Agree. Mine too
all time man all The time
And the worst it's ever been done ..cut way more off than just hair
2019,and still one of my favorite songs. I'm laughing at the people saying Eddie isnt singing the real lyrics. Its different every time, its the signature of this song.
love them so much : the algorithm that brought me here ; all the comments that explain everything you have to know about this fantastic song and its background ; the fact that from now on, I can watch this video thousands of times and still be fascinated by this masterpiece...
literal chills down my spine!!!
The best band ever

Omg this is the best. Mike's stance while lost in jamming is all I need
❤️
funny how every body wants to sing but nobody knows what to say....like eddie is comming with something as he is singing
I love hearing this song live from different performances to see what words he comes up with. It's a fun game. :)
Makes it like the old days when people would let the band sing unless they gave you the mic or told you to sing along. Can enjoy it in all its glory.
this is the 49 or 78 version ldk
@@kimidawn9 this live version has got me trough losing 30 lbs during my workouts, very inspirational especially the end with the guitar solo.
It helps that the chorus stays the same no matter what.
Beautiful version of Yellow Ledbetter!! Pearl Jam ROCKS!!! 😊💓🤘✌️
Nunca vou cansar de admirar o Eddie. Que HOMEM. Tão simples e tão profundo. Enche meu coração de paz. ❤️
The greatest ROCK Song of all time. The cryptic nature only adds to the allure and the genius of Mr Vedder and Pearl Jam.
awesome....the best alt. rock band which still exists.
The last grunge king alive. Don't go anywhere Eddie. We need you....
and no phone in sight.. what a time to be alive
The song everyone knows how to sing, but nobody knows the words.
This tune is dynamite
This is The best live version..the truly god damn best!!
Amazing....❤❤❤❤❤
What a band!!! Love you guys!!! Thank you for this great song!!!!
Thanks a lot
my favorite version of this song!
That ending guitar solo made it for me!
Anurag Sharma this whole concert was all around amazing.
On TH-cam, for me, yea!!😅
Hope someday I'll get the opportunity to witnesses live 😊
Anurag Sharma oh no you never got to see them live. Pearl Jam broke up, there will be no more shows, you can catch Eddie solo, but I don't think he plays any songs from pearl Jam. :/
What a FANTASTIC performance of this anthem
