That was not a guy going through the motions, but a performer with passion. Vedder is truly a legend.

so well said. He is one of a kind and we all get to share it ...

The way he leand back towards david while being hugged from behind, gives that young eddie vibe. So humble and cool

I fucking love how he looks back at the other players kind of implying “couldn’t do this without you guys…” I’ve met him twice and he really is an exceptional human.

Eddie will go down in history as not only one of the most beautiful voices, but a true poet. His words are so moving

Hugh school?

What an absolute living legend this man Eddie Vedder…

Only Eddie can make this song sound like a lullaby

The jump at the end just makes me love and respect him even more.

Best late night of anything that I have ever seen.

Love how he is so professional and keeps playing after stings are broke and just tosses the pick.

Love the fact that the audience is on their feet during the entire song. Never seen that before on Letterman.

I'm not a big Pearl Jam fan. However, I saw this on Letterman when it first aired. Since then I have watched this clip hundreds of times. God damn...this is what rock is all about. It's totally blazing, balls to the walls, take no prisoners, set your amps to 11. If ever I'm feeling bad I put this on my audio system and crank it all the way up and let it rip!! It makes me feel ALIVE. Vedder is the man...dude you know the answer to it all. Thank you.

It took me a bit to get into them, but once you find a tune of their's that hits the spot, theres no reason why you shouldn't dig deeper.

Back when late night shows were worth watching

I remember when this first aired, great performance

I come back to this live performance all the time.

That had a lot of smackings of 1996 eddie. Brought me back. Miss those days.

Omg!! I Can't get enough of this performance. It was done for a Friend by a true friend. It doesn't hurt that Eddie Vedder is the most beautiful man on the planet as well❤❤

EDDIE IS THE BETTER MAN!!!!!

Love the Vedder Letterman bromance!!!

I love Eddie so much that I can even describe.My hero in music

I was putting my 5 year old daughter to bed and we were working on her reading when her bedroom door creeped open and my daughter quickly turned and pretended to be asleep when her 2 year old brother walked in crawled into her bed with the biggest smile and tried to wake her up. I immediately thought of this song and now it’s my favorite song ever

Ed broke a string!

Wow

Broken string , rock n roll

A W E S O M E

It seems like he wasn't anticipating the piano intro to work so well without the guitar. I'm a numnuts so I know nothing, but seemed like he made a split decision to let it just roll

Broken string. No sweat for the king.

David Letterman said that I'm a better man

Love that Eddie's not using in-ears

it tears me down how he got old, the talent remains yet spirit is gone. I grow up with your songs Eddie, thanks for everything

As you age you too will find that while your talent AND spirit remains, it's the energy that lessens. Just as the case with Eddie, watch at the 3 minute mark and tell me his spirit has diminished!

Don't get that comment, have you seen him in concert with his boys, not sure why they couldn't be there, but let me assure you, his spirit is very alive, it has to be, he is now carrying the entire legendary Seattle grunge movement on his shoulders, not like that is important to him, it's just good music

Love Eddie Vedder. Letterman... no.

Sid McG never got enough credit.

The tempo was spot on… never really enjoy rush tempo from matt cameron

i came in a hurry to watch this song because i just heard the Post Malone cover. My god! It was Awful

How poignant those words have become…

His voice already left him.
