Eddie is a well-documented Who fan:Quote

I think they come more from a Who background but they've played Sympathy, Angie, Shattered, Tuesday, Shelter, Friend, and Burden...I know I'm missing 3 or 4 others they've tried to. Didn't they do Knocking sometime?

However, I didn't realize that PJ had covered so many Stones songs as well.

Indeed, Ed is more a Who fan and they have played many Who covers . . . they haven't done much Stones covers. The lead guitarist, Mike McCready is a big Stones fan.
The above post is a bit misleading. They have played a snippet of Sympathy, snippets of Angie, Ed did a cover of Shattered with some female singer/comedian, Ruby Tuesday was a tag on the song Daughter, Gimme Shelter was also a tag on the song Daughter and Beast of Burden was an attempted cover but turned into an improv that meandered into another improv. Beast of Burden has also been played as a tag on a few different songs. They have never attempted Can't you Hear me Knocking.
The only full Stones songs Pearl Jam have covered are Waiting on a Friend and Street Fighting man. The latter was attempted twice in 1994 and after the 2nd verse both times, it fell apart and a long jam ensued. Recently, they put in some Jumping Jack Flash riffs into the intro of a song called Love Boat Captain.
For me, my favorite PJ rendition of Waiting on a friend is below, the first time they played it in 2006, in honor of playing with the stones in Pittsburgh 2005.

It's not hate...
It's realistic.
Pearl Jam has some great songs.... I only recall "I'm Still Alive" at the moment and Eddy Vedder has (or had) a great voice (I remember him singing Wild Horses with the The Rolling Stones live. Real good.)
BUT...... Pearl Jam ain't no ROLLING STONES. Not in a 1000 Years.
Waiting On A Friend by Pearl Jam. Nice cover version of a great song by THE ROLLING STONES.
No hate intended. Just realistic.

Okay, but what about the past 25 years?

I don't mind Pearl Jam, they had one or two (maybe three) decent tunes thanks to MTV in the beginning, but like U2 they have somewhat of a cult following and some of the fans get defensive about 'their' band.
Evidently David Letterman is a big fan. At the moment, I can only name Even Flow and I'm Still Alive...and Jeremy...all from their first album I think.

Dang it, you've foiled my attempt at deception...not a big fan, just caught them live in San Diego 3 or 4 times in the early days. So did they ever play Knocking? I thought so...

"Black" is an awesome song. Also from the first record.
