Literally my favorite song that Prince ever wrote and each time I hear it, I cry because it speaks of merely wanting to love someone so deeply, but they are fighting against it. To hear Eddie sing this brought buckets of tears because Eddie is my Rock God and he saved a seventeen girl's life once when she was cutting herself in her closet barricaded. She was losing consciousness when "black" came on and she opened her eyes and began to bang on the wall screaming on the inside for help. I'll be 49 this year. Thank you Eddie. Just, thank you.
Black is such a powerful song. You are only a year or two older than my friend would have been if she had survived like you did. I miss her so so much, her death broke my heart and some 20 years later I still struggle dealing with it. I'm so glad you survived to tell your story! Be safe :) x
With tears in my eyes, thank you for sharing your story. I've been there sweetheart and we are the same age too. I hope life treats you kind, my friend. You touched my soul today 🙏♥️
@@eddieveddeer Thank you so much Eddie, but your last name is spelled wrong. It's spelled Vedder! Before you claim to be Eddie, make sure you learn how to spell his last name first 😊 Take care my friend 🙏♥️
I see Chad Smith (RHCP drummer), Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction bassist), Josh Klinghoffer (guitarist RHCP & Pearl Jam and singing this song), and producer/guitarist Andrew Watt as well . Very nice line up
I was lucky enough to see Prince live on His when doves cry tour. I still have my concert shirt lol. So much nostalgia with that song and time period. Prince would be humbled by this rendention. Thanks for a walk down memory lane. The 80s still rock!
Andrew Watt, also the producer of the Band’s record and the same guy who produced Post Malone, Miley, Dua Lipa,Ozzy, Iggy and Morrissey,Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam.
I love how Eddie being the biggest star out there still lets the other guys in the band rise and show off their talent it's amazing that is humble humble humble
Sorry, but LOL. Do you know who the drummer is because he is equally famous. The guys on the bass and guitars are pretty famous too. Eddie is surrounded by peers, that is why he asked these guys to tour with him. This is jamming.
Is anyone else amazed by the nonchalance with which Eddie Vedder caught the two tambourines mid-song? Imagine the pressure on the stage hand to make two perfect tosses.
Hello 👋 Tita. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
HOLY FUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! We’ve all heard covers of Purple Rain since Prince died that were really good! BUT NONE CAME THIS CLOSE TO THIS GREAT!!!!!!!!! Damn I wish I were there!!!!
watch adam levine and you will change your mind . he can shred on guitar and sing his but off . i was not a fan of his until then . he has like 70 million views . please watch . btw , i love eddie vedder !
This song, much like "Hey Jude", turns into a religious experience and the whole place cannot HELP but engaging when it is played. A fantastic rendition. Thanks for the video. Well done.
I mean the words “I never wanted to be your weekend lover. I only wanted to be some kind of friend” show that Prince didnt care about sex with the girl he just wanted to be a part of her life. Then he says “I could never steal you from another” showing he doesn’t want to ruin what she has going on with someone else. Allegedly the song is about Prince talking to a woman who was already married. But that’s just a rumor who knows.
Hello 👋 Terasa. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Eddie Vedder is not only a brilliant performer, but what an instincts for assembling a great group of musicians! That takes humility and a genuine love for music, many "celebrities " don't have. Not sure who is doing the guitar solo, but it is touching my soul!
Andrew Watt, also the producer of the Band’s record and the same guy who produced Post Malone, Miley, Dua Lipa,Ozzy, Iggy and Morrissey,rolling stones, Pearl Jam.
The Prince and Revolution version can never be replaced, but this cover is so good it deserves a place of its own. This was musical genius level also: the way it was put together. I'm not talking about just guitar solos, the vocals, drums, bass, all right there. Great job Eddie and Earthlings.

This perfomance brings together like 10 kinds of fucking awesome in one. Saw PJ the other night and Josh blew me away, so talented. And Eddie sounds as good as ever.
Eddie you are the best ever, if only prince could hear this, i would think he would be very impressed. Ive loved ed since day one, he has just gotten better with time.
Amazing how many diverse artists love Prince So different from others and so great a talent the world has lost One of the greatest guitarist of all time next to Jimi Your music will live 4eva
Eddie Vedder Rocks! He is such an awesomely cool guy! All you guys were amazing..and Josh!!….wow. This is just, idk, I wish I had seen this live…I am blown away!!!
Brilliant, thanks for sharing. Got to give a shout out to glen ! For anyone who does'nt know , he's the irish man next to josh ! Check out his old band ' the frames ! And he was in the films once and the commitments ! Thats my good deed done for the day . Cheers
Thank you so much for the comments ! I invite you to subscribe and watch the latest Pearl Jam videos :D
Eddie... what else can I say.. since Black.. you've had me 🙏 it's been a few years... the effect is still there
@@dieluef5941 😊😊

I had privilege of seeing Prince sing it live at the Super Bowl in the rain.
Speaks a lot today ❤
Eddie is one of those artists who you appreciate even more with the passage of time.
I don't know, we pretty much worshiped the heck outta him way back in the early, mid, and late 90s. lol
Honestly Eddie is the guy who would cover a song, and sing it however he wants the way he wants and still would sound grand.
This Album & Move reminds me of my Brother.
RIP Jimbo 🌹🕊️❤
We had so much fun together.
I love you miss you . 💕😊 Prince 💜
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you had so much fun together and I'm sure you have wonderful memories that will last you a lifetime. ❤️
I love this!!! No one can beat Prince on this song but this comes close. Best cover I have heard.
the emotion...
That dude did the solo justice!!!
I see Chad Smith (RHCP drummer), Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction bassist), Josh Klinghoffer (guitarist RHCP & Pearl Jam and singing this song), and producer/guitarist Andrew Watt as well . Very nice line up
Don't forget Glen Hansard on the acoustic and backing vocals, dude is a beast!
Nor Josh or Andrew should stand on that stage. Big egos with small hearts.
…and sub par talent. Yuck.
@@mudcast You're full of tihs.... Ed wouldn't share a stage with Dbags.
I was lucky enough to see Prince live on His when doves cry tour. I still have my concert shirt lol. So much nostalgia with that song and time period. Prince would be humbled by this rendention. Thanks for a walk down memory lane. The 80s still rock!
Wow. Hearing this version just highlights what a masterpiece this song is and what a genius Prince is. Thank you.
Totally thinking the same thing. And did “did Prince write this for Pearl Jam?”
Oui et pearl james de la bombe
Eddie Vedder can sing anything 💯🙌
Man Josh is shredding it
Josh killed it........vedder side....etc ,awesome talent too all ty
Oh, my heart. Bliss. 🥲😘💖
54 years old and crying like a baby . I can see PRINCE smiling
Happy Birthday in Heaven Prince #WeLoveYou
Eddie and Josh nailed the vocals.....it was a joy to listen to this cover!
Dude nailed the solo. Very impressed.
Who is that on the solo?
Andrew Watt, also the producer of the Band’s record and the same guy who produced Post Malone, Miley, Dua Lipa,Ozzy, Iggy and Morrissey,Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam.
Never heard of “The Earthlings” before and they are Just F’n AMAZING!!!
🎸 🎶🤘😎
I love this man's voice!! He just gets better with age. I miss the 90s!!
Take it easy. Ed's voice 90-93 is absolute gold but since........Well..........We all still love it but. ... 🤷
I love how Eddie being the biggest star out there still lets the other guys in the band rise and show off their talent it's amazing that is humble humble humble

Una grande performance per questa bellissima canzone! 😊😍😘🎶🎸🎸🎶💘❤️💔💋💯🌅
Thanks you
I love Josh Klinghoffer vocal
Oh my Josh!
Eddie could sing a commercial jingle and it would sound great ❤
Love the guitar solo tone
Adam Levine does this guitar solo was better.
This folks is a tribute to a master and they mastered the tribute perfectly.
500 years from now they will still play this song🔥🔥🔥🔥
Happy Birthday in Heaven Prince! #WeLoveYou 💜☔💜
Man, I have no words to express how this song makes me feel.
Sad and happy at once.😢🥰
Super Eddie fan, and this is probably one of the greatest songs ever. Watching Prince sing this in the movie will make anyone cry.
Eddie Vedder singing purple rain its surreal! Amazing...and to Prince..we miss you..may God rest your soul..
well Prince was a big Pearl Jam fan.
Too bad he didn’t like any one covering his songs. Just another cover attempt
@@jerkydog A * great * cover fixed it for you
Bro, check out the Postmodern Jukebox version - they got a large Black woman to turn it into the blues.
On a cold, dark, rainy night in New York City, they closed out the show and it was a beautiful moment. One i'll never forget.
EDDIE VEDDER MAKES ANYTHING SOUND SO GOOD 👍 SO LUV HIS MUSIC 🎶 🎵 ❤️
The solo was amazing 🤩 I think prince would approve for sure 😊
Absolutely what a gr8 voice ❤
I was wondering how Vedder was going to do the unique Price sound, glad to hear that he gave over the spotlight to that new kid. I Love Vedder.
Josh is killing it!!!!
Ending of this song is just ethernal loop of emotions.
a Prince le gusta esto 💖👍
Once again Eddie's not making it about himself. Such a class act.
Is anyone else amazed by the nonchalance with which Eddie Vedder caught the two tambourines mid-song? Imagine the pressure on the stage hand to make two perfect tosses.
I noticed that too. Can you imagine the stage hand being just a tad strong and nailing Eddie between the eyes? Lol He used to have a job.
I had to watch this again I didn’t notice it. Thank you! That was so cool!
he's been playin throw and catch with his crew for 30 yrs now
You obviously never played competitive baseball, football or frisby, lol.
Eddie catching the tambourines was the easiest thing anyone on that stage did during this song....
Eddie's personality and respect for other musicians are like his voice...soulful
te amo eddie
holy shit, this is SO good.
El propio rokero escuela para los nuevos . Exelente mis respetos
Eddy vedder
jeeze! seems like the world is so peaceful and the people only knows love! i can just chill and listen for hours.
Hello 👋 Tita. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
HOLY FUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! We’ve all heard covers of Purple Rain since Prince died that were really good! BUT NONE CAME THIS CLOSE TO THIS GREAT!!!!!!!!!
Damn I wish I were there!!!!
Jessie J is the top tho
And this when I thought I heard everything..my all time best love song by Eddie...dear lord, this is one of the things which make live worth living 🙏💚
❤
Beautfiully FANTASTic. Eddie has only gotten better if that's possible.
what an uplifting and fun version of this masterpiece!! Thank you Eddie and the Earthlings, you made my day! ❤
I think I wanna marry that guitar player. I just fell in love.
He walks out like a boss & friggin kills it!
You go boy!!!! Do the damn thang!
glad to hear the guitar solo finally start off like original
Prince was a true genius,it’s very hard to cover a genius but this definitely does this classic justice ❤️👌👏👏👏
watch adam levine and you will change your mind . he can shred on guitar and sing his but off . i was not a fan of his until then . he has like 70 million views . please watch . btw , i love eddie vedder !
Eddie is an absolute master at the cover.
My lord. Amazing
This song, much like "Hey Jude", turns into a religious experience and the whole place cannot HELP but engaging when it is played. A fantastic rendition. Thanks for the video. Well done.
Hey Jude sucks.
This is amazing! The guy with the orange guitar is killing it. Stellar guitar solo.
💜
The best version of this song I've ever heard ( and I'm 73 😊 )!
The lyrics of this song are SO underrated!
absolutely! You can't cover , Prince! He will always, be king.
I mean the words “I never wanted to be your weekend lover. I only wanted to be some kind of friend” show that Prince didnt care about sex with the girl he just wanted to be a part of her life. Then he says “I could never steal you from another” showing he doesn’t want to ruin what she has going on with someone else. Allegedly the song is about Prince talking to a woman who was already married. But that’s just a rumor who knows.
When I hear this song Memories Flood thru my brain. I can not imagine NOT having Memories without music. AMAZING !!
Hello 👋 Terasa. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
One of the best covers ever
Heard many covers of Purple Rain, but this one made me emotional.
Extraordinaria versión
Great cover!!!! And the guitar Man is a Monster!!!! Really awesome!!!
Damn he does this song absolute justice, Vedder is truly fine wine.
Eddie Vedder is not only a brilliant performer, but what an instincts for assembling a great group of musicians! That takes humility and a genuine love for music, many "celebrities " don't have. Not sure who is doing the guitar solo, but it is touching my soul!
Andrew Watt is playing the solo. He produced Ed's album with the band but has worked with a lot of the biggest pop stars too.
Dude shreds
watt is a genius. Great producer at many styles and at his Young age

Great version of one of the greatest songs.
Eddie is the best front man, always in a great moon always sings great and just a nice human being. Cheers Eddie, keep on rocking in the free world!
One of my favourite renditions, the emotion is great!
Eddie is still so kick ass!! Great job all of them!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love this collaboration of musicians ❤
As a Minnesotan and Prince fan still sad over such a huge loss, I loved this so much. Also a huge Eddie and Pearl Jam fan…this was awesome! #RIPPrince
Solid performance by the band and Eddie, but imagine Prince does it all being one person which is amazing 🎉
I am so happy that Josh is still in the business. He is very talented and deserves to play with the bests because he is the best!
Josh is absolutely amazing!!!!!
I thought thag was Josh, I didn't know that he was touring with Ed. Sounds great!
@@FacheChanteDeux Oh yes - absolutely!
Looks like he was on that skooma
He’s decent , not the best though
Beautiful
I feel so greateful for the life I have........ I got to hear Eddie Vedder sing for life...
When he came out with the solo I cried💜✌️
WooHoo!!! ❤️❤️❤️ ✨🌎💕 I can see Prince smiling at this one 🎸✨☀️
