I just love this cover, Pearl Jam has performed this song only twice, in Pittsburg 2006 and Santa Barbara 2006 . . .

i think this has been posted before, but what the hell, really nice, listen at 3:52 the drums kick in, good band.

Before the song, Eddie nearly starts a riot in Pittsburg with his light-hearted comments, fun stuff, but he dedicates this song by saying, "and the last time we were in Pittsburg we played with a little group called the Rolling Stones so we would like to honor that experience . . ." referring to the 2005 show that they opened for the stones. "Little group called the Rolling Stones" all in fun.

Notice the sound, nearly perfect. What the PJ fans do is take a bootleg copy of the show, one camera, and use the official bootleg audio in place of the actual camera audio. Remember, pj is the band that has released or made available soundboards of nearly every show they have performed since 2000.

After the song Vedder toasts, "Here's to Keith, and . . . everybody else" Kinda funny, none of the gen-xers ever thank Mick, oh well . . .

I like it !

i like vedder alot when he sings relaxed.
his voice sounds fantastic and alot better then when he sings in that typical vedder-grunge style...

I don't like this 'little band' PJ at all,

but hey this is a really nice cover, sung in a nice friendly style, better then Jagger does

when they opened for the stones in oakland in '97 (and even though i'm not anti-pj, i didn't come into the show until after their set on 3 or the 4 occasions) - they flirted with a stones tune as a tease - i forget now - was beast of burden? also, if memory serves, eddie came on with the stones that show for a duet on woaf, didn't he? or has the last decade of debauchery completely fried what's left of my memory....

Yeah they did a tease of i think Beast of Burden, just kidding around, to get the stones a little pissed off, remember this is the same singer/band that when they opened up a few shows in europe for U2 in 1993, Eddie was wearing a homemade shirt that said "Paul is Dead", refering to Bono's real name . . . i do not think that Ed did a duet with Mick in 1997 . . . the debauchery has completely fried you, no just kidding.

For those set lists nuts out there, when Pearl Jam opened four shows in Oakland in 1997 for the Stones, each set was completely different . . . and they had a new album, Yield just release so they performed alot of "new stuff".

It's fried me. I went to two of those shows and remember very little.Except that it poured rain during PJ one night.

Here is Pearl Jam's set w/Ed and the Stones for Waiting on a friend.

[www.sendspace.com]

11/19/97 - Oakland Stadium: Oakland, CA
supporting: The Rolling Stones
set: Sometimes, Hail Hail, Animal, Do The Evolution, Dissident, Even Flow, Given To Fly, Better Man, Off He Goes, Corduroy, Beast of Burden (tease), Go, Black, Alive, Yellow Ledbetter

notes: The band is apparently really on again tonight. Ed plays maracas once again, this time during 'Animal.' 'Even Flow' is a long, extended jam with the band members all facing Jack, their backs to the audience. "It was so @#$%&' pretty last night" Eddie says just before 'Given To Fly.' After Mike plays a little 'Start Me Up' teaser riff, a nearly complete cover of 'Beast of Burden' is performed, though Eddie kind of looks down and mumbles when they reach the "all I want/is for you to make love to me" lines. (Awww, how cute!) During 'Alive' Eddie loses his place and substitutes "I forgot the words to the song, she said." He then dumps wine on people in the audience and runs the ENTIRE length of the Stones' stage, from left to right. They close with an awesome version of 'Yellow Ledbetter,' ended with Mike just soloing (and including a bit of 'Sympathy for the Devil'), and the rest of the band applauding him at the finish. Stone was brave enough to wear his glasses tonight, even.
Later: Ed comes out and duets with the Stones on 'Waiting on a Friend.'Ed kisses Mick, Ronnie and Keith on the cheek at the end.

very nice version!

Cheers,
Wuudy

This is about the best cover version of a Stones song that I have ever heard. Nice job!! Not easy to do.

I know, i'm not sure why the description says that . . . they did do an "almost complete" version in 1993 with some different lyrics . . .
