I came across this video while searching for a video of Jimi Hendrix playing “Little Wing”, but it seems that there’s nothing on Youtube, or at least nothing that I could find. I’m glad I found this gem of Pearl Jam playing “Yellow Ledbetter” and going straight into a cover of “Little Wing”. I’ve always thought the two songs sounded similar, and this makes me pretty sure that when Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, and Mike McCready wrote “Yellow Ledbetter”, they had the Hendrix song in mind. Pearl Jam is chill, and this performance is dope. Enjoy.
Unfortunately, Youtube no longer allows the embedded streaming of this video due to copyright issues, but if you click through you can watch it there. Just make sure you come on back for more!
