Feel like I say this every year, but this song features some of my favorite Matt Cameron drumming ever

It might be their best cover.

Other than the live version of The Real Me from the VH1 Rock Honors, I concur.

Last Kiss, this, and the Real Me are all up there.

For studio covers, I think this one edges out Last Kiss at the finish line.

Live covers, I agree that OG Crazy Mary, VH1 Who show & Atlanta 94 Sonic Reducer are the gold standard.

Also Soldier Field Everyday People & Let My Love Open the Door are all-timers.

I like this better than everything listed so far. I am consistently surprised that those note-for-note, karaoke-ish Who covers from that VH1 thing are rated as highly as they are -- to me something like this is just in a totally different class.

I dunno what you guys are hearing. Its a weird song. Eddie's vocals are warbling all over the place and he's flat a lot. The background music doesn't sound like Pearl Jam and so it seems a sort of generic song to do a cover of. The background vocals are bad. It never really connects as a whole entity. I dunno it sounds like a half-assed cover and I don't even know the original song. Its just they don't really seem to put a pearl jam spin on it and Eddie's voice doesn't suit whatever genre they're going for.

They should have started the song earlier.

3 stars. Good, but they don't stray much from the original, and I'd rather listen to that

Wait wasn’t Last Kiss a live soundcheck recording?
