Pearl jam’s respect to israel kamakawiwo’ole RIP
well done!
impressive …
mahalo.
mahalos pearl jam! big props for da respect & love for da hawaiian people! mahalos again from hana maui!~!
IZ probably would have been up there chimming in! What a nice guy he was…that voice…if you wonder what we are talking about viewer…check out his voice before you leave youtube tonight!~ you wont be sorry!
ho foreal
omg…Love this! They captured Iz’s sound, while still being Pearl Jam. Thx sooo much for posting this!!!!!!!
I was there and Iz would have been proud.
Mahalos!!
I’m from germany and I didn’t knew this song before and what it means to the people there, but this is fuckin’ amazing… makes me cry everytime i hear it!
Bra!!… MARY!!! no haole can sing hawai’i 78 like bruddah iz
BABES he sounds ANCIENT MARY ANCIENT I SAY
makes me laugh so hard i go for sheshe in ma pants!!
everytime i watch this..chills.
Go Pearl Jam! This really made me glad to see a big mainstream band play this song.
Wow, got chills running up my spine, chicken skin all over, and the eyes started to swell up with tears. That was simply just AMAZING, I’m speechless… Hawaii raised and missing home. PJ much PROPS, much RESPECT!
What a very nice tribute !
Pearl Jam my hawaiian heart is with u all the way
Pearl Jam played 11 free shows here because they love Hawaii. And Hawaii loves them. PERIOD.
Okay I’ve watched this so many times and the song and the performance made me teary.
wow i heard about this song/performance at aloha stadium and kinda thought it was wierd PJ would play this but they did it their own way and with respect…pretty mean!
beat eddie was small kine worried what ppl would think of him singing this song…i bet kelly slater told him to “run em hard” lol!
Nothing compared to the real thing by Iz, but still amazing.
When the crowd started going crazy I got crazy chills, I love this band.
Please.
Listen to the lyrics. He only repeats the chorus, and and a couple of other lines.
Out of respect, he doesn’t sing the lines that reference “our people” or “our land”
The “stupid haole” who plays keyboard for Pearl Jam isn’t. He’s a local named named Boom Gaspar, who Eddie met while surfing. Eddie loves Hawaii.
This is Respect.
madeinhawaii, sumbodyz tryin 2 show u respekt by honorin ur kulture n all u got 2 say iz ur nazi hawaiian shit. fukk u n all like u!
I hope PJ really knows how much we appreciated that performance. It’s very rare that a band will come to Hawai’i and cover a Hawaiian song from one of our greatest. This cover was definitely a surprise and totally unexpected. You can hear the crowd going crazy when they realized what he was singing. PJ is great
They knew enough to leave out that lyrics that would sound ridiculous if they sang it (“If just for a day our king and queen…”)
Just take it for what it was meant to be: an outsider paying tribute to Hawaii.
