Steve's one on one with Eddie made me cry and the fact that Steve is making video diaries for his kid made me cry more than I expected.
Same.
I totally lost it at that point.
No ego's, just a raw conversation between great people.
Steve communicates so beautifully with his eyes and smile he more than compensates for his voice
That's a long space between records, wtf!
That was so funny
hilarious 😂
Hilarious!
Instablaster.
Omg.....Eddie talking about his father...that was really touching.
45:09 the moment where every single person who watched this video lost it. What followed was so heavy, yet beautiful.
When Eddie mentioned the early years and that people liked it, I think it’s because we all go through some form of late teen/early adulthood angst; and it’s a huge rush of newness; in the form of freedom, rights, accountability, and revolt. The emotion and passion you feel in those years is intense; and you can see and feel that in their performance as youths. It makes me nostalgic but also reminds me of the drive I once had and assurance that I was going to make something of myself.
You guys were perfectly imperfect in your youth and we love you for it, because we all feel it too.
🤘🤘
Well said!
I absolutely loved this interview...
I recently lost a very close friend Paul to ALS on Feb 11, 2017, after a near 5 year battle... He was only 32 years old. After watching Paul's health steadily decline and how stoic he was in dealing with everything that was happening to him, it's easy for me to say that he is strongest person I've ever had the opportunity of knowing.. Bar none..
Like Paul, Steve Gleason is a hero beyond the scope of words... And, though I cannot begin to imagine the torment, pain and confusion that comes with an ALS diagnosis, I can imagine that those suffering from this disease would be proud to know that there's someone like Steve out there fighting for them and enhancing the lives of those affected and truly making a real difference...
Truthfully, I cried throughout the entire documentary, but in the end was left with an overall feeling of love and compassion, and a new appreciation for life...
Thank you Steve for your honesty, courage and love.... You are a true inspiration, and Paul would have been proud to have you on his team.
Rest In Peace
Paul Charles John Denby (12/12/1984 - 02/11/2017)
A true Champion...
A Son, a Brother, an incredible Father and the best friend one could ask for...
I love you brother,
Bar none. That's deep
Very true feelings in your post. ALS is a cruel motherfucker. I hate it. I've lost two very close and special people in my life to it. Cancer is curable and treatable----not ALS. God bless your friend Paul Denby and never ever forget, he's watching you live for him and about him. That's at least how I try to feel with my losses. Steve is a warrior and it's been a tough road that he took and made the best of---with LOVE. And that's all we need. It's really all we'll ever need to get out of this world.
The conversation that starts at 44:00 is so beautiful. As a woman, it is so fascinating to watch men express their emotions that way. You men cry beautifully. There is something about the way you try to fight it, and hold back - it makes you look, in a way, regal and strong. Just don't forget that crying is not weakness, nor is there anything wrong with showing weakness on occasion. Anyway, Eddie and Steve looked so beautiful there!
You are right. It seems most men push those emotions down and hide them. I find that sad because, as a woman, connecting with a man when he can let that vulnerability show is desirable. The mutual trust required is great for a relationship. Plus, trust is sexy as hell

BurgundyCouture On a human level,I don't understand how anybody couldn't well up crocodile tears. Gets me Everytime I come back to watch this interview. Powerful stuff.
I feel the same way about my mother. She died of a brain tumor when I was 6. I can barely remember her face now. When she died I don't remember her being spoke about again. Maybe my dad found it too hard. He remaried quite soon and I was forced to call this new woman mum. I've always felt a massive part of me missing. Looking back i must have been deeply traumatized. It wasn't a quick death. I don't know anything about who she was.
I really teared up.... ❤ You are so right.
OMG...just a powerful interview. Steve not only asked the questions that many fans wanna ask, but he got the answers. I think is the first time i see Jeff open like that as well as Eddie sharing that info about his dad. Mind blowing interview!!!
If there was ever a moment to show how humble, down to earth and kind these guys are, it's this.
New appreciation for Jeff after his comment about struggling with having kids vs not having kids, the pressures people can put on you for your choices and how they can be insensitive about these things. I needed to hear that today.
My wife and I watched Gleason last night. I've NEVER cried at a movie before, but after this show, we were both weeping. This was fucking powerful. And Eddie's 1 on 1 with Steve, talking about fatherhood, hit me like a ton of bricks. You're a great man Eddie and Steve is inhumanly strong willed.
This is literally my favourite interview of all time.
Major respect to Pearl Jam, and Steve.
I have tears in my eyes. Steve speaking of his timeline and making a video diary. Then listening to Eddie share his story. Just watching him open up and be so emotional and vulnerable. So touching! I couldn’t help but cry. Eddie Vedder is truly a special person. ❤️
My father passed away of MND (ALS) 3 years ago, when his lungs one day decided they had enough. We played Just Breathe at the funeral. Perfect fit for my Dad.
Uhh, watching Eddie talking about his dad was heartbreaking. Tears are definitely flowing right now. I really wish I'd been born earlier so I could've experienced their music from the beginning. I was born in 1991 and never really heard any of their music until 2004 or so, definitely been catching up ever since though. Its so great to watch these interviews. Great questions from Steve all around!
It's never too late to catch up to the timeless music of Pearl Jam.
It was a great time for music if you were interested in honesty and integrity, music isn't the same anymore, that was the last music revolution.
+Gill Dawe I only really started listening to PJ in 2013. I was born in 1984 so I was 6 when they were most popular. Since 2013, I have become quite a fan. Something about them is just reachable. There is so much music that feels like you are down here and they are up there. With Pearl Jam, it feels like they are right there with you. People 100 years from now will know Pearl Jam songs. In 2115, people will still be jamming out to Alive.
+Gill Dawe
I'm so envious because i have been there from the beginning. you are only now discovering the journey . It's like a present at Christmas time you get to open
Gill Dawe I'm sorry that your generation didn't receive a band to withstand the test of time. That era of music was a very magical time. My sympathies.
Steves one on one with Eddie made this grown man cry like a baby, powerful stuff.
This is one of the greatest interviews of all time
This is still one of the best interviews I've ever seen/read. They're all such a bunch of sweetie-pies. How awesome it would be to have a hard copy of this on DVD?
I'd love that 🙌
I don't have any words that accurately express my love of PJ. They were also the soundtrack of my teens and college years and I am better for it. Pearl Jam and John Prine have given me so much. Thank you.
I am at a loss for words. The honesty shared between Steve and PJ is truly remarkable. I am proud of both parties and couldn't be happier for them.
My dad died in a plane crash when I was 8 months old. The conversation that starts at 44:20 really resonates with me. I have no memories of him but I always wanted to know as much as I can of what type of man he was.
This band is so humble and talented. I knew eddie was like this, but not the whole band! Go PJ!
Thank you for giving this interview with Steve Gleason Pearl Jam.
That was quite intense but beautifully honest...especially Eddie's deeply personal and honest answer about his thoughts of his father. You're all still so down to earth as a band and that's quite special. Amazing.
Ouch that was a hardball question to Jeff about kids….one of those things that starts out completely harmless but full of meaning. So strange how something like that can change the temperature in a room. I enjoyed his interview with the guys more than the others I have seen so far
Holy shit everything about eddie makes me want to tear up. from his song black to his emotional interviews. i can tell this guy was a very emotional dude.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. God bless PJ and Mr. Gleason.
amen to that
Respect, it's an inspiring human being talking with a real inspiring band
God this is one of my favorite interviews of all time.
Eddie has the ultimate baritonish voice
Absolutely heavenlyyyy
to the 25 thumb down ppl...
why? what was your issue? if u don't like pj why did u watch? to me it is 1 of the best interviews I have seen that the group has done.
This interview simply brought tears to my eyes (in a good way). It's beyond amazing how dedicated, genuine, and human these guys are! Steve makes one hell of an interviewer! And kudos to Jeff and Eddie for handling those extremely personal questions with such openness... I wish I was somewhat old enough in the 90s to experience, truly understand, and even appreciate the impact of their music. I'm just really glad they've managed to stay together long enough for me to catch up (though I'm still catching up)! And it's really nice to see many young people (even some in their teens) enjoy PJ's music and the band overall.
So giving. Y’all are my favorite humans. ❤️
55:50 is why their band is so great because they all care about each other.
Pearl Jam will always be one of the best rock bands ever.
Everything he says is so great and relatable
What amazes me is that this is one of the better musician interviews i've watched in general, which is crazy considering the interviewer is not a musician and has to use a voice synthesizer.
2 coolest people still alive. Eddie Vedder and Steve Gleason.
I just tried for about 10 mins to make a comment about Eddie and Steve's conversation about the journal. Can't express what I feel with words. Tough to watch, but just unreal seeing two men of that calibre talking so honestly over things like that. I've got so much respect for Steve, and even more respect for Eddie than I already did. Don't think I've ever watched such a powerful interview in a long, long time. Sad, but amazing nonetheless.
This is what a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band looks like
It looks like Eddie is tearing up at 1:29 also
this is f#@king amazing
Living in New Orleans and watching the Saints my whole life, and my father passing away a year before they won the Superbowl, and going through Katrina, that team and specifically watching that first game when Steven blocked the punt , and I was behind bars at that time, such an emotional moment, damn... The challenges of life, you really have to cherish every moment and tell your family you love em bc they aren't and you aren't guaranteed tomorrow, so, you gotta fucking dig that spirit from deep inside and fight on. Soo many things I wanna say, just can't ....hope some of that made sense.
46:00 - at the age of 55 and we share similar experiences and we still have very similar wishes and the residual emotional effect of what we didnt get. I hear you Eddy, same here man......
You are awesome guys. Writing this at time of COVID, our family is touched like Steve’s with life altering disability our son, but diffferent. Watching this at the time it was, you guys are true rockstars through and through. God bless to you and Steve. This clip has given me strength xxx
Wishing you a life of hope, strength and love, Louise. Huge hugs to you - especially in those difficult times. Love from Australia xxx
One of the coolest interviews I have seen in a while. Thanks for the upload...excellent
how they chose to do press for this album is inspiring and fantastic
0:45 Eddie's eyes getting teary :(
The segment with Eddie Vedder talking about his dad shows how human he is. It is one of the reason I love this band. These people are just guys like you and me and are just lucky enough to get to do what they love. We should all be so lucky!
i was trying not to cry until he talked about his son, n not being aroung, i lost it, my dad was only 56, diagnosed at 55.horrible
Lidya Lu sorry
"at least someone liked it"... Binaural is a very underrated album
Eddie's voice is deeeeep.
This was just so awesome across the board.Great questions, great answers, awesome interviewer and awesome people to interview. Great insight into the process of of a great band.
Love ya brother, Steve Gleason! Lovya football, lovya music.
This is one amazing interview
This made me really emotional. Happy and Sad. I cried at the part where Eddie talked about his father. I feel like they don't give themselves enough credit for what they've done. Very modest. Amazing interview, though. Thank you for this.
Way too awesome. I graduated high school in '91 and I too feel Pearl jam wrote the soundtrack to my life, along with other Seattle bands. I also am a recovering addict, going on 3 years and look up to these guys so much. Amazing interview! Thanks
Ever heard of Alice in chains ?
Hope all is well in the recovery.. fellow human
My favorite interview!
Some of the best advice I've heard on how to write songs as a band.
It was fun transcribing this interview.
AMAZING STORY,THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Very moving
surprisingly a great interview and idea .. very brave of both parties .. with fun and great results
This is just great. Powerful stuff
Powerful moments beginning at 44:19.
Amazing interview Steve. Well done!
This is among the top video content that I have ever seen. It was very interesting as any good interview should be; but it was also emotionally powerful at times. I've been a fan of Pearl Jam's music since I was 15 years old. But this interview humanizes these guys and makes them relateable in a way that brings them out of the realm of the untouchable, and into the realm were we mere mortals exist. Not only is this just a world class band, but they are also a group of really fucking great guys. Anyone lucky enough to be able to call any of these guys a friend, is lucky indeed.
I think everyone should watch this interview, their some Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder haters out there, and it really upset me!! These are awesome human beings, alive and performing 30+ and I've watched 100's of Pearl Jam concerts on my phone, millions of fans that love them dearly and appreciate them. Yes Eddie has his politics and I know it pisses people off, he just wants a better world for all of us!! Eddie has been through so much so has everyone in the band, I'm sorry I hope I made sense, I absolutely love Pearl Jam been a huge fan since the beginning. 😊💓🤘✌️
This is awesome
That stuff Ed says about trust, is bang on. My father was not in the picture at all really and I am 48 today and still have trouble trusting. Arrested my development into an adult is some way that is hard to describe. PJ is an amazing band. Been a fan since I saw the Even Flow video when I was in university back in 91. Have only seen them once live back in 1993 with Neil Young in Toronto. In the last couple of years I have rediscovered PJ and it is like new all over...thanks Ed, thanks PJ. Cheers.
You know after 20 something years of playing together they have had thier ups & downs but have done nothing but get better! They are true musicians playing from life experiances of what surounds them & from the heart. I too am just like Steve in the sence that they have also played the musical scores for my life, they would be missing for a few years but that would give me the chance to re-listen to the older albums (CD's). Lol, thanks Pearl Jam. Keep on doing what you do best.
thanks guys for the talk. We each have challenges in this life for sure. Its what we do with the hand we're dealt that counts. Peace, and God bless you.
Not a dry eye in the room. Bravo
Thank you.
Bloody hell. Ed's interview was nerve wrecking. What great questions Steve asks here!
Wow . I was a 20 year old kid / student with no money at all, but it didnt matter - cause I had Pearl Jam.
and so many years later, they are still MY band. They are like Led Zeppelin. Forever there. Forever Omnipresent in your mind. Like Soundgarden too of course
But so many years later - this guy says what I felt was true: Sirens and Infallible proved to me that this band is for the ages - many ages to come. Thank you guys.
All the best to you all and all your close and friends. Sincerely, from Øyvind ( Strange old viking / norse name that almost only appears in Norway these days - it sounds a bit like Ivan to some - anyway, cheers to you all , fans and all. Keep listening.
These guys are pretty nice for doing this.
Amazinly touching.
Exciting
I’ve heard of these guys, but I don’t think I would have recognized them. When I saw the documentary, I was like, “Pearl Jam needs to do something for this fan.” Thank you so much for this and everything you did for him. 🥰🥰🥰 More people need to do nice stuff for the less fortunate. I’m glad my parents raised me to always think and do that.
Pearl Jam! I've always listened to you during football! You're my favorite of all time!
Wonderful!
smiled the whole time,when he said "what the fuck" I smiled from ear to ear what a great interview and video
Live love love you guys! Including Steve! 💕💜❤️
Loved this. And I hope Stone's Dog is ok.
The best band of the world! My heroes!
This is so cool.
Yep! I cried!
my heart
Amazing
Wow. Just wow.
Great Guys.Not big headed.Just down to earth,guys.
What a powerful interview. Thank you guys for baring your souls, and for sharing this. Also, huge kudos for the production team. They’ve done something incredible with the lights and cameras ... I felt I was in the room. It was a beautiful place to be.
Great interview, damn right no thumbs down for this.
pjam1184 I would love to know what the 25 dipshits that thumb down was thinking..
Besides I dont und english so well, that's amazing interview !!!!! Is it possible to have a subtitled version of this (even on english subtitles) ?? Would be great, for us, here in south america ! God bless u all ! Brazil
how does one physically press the dislike button on this video? Pearl Jam rocks.
i love pearl jam so much. not just there music, but all of them as people too. they all seem so nice and caring and just do things there way and dont give a shit. also they make real music reguardless if u like it o if its good they make what they want. you damn well know there not listening to fake ass producers and that tell them to do this and that, and agree to do shit against what they want just to sell a couple of albums.
LOVE.
We're excited for Mary and Clay with this film. I know Mary from college, the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I also have a similar disease and am in a wheelchair.
Years ago, I was on a tour with you guys because I'm friends with members of the Smashing Pumpkins. This brings a lot together in my life and it made so much sense you guys did the music.
peace to u..n luv
