Will Pearl Jam cover Baba O'Reilly?

[dominationSTP]

Or perhaps Eddie, B.B King, Clapton, and Jim James will perform this at the Super Jam...

[steyr47]

That would be wicked.

[Chaveznwo]

Simply for the sing along portion, I would say this is a must. Fantastic song.

[trsl]

Maybe.

I'd much rather have Mike at the Super Jam than Eddie.

Same here, Michael Jackson singing Baba O'Reilly would make my head explode.

That made me really want to see The Who. Thanks for posting.

michael jackson singing anything would make anyone's head explode.

Honestly, The Who's version is so good, every live cover I've seen a video of or heard a clip of just seems weak in comparison.

So no, I really hope they stay the hell away from the Who. In fact, that's usually a good rule of thumb in general.

Unless your MMJ doing A Quick One...

I'd like to hear PJ play this at Roo. I think their version of Baba kicks ass, and they obviously have permission from the Who to play and release it on their live releases.

I'd also love to see Ed take part in this year's Superjam.

2006 I saw Marah cover this on Thursday night. It was awesome.
I am sure Pearl Jam playing it on the big stage would be incredibly awesome.

[ronburgandy?]

i would say its very very likely, if not a lock.

[Dan'ROO]

I could definitely hear this in the air of 'Roo.

Marah's performance was the first thing that came to mind -- so fuc*ing fun.

[halesdd]

I've seen Pearl Jam cover Baba a few times and it is awesome. It really wouldn't surprise me if they played it.

[easymorningrebel]

I want to see this

[Chaveznwo]

Umphrey's does a really good version of this as well.

[ratsoup]

there's no doubt in my mind they'll play it. they tend to play it a lot anyway, and 50,000 people singing the teenage wasteland part will be ridiculous.

Karma for being like 1 of 200 people there. Marah tore the house down that night. And was it me or did no one know what song that was.
Pearl Jam doing Baba would be awesome but honestly I would prefer them doing Sonic Reducer by the Dead Boys.

[halesdd]

^^ I have seen Baba and Sonic Reducer and both are amazing.

Though, If I had to choose, Sonic Reducer over Baba. I saw PJ perform it at Raliegh during the Riot Act tour and it was awesome. Eddie got so into it he got down on his knees basically splits and was just howling out the lyrics with such rage and passion. Both songs would satisfy me though.

I thought most of the crowd was singing along. If I remember right it was a mid song segue.

I must have been on the wrong side then. The people around me were not even knowing what song this was... It was a segway. They keet doing it all tour.
