Better Man: Written By Eddie Vedder prior to the formation of Pearl Jam. Due to internal disagreement, Better Man was not released until the band’s third album and then became one of Pearl Jam’s most popular songs.

Save It for Later: Written by Dave Wakeling prior to the formation of The English Beat. Due to internal disagreement, Save It for Later was not released until the band’s third album and then became one of The English Beat’s most popular songs.

there was no 'internal disagreement'. Ed just didnt play it for the lads until the recording sessions for vitalogy...theres a stone quote where he says something like 'hes been keeping *that* from us what else does he have? its a hit!'

there definitely wasnt any disagreement over it though

[Matters]

The singer/songwriter allegedly wanted to give the song away. I’m gonna assume it took some internal disagreement to prevent that from happening.

[Matters]

Better Man was first recorded in Marin during the Vs. sessions. It was played live at Slim’s prior to the Vs. album release.

[dimejinky99]

and what?

in no universe does Betterman fit on Vs. the very idea of it is broken and kind of appalling.

[Matters]

I was defending your apparent attack on the validity of my statement. Didn’t consider that to be appalling.

[Matters]

Is this the next best Ed cover after Hard Sun?

[stip]

hard sun is tough to beat. ed solo covers? i think so

[dimejinky99]

you guys are the worst

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Buby]

I'd put all of these way above this mediocre recording:

Hard Sun
Society
Throw Your Arms Around Me
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (w/Jack Irons)
Hymn (with Hovercraft, and it's a poem, so not sure if it counts? But the track rules.)
Masters of War (though admittedly his PJ versions are better)
I Believe In Miracles

This.
I'd add I Am Sam's: "You've got to hide your love away"
And Water on the Road's: "Trouble", "Forever Young" & "Golden State".

Damn, I definitely should've included that one.

Also, the Crucible version of Throw Your Arms Around Me (the one featured on The Bear) is not available to purchase for me.
Anyone have the same problem? A hookup is appreciated.

He has some really good I am a Patriot covers too.

[stip]

his version of patriot from the MSG nader rally in 2000 is my all time favorite Eddie cover for sure. But it's live.

[Farmer John]

If we're including live, non-studio covers, then "Ship Song" and "You Can Close Your Eyes" are two of my favs.

Yeah, You Can Close Your Eyes is an all-time favorite in our house.

[stip]

where did they do that?

Ed's played it more than once I think, but most notably with Natalie Maines at a West Memphis Three thing

[stip]

That’s lovely
