"Leatherman" is a song by Pearl Jam. It first appeared as a B-side on the "Given to Fly" single. It was originally recorded during the sessions for Pearl Jam's fifth album, Yield. The band decided not to include the song on the B-sides and rarities compilation, Lost Dogs.
The song is also a part of the so-called "Man" trio ("Better Man", "Nothingman", "Leatherman") played occasionally at concerts. There is no connection between the three songs beyond the word "man" being in each of their titles.
A performance of "Leatherman" can be found on the DVD Touring Band 2000.
The song was inspired by the Leatherman, a vagabond of unconfirmed identity who traveled a circuit between the Connecticut and Hudson Rivers from 1858-1889.[1]
