Edge Vedder is the most spectacular interpreter of pure rock'n roll and grunge. Beautiful voice. Stage expression and attitude.
I'm not usually a massive fan of covers, and U2 is my favourite band....but Eddie absolutely ripped this apart. Phenomenal!

I saw this U2 Concert & a huge fan of U2 from the beginning but Eddie knocked it out of the ball park. But then I'm a huge fan of Vedder's too!
Quite possibly THE first and best mic drop during the Kennedy Center honors! Everyone dancing in their seats!
Goddamn. That’s what 58 looks like? I’m 14 years younger and tweak my back taking out the trash. One of the best Ed solo performances. Wow.

That's fucking emotion. I feel like not many singers now a day have that.

That man cannot contain his sheer and utter joy of performing. His exuberance for music just cannot be contained. He feeds off of the crown and interacts with them. Every single performance is pure talent and emotion. I have been a fan since they broke out. Their performance on MTV was astonishing. And, while not a big U2 fan, Eddie did them rights. His performance was astronomical. Bravo, Eddie, bravo.

Vedder is the ultimate cover artist. He brings a unique passion to every song. He made this song his own - in front of U2!!!
Can't get Eddie Vedder than this!! 🤘🏼💕💕💕
Dear Eddie. I am watching this video every day so you'll get up to 1 million views. Love you 😍
What a show or respect! Eddie is still dynamite up on stage!
I honestly got here with low expectations, hesitating on what I would find but man, Eddie's voice and energy are ever so worth it. 🤘
Great energy, (that jump!) Also, love seeing Bono singing along😍

Me too ever since I accidentally came across it . I've seen three U2 concerts over the years so a huge fan...but both covers by Eddie blow me wee lil mind.
Sean Penn is absolutely brilliant and I love U2 and Eddie Vedder crushing it on Elevation by chanelling his inner Bono from the tomb raider soundtrack
There is no one like Eddie Vedder
What a cover! Great Mr Vedder!Even Bono was " wow"
Eddie is a national treasure. Hi from San Diego!
He ‘elevated’ the friggin track. Only Eddie Vedder.
I never took much notice of this U2 song. I might be a bit biased being a PJ/EV fan but *THAT WAS ...'KING AWESOME!!*
When I just couldn't love this guy any more❤
I just love how he sings this song is amazing when he sings 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️

Elevation Woooo! U2 is legendary, Eddie Vedder Rocks! Very nice tribute!
I cry every time I hear this song. Dedicated to beautiful wife of 33 years who so unselfishly looked after my four children and me during my selfish years. Everything she gave and nothing she would take……for so many years. So deeply grateful for her and Pearl Jam.
Eddie best ever 🎶🔥🤘🏼
Better with Eddy! ... U2 We Love you!🤘🏾
Must feel great watching another artist perform your song better than you ever could, hard to top anything touched by EV
Eddie,....best of the best of the best of the best
Holy Moly!!
Eddie vedder renders evirything to grunge. Great.
All the energy he demonstrated on stage in his 20s is still there. But at least he isn't climbing the rafters anymore! Bono and The Edge appreciated it, still a Rock God(s)... all of them!
speechless, Vedder make gold the song in his own colour
Man, you absolutely fucking nailed that 🔥

holy shit eddie this is amazing ! This really is powerful big Eddie. thank you
Amazing performance. Eddie is an absolute legend.
Oh my goodness gracious Eddie! Bravo!
Eddie, you're like a fine wine. You keep getting better with age. Wear the doc's just one more time.
I saw them right at the start, and then later on. The first one we were sitting slightly to the back of the stage looking down, in a college gym. Really close. It was great. I saw them a few years letter in a much larger venue, an epic show. But the first one, I enjoyed more- Bono really engaged with the audience, in a smallish venue. The energy was amazing.
Every song that he sings, it gets better. Long live the King!
