    Eddie said Black is about something he really felt and still feels every time he sings it. That’s why it’s so moving.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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...

    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 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.

    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.
