She can't understand this song she really needs to hear Even Flow or Yellow Ledbetter she'd probably have to listen to them over and over a billion times😅
This is a very painful beautiful song. You could clearly see his pain as he is hitting the high notes. I LOVE this song, I could relate to this song. 🙏🏼
I have never been able to sit through this song without bursting into tears at 'that line': "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky But why can't it be mine" Get's me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Over 30 years and thousands of listens to this version of Black, I still get full body goosebumps immediately, just like my first listen when it aired in 92. Man, this song frigging guts. I'm so happy and honestly proud, to hear a person of her generation really appreciate this beautiful example of what we were lucky to have back then. Thank you.

Or Jeremy :) the MTV Unplugged Pearl Jam's concert was one of the best I have ever heard in my life. Yellow Ledbetter, much extended Porch, Even Flow... goosebumps just on the memory of those songs played unplugged :)
What I love most about Vedder's voice is the way he communicates not just emotion but a vulnerability. He always feels like he's confiding in us, with his sudden highness sounding almost like a moment of being overwhelmed by what he's feeling. It's such an intimate experience.

Eddie and Chris Cornell for me have voices that just open different portals in the universe. Unbelievably powerful but gentle at the same time. Perfect tone and pitch in telling a story, and the melody brings the emotions out the person listening.
This performance is one of a kind. Eddie is 110% invested. You can feel the hurt, the emotion, the heartbreak in his voice. The vocals match exactly with the lyrics. This song gets me teary everytime I hear it.
I've seen this specific live performance of Pearl Jam a couple hundred times and I literally get goosebumps every time usually at the part about when he says the girl will be a star in somebody else's sky but why but why

Eddie said Black is about something he really felt and still feels every time he sings it. That’s why it’s so moving. That’s the quality that a singer who’s technically good can never have if they’re not feeling what they’re singing. I’m heartbroken with him hearing this song. His voice sounds heartbroken and defeated
It's funny to see a young person watching it for the first time, cause Pearl Jam is kind a religion to me. I wish I could go back in time to have this feeling of listening to them for the first time too!

Ahhh, back when MTV was good!!! The unplugged series was one of the best programs they had on air. Saw them back in the 91 when 10 came out. It was a killer concert. Eddie has a very unique and distinct voice. The 80s and 90s were an awesome time to be alive.
You're such a nerd, lady. And it's always such a pleasure to see someone TOTALLY nerd out on something as amazing as Eddie's voice. Thanks for sharing this.
This song is a great example of what made Grunge so special. The best bands were expressing raw emotion, which had been missing from much of the corporate crap of the late 80s that immediately preceded Grunge.
Grunge unplugged is like rock meets country and cranks it up to 11 as if it's a concert on the last day before the asteroid takes us all out. It's the best of all worlds. You don't get to hear rock get that vulnerable or country get that raw but in grunge unplugged they do. Guys like Tyler Childers sounds like that. I felt like that's where Kurt would have been heading.
@@lasey.baggins-cupitt8754 I am also relieved he didn’t go to Walgreens and get some cough drops for the cold he had that night! This concert wouldn’t have sounded half as good.
This was such a cool video, not for just because I love Pearl Jam but because your reaction was so pure, genuine and down right cool! I could watch you watch Eddie and react for ages. Thank you for sharing such a cool video. I think I will appreciate the band even more now 😁
I can remember when I was 16 hearing Pearl Jam’s Ten album for the first time. It still is in my top 5 albums of all time. I still listen to it in its entirety to this day and I am nearly 50. Love it.

@@yankeewogI was 19, just graduated from HS and it seemed like every day my radio station played something new that blew my mind and changed an entire generation of music
I was fourteen and fifteen getting it my first time in 91. I ended up with 37 PJ cd’s at one point!! With studio, imports, and the live concerts they released which was wonderful getting all those live performances we could listen to over and over.
This is Gen X music, and I appreciate the fact that you appreciate it because it meant a lot to us at the time. The process you go through here trying to figure out what exactly Eddie is saying is what every single Gen X'er in college tried to figure out at the time. What exactly are the lyrics? Once you know what they are, you never forget them and the song means that much more to you and you never understand how you didnt recognize it initially. This song, and more specifically this performance made Eddie a legend.
It's also older millennial music. This is what we grew up listening to as we grew up. Sure, I was only 5 when this came out so I didn't understand it but it was the *sounds* I grew up on.
I was one year old when they released their first album, even though, I knew who they were during my teenage years, and my parents never listened to them, my parents were more into 60's to 80's songs. I can't believe it either that's still people who don't know Pearl Jam. And I'm Brazilian!
It still means a lot to us. It's so cutting every time we lose one of these people who meant so much. I was 18 when this came out. It was a real shock to me when kurt died, then as they continued to fall, from Michael hutchence, Shannon hoon, Layne, Scott, prince, Tom petty, Chris, Chester, even sinead, it's a real killer, knife in the heart. We have Billy Corgan, Eddie Vedder and Billy from Green day ... what the he'll? Robert plant mick jagger and Paul McCartney are here but our generations heroes are clocking out.
They were my dad’s favourite of all time too. They were the first band I saw live (when I was 10) with him and we saw them again years later together. We played Just Breathe at his funeral in July.

I was 32 years old and fell in love with pearl jam in the 90s immediately after i heard the song black than Jeremy i was like hit after hit afer hit back than...❤❤❤😊😊still one of my favorite bands of all time...
“And now my bitter hands Cradle broken glass…” Until I heard this song, I’d never had the words to describe the heartbreak of a relationship smashed to pieces. Thanks, Eddie! ❤❤❤
I can't imagine not knowing the music of Pearl Jam. The 90s certainly was a special time to be alive. One of the greatest concerts I have ever been to.
I can imagine it if you are completely not interested in music at all... I don't understand why this woman are making videos about artists she knows nothing about and clearly has no interest in... Like WHO is this analysis for? There are millions of people who have analysed PJ with lots more knowledge, insights and personality than her... its just arrogant to believe people are interested in watching what she has to say . So Gen-Z... to bring absolutely nothing of substance to the table, just your opinions and feelings and then make the whole world listen to it.. the most meaningless generation of all time... no contribution whatsoever...
The analysis is for choral people like myself. A Gen X woman who enjoys watching someone analyze the voice from a musically educated standpoint of one of my favorite singers.
It's so amazing to watch a critic and a analytical student of vocals to be taken in to the artist without pretense. This was what analysis of any discipline should look like. A very refreshing. Thanks for your objectivity and appreciation. I didn't learn about Pearl Jam until I was in my 70s

Favorite front man & band of all time. You struggled defining his voice because he can't really be defined. He writes and sings from the deepest depths of his soul. After 30 years or so, I still get teary eyed during that "why can't it be mine" section. The pain is just so tangible.
I find great joy in watching someone else fall in love with the music, with Eddie, with PJ - with all the things that has made music like this the soundtrack of my life.
This time in rock and roll was so special because it disrupted mainstream music. Mainstream shifted from misogynistic party rock and campy love ballads thrown up by the over commercialized glam metal bands to this introspective, human examination and emotional struggle offered up by bands like Pearl Jam. And all of those unfamiliar nuances of a voice like Eddie's is an expression of the introspective emotional struggle that we all have tucked away. I think that's why we were swept away by it, we all can relate in some way. I love your discovery of this. Brilliant reaction.
Fun fact you should consider is Eddie didn’t actually want to release this song. It was so emotional for him when he wrote this he didn’t want it out there. So when you listen to it keep in mind the emotional aspects of things and how he uses his voice to project those emotions

I've seen literally dozens of people reacting to this song for the first time, and only 1 has ever mentioned the fact that Eddie is doing this sitting down.
Strength and vulnerability at the same time… that is what makes him special… the rage from sadness is how most of us feel. That is why we relate to this band.

There were no reaction channels when bands like this came out but its a very cool thing seeing reactions to really good music from another time. Well done again 🙂
@@justincase3108 a vocal coach suggesting she has never heard one of the greatest singers from one of the greatest bands that has dozens of hits is just insulting. It’s literally her job to know music. She is a liar. But at least she gives good analysis’ of songs. Don’t know why she feels the need to pretend.
Was lucky enough to see Pearl Jam at the height of their fame in Paris with a small crowd, still the greatest gig i have ever been to(and ive been stage crew for 30 year)...hundreds of gigs... IMO Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell and Layne Staley epitomised what was great about the grunge era....Great vocals with emotion.Was great to see someone getting excited about music that i grew up with ...peace...
I live in Seattle! The Underground! The Crocodile Cafe! The Colosseum! Bumpershoot! Candlebox, Lane Staley, Screaming Trees. Eddie lives in W. Seattle! 😍😍😍😍
The drums are really the amazing flower that make this song ring. The highlights and trills on the cymbals and high hat are as dynamic as vedders voice with the drive of the snare. What an amazing group
So jealous watching you get to experience Eddie for the first time. I’d give anything to hear him for the first time again. Life changing. (My first time hearing him was some 30 years ago and it’s been love ever since)
I’ve been to hundreds of Pearl Jam concerts from the mid 90s to today. Member of the 10 club, but what I love most about this song is, every time it’s played live when the best and most depressing verse is sang that 40,000 people belt it out and all 40,000 voices all have a different story and meaning behind what those lyrics meant
Such a great reaction Bethany! Such a raw and emotional song, sung by one of the greats of the 90s. Even more amazing to see you hear him for the first time. I'm especially fond of your remarking on appreciating his intensity, and talking about how that and the air pressure plays a big role in the production of his sound. Very much agree (although I am not as adept at analyzing voice as you). You mention the emotion, and not being sure if the voice is going to crack or begin crying. I can draw a parallel to LiSA, who I think has a natural gift when it comes to both perfection of vocal production, but then the ability to lose herself in her song, the intensity of it, and get carried away inside of it - a rare gift for a singer - and it is amazing to see perfection vs almost losing control come into play in a song. That's how you should sing an emotional song - intensely, at risk of losing control of your emotions. You reacted to LiSA's Gurenge on First Take and were impressed. I wonder if you might come back to her and check out her Homura on First Take. It's amazing to see the intensity and emotion build. There's CC for lyrics in English too: ua-cam.com/video/4Q9DWZLaY2U/v-deo.html Your reactions are among the best when it comes to vocals. I really appreciate it! That intense part towards the end is truly epic. That is indeed Eddie maining those melodic sounds in there, although the backup singers were still there too. Amazing. I'd react to more Eddie Vedder, too...

Very well said! OMG...I first heard BLACK, (TEN) over 30 years ago! That was the moment I fell in love with EDDIE'S voice! 🥰 Then, seeing him perform he was so adorable! 😘 BLACK ,. EDDIE -& PEARL JAM are in bothu heart & soul!!! ❤️
Thats the thing about 90's grunge bands, most of the vocalists have such a unique style and tone. From Kurt, to Eddie, to Chris, to Lane. They are all amazing and have such heart in their music.
Vulnerable, that's exactly it. Eddie lays it all out there, and you can see his bandmates look at him with care and sometimes even concern, because he was so raw and exposed, and they knew it was emotionally exhausting to go that deep and to lay there stripped bare for all to see his pain... We all felt it.
I remember hearing Eddie sing on the soundtrack to “into the wild” from another room while my roommates watched it and was hooked after 10seconds. Literally obsessed with him. What an amazing man.
I was in high school in the early 90s and I clearly remember and feel the dawn of grunge and coming into the scene via MTV. I grew up in a small Texas town and I was blown away by grunge, immediately fell in love. Singers like Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley/Jerry Cantrell, Chris Cornell, and other greats changed my life. Grunge takes me to another place, another time and I don’t want to come back to the now. Those of us who are a part of GenX and loved this genre will always, ALWAYS turn to this music. It allowed us to feel sad and angry and romantic all at the same time. I absolutely love this genre and Pearl Jam is one of the best.
Watching someone hear this for the first time is almost as captivating as the original song. Your instant appreciation is heart warming and fantastic. I love this video.

Eddie actually had a bad head cold at the time of this recording. Eddie put even more power into Jeremy from this same concert. Every song from this mtv unplugged shows why Eddie along with Chris Cornell and Layne Stayley were considered the greatest singers from this era. it is also interesting to see pearl jam live now and how eddie has had to adjust to not being able to hit some of the same notes 40 years later but still able to belt it out and blow away most singers 30 years younger than him.
@2:13 he's sings "how quick the sun can drop away" which is the 2nd verse. The first verse is supposed to be "I know she gave me all that she wore" you can tell he knows he muffed it when he shakes his head in the moment.
@brweeks881 the story is one of the reasons the song ends so emotionally was he was so pissed off the rest of the song that he flubbed that verse. Now it is considered one of their best ever live performances. Lol.
Never knew that but I hear it now. Good trivia bit. That would make lesser artists stumble but he powered through and made something legendary and timeless.
This song captures so much emotion, so mamy different layers, and the most epic beautiful lyric "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, Im somebody else's sky...BUT WHYYY WHYYYY CANT IT BE, CANT BE MIiiiiiiNE 😢❤
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, why can’t it be mine That lyric gets me every time, you can just feel the heartbreak and loneliness pour out of his soul.
Pearl jam live is a different beast. Mr vedder really likes playing with his vocals live and it shows. He made an appearance on Howard stern a few years ago and u could see him doing fun things right then and there. He's a great vocalist.
I just stumbled across your channel and I gotta say, this might be the best reaction video I've watched. Watching you get into the song with your facial expressions was awesome, and I mean that in the best way. You were really appreciating it and understanding why Eddie Vedder and Pearly Jam are so unique and beloved. Well done!

He’s impassioned and barely contained. He’s handsome, dangerous and *feeling* his words so intensely. And he’s authentic to the bone.
Eddie can break your heart while making you thankful to be alive.
Love to see your reaction to an unplugged version of "Alive"
Or Jeremy :) the MTV Unplugged Pearl Jam's concert was one of the best I have ever heard in my life. Yellow Ledbetter, much extended Porch, Even Flow... goosebumps just on the memory of those songs played unplugged :)
Nirvana unplugged is better, it’s also the original
@BlessedAreTheCheesemakers it’s definitely my favourite nirvana album fuckhead
What I love most about Vedder's voice is the way he communicates not just emotion but a vulnerability. He always feels like he's confiding in us, with his sudden highness sounding almost like a moment of being overwhelmed by what he's feeling. It's such an intimate experience.

Yes. That's exactly what I feel when I listen to him. It's like he's telling us what he's feeling.
Now imagine being 14 years old and hearing it for the first time, then seeing him sing it live at 16. The impact this song and Eddie Vedder have had on my life is immeasurable
We're probably about the same age. Probably feeling the same emotions and memories. Haven't heard it in a very long time and I'm totally shook rn.
I was in college, so impactful. I went through a hard time and listening to this on repeat helped more than anything.
Or being 14 and going through your first heartbreak while this song is everywhere… 🤌🏼
Agreed. And Into the Wild is my favorite movie of all time partially because of Eddie's perfect soundtrack.
You never forget Vedder's voice. It feels like gravity.
❤
Exactly this❤
❤❤verdade!
❤
I read that as gravy, both work
Pain. That’s that sound you can’t quite identify. This isn’t just a song for him. He’s baring his soul.
Exactly.
Yes... it's more than sound... it is an emotion that can be seen and heard.
That plus a little extra - anger. This wasn't a part of album version. The "Black" live carries so much more of emotional load.
Yes he is. Its the hardest song he's ever performed live. His words.

Eddie and Chris Cornell for me have voices that just open different portals in the universe. Unbelievably powerful but gentle at the same time. Perfect tone and pitch in telling a story, and the melody brings the emotions out the person listening.
Chris Cornell’s voice will always immediately connect to my heart. RIP, Chris Cornell. 💔
Absolutely! Surely you are also moved by Layne Staley of Alice in Chains?💔

You can add Layne Staley to that as well. Incredible voice!
@@enryiggins2878I think so often that i can’t believe the world lost Chris Cornell’s voice. It spoke to my soul.
Eddie, Layne, and Chris- three of the top 5 rock singers in history. Hands down!
This performance is one of a kind. Eddie is 110% invested. You can feel the hurt, the emotion, the heartbreak in his voice. The vocals match exactly with the lyrics. This song gets me teary everytime I hear it.
love is so or so made from the devil... at the end it ever hurts and no other feeling can bring someone to kill another with unbelievable rage...
110% is not possible.

@@travzimmerman1340 You're fun at parties, huh?
also, he added 10% more words on this version than the album version, so it _does_ kinda work.
I've seen this specific live performance of Pearl Jam a couple hundred times and I literally get goosebumps every time usually at the part about when he says the girl will be a star in somebody else's sky but why but why
Probably one of my favorite lines in a song, ever!
I miss MTV playing MUSIC. The first letter. The "unpluggeds". Nirvana. PJ. Alice in Chains. 10000 Maniacs, literal last concert with Merchant.
That line *never* hurts any less
The most beautiful words
Every time... without fail.
Watching someone experience this song for the first time is magical.
for real
It's a masterpiece, we know. Welcome to Pearl Jam.
Shame they peaked initially like this, though. It was all downhill from “Ten”

I was in my teens and I bought this album....I STILL listen to it ALL.THE.TIME!
Eddie Vedder is a National Treasure, he's the last Original Grunge frontman we have.
When we lost Chris, my immediate thought was “someone get eyes on Eddie.” 🙁
Mr Vedder would disagree. Neil Young is still here.
We kind of all knew it would be Eddie who would carry the torch. With warm regards to Neil Young, of course.
National? You know where he was born?……
Um... Illinois? @@sjefhendrickx2257

You need to listen to more Eddie. He sang with so much heart. Beautiful voice and powerful. It pulls you in and makes you feel!
Eddie said Black is about something he really felt and still feels every time he sings it. That’s why it’s so moving. That’s the quality that a singer who’s technically good can never have if they’re not feeling what they’re singing. I’m heartbroken with him hearing this song. His voice sounds heartbroken and defeated
It's funny to see a young person watching it for the first time, cause Pearl Jam is kind a religion to me. I wish I could go back in time to have this feeling of listening to them for the first time too!
Could you buy two tickets please and I'll meet you on the bus
Yes, I feel the same ^^
I lost count of how many times I had to buy a new copy of ten...Just played them till they wore out.
Huge impact on many lives.
Did we just watch her fall in love with Eddie and his voice?❤😂
yeh.. think so.. 💯
Sure did. She fell in love.
its easy to do... We've all done it.
She is gushing for Eddie 😂
I'm falling in love with her falling in love with Eddie and his voice.
You learn what we have known for decades. When he sings, he does so with his soul, not only his voice. ❤

Ahhh, back when MTV was good!!! The unplugged series was one of the best programs they had on air. Saw them back in the 91 when 10 came out. It was a killer concert. Eddie has a very unique and distinct voice. The 80s and 90s were an awesome time to be alive.
alive?
You're such a nerd, lady. And it's always such a pleasure to see someone TOTALLY nerd out on something as amazing as Eddie's voice. Thanks for sharing this.
This song is the epitome of crushing emotional pain. So powerfully vulnerable. It is gut wrenching every time. Absolutely brilliant. 😭
This song is a great example of what made Grunge so special. The best bands were expressing raw emotion, which had been missing from much of the corporate crap of the late 80s that immediately preceded Grunge.
Grunge unplugged is like rock meets country and cranks it up to 11 as if it's a concert on the last day before the asteroid takes us all out. It's the best of all worlds. You don't get to hear rock get that vulnerable or country get that raw but in grunge unplugged they do. Guys like Tyler Childers sounds like that. I felt like that's where Kurt would have been heading.
Yes! Well observed!
I'm so relieved Eddy Vedder never went to a vocal coach... Imagine the loss.
@@lasey.baggins-cupitt8754
I am also relieved he didn’t go to Walgreens and get some cough drops for the cold he had that night! This concert wouldn’t have sounded half as good.
🎯🎯
This was such a cool video, not for just because I love Pearl Jam but because your reaction was so pure, genuine and down right cool! I could watch you watch Eddie and react for ages. Thank you for sharing such a cool video. I think I will appreciate the band even more now 😁
I can remember when I was 16 hearing Pearl Jam’s Ten album for the first time. It still is in my top 5 albums of all time. I still listen to it in its entirety to this day and I am nearly 50. Love it.
I feel the same way

@@yankeewogI was 19, just graduated from HS and it seemed like every day my radio station played something new that blew my mind and changed an entire generation of music
I was fourteen and fifteen getting it my first time in 91. I ended up with 37 PJ cd’s at one point!! With studio, imports, and the live concerts they released which was wonderful getting all those live performances we could listen to over and over.
This is Gen X music, and I appreciate the fact that you appreciate it because it meant a lot to us at the time. The process you go through here trying to figure out what exactly Eddie is saying is what every single Gen X'er in college tried to figure out at the time. What exactly are the lyrics? Once you know what they are, you never forget them and the song means that much more to you and you never understand how you didnt recognize it initially. This song, and more specifically this performance made Eddie a legend.
It's also older millennial music. This is what we grew up listening to as we grew up. Sure, I was only 5 when this came out so I didn't understand it but it was the *sounds* I grew up on.
I was one year old when they released their first album, even though, I knew who they were during my teenage years, and my parents never listened to them, my parents were more into 60's to 80's songs. I can't believe it either that's still people who don't know Pearl Jam. And I'm Brazilian!
It still means a lot to us. It's so cutting every time we lose one of these people who meant so much. I was 18 when this came out. It was a real shock to me when kurt died, then as they continued to fall, from Michael hutchence, Shannon hoon, Layne, Scott, prince, Tom petty, Chris, Chester, even sinead, it's a real killer, knife in the heart. We have Billy Corgan, Eddie Vedder and Billy from Green day ... what the he'll? Robert plant mick jagger and Paul McCartney are here but our generations heroes are clocking out.

@@bec7080 seems so weird when you said you were 5! Just proves that this music moves everyone! ❤️
I've been in love with Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam since I was 13.
My late husband labeled PJ his all time favorite band.. we saw them in hamilton before he left this earth.. biggest greatest memory for me 😢
❤
They were my dad’s favourite of all time too. They were the first band I saw live (when I was 10) with him and we saw them again years later together. We played Just Breathe at his funeral in July.
I'm glad you got to share that with him. Know that in heaven they're appreciating his good taste in music!

I second this 😎

Absolutely!❤
100% yes!

This particular era of music was just a great time to be a young and upcoming fan of these bands.
Thank God I was part of it. Grunge was my high school and college years.
I’m 49 now and they’re all on my playlist. The greats.
That’s what I was thinking, how lucky I was to have music like this during my adolescence (47). It was ok to be different and heart broken. 💜
She's swooning for Eddie, he's such an amazing lyricist and his voice is so unique.
“And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass…”
Until I heard this song, I’d never had the words to describe the heartbreak of a relationship smashed to pieces. Thanks, Eddie! ❤❤❤
I can't imagine not knowing the music of Pearl Jam. The 90s certainly was a special time to be alive. One of the greatest concerts I have ever been to.
I can imagine it if you are completely not interested in music at all... I don't understand why this woman are making videos about artists she knows nothing about and clearly has no interest in... Like WHO is this analysis for? There are millions of people who have analysed PJ with lots more knowledge, insights and personality than her... its just arrogant to believe people are interested in watching what she has to say . So Gen-Z... to bring absolutely nothing of substance to the table, just your opinions and feelings and then make the whole world listen to it.. the most meaningless generation of all time... no contribution whatsoever...
The analysis is for choral people like myself. A Gen X woman who enjoys watching someone analyze the voice from a musically educated standpoint of one of my favorite singers.
Seen em twice in Sydney. Unbelievable.

Eddie Vedder is one of a kind, and frankly has one of my favorite voices of the last 30 years
It's so amazing to watch a critic and a analytical student of vocals to be taken in to the artist without pretense. This was what analysis of any discipline should look like. A very refreshing. Thanks for your objectivity and appreciation. I didn't learn about Pearl Jam until I was in my 70s

He's beyond awesome. Pearl Jam's songwriting and musicality is incredible. His voice is gorgeous, and so is he. :)
Probably the most intense performance of a song ever. I’m not a pearl jam fan in particular but you have to recognise brilliance when you see it

You can hear his emotions, that's what you get when you listen to Eddie Vedder. You hear the pain, the rawness. It's beautiful.
I know. EVERY time. I still get goosebumps and yes, sometimes cry, when I hear the the passion and pain from these earlier songs. I think their new album is going to be kick ass. Can’t wait‼️
I would describe Eddy's vocal texture here as "Primal".

Favorite front man & band of all time. You struggled defining his voice because he can't really be defined. He writes and sings from the deepest depths of his soul. After 30 years or so, I still get teary eyed during that "why can't it be mine" section. The pain is just so tangible.
Same 😢
"Favorite front man & band of all time"....surely you jest
❤❤❤
"I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky..."😢
I literally cried during that part and also after 30 years of listening. Incredible.
Their performance of Black and Porch on Unplugged changed the world.
no doubt about it, I'd argue state was the best performance of the night, wish it was as well known as those two.
I find great joy in watching someone else fall in love with the music, with Eddie, with PJ - with all the things that has made music like this the soundtrack of my life.
This time in rock and roll was so special because it disrupted mainstream music. Mainstream shifted from misogynistic party rock and campy love ballads thrown up by the over commercialized glam metal bands to this introspective, human examination and emotional struggle offered up by bands like Pearl Jam. And all of those unfamiliar nuances of a voice like Eddie's is an expression of the introspective emotional struggle that we all have tucked away. I think that's why we were swept away by it, we all can relate in some way. I love your discovery of this. Brilliant reaction.
Fun fact you should consider is Eddie didn’t actually want to release this song. It was so emotional for him when he wrote this he didn’t want it out there. So when you listen to it keep in mind the emotional aspects of things and how he uses his voice to project those emotions
This song is so important to millions of GenXers! Thank you

I've seen literally dozens of people reacting to this song for the first time, and only 1 has ever mentioned the fact that Eddie is doing this sitting down.
Strength and vulnerability at the same time… that is what makes him special… the rage from sadness is how most of us feel. That is why we relate to this band.

There were no reaction channels when bands like this came out but its a very cool thing seeing reactions to really good music from another time. Well done again 🙂
Sure, but it is really hard to accept she has never heard this before!
@@justincase3108 a vocal coach suggesting she has never heard one of the greatest singers from one of the greatest bands that has dozens of hits is just insulting.

Was lucky enough to see Pearl Jam at the height of their fame in Paris with a small crowd, still the greatest gig i have ever been to(and ive been stage crew for 30 year)...hundreds of gigs... IMO Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell and Layne Staley epitomised what was great about the grunge era....Great vocals with emotion.Was great to see someone getting excited about music that i grew up with ...peace...
I saw them in Feb 1992 at Rock City in Nottingham, UK. There was about 200 people and I got to high five Eddie!
Pinkpop '92 (with the famous dive of a camera pole), Paris '96 in le Zenith.
Sep 1993, Neil Young and Pearl Jam, Vancouver
I live in Seattle! The Underground! The Crocodile Cafe! The Colosseum! Bumpershoot! Candlebox, Lane Staley, Screaming Trees. Eddie lives in W. Seattle! 😍😍😍😍
I was lucky enough to know people at MTV. I was at this and Nirvana.
The drums are really the amazing flower that make this song ring. The highlights and trills on the cymbals and high hat are as dynamic as vedders voice with the drive of the snare. What an amazing group
Listening to Eddie Vedder is a spiritual experience everytime. ❤️
So jealous watching you get to experience Eddie for the first time. I’d give anything to hear him for the first time again. Life changing. (My first time hearing him was some 30 years ago and it’s been love ever since)
I’ve been to hundreds of Pearl Jam concerts from the mid 90s to today. Member of the 10 club, but what I love most about this song is, every time it’s played live when the best and most depressing verse is sang that 40,000 people belt it out and all 40,000 voices all have a different story and meaning behind what those lyrics meant
Such a great reaction Bethany! Such a raw and emotional song, sung by one of the greats of the 90s. Even more amazing to see you hear him for the first time. I'm especially fond of your remarking on appreciating his intensity, and talking about how that and the air pressure plays a big role in the production of his sound. Very much agree (although I am not as adept at analyzing voice as you). You mention the emotion, and not being sure if the voice is going to crack or begin crying. I can draw a parallel to LiSA, who I think has a natural gift when it comes to both perfection of vocal production, but then the ability to lose herself in her song, the intensity of it, and get carried away inside of it - a rare gift for a singer - and it is amazing to see perfection vs almost losing control come into play in a song. That's how you should sing an emotional song - intensely, at risk of losing control of your emotions. You reacted to LiSA's Gurenge on First Take and were impressed. I wonder if you might come back to her and check out her Homura on First Take. It's amazing to see the intensity and emotion build. There's CC for lyrics in English too: ua-cam.com/video/4Q9DWZLaY2U/v-deo.html Your reactions are among the best when it comes to vocals. I really appreciate it!
That intense part towards the end is truly epic. That is indeed Eddie maining those melodic sounds in there, although the backup singers were still there too. Amazing. I'd react to more Eddie Vedder, too...
thats a smooth way to recommend a song, well played
Eddie will always be one of the best vocalists of all time. ❤️

So amazing to watch someone discover this for the first time. One of the all time greatest live vocal performances.
Thats the thing about 90's grunge bands, most of the vocalists have such a unique style and tone. From Kurt, to Eddie, to Chris, to Lane. They are all amazing and have such heart in their music.
Sad that Eddie is the only one alive out of these 4 amazing singers!
@@alisonmaurhoff5234 extremely sad but true. Even Scott is dead too.

Layne. And as someone else said, Scott too.
@tiffanyaddie8360 Oh know. I FORGOT THE Y! Also, I was never really an STP fan. But, this is my opinion, and you're entitled to yours.
Vulnerable, that's exactly it. Eddie lays it all out there, and you can see his bandmates look at him with care and sometimes even concern, because he was so raw and exposed, and they knew it was emotionally exhausting to go that deep and to lay there stripped bare for all to see his pain... We all felt it.
20:35 and that’s why 90’s grunge will always be unmatched. It was truly the best era.
Hearing pear jam for the first time is special. Man the 90's were fun
There are not many songs that can make me cry. This is one of them. 😢
Every. Single. Time.
Omg yes. Breaks me
I remember hearing Eddie sing on the soundtrack to “into the wild” from another room while my roommates watched it and was hooked after 10seconds. Literally obsessed with him. What an amazing man.
I was in high school in the early 90s and I clearly remember and feel the dawn of grunge and coming into the scene via MTV. I grew up in a small Texas town and I was blown away by grunge, immediately fell in love. Singers like Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley/Jerry Cantrell, Chris Cornell, and other greats changed my life. Grunge takes me to another place, another time and I don’t want to come back to the now. Those of us who are a part of GenX and loved this genre will always, ALWAYS turn to this music. It allowed us to feel sad and angry and romantic all at the same time. I absolutely love this genre and Pearl Jam is one of the best.
Well said!! 😊🩷🤟✌️

Eddie's 58 years old and will be 59 in December 2023. 😊✌️
Eddie actually had a bad head cold at the time of this recording. Eddie put even more power into Jeremy from this same concert. Every song from this mtv unplugged shows why Eddie along with Chris Cornell and Layne Stayley were considered the greatest singers from this era. it is also interesting to see pearl jam live now and how eddie has had to adjust to not being able to hit some of the same notes 40 years later but still able to belt it out and blow away most singers 30 years younger than him.
@2:13 he's sings "how quick the sun can drop away" which is the 2nd verse. The first verse is supposed to be "I know she gave me all that she wore" you can tell he knows he muffed it when he shakes his head in the moment.
@brweeks881 the story is one of the reasons the song ends so emotionally was he was so pissed off the rest of the song that he flubbed that verse. Now it is considered one of their best ever live performances. Lol.
@@brweeks881 wow did not know this or catch this..thats so cool. Thanks for this tidbit!
@@Brett_Nebraska you're welcome!
Never knew that but I hear it now. Good trivia bit. That would make lesser artists stumble but he powered through and made something legendary and timeless.
This song captures so much emotion, so mamy different layers, and the most epic beautiful lyric "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, Im somebody else's sky...BUT WHYYY WHYYYY CANT IT BE, CANT BE MIiiiiiiNE 😢❤
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, why can’t it be mine That lyric gets me every time, you can just feel the heartbreak and loneliness pour out of his soul.
Pearl jam live is a different beast. Mr vedder really likes playing with his vocals live and it shows. He made an appearance on Howard stern a few years ago and u could see him doing fun things right then and there. He's a great vocalist.
