Cover versions



The Seattle band Pearl Jam covered Timeless Melody in their Binaural Tour on 6/4/2000 when they played at The Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester, England. During the concert lead singer Eddie Vedder incorrectly stated that the band was going to play a song written by a band from "your town". The concert is available as an Official Bootleg. Pearl Jam went on to play the song several more times on the tour, often as a duet with Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes. Pearl Jam have also performed the song with Death Cab for Cutie in 2004.Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211210/10YXqjb7JFM Ghostarchive] and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20140107061335/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10YXqjb7JFM&gl=US&hl=en Wayback Machine]:
