Eddie vedder singing this to thousands of people for one reason, thousands singing back to him for a thousands different reasons. That's the power of music.
My brother died in 2003 in an accident. He was 25 and I was 13, and for many reasons he was also my hero. One week before he passed away, he told me to start to hear some real music, and introduced to me Pearl Jam. Listening to them makes me feel really connected with him, so I can't be more thankful to this band. They marked my brother's life, and the mine too.
I'm actually your age, and my older brother just passed away in January. He always loved 90s rock, especially Pearl Jam. That's what brought me here too. This song hits me completely differently now. I can't help but be saddened in the deepest way listening to this song. It's beautiful though and like you said, it keeps me connected to my brother in some way.
Weiland, Chester, Petty, and so many greats along the way. As you said it’s Eddie for sure as my number one after Chris. We still have Cory Taylor and Aaron Lewis who in my opinion are as great as all of our faves!
@@Aggstastic24I agree with you. It would be amazing to have all of our faves back and here with Eddie. Could you imagine having a grunge fest today with all of _The Big 4_ ……😞
I held it together...until he started singing “Come back, come back...”. Tears welling up in his eyes, the pain clinching his throat to the point where he couldn’t sing more....goddamn....talk about raw emotion spilling out onto the stage!!
7:12 Come back ... and the feelings are completely through the roof. ffs we have to protect Eddie at all cost. He is quite literally the last of this era. RIP Chris...
MJK is there too. He's not the last but what an incredible soul. I do agree with you though I pray he stays with us much longer cause he's a last of a dying breed.
Thank you Eddie for your voice and your presence .. you don't know but you are one of my best frinds. you're always there for me in my best and my worst days. Thank you ❤
That come back broke me in pieces..saw immediatley thousands of pictures of chris and eddie from 90s enjoying together..😢 Eddie gave us real feelings about chris..really sad..pls eddie take care,RIP Chris💔
Eddie has never directly talked about Chris's death and how hard it affected him. He was ripped up in social media for not going to the funeral or the tribute concert with Tom Morello and Serj and others, which I think is BS. They were close Lily and Toni call him and the rest of PJ uncle, we all grieve differently, it doesnt change the love we have for that person that passed. The way he breaks down even just the croak in his voice, the sniffle right after you can see the hurt in him. When he choked up it got me, had a few tears come up, even my pooch came over to me to make sure i was ok lol
Eddie spoke several times about Kurt’s death affecting him, Eddie locked himself in a room and wrote a song about Layne the night he was found, Eddie probably hasn’t said much of his feelings of Chris bc it’s painful, he took Kurt’s death hard, he took Layne’s death even harder so who knows how bad he took Chris’ death maybe him not talking about it is his way of grieving
@Association of Free People even in his interview the other day on Howard stern he didnt really answer the question in detail so even 3 years later it is still on his mind and hurts.
Yes he did speak Cris cornell died right after eddie's little brother died he said he had to put himself in denial about Cris because he knew if he didn't he wouldn't be able to come back from it he couldn't handle it so he shut down so his daughters wouldn't see him get worse after just loosing his little brother he was already in too dark of a place watch his interview about it with howard stern he even said he's still in denial he's not yet let it hit him I think he struggles inside more than any of us could imagine that's why so much of his music is emotional
He didn’t go for a reason. Many of Chris friends and family hate Vicky for several reasons. She simply used Chris for his money. She even threatened to sue his brother Peter who was doing a suicide awareness project for Chris. She threatened that if he didn’t end the project immediately, she would sue b/c making it look as if Chris was naturally struggling and was suicidal would affect the outcome of her big lawsuit with the makers of Ativan. She’s disgusting. Many of Chris friends weren’t there because of her and have to grieve him in their own way.
I can easily imagine Chris standing right there beside Eddie on that stage, a hand on Eddie's shoulder, just smiling, tears rolling down his face as he looks down at his dear friend, and out over the audience, feeling the strength of the love among all of them. He's gone, but he'll never be far away...rest in peace, Chris--forever loved, and dearly missed.
The 90s were filled with pain, loss, deep disappointment for me. This band with many other Seattle bands SAVED me, so I could be here in 2020. Raise my three children and to take them away from Cali in 2000. They grew up to be three amazing, successful happy adults, that went on to give me six awesome grandchildren. I’m 54 now, we’ve lost so many of these great artists 😢 So thank you Eddie, Pearl Jam for everything you’ve given so many!
This video was so beautiful.. Just a man sitting on an otherwise empty stage with a guitar.. The number of people crying in the audience speaks volumes about this song, I loved it when they sang along to the background humming..
I think not only is this the best version of this song but its one of my favorite live performances ever. Eddy is into it the crowd is deep into it and there is so much emotion in the air. Plz Eddie give us another 3O years
Black is a song for everyone who could sit on the ground and the whole world is shaking in heart and mind and you don't know who you are or who you should be.. Just all is lost in black... Great performance and great video
Chris Cornell loved this song Black😔😢💔 Eddie is so emotional I feel for him, he knows fans are broken hearted over Chris Cornell, it's really hard to watch this, and some people thinking Eddie didn't care about his friend. RIP Chris Cornell 😇💝🌹😔💔 Thank you so very much for sharing this emotional video!!
For the love of everything rock and grunge... Someone wrap him in freaking bubble wrap and keep a watchful eye on Eddie!!!! I can't go through another Chris or Chester incident. My heart can't take much more!!
Chester Bennington is who she was referring to. Scott Weilland was a tough one, but Chris passing was easily the toughest. Music has a way of connecting the listeners to the musicians on a level I feel most musicians may not even understand themselves.
So sorry man! It hurts when you lose your own brother!! Don’t lose faith man and keep praying!! He’s up there listening to you! And he is no longer in pain!!
My best friend killed him self back on 8 6 19 I know your pain We were the best of friends for 43 Years did it all together first drink in the woods fast cars hot girlfriends alcohol was his biggest enemy he never married just drank I feel so bad for how things turned out for John I never thought-about How alone he must have felt an how dark it was for him to survive Every day I wish I could have saved him as much as I tried wasn’t good enough i miss him tremendously . The first time he didn’t call me on my birthday in 44 years he never forgot
I love the power of music. When you can release raw energy and emotion on stage and have tens of thousands of people absorb it and send the love right back to the stage. That magical.
Some music you listen to and some music you feel. This is one of them moments when you completely feel it. Great job by Ed. RIP Chris, say hello to Kurt and Layne for us.
I have been through black. One too many times. And Eddie, oh Eddie... I was at the Dublin's gig, just tears from my eyes. Cause you're such an amazing human being. Cause you can feel things deeply. Cause you're just like the rest of US. We're lucky to still have YOU...
I can't stop listening to this..as painful and sad as it is..its so beautiful..a man and his guitar just laying everything out there like that..Eddie always has...this song has made me melt about a zillion times since it was released..the power and theraputic nature of good music
Listening to Black is a portal to my painful past as a young adult. Every note🎶 shivers threw my blood to this day. At the same time I crave these emotions just to let me know I'm still alive. Thank you Eddie🎶🎼
And wherever you've gone And wherever we might go It don't seem fair You seem to like it here Your lights reflected now Reflected from a far We were but stones Your light made us stars
Am I the only one that loved @ 4:25 when he spat right before singing "all that I'll be" cause he knew he had to hit that note and wasn't gonna let no damn mucus and saliva get in his way to hit it and give another legendary performance. Bravo!!
Cristina Pessini i pray daily for his strength. we can not afford to lose another beautiful artist. i cant stop crying. the love he has for chris and chris for he. it just breaks my heart
I don't believe I've ever seen anything like it. His total trust in that audience expressing very personal emotions of pain, silent suffering and anger. Eddie Vedder is an amazing person. And I agree that I also noticed that he is living in the pain right now and wants so badly to think his way out of the loss of his "big brother". But I say to Mr. Vedder, 'we all do' and we all are living in denial for good reason that it just can't be. I say please come off your tour for a few weeks to charge back up because we all have lost so much, we can't fathom the losing you.
Hey, oh Sheets of empty canvas Untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me As her body once did All five horizons Revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed Has taken a turn Oh and all I taught her was everything Oh I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands Chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything Oh the pictures have All been washed in black Tattooed everything I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by Some kids at play I can feel their laughter So why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin Round my head I'm spinning Oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands Cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures had All been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad Turned my world to black Tattooed all I see All that I am All I'll be Yeah I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky But why Why Why can't it be Why can't it be mine
This shows why this is one of the greatest rock songs (if not the) of all time. The sheer connection between artist and audience, the profound heartbreak and sadness that anyone in that crowd (and we in front of our computer screens) can relate to and the attitude to perform it in the only right way....
lost my husband to ealry onset alzheimers..... eddies songs kept me alive....my husband was only 63.... eddie is a man that cares about his fans.....my oldest son is deaf....i watched eddie bring up an interpeter for the deaf.......i burst into tears...... love this man
They were so close, I just pray Eddie knows that because of that closeness, Chris will never truly be far. He'll always be beside him, this performance alone is proof of that.
One of the most moving performances I’ve ever seen.🥰Totally heart wrenching! Epic job with this one Eddie! You will always be first class & Chris Cornell is right over your shoulder smiling & rockin’🤘🏻right along with you. 😇R.I.P. man...2 unbelievably talented artists. Vedder singing & his long lost friend whom he’s singing the song to, Cornell.😭The world loves Vedder & Cornell. Please keep making songs that give the listening world goose bumps Eddie?🙏🏻 Never STOP!💓💗
That was truly special. I met Eddie just once. I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of hours in his company and he really is the sweetest dude. I hope to do it again one day.
With this song speaking exactly what I did and feel after losing the woman I was madly in love with, and now that Chris is gone..... I just can't listen to it without bursting into tears uncontrollably..
There's a girl somewhere in the world who broke Eddie's heart, and she probably lived her life with no idea of the lasting impact of what she did. On the other hand, this song stands as a witness to a love and loss story that we've all experienced at some point. Every time this song plays, a little bit of that person and feeling comes back; sometimes, it brings a smile, other times, it draws a tear.
I love him. I have seen him in concert & I've never felt so connected. To life. To the force that keeps us here. To others singing with me. It was beautiful. Changed my life & how I look at the world.
The raw emotions towards the end of the song is so powerful, so tangible, everytime I hear Eddie's voice full of pain brings a tear to my eye and I'm not ashamed of admitting it 😥
32, lost my dad when I was 14, my mom 3 months ago. I know this is a love song and all, but some parts of the lyrics remind me of the time both my parents were alive and I was a happier man...child actually then.. Same goes for fade to black by Tallica.. this man has such a great and powerful voice I feel it every single time I hear the song
Love the guy at the end of the video doing his best impression of the Pearl Jam Ten album cover - pointing upwards. Powerful video. Much love to Eddie. RIP Chris - my hero.
Not surprising, but regardless it’s amazing to see one man and his guitar capture the undivided attention of FIFTY THOUSAND captivated people, all at once.
Came to watch this after the thousand time watching the legendary unplugged performance of this song But OMG!! he still has it. What an incredible soul. Last of a dying breed unfortunately.
My friend Chris introduced me to Pearl Jam and we have a special bond with them. This song though makes me think of my fiance and the times I couldn't have her....I eventually got her but I shed many tears when this song plays, good and bad. I love you both Chris and Christine.....
Eddie would never be militaristic, but given my experiences I tend to see things uniquely. One man, one guitar, leading thousands in perfect unison. Perfection. Brought tears to my eyes for many reasons. Brothers lost. Amazing leadership. Human kind at its best. Amazing music.
Eddie vedder singing this to thousands of people for one reason, thousands singing back to him for a thousands different reasons. That's the power of music.
Beautiful comment
These songs are milestones for us all
Nice man
Truly a beautiful comment.
nicely put
Well said, Adam!!
He sang that to Chris Cornell... so sad Eddie ... you gave voice to our pain of losing Chris
The last standing man of my favorite music generation... Hope he keeps Alive, even if everything turns Black.
you forget maynard from tool...
Mid 80s-mid90s
well said
Yes man

My brother died in 2003 in an accident. He was 25 and I was 13, and for many reasons he was also my hero.

Listening to them makes me feel really connected with him, so I can't be more thankful to this band. They marked my brother's life, and the mine too.
😥
They are the sound track to my life.🉑
Much love brother
Dang I'm the same age as your brother. I know this taste of music. The best. I too grew up with this music. He was right. He gave you a great gift.
That just hit me so hard. I understand exactly what you are saying
I'm actually your age, and my older brother just passed away in January. He always loved 90s rock, especially Pearl Jam. That's what brought me here too. This song hits me completely differently now. I can't help but be saddened in the deepest way listening to this song. It's beautiful though and like you said, it keeps me connected to my brother in some way.
Who is still listening May 2020. I love this man. He is a great singer.
He's an amazing human being as well. Just a class act and a legend.
@@Musicologist365 Absolutely.
agreed best together with chris cornell.
Till the day I die, classic
I'm here with you sista! Peace and love.
Kurt, Layne, and Chris have all gone. This man is all that's left now, and he needs to be appreciated.
💯💯💯
Don’t forget S Weiland from STP and a little new generation but close to these guys, Chester B from Linkin. 🤦🏻🥹
Weiland, Chester, Petty, and so many greats along the way. As you said it’s Eddie for sure as my number one after Chris. We still have Cory Taylor and Aaron Lewis who in my opinion are as great as all of our faves!
@@Aggstastic24I agree with you. It would be amazing to have all of our faves back and here with Eddie. Could you imagine having a grunge fest today with all of _The Big 4_ ……😞
I was there, and I was in tears like everyone around me. Best performance ever.
Rosanna Spinazzola lucky ragazza 😉
I am so jealous, must have been powerful
Pezzo pazzesco..ma dalla foto avrei preferito guardare te, bella streghetta!
Forza Eddie Vedder
I'm jealous, your so lucky😃
I held it together...until he started singing “Come back, come back...”. Tears welling up in his eyes, the pain clinching his throat to the point where he couldn’t sing more....goddamn....talk about raw emotion spilling out onto the stage!!
same...
A tremendous musical catharthis..
Ok cornball.
@@jacksavage2205
Hey, if you didn't experience the same reaction as I, so be it.
No reason to be a jackass.
Our animal beast
Hadn't planned on crying today but here we are...when he starts with the "come back"...ugh rip Chris...makes me wish I could just give Eddie a hug
when he started singing "Come back..." I just burst into tears.
7:12 Come back ... and the feelings are completely through the roof. ffs we have to protect Eddie at all cost. He is quite literally the last of this era. RIP Chris...
MJK is there too. He's not the last but what an incredible soul. I do agree with you though I pray he stays with us much longer cause he's a last of a dying breed.
Kurt, Chris, Andy, And many others have been lost, but they will always be in our hearts.
😢I'm balling my effing eyes out man!!This man is sooo Important to sooo many❤❤❤
Thank you Eddie for your voice and your presence .. you don't know but you are one of my best frinds. you're always there for me in my best and my worst days. Thank you ❤

that's a beautiful thought dena
Yes, very beautiful, I actually pictured Chris next to Eddie. Start to finish emotionally charged and well put.
Amazingly well put...
ahhh this comment just made me cry...
henleys_ frey - Beautiful comment!
at first.. black was for Beth...then just for anything sad....and now forever it will be for Chris.
lol not for beth he was with beth long long after he wrote this
claudia peters Whos Beth?
his first wife
I thought it was about his girlfriend in high school or something
it was. eddie was with beth until 98 divorced in 2000. The song was about his first love, the girl that had an abortion. Porch is about her as well
I'm guessing that he could never have imagined how many people he helped with these words. 25 years later and no song touches my soul like this one.
The 90s were filled with pain, loss, deep disappointment for me. This band with many other Seattle bands SAVED me, so I could be here in 2020. Raise my three children and to take them away from Cali in 2000. They grew up to be three amazing, successful happy adults, that went on to give me six awesome grandchildren.
I’m 54 now, we’ve lost so many of these great artists 😢
So thank you Eddie, Pearl Jam for everything you’ve given so many!
To whoever filmed this. Bravo. You captured the emotions of Eddie but also the crowd. I love this video so much. Thank u for sharing
Nicole Smith , great great comment.
Good moment to share.🙂
Thank you! Happy New years!
Touche.
❤️❤️🤘🏻
June 2024. refreshing this video because it deserves it
Hurts every time to listen to this
this has got to be the most beautiful versions of BLACK i have ever experienced. how awesome
Hi Kevin i highly recommend you to watch this perspective from this same song. Play it loud end enjoy :-) ruclips.net/video/eeBJu2UnTmg/видео.html
Same
Gut wrenching
One of the best crowds of all time!
Feels like close friends sitting together
italian crowds are awesome in every concerts. also south americans.
Reminds me of Brazilian fans singing “Man in the Box” during AIC’s 1993 performance at Hollywood Rock festival.
I was at this Concert. still feel so blessed. so emotional!
a Phant I bet you could feel that heartbreakingly beautiful emotion
Lucky!
a Phant wow you lucky girl xx
I was there I didn't see ya.
Guess what? I was too. You weren't. Shame on you. Shame on you. Take your pants off and walk home.
If only we all could give him a hug...
If only we could all give each other a hug...
I'd let my wife fellate him
That very first "we belong together" moment !!! I'm burst into tears...
This video was so beautiful..
Just a man sitting on an otherwise empty stage with a guitar..
The number of people crying in the audience speaks volumes about this song, I loved it when they sang along to the background humming..
I think not only is this the best version of this song but its one of my favorite live performances ever. Eddy is into it the crowd is deep into it and there is so much emotion in the air. Plz Eddie give us another 3O years
I was there and the emotion in the air and in the crowd was crazy...the most beautiful concert I have been to
Black is a song for everyone who could sit on the ground and the whole world is shaking in heart and mind and you don't know who you are or who you should be.. Just all is lost in black... Great performance and great video
Stay off the H
@@latentsea But music makes addicted
Thank you. Beautiful and so true
And great words
That's exacatly how I feel right now
THAT VOICE...really gets to me.
Chris Cornell loved this song Black😔😢💔 Eddie is so emotional I feel for him, he knows fans are broken hearted over Chris Cornell, it's really hard to watch this, and some people thinking Eddie didn't care about his friend. RIP Chris Cornell 😇💝🌹😔💔 Thank you so very much for sharing this emotional video!!
I hope he never stops writing or singing.
For the love of everything rock and grunge... Someone wrap him in freaking bubble wrap and keep a watchful eye on Eddie!!!! I can't go through another Chris or Chester incident. My heart can't take much more!!
broken
Dont forget about Layne
Kurt
Andrew wood.
Chester Bennington is who she was referring to.
Scott Weilland was a tough one, but Chris passing was easily the toughest. Music has a way of connecting the listeners to the musicians on a level I feel most musicians may not even understand themselves.
Your pain is still felt in 2019 Eddie. Stay strong brother.
And still feeling your pain Mr Ed Vedder,2024❤keep on staying strong❤
"Come back, come back, come back" 💔 he misses his older brother 😢
We too....
And Chris Cornell
His "older brother" is Chris Cornell. That was what Eddie called him.
Kate Vielle Chris Cornell
RIP BRO RIP
the darkness that forced my brother to take his life has since settled upon the rest of the family.
this song is exactly how I feel.
I love you Danny.
Please know that I am heartbroken for you, and hope better days are soon to come.
My heart breaks for you
I'm so sorry for you brother. I hope your doing well. Love your live to the max in honor of you and your family. I love you
So sorry man! It hurts when you lose your own brother!! Don’t lose faith man and keep praying!! He’s up there listening to you! And he is no longer in pain!!
My best friend killed him self back on 8 6 19 I know your pain
We were the best of friends for 43
Years did it all together first drink in the woods fast cars hot girlfriends alcohol was his biggest enemy he never married just drank
I feel so bad for how things turned out for John I never thought-about
How alone he must have felt an how dark it was for him to survive
Every day I wish I could have saved him as much as I tried wasn’t good enough i miss him tremendously .
The first time he didn’t call me on my birthday in 44 years he never forgot
I love the power of music. When you can release raw energy and emotion on stage and have tens of thousands of people absorb it and send the love right back to the stage. That magical.
I'm gutted. Black will forever have a different meaning for me now. Ed. Truly, sending love and peace to you, man. Chris's death has been so hard.
This Man is SO IMPORTANT TO MUSIC.....He has saved my life many times and doesn't even know it...
Eddie does make you feel like you’re the only person who he is singing to. That is simply amazing!
This is one of the most emotional perfomances I have ever seen. Simply beautiful.
3:38 - the magic of good music.
Some music you listen to and some music you feel. This is one of them moments when you completely feel it. Great job by Ed. RIP Chris, say hello to Kurt and Layne for us.
and Scott!!
Mark Lanegan
I can't watch this without crying. Rip Chris Cornell and long live Eddie Vedder xx
"We are one and...we (I) are many."
The words of a man who knows his anthem sings out from his soul to a collective, resonating hence from.
Come Back Come Back Come Back.......Oh Eddie you have me in tears 😥💔 for the pain of the friend you lost.xxxx.
I have been through black. One too many times. And Eddie, oh Eddie... I was at the Dublin's gig, just tears from my eyes. Cause you're such an amazing human being. Cause you can feel things deeply.
Cause you're just like the rest of US.
We're lucky to still have YOU...
TheSupernova78 could not have said it better.
We are so lucky ..true to that I agree ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Muito bom!
I can't stop listening to this..as painful and sad as it is..its so beautiful..a man and his guitar just laying everything out there like that..Eddie always has...this song has made me melt about a zillion times since it was released..the power and theraputic nature of good music
Deb 1211 absolutely
Well said, spot on.Fantastic performance from Eddie & the crowd
Vedder really is an emotional aesthetic experience...
Black. One of the most beautiful songs in history.
So powerful and emotional. Love how the crowd carries him. He misses hos brother Chris.
italians are a great people...look at the emotion and passion in their faces! FORZA ITALIA!! GOd bless you from the USA!
Bellisima
Hey there was at least two Englishmen there too 🙂
so raw, only love can break your heart
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.... ☁️⛅🌤️☀️🌟
Listening to Black is a portal to my painful past as a young adult. Every note🎶 shivers threw my blood to this day. At the same time I crave these emotions just to let me know I'm still alive.
Thank you Eddie🎶🎼
And wherever you've gone
And wherever we might go
It don't seem fair
You seem to like it here
Your lights reflected now
Reflected from a far
We were but stones
Your light made us stars
Muito bom!
One of the greatest song’s ever written!
Am I the only one that loved @ 4:25 when he spat right before singing "all that I'll be" cause he knew he had to hit that note and wasn't gonna let no damn mucus and saliva get in his way to hit it and give another legendary performance. Bravo!!
The most amazing version I ever heard...I love how you can hear the emotion in his voice....I love him
I do too. For a long time. How can u not? Just look at him! Dayummmm!
Eddie, I'm damn near 60 and will ALWAYS relate to your message...i want to sing "Black" on stage with you...my dying wish luv thank YOU for being you
his most emotional, sad and intense Black performance I ever saw. I just hope he is doing fine...
Cristina Pessini i pray daily for his strength. we can not afford to lose another beautiful artist. i cant stop crying. the love he has for chris and chris for he. it just breaks my heart
Cristina Pessini he looks emotional and exhauseted.. it must be really hard for him to deal with his mates death..
I don't believe I've ever seen anything like it. His total trust in that audience expressing very personal emotions of pain, silent suffering and anger. Eddie Vedder is an amazing person. And I agree that I also noticed that he is living in the pain right now and wants so badly to think his way out of the loss of his "big brother". But I say to Mr. Vedder, 'we all do' and we all are living in denial for good reason that it just can't be. I say please come off your tour for a few weeks to charge back up because we all have lost so much, we can't fathom the losing you.
Todd Watlington what a great audience! Must be encouraging for him.....
Cristina Pessini its still fresh probably for him to realize hes the last horseman
Hey, oh
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Oh and all I taught her was everything
Oh I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I'm spinning
Oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All I'll be
Yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine
thanks
Ohhh we belong we belong together together
what do I sear?????
Infinito Eddie un GIGANTE!!!💪💪💪
These are not right lyrics. Better edit
this song makes me so emotional. it's just beautiful.
This shows why this is one of the greatest rock songs (if not the) of all time. The sheer connection between artist and audience, the profound heartbreak and sadness that anyone in that crowd (and we in front of our computer screens) can relate to and the attitude to perform it in the only right way....
Everytime I hear this song makes me cry because I lost a person who is probably orbiting in somebody else sky...
They always are xxx
❤️
Me too, me too bro.
Me too 😭
lost my husband to ealry onset alzheimers..... eddies songs kept me alive....my husband was only 63.... eddie is a man that cares about his fans.....my oldest son is deaf....i watched eddie bring up an interpeter for the deaf.......i burst into tears...... love this man
I can’t even tell you how much this song means to me...
Just so sad and uplifting at the same time. ........just gonna live my life in the black.
I couldn't sing along, I was in tears.
unforgettable night in Florence
Astrid Virili ive cried everyday straight since Chris' passing. eddies heart is tearing apart and you can feel it as he sings. so heart breaking
They were so close, I just pray Eddie knows that because of that closeness, Chris will never truly be far. He'll always be beside him, this performance alone is proof of that.
Me too. Second viewing and second time. And i’m a big tough decorated guy, apparently .... :-/ 😥
My tears starts to flow when he sing the last part of the song, I said to myself Im not going to cry, but Im just a human😢
Few singers could make me feel so complete inside with their music.. Eddie is one of the few remaining ones..
One of the most moving performances I’ve ever seen.🥰Totally heart wrenching! Epic job with this one Eddie! You will always be first class & Chris Cornell is right over your shoulder smiling & rockin’🤘🏻right along with you. 😇R.I.P. man...2 unbelievably talented artists. Vedder singing & his long lost friend whom he’s singing the song to, Cornell.😭The world loves Vedder & Cornell. Please keep making songs that give the listening world goose bumps Eddie?🙏🏻
Never STOP!💓💗
Congratulation also to the director, the live footage on the screens was perfect. Beautiful night, I think I'll never forget those moments.
That was truly special. I met Eddie just once.
I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of hours in his company and he really is the sweetest dude. I hope to do it again one day.
With this song speaking exactly what I did and feel after losing the woman I was madly in love with, and now that Chris is gone..... I just can't listen to it without bursting into tears uncontrollably..
There's a girl somewhere in the world who broke Eddie's heart, and she probably lived her life with no idea of the lasting impact of what she did. On the other hand, this song stands as a witness to a love and loss story that we've all experienced at some point. Every time this song plays, a little bit of that person and feeling comes back; sometimes, it brings a smile, other times, it draws a tear.
One of the best performances of Black hands down. Even the cameraperson captured the emotion between Eddie and the crowd.
I can give away my life just to see him perform live once in my lifetime
Omg! I am crying 😢 Still grieving over Chris and seeing this really pulls at the heartstrings 💔
One of the greatest voices ever singing one of the greatest songs ever!
The audience picking up the ending was amazing too!
OMG...*TEARS* I love you Eddie........my arms around you, we want him back, too. : ( *TEARS*
23:37 balling my eyes out here. Damn that's some powerful stuff.
What a heartfelt tribute to Chris! I can't turn of my tears!
Long live Eddie and his legacy..You are a true legend
His voice still sounds the same... classic! Love it!
I like this finger up to the air at the end.
Reast in peace every good souls.
I was fine until he started saying "come back" TEARS! oh the TEARS!
same i started crying like a freaking baby
This still makes me cry...for Eddie's pain, for Chris...
I know it too well. In floods of tears here too. Life sucks xxx
Same...
Crushing!
Jesus, i never thought anything could ever top black unplugged but this sure as hell did,!!!
I love him. I have seen him in concert & I've never felt so connected. To life. To the force that keeps us here. To others singing with me. It was beautiful. Changed my life & how I look at the world.
Eddie is one of the cleanest ,nicest, big harted musicians we have ever had.
who's here may 2021, long live Eddie vedder.
2024 here
When Eddie sings come back repeatedly at the end, the emotion was so raw
The raw emotions towards the end of the song is so powerful, so tangible, everytime I hear Eddie's voice full of pain brings a tear to my eye and I'm not ashamed of admitting it 😥
32, lost my dad when I was 14, my mom 3 months ago. I know this is a love song and all, but some parts of the lyrics remind me of the time both my parents were alive and I was a happier man...child actually then.. Same goes for fade to black by Tallica.. this man has such a great and powerful voice I feel it every single time I hear the song
Powerful. One of my all time favorite songs. The emotion is crippling.
omg id die and go to heaven to see eddie and his guitar. hes the most talented, caring, loving, beautiful human being on the planet.
Love the guy at the end of the video doing his best impression of the Pearl Jam Ten album cover - pointing upwards. Powerful video. Much love to Eddie. RIP Chris - my hero.
Not surprising, but regardless it’s amazing to see one man and his guitar capture the undivided attention of FIFTY THOUSAND captivated people, all at once.
Came to watch this after the thousand time watching the legendary unplugged performance of this song But OMG!! he still has it. What an incredible soul. Last of a dying breed unfortunately.
My friend Chris introduced me to Pearl Jam and we have a special bond with them. This song though makes me think of my fiance and the times I couldn't have her....I eventually got her but I shed many tears when this song plays, good and bad. I love you both Chris and Christine.....
I cry every time I hear this song, it's perfect!
Eddie, I cry with you. My heart is in pieces.
One of the BEST "sad" songs ever! Ranks right up there with Hank Williams-"I'm so lonesome I could cry". Now that's a helluva comparison!
Still listening st 69 years old
Every time Eddie sings, he Sends it to amazing heights. Love ya bro. What a talent. Never gets old.
Eddie would never be militaristic, but given my experiences I tend to see things uniquely. One man, one guitar, leading thousands in perfect unison. Perfection. Brought tears to my eyes for many reasons. Brothers lost. Amazing leadership. Human kind at its best. Amazing music.
