Absolutely true story: When this aired for the first time, I stood still as a statue in front of the TV holding my boom box, and recorded the whole concert onto a cassette tape. That's how we did it back then.
I did that too with a walkman. Took it to school (elementary) once and bullies ran away with it after punching the back of my neck a dozen times. I try my best not to let anyone take something away from me ever again.
@@deanjepson611 I was finally gonna see Pearl Jam this year in Nashville...🥺 Guess I'll see them next year?? I have never been able to get tix. I have seen all my favs, but never Pearl Jam. Crossing fingers for 2021!!🤞🤞🤞
This song came out not long after my wife died and when I heard it the first time it broke me down till I was sobbing on the floor...then I played it again...and again...and again...to this day I can't listen to it without crying...it helped me get through the hardest years of my life...
I’m sorry, man. My downstairs neighbour knew I was having a rough time whenever I played this, too. He was quite sympathetic, although I went LOUD every time. Some people just get it
@@gotsnogroovecheryl I'm with ya. Gotta watch what I eat for several different reasons, can't barely get out of bed in the morning without doing 30 minutes of stretches, and spent most of my life with insomnia not doc says I've got narcolepsy and that's why I pass out standing up. Lol it's all a big joke I think. Strong and powerful in our youth but have no idea what to do with the energy. Then we learn what to do and before we can it goes away. "Youth is waisted on the young."
@@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers Hey! We should hang out, apparently! I totally understand. I'm 36, and have crippling anxiety and depression, Fibromyalgia, and over the last year have developed this awesomeness called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome 🤢🤮. I feel worse now than I ever have in my life, and would be lying if I said I wasn't more than a bit worried about the future. If I could go back a few years, I'd be a lot nicer to myself. I don't know that doin that would change anything, but at least I wouldn't wonder, I guess. I'm sorry we're in very similar boats, dude. This shit sucks. I would say "get better soon," but bein chronically ill/in constant pain, that saying honestly (and sadly) becomes a bit offensive after hearin it a million times. So, feel as well as you possibly can, and take care of yourself! *Gentle Hugs* 💜🌠💜
@@gotsnogroovecheryl I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's annoying but I do hope that somehow all the unpleasant things in your life somehow find solutions, remedies and relief. That's what I pointlessly wish for myself everyday as well. Basically I do sincerely wish you the best.
@@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers Thanks for the well wishes! I'm not at all sayin they're not appreciated, it's just that when you've been chronically ill for sooooo long, phrases like "get well soon/recover quickly/etc." kinda hit a nerve, because ya know it ain't gonna happen, I guess. Nothing wrong with wishin the best, or at least better for someone! Thanks again! I hope your situation can improve as well, or at least not get any worse. I know we're gettin old, but I still feel like we're gonna be around a lil longer than we maybe expected, so I guess we gotta try and adapt to this shit somehow. I've found that cynicism, disassociation and self-deprecating humor are coping mechanisms for me. I dunno that it's exactly healthy, though. 🙃 I sincerely wish you the best as well! 💖🌠💖
@@Jadamhodges Yeah, she did a number on him...to have such a strong relationship (At least from Eddie's POV) and then to have it disappear like the sun at the end of the day or a perfect pane of glass shattering, and as you try to pick up the broken pieces...you only seem to cut yourself more...losing love is one of the most traumatic experiences emotionally that someone can go through...those scars take much longer to heal...
When he says "Tattoo all I see" he isn't saying that he has tattoos that remind him of her. He is saying that his whole world has been tattooed with her; that his whole vision of the world has been covered in the black ink of his despair and longing for her.
If we all could avoid being heartbroken at some point in our lives, songs and performances like this wouldn't exist. Beauty can be born from pain, sometimes 😉
It does sound like legs. I've always thought that also and I think the line would be better if it did say that! I always thought the line said Her legs spread out before me like they once did.
"now I gotta become ambidextrous" "he's a octave-puss" "that's how I got two kids. I was raw" 😂 My man. I've watched about every YT reaction to this song that I can find (absolutely one of my favorite songs, as sad as it is) and this has got to be the most entertaining one I've seen.
🥰Love love loved witnessing your totally immersed, expressive and hilarious😂 reactions to Eddie Vedder belting out "Black." I *feel* him each time I watch this, and I *felt* Your reaction. And you do a good impression of him too! Best reaction, hands down!😄
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star. In somebody else's sky, but WHY!? WHY!? WHY can't it be mine?" Breaks me every time. Gorgeous and emotional lyric.
I am a nurse I had one of the most emotional draining days at work and you made my day brighter. I love watching you enjoy one of my favorite bands. Much love
Also, if you're diggin' on Pearl Jam, their performance of "Porch" from PinkPop 1992 (easily found on UA-cam) is AMAZING. You'll see what Eddie used to pull before we all got old.
After all of Mr. Video's reactions that I've watched... I'm convinced he actually can sing but he never actually shows us his talent. The little bits we do get are pretty spot on to tone and even control. Maybe he should do some covers just to see? I would watch them and probably love them lol.
WHY ARE YOU NOT A SINGER?? You have an incredible voice!! I have been watching for quite a while now and everything I hear you Sing is awesome!! You should do a cover of one of your favorite songs on you Tube!! Love your reviews too. Thank you ❤❤
"Let that girl go. Let her go, she got you trippin"😂. I know, I agree! I love Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder has great range. I just love his voice! Saw them in concert, they were incredible live!
Some gems in this one: “He’s raw. I’m raw too. That’s how I have two kids!” “Just keep Jam-ing. That’s all you got to do...” “Whoever this girl is, she needs to watch out. This dude does not want her with anyone else” 😂😂
you just showing off now... it's brilliant!! you got some pipes on you as well.. love the channel.. keep making us laugh and keep singing.. i hear you..
I think you are one of the "reactors" that are not just an intellectual critic, but a true artist your self. You clearly have a very good intuition and talent.
This rendition still just blows me away. Eddie Vedders vocals are flawless, and overshadowing a stunning performance by the rest of the band. The whole band was on point in this era. Mind blowing!🤯🤯🤯
@@dianegoldeneye7207 me 2 , he gives me a newly found respect for all of these great songs & the good part of it is he hasn't even come close to touching the surface of all of these great songs
Eddie Vedder’s voice is iconic! He makes you FEEL, whatever it is he’s expressing. What a gift! Hard to believe he’ll be 56 in December and is still going strong. So much talent in that man! He plays multiple instruments and writes songs too.
That's why it's called MTV Unplugged...you have to have raw talent to do MTV Unplugged... they strip all the convenience out of the studio & make you do it raw...
Literally every song on this unplugged performance is AMAZING. Eddie Vedder has some PIPES. Try out "state of love and trust" during this concert. Will get you hyped!!!
Growing up in Seattle during this era was something special. This is easily my favorite grunge rock song of ALL-TIME!!! This song is so: beautiful but sad, dark but light. And Eddie V. absolutely SLAUGHTERS with these lyrics!!! #GRUNGEGOAT
I have seen this unplugged video of Eddie Vedder w Pearl Jam about 200x and every time I cannot get over the talent. That is real pain he's using for this song. No faking that. Then the voice, the OCTOPUSS as u say.. (LMAO) that voice is everything! Stellar performance!! U make me laugh. Keep it comin. :)
Now this is true organic talent. Live music at its finest!! This gives me chills every single time.💚💚💚💚💚💚 PEARL JAMS TEN album is a perfect album....for real.
“Now I have to become ambidextrous thanks to you”. Classic, that is so fucking great. Please keep cracking me up. “Genetics and kinetics”. OMG. I’m losing it.
I went to high school with Eddie Vedder (then Eddie Mueller). He was voted Most Talented. My sister was in theater with him and used to take mushrooms with him and play music. He was really quiet and sweet and everyone liked him because he was a surfer in the theater department. In a SoCal school NO ONE did both.
Hey, hey, yeah, uh Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn, ooh And all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black Tattooed everything I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head I'm spinning, oh I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have all been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be yeah Oh oh ooh I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why Why, why can't it be, oh can't it be mine? Ooh, ah yeah, ah ooh Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, ooh ooh ooh
Great song and one of the most memorable live performances I've seen. I've watched it countless times and I'm still impressed by Eddie Vedder's vocal range and control! He puts tons of emotion into his performances! Good stuff!!
Go listen to the song Jeremy from this same live set by pearl jam. Its personally my favorite song they did on that set. It's about a kid his name was Jeremy, he went into school one day and shot himself in front of the whole class and killed himself. He was the quiet kid, and one of the lyrics he says "Jeremy spoke in class today" I dont want to spoil anything else. But I would love to watch you react to it. Love your channel so far btw bro, keep it rockin.
Welcome to a world where you have experienced and understand the power of Eddie Vedder's voice. Supposedly he had a cold when they did this, which makes it even more impressive.
Dude, I loved that you loved this!! I have been extremely hurt recently and what you had to say about this song really hit home. I thought I was with the one, then she left, and know I’ve found someone else that makes me genuinely happy and excited about life. There is no “one”!!!
Great react!!🔥🔥🔥 Lyrics: “Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn, ooh And all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black Tattooed everything I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head I'm spinning, oh I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have all…”
Yes so glad you did this there are a lot of Pearl Jam fans out there including myself so please check out some more of their music you should definitely check out Jeremy the official video first and then the live MTV version it's based on a true story and Eddie as always puts such emotion in everything he sings also great reaction
So nice to see someone recognize "raw talent", Mr Vedder and his Pearl Jam mates were inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame some years ago---I think he sings far better than your average rock singer,,,,he means and feel every note from his toes to the tips of his gorgeous curly locks. 😁
I liked pearl jam, but in a casual way. I didn't fully appreciate Eddie Vedder's voice until I heard him cover The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me." He nailed it and even enunciated the words. (As compared to the mumbling way he performs his own songs)
"Let that girl go, she got you trippin" 🤣🤣🤣 but man on the real tho, vedders voice is gold. This live version definitly gives ya goosebumps. Dude ur alwaya crackn me up late at night when my man trying to sleep. Il literally let our loud laugh and had to quit down so i dont wake up..he totally moved around like he heard me..he still snoring tho. Its all good 😜😝
@@MrVideo123 hahahahaha yah happens alot..then the next day i have to play him what i was laughing at..he usually gets a good laugh too 😝🤣 are u on IG?
If you wanna cry, listen to Last Kiss by Pearl Jam. If you just want an amazing song: listen to Hunger Strike by Temple of The Dog, it's a band that Eddie (this guy) formed with Chris Cornell.
And “Last KISS” is a covered song originally sung by J Wilson & The Cavaliers 60’s. Yes EV does a great version but let’s see his influences in music first😉
@@carmenmehringer9765 yes I know lol. Just figured I'd offer PJ's version since it went with this one. I heard them playing the original in a store with my girlfriend and I was like "we need to get out of here I'm gonna get emotional." Lol
Oh babe, you’re doing one of my top 5 songs of all time! 🙏🙏🙏 Man, when this performance aired, it was instantly legendary. We knew what we were witnessing. So glad you loved it!! Ya got a great voice!!
Couple of things; you actually have a great singing voice. People have said this before, but it's true. This Unplugged session is legendary. The whole thing is about 30 minutes and i can guarantee that if you react to every song or the entire session people will flock to watch. Also, the other big grunge acts of the day with amazing Unplugged sessions that are a must see is Nirvana and Alice in Chains. PLEASE react to Nirvana Unplugged, Where did you Sleep Last Night. Lastly, this song obviously was written about a real relationship but you'll be happy to know he's been happily married for some time. 😌 Please, Please also react to Pearl Jam live at Pinkpop. The song is Porch and the whole performance is nuts. They didn't call him Crazy Eddie for nothing. 😛
This song made me feel SO MUCH PAIN when I was 15. I STILL can’t listen to it without crying...I was almost there and your reaction brought me back and made me laugh my ass off.
"Sheets of empty canvas, LAY spread out before me, as her body once did" 😆😆 "And now my BITTER hands, cradle broken glass, of what was everything"😆😆 Great reaction And like the other comments: You should do some singing, you really got something going on there. This song should come with a warning. I remember when it first came out. If it catches you in the wrong kind of mood, it can get under your skin and FUCK.YOU.UP.
I'm so glad you picked this song. I told my friend about your channel and showed him some of your videos and your his new favorite youtuber too. We watch your videos and laugh so much because youre entertaining as hell and today I was so excited that you picked a song I recommended. Me and my friend watched it together and loved every minute of it. I hope you keep making videos for a long time and have a lot of success doing it because you got a good thing goin' and we love watching it.
Pearl jam was never my favorite back in the day but, the older I get the more they have grown on me. Reminds me of being a teenager when life was carefree.
Absolutely true story: When this aired for the first time, I stood still as a statue in front of the TV holding my boom box, and recorded the whole concert onto a cassette tape. That's how we did it back then.
LOL, I never recorded MTV, but I sure did sit by the radio waiting for the song I wanted. DJ always ruined it by speaking over the start of the song!
Lol. You old. Me too hahaha
I remember those days .. lol 😂 we finally got VCR .. I loved recording mixed cassettes off the top 40 on the radio !
I did that too with a walkman. Took it to school (elementary) once and bullies ran away with it after punching the back of my neck a dozen times. I try my best not to let anyone take something away from me ever again.
Me to😉 damn the 90s my Sony .boom box and cassette tapes .and my Sony walkman
Who else loves it when people react to this live version for the first time?
YEP! Every one! Haha!
This and Where did you sleep last night nirvana unplugged, and AIC unplugged always get me
Meeeee!!!! ❤

Damn, you can actually sing (and in key). The ability to pick up the melody that quickly and digest the lyrics on first listen is pretty impressive.
Agree! I can so hear Mr. Vid singing "Mustang Sally" or anything Wilson Pickett performed, for sure. 🎙️🎶🎸
exactly what i thought haha. That was no joke when he started singing
When he says "Tattoo all I see" he isn't saying that he has tattoos that remind him of her. He is saying that his whole world has been tattooed with her; that his whole vision of the world has been covered in the black ink of his despair and longing for her.
He's saying both its a double ontandra
entendre* also I don’t think it is, as we can’t see any visible tattoos on his body
Dude you should start singing. You got a great ear. You mimic very accurately. Just sayin'

If we all could avoid being heartbroken at some point in our lives, songs and performances like this wouldn't exist. Beauty can be born from pain, sometimes 😉

I'm 55 and still unmarried and yet to meet the right person. People who find one another are blessed.
Eddie kills it on this track.
He said "laid spread out before me" not legs 🤣

It does sound like legs. I've always thought that also and I think the line would be better if it did say that! I always thought the line said Her legs spread out before me like they once did.
Legs is sexier tho

Would love to see you do these 2 by Pearl Jam:
Even Flow -(Official Music Video)
Porch - (Live at Pinkpop 1992--you won’t regret it)
I've heard this song countless times and it gives me chills every time
Hey, hey, yeah, uh
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn, ooh
And all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh and twisted thoughts that spin 'round my head
I'm spinning, oh I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be yeah
Oh oh ooh
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, oh can't it be mine?
Ooh, ah yeah, ah ooh
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo
Doodoo-doo-doo-doodoodoo, ooh ooh ooh
THERE IS ONLY ONE SKYDOG AND THAT WAS DUANE ALLMAN
Cousin Figel ...yep ...my favorite guitar player 🍄🍑✌️
Thanks for the lyrics.
jennie starrish ...your welcome ✌️
This song is a masterpiece
Great song and one of the most memorable live performances I've seen. I've watched it countless times and I'm still impressed by Eddie Vedder's vocal range and control! He puts tons of emotion into his performances! Good stuff!!
Go listen to the song Jeremy from this same live set by pearl jam. Its personally my favorite song they did on that set. It's about a kid his name was Jeremy, he went into school one day and shot himself in front of the whole class and killed himself. He was the quiet kid, and one of the lyrics he says "Jeremy spoke in class today" I dont want to spoil anything else. But I would love to watch you react to it. Love your channel so far btw bro, keep it rockin.
I agree- I do think the official video is quite powerful though- especially for a first timer- then do the live. Just my opinion-🤷🏼♀️
@@kimberlinibambini1988 yes official video!
As I white dude who grew up idolizing black music (and Pearl Jam) it’s really cool to see you feel this music as well.. it’s all love
Welcome to a world where you have experienced and understand the power of Eddie Vedder's voice. Supposedly he had a cold when they did this, which makes it even more impressive.
He is singing about his divorce, he really loved her, and she left. Very raw!
Ahh....Eddie Vedder's iconic vocals could never be mistaken.🥰
One of the greatest live recordings of a love song. The passion and conviction tugs all the heart strings.
Ok, but...now I need "Octavepus" merch. 🤣🤘
That was an off the charts reaction ! Loved it. Eddie Fedder is a very passionate artist.
"Laid spread out before me."..... I like where your mind is at though!
Thats where mine was but it's always there! 😁
Dude, I loved that you loved this!! I have been extremely hurt recently and what you had to say about this song really hit home. I thought I was with the one, then she left, and know I’ve found someone else that makes me genuinely happy and excited about life. There is no “one”!!!
Greatest song of all time. Vedder = GOAT
Haha! Octave-pus! That's amazing! He really is though. Awesome channel by the way.
Great react!!🔥🔥🔥

He always absolutely feels what the song is about. Wonderful voice. Your review was spot on!!
Watch the "even flow" video.
Also, Eddie Vedder performed with Roger of Pink Floyd at the 12-12-12 concert, "comfortably numb" it was so good.
Great reaction 👍 I’ve seen Pearl Jam live 27 times 🤯 they are just an unreal live band
Yessss. This is one if my favorite songs. Keep them coming. I love your reactions. They make my day better 🌛🌑🌜🥰
One of the best songs ever written. When your heart is broken this song some ice cream some sade and smirnoff and its done!
There it is, the best performance you'll ever see. It's all downhill from here
Great live performances like this are done by the most talented.Unplugged and live takes far more talent.I love it.
Yes so glad you did this there are a lot of Pearl Jam fans out there including myself so please check out some more of their music you should definitely check out Jeremy the official video first and then the live MTV version it's based on a true story and Eddie as always puts such emotion in everything he sings also great reaction
Eddie Vedder is the male equivalent of Stevie Nicks. Incredibly unique voice, amazing stage presence, lots of trinkets for the ears.
I agree 💯
So nice to see someone recognize "raw talent", Mr Vedder and his Pearl Jam mates were inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame some years ago---I think he sings far better than your average rock singer,,,,he means and feel every note from his toes to the tips of his gorgeous curly locks. 😁
YAY!!!! Pearl Jam is my favorite band!!! Great performance and reaction!!! More PJ and Eddie Vedder please!!!
Mr. Video your voice is beautiful.
One of the best live performances ever! Very very few artists can perform with this kind of talent in a live performance.
I liked pearl jam, but in a casual way. I didn't fully appreciate Eddie Vedder's voice until I heard him cover The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me." He nailed it and even enunciated the words. (As compared to the mumbling way he performs his own songs)
lmao, you had me rolling at his voice
check out evenflow by PearL Jam
YES!!!! 👆👆👆
The OFFICIAL VIDEO OF “EVEN FLOW”!!!
His voice is absolutely soulful perfection.
"Let that girl go, she got you trippin" 🤣🤣🤣 but man on the real tho, vedders voice is gold. This live version definitly gives ya goosebumps. Dude ur alwaya crackn me up late at night when my man trying to sleep. Il literally let our loud laugh and had to quit down so i dont wake up..he totally moved around like he heard me..he still snoring tho. Its all good 😜😝
That was a close call 😂😂😂
@@MrVideo123 hahahahaha yah happens alot..then the next day i have to play him what i was laughing at..he usually gets a good laugh too 😝🤣 are u on IG?
Best. Best. BEST!
Reaction EVER!
You pretend to be like, high & clownin'.
But you're some kinda dl genius from another universe.
If you wanna cry, listen to Last Kiss by Pearl Jam. If you just want an amazing song: listen to Hunger Strike by Temple of The Dog, it's a band that Eddie (this guy) formed with Chris Cornell.
Nah Eddie didn’t form it. He was invited to sing in it
@@Djerov2 you get my point.
Say Hello to Heaven has better vocals imo. Chris Cornell is amazing.
And “Last KISS” is a covered song originally sung by J Wilson & The Cavaliers 60’s. Yes EV does a great version but let’s see his influences in music first😉
@@carmenmehringer9765 yes I know lol. Just figured I'd offer PJ's version since it went with this one. I heard them playing the original in a store with my girlfriend and I was like "we need to get out of here I'm gonna get emotional." Lol
Oh babe, you’re doing one of my top 5 songs of all time! 🙏🙏🙏 Man, when this performance aired, it was instantly legendary. We knew what we were witnessing. So glad you loved it!! Ya got a great voice!!
Couple of things; you actually have a great singing voice. People have said this before, but it's true. This Unplugged session is legendary. The whole thing is about 30 minutes and i can guarantee that if you react to every song or the entire session people will flock to watch. Also, the other big grunge acts of the day with amazing Unplugged sessions that are a must see is Nirvana and Alice in Chains. PLEASE react to Nirvana Unplugged, Where did you Sleep Last Night. Lastly, this song obviously was written about a real relationship but you'll be happy to know he's been happily married for some time. 😌 Please, Please also react to Pearl Jam live at Pinkpop. The song is Porch and the whole performance is nuts. They didn't call him Crazy Eddie for nothing. 😛
This song made me feel SO MUCH PAIN when I was 15. I STILL can’t listen to it without crying...I was almost there and your reaction brought me back and made me laugh my ass off.
The executives wanted Pearl Jam to make a music video for this song but they refused saying it was too personal of a song to make a video for.
Always, my favorite reaction. Awesome, man!
"Sheets of empty canvas, LAY spread out before me, as her body once did" 😆😆
"And now my BITTER hands, cradle broken glass, of what was everything"😆😆
Great reaction
And like the other comments: You should do some singing, you really got something going on there.
This song should come with a warning.
I remember when it first came out.
If it catches you in the wrong kind of mood, it can get under your skin and FUCK.YOU.UP.
Pearl Jam’s best song. Truly. And there’s so many amazing songa
His voice is like a manual transmission car.
Lol omg, nice comment.
Smooth as eggs 😜Dave Chappelle
I'm so glad you picked this song. I told my friend about your channel and showed him some of your videos and your his new favorite youtuber too. We watch your videos and laugh so much because youre entertaining as hell and today I was so excited that you picked a song I recommended. Me and my friend watched it together and loved every minute of it. I hope you keep making videos for a long time and have a lot of success doing it because you got a good thing goin' and we love watching it.
The singer gave his self chills...Damn...
Pearl jam was never my favorite back in the day but, the older I get the more they have grown on me. Reminds me of being a teenager when life was carefree.
