I won front row seats and backstage passes at a Pearl Jam concert (total wet dream!) . My mom was in her 70s and had never been to a concert. She always said, half jokingly, that she wanted to go to one. So I took her with me to see PJ. She didn’t know who they were. I told my dad I wasn’t sure she would like the concert. But she had a great time. A bunch of fans were around backstage and asked Eddie Vedder for his autograph, but his “people” pushed them away and said “no autographs.” My mom and I were sitting across the room. He saw my mom and came over. He said she must be Pearl Jam’s oldest fan. She told him the concert was wonderful and that he “did very well” (picture Southern grandma genuinely proud of you). He offered to give her an autograph, but she said it wouldn’t be fair to accept it with so many young fans that wanted one. She said she just wanted to shake his hand. When we got home, my father asked her how she liked the concert. She said “I’m never washing this hand again!”
@@laurawatters914 I was totally in love with Eddie and such a huge PJ fan! My mom had a way of charming the socks off of everyone she met. The way Eddie treated my mom just made me love him more. And she was a true Pearl Jam fan after that. As she would tell everyone, “They were such nice young men and very talented!” My mom was a hoot!
@@Y_.R that is such a lovely story, you two were very lucky to meet Eddie and I'm sure Eddie felt lucky meeting you two. I've been in love with Eddie and Pearl Jam since 1991 first album Ten. I was married and going through hard scary times and Pearl Jam helped me through a lot of it, anyways, thank you for sharing your story it's awesome!! 😊💓🤘✌️
@@PepeTheJonkler He turned towards spirituality and more towards Eastern way of living as he grew older, turning away from materialistic obsession. You can hear it in his music too later.
Chris,Layne and Kurt had all been in there bands before Eddie came to Seattle to start Pearl Jam..He is awesome though and every poste-grunge singer did try to sound like him..
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why, oh why, can't it be mine" is one of the most heartbreaking lyrics ever written and Eddie just completely sells it with his vocal performance.
You're one of the few in the reaction videos who actually listens to the lyrics and catch the most emotional part in the end (the sky thing). Well done. Great reaction!
30 years later I'm STILL crushing on this guy! Grunge came in fast and hard! It became a look. My daughter recently found some pictures of my friends and myself from the early 90's and just shook her head! Lol! They didn't age well. But if I'm being completely honest, I still have a couple of those worn out flannel shirts, you know, just in case! Lol. The 90's was an amazing time to be young!
This was my 1st time seeing you react. I only watched because of the song. Great reaction. I subscribed. Glad you checked out the lyrics, once you did, you nailed it. Looking forward to more of your reactions.
Pearl Jam.... my first love in music!! " Ten " is one of the best album ever.... not one bad song!!! their first time in Montréal was in a little arena for ice hockey. It was so hot at one point, that they take the fire hose of the building to cool down the crowd!!
@@TheJonasbz True, but they still put out some really good music for many records after than. Ten is easily a top 10 album of all time IMO. Every f'ing song is gold.
I was singing "legs spread out before me" for a solid 5 years in the 90's lol. Wasn't until I bought the cassette and read the lyrics that I knew what was actually said.
This song gets me teary eyed every time. Eddie Vedder is one of the few singers that Really makes you feel his feeling. This song is the sound of a heart shattering, to me. And unplugged only made it more stripped down and raw.
I was in a band and someone wanted us to play Pearl Jams "Yellow Ledbetter". I know it on guitar. The singer didn't know the lyrics. he knew the melody. I told him to just mumble. He did and no one knew the difference
As he should: "However, as Kim Neely points out in Five Against One, “Even the purportedly official lyrics were nonsensical… In fact, there never were any real lyrics. Eddie had simply improvised them during the one-take session, singing whatever phrases happened to pop into his head.”"
Even Eddie has said he doesn't really follow lyric to Yellow Ledbetter. At this point I just sing the misheard lyrics version when ever it comes on the radio. "Make me fries" 🤣
Pearl Jam another great band from my home town of Seattle. Eddie was and I would guess still a pretty great guy. Saw him a few times in a bar downtown and he would sit and talk to just about anyone as long as you didn't fan on him.
The free show "drop in the park" at Magnuson is arguably the greatest concert I ever attended. I went to a few Lollapaloozas and there's a secret Soundgarden show I saw but the scope of that show and what they did is up there. I guess I'm lucky I can have this debate in my head.
This man is a legend.. listen to Hunger strike with chris cornell on the beach.. I was 17. The meaning made a home in my heart, I was a bit deeper than than my friends at the time.. It irritated me it was lost in there puddles. I always love the deep end .. great reactions as always sweet girl!❤✌
Eddie Vedder is the poster child for sensitive, smoldering sexiness…yep he deserves to go straight to the knight’s table with “The King”. Others have mentioned their song “Jeremy”. The official uncut video was controversial at the time and continues to be difficult to watch but was a very important statement in art form for events during that time period. And unfortunately current times as well. Fabulous insightful reaction as usual, thanks!
I feel so privileged to have grown up in the 90's and been able to absorb the grunge, the rap, the hip-hop, (yes, even the country) music that came from that era. It was so authentic and I listen to it on repeat every day. Thank you for the reaction!
As a metalhead I must admit Eddie Vedder's voice is the best in rock, rap, country, or any other genre. If you like a good story song you must check out Jeremy. Especially the uncut video. You might not like how the story ends. But it's one helluva story.
@@TheeAmethystEmpress6589 There's not many videos that left me speechless. Mainly because I've got a big mouth. 🤣🤣But Jeremy and Hurt by Johnny Cash just knocked me over.
People always request songs from 10. Immortality, Indifference and Off he Goes never get mentioned because 10 Is the only record people know of because of radio.
As a fellow metalhead, I must disagree because of the existence (at the time) of Chris Cornell... but let me say, the two of them together in Temple of the Dog was magical.
He did the song live a few years ago, shortly after the passing of fellow singer and good friend, Chris Cornell. The whole crowd joins in, and he breaks down during "come back". He's the last of the Seattle Powerhouse of the '90s. We lost Kurt. And then we lost Layne. Scott, and then Chris. It's a lot to hold emotionally.
My uncle was in Nashville for his birthday last week and ran into Eddie Vedder in a record store. I'm so jealous he got to meet him. Great reaction! I agree 10,000% he's in the panty-dropping club. I think Eddie is a founding member of the club 😊
I love reaction videos like this, because you genuinely feel you are sitting with the person while they experience it. Plus, the fact you took interest in the lyrics and took a deep dive into them while listening is great. "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, can't it be mine?" is one of the most retro-romantic and melancholic lines ever written. Subscribed. :-)
I've always been proud of the music that's come out of my home state of Washington. 90s grunge is a whole mood! Nirvana, Peral Jam, Alice in Chains, to name a few, oh and Jimi Hendrix. Sending all the good vibes from Washington state ❤️
He is one of the most genuinely nice guys on the planet, and is always fighting for the little guy. He was actually sick while recording this Live set, and he powered through for the fans.
I'm happy you are reacting to a variety of music and genre's. Another great Grunge band from the 90's is Soundgarden with vocalist Chris Cornell. After Soundgarden Chris also had a band Audioslave and then teamed up with the members of Pearl Jam to form the band Temple of the Dog for a one of a kind album. Chris also had an amazing solo career before his demise. I hope you check out the vocal range of Chris Cornell's voice.
@brittreacts you mentioned 90's movies. They were in the 91 film Singles. Provided 2 songs for the soundtrack. State of Love and Trust and Breath. Eddie's voice evolves out of what you heard, and they are still putting out albums today. I'll make a donation to you for one of my favorite live performances if you tell me where I can do that.
This is a true story, and tells the tale of how Eddie felt when his "first love" left him. Even today, he says the lyrics return him to how he felt at the time.
Nostalgia overload with this one hun, the ultimate breakup song 💔😭 Chris Cornell’s “Fell on Black Days” is another tear jerker 😢 Couldn’t listen to it again for almost 2 years after he passed away 😔
As a 30 year card carrying member of the Grunge Era I’m glad you’re getting to witness the era of music that was the embodiment of my teenage angst back in the 90s when I was 16. Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Temple of the Dog all are amazing and killed it on MTV Unplugged. Eddie unfortunately is the only frontman still alive. But I’m glad to see younger folks ~hearing them masterful music off my era.
@@amberbucknall3072 I do like Clapton but not sure what that’s got to do with Grunge. If I’m missing something please I’m always down to learn new things about my music.
“I know one day you will have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star in someone else’s sky but why can’t it be mine” One of my favorite lines in any song. Super relatable and is pain perfectly worded.
He is a master lyricist. I highly recommend Yellow Ledbetter, Better Man, Wishlist, Porch, Alive, Man of the Hour and Jeremy official video. And his song with Chris Cornell Hunger Strike is amazing 👏🏼
@@blairbeveridge5745 she literally listed a Temple of the Dog song in her comment... Whilst also commending Eddie's lyrics by starting with a song that doesn't actually have official lyrics... Although she isn't wrong
Yeah that star in somebody else's sky lyric just hits home. We've all been there, I think. Lamenting a love lost and bemoaning it. Some of us are mature enough to know that it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all but most of us, like Eddie Vedder, just feel bitter as it becomes a black hole sun. Anyway, it's one of the bestest/most poetic lines in the history of pop music (in my opine) because it's so ripe for interpretation. This version is better than the album track, btw. So thanks for tuning to it. Cheers, Britt
Since you love acoustic live performances may be the most powerful ever is Nirvanas's "where did you sleep last night" on their unplugged concert which is why Pearl Jam did one.
He was fighting a wicked cold during this performance, too. He powered through it. Listen to the studio version. You'll be even more impressed. Eddie is truly The King of Grunge.
Eddie Vedder has a very distinctive voice and this has always been one of my favourite songs. If you are looking for others in the same genre then I would strongly recommend Chris Cornell - Billie Jean, Nothing Compares to You, or just about any song from any group he performed with. Chris was a one of a kind talent that helped shape the music of an era.
Great choice! I've been doing this song in every band since college. I love how people always sing along when we play it. It's my vocal range, so it doesn't kill my voice as much as other songs. I still sing it, but an acoustic version. Eddie Vedder started this sound and Pearl Jam are way more legendary and talented than Nirvana. Listen to Jeremy when you get a chance. I auditioned on the Voice with that song. I lost a bet and that was my friends request. 😬 Have a good one! Slainte
You say slainte but where's the craic? Anyway, I played drums in a Pearl Jam cover band for a minute but our lead singer was female and it just didn't work. We thought going from Eddie's baritone to a more dynamic vocal would hit but... it didn't.
I was in my early 20s when this episode of MTV Unplugged came out and I was completely ensconced in all things Seattle. My girlfriend at the time wasn't real familiar with Pearl Jam and I still remember her saying "I don't know who he's singing about but I hate her" after watching this performance. This performance is certainly worthy of your Pantie Dropping HOF and IMO one of the best live performances ever. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I know this has been posted for a while, but when I saw it, I just had to click on it. This particular song, and Eddie's voice reminds me of every bad break up I've ever experienced. His voice holds all the feelings I had, and it's just everything. He is everything. I love Pearl Jam so much I influenced my daughter to be a lifelong fan of them. Eddie Vedder definitely belongs in the PDC, no question about it!
There have been 2 times in my life I REALLY needed someone, and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder was there both times. This song, when my first wife left me, and “Breathe” when my newborn son quit breathing and spent 5 weeks in NICU. I will ALWAYS be a fan
Feeling nostalgic so glad I found your channel. He sounds the same today. He’s the only great lyrical poets left of the grunge era since Chris passed in 2017.
"I'm pulling up the lyrics because I have some questions..." Everyone with every Pearl Jam song ever. Yellow Ledbetter is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with Pearl Jam. They are THE quintessential 90s rock band. Panty Droppers Club indeed. Eddie Vedder is phenomenal. Other than Yellow Ledbetter, some other great Pearl Jam songs: Jeremy Alive Better Man Even Flow Daughter Dissident "I know some day 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, can't it be mine?" One of my favorite lyrics ever.
This is probably Eddie Vedder’s (singer) most vulnerable song he ever wrote. It’s about his ex wife Beth after she divorced him. Eddie was working at a gas station in San Diego and he got the demo and wrote this “Black”.
"I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky. why can't it be mine?" The line best line of unrequited love ever and written by an 18-year old for his audition tape
Eddie Vedder definitely has that brooding artist vibe. It's a really attractive quality. This song reminds me a lot of "Creep", capturing that first love angst.

Completely agree. "Pearl Jam Reaction" is probably my most-often searched phrase in UA-cam

This sounds like the 90s because everyone in the 90s tried to sound like him.

Very much like that.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Your mother is a very fair and thoughtful person
you may not realize but that 90s "R" sound you mention was created by this dude. Eddie Vedder is still going strong today. Great band, great music.
One of the only remaining singers from the Seattle grunge scene. Drugs are such an evil thing.
@@PepeTheJonkler yup and alcohol too.... he almost fallow the same path.
@@PepeTheJonkler He turned towards spirituality and more towards Eastern way of living as he grew older, turning away from materialistic obsession. You can hear it in his music too later.
Wrap Eddie in bubble wrap, stat!

Preach, brother, preach!!!
My favorite part!
I've always thought that.
The crazy part is he was singing during this while he was sick. He had a severe cold but still did this show. Eddie is the man!
Yeah, you can hear it and where he's compensating for it. Still sounds great, though.
You're one of the few in the reaction videos who actually listens to the lyrics and catch the most emotional part in the end (the sky thing). Well done. Great reaction!
Thank you so much!! Have the day you deserve! ❤️
I’ve noticed that too and I love it ❤
She should have heard the actual track first.
Very wise to read lyrics.. His voice gives me chills on chills..
haha thank you
No one understands what he says, and I am from Seattle.

Pearl Jam.... my first love in music!!
" Ten " is one of the best album ever.... not one bad song!!!

No matter how many times I hear this song I can't help but tear up, especially this version. I've been there.
I was singing "legs spread out before me" for a solid 5 years in the 90's lol. Wasn't until I bought the cassette and read the lyrics that I knew what was actually said.
😂
I love these Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder reaction videos because you can see the exact moment that the reactors life changed forever.
Exactly what I do. Lol. I can't believe how many of them haven't heard of Vedder and Pearl Jam.
This song gets me teary eyed every time. Eddie Vedder is one of the few singers that Really makes you feel his feeling. This song is the sound of a heart shattering, to me. And unplugged only made it more stripped down and raw.
Straight up one of the most beautiful songs ever written
This is an example of how raw emotion can enhance a performance.
I was in a band and someone wanted us to play Pearl Jams "Yellow Ledbetter". I know it on guitar. The singer didn't know the lyrics. he knew the melody. I told him to just mumble. He did and no one knew the difference
As he should:
"However, as Kim Neely points out in Five Against One, “Even the purportedly official lyrics were nonsensical… In fact, there never were any real lyrics. Eddie had simply improvised them during the one-take session, singing whatever phrases happened to pop into his head.”"
This is 100% believable haha
That's awesome.
I refer to the tune as "Yellow Bedwetter."
The misheard lyrics for "Yellow Ledbetter" is spot on.
Even Eddie has said he doesn't really follow lyric to Yellow Ledbetter. At this point I just sing the misheard lyrics version when ever it comes on the radio. "Make me fries" 🤣
I consider this THE BEST love lost song EVER. The lyrics are amazing and Eddie's voice is second to none.
My favorite song and live performance ever. You can feel his raw pain and emotion 💔. Goosebumps still.
Every time I listen.
Pearl Jam another great band from my home town of Seattle. Eddie was and I would guess still a pretty great guy. Saw him a few times in a bar downtown and he would sit and talk to just about anyone as long as you didn't fan on him.

Im With you ❤
@@michaelthessen9480 I still rock all of them including the Unplugged albums
Don’t forget Eric Clapton ❤
@@amberbucknall3072 I do like Clapton but not sure what that’s got to do with Grunge. If I’m missing something please I’m always down to learn new things about my music.
@@seandobson6221 I just realised I forgot to put on the unplugged
“I know one day you will have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star in someone else’s sky but why can’t it be mine” One of my favorite lines in any song. Super relatable and is pain perfectly worded.
He is a master lyricist. I highly recommend Yellow Ledbetter, Better Man, Wishlist, Porch, Alive, Man of the Hour and Jeremy official video. And his song with Chris Cornell Hunger Strike is amazing 👏🏼
check out , "temple of the dog". A masterpiece of grunge. RIP Chris. an absolute god of rock and soul.🤘
@@blairbeveridge5745 Love that band! Can't hear Say Hello To Heaven without tearing up..
@@blairbeveridge5745 she literally listed a Temple of the Dog song in her comment...
Whilst also commending Eddie's lyrics by starting with a song that doesn't actually have official lyrics...
Although she isn't wrong
Man of the Hour is such a beautiful beautiful tribute to a life. makes me cry every time
@@maddiesanabria5047 I so agree! I loved that they used it in Big Fish because it was so fitting 👏🏼😥
Even flow!!😊
GF you may enjoy their video Jeremy, took on a major social issue, fantastic piece of art, he's super intense!
The pantie dropping line had me rolling.
Thank you for that laugh.
Yeah that star in somebody else's sky lyric just hits home. We've all been there, I think. Lamenting a love lost and bemoaning it. Some of us are mature enough to know that it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all but most of us, like Eddie Vedder, just feel bitter as it becomes a black hole sun.
Anyway, it's one of the bestest/most poetic lines in the history of pop music (in my opine) because it's so ripe for interpretation.
This version is better than the album track, btw. So thanks for tuning to it. Cheers, Britt
Definitely in "the club"!!
Since you love acoustic live performances may be the most powerful ever is Nirvanas's "where did you sleep last night" on their unplugged concert which is why Pearl Jam did one.
Good song, nice reaction. That might be the most keywords I have ever seen in a description.
lol, "did he say legs spread out before me?" wow, did i laugh. subscribed immediately
The great Eddie Vedder. More Pearl Jam please.
Eddie Vedder. The frustrated, agitated, designated alienated spokesman for the disaffected Grunge generation.
This is the best analysis I have ever heard about this song. Great job Britt!
He was fighting a wicked cold during this performance, too. He powered through it.
Listen to the studio version. You'll be even more impressed.
Eddie is truly The King of Grunge.
Thank you for paying tribute to this band. Pearl Jam is awesome and Eddie's voice is incredible. Keep up the great content
Eddie Vedder has a very distinctive voice and this has always been one of my favourite songs. If you are looking for others in the same genre then I would strongly recommend Chris Cornell - Billie Jean, Nothing Compares to You, or just about any song from any group he performed with.
Chris was a one of a kind talent that helped shape the music of an era.
Last kiss is how I discovered Pearl Jam as a young teen. That song moved me.
Yes Eddie Vedder is a total party dropper. My top musician crush of the 90s
Great choice! I've been doing this song in every band since college. I love how people always sing along when we play it. It's my vocal range, so it doesn't kill my voice as much as other songs. I still sing it, but an acoustic version. Eddie Vedder started this sound and Pearl Jam are way more legendary and talented than Nirvana. Listen to Jeremy when you get a chance. I auditioned on the Voice with that song. I lost a bet and that was my friends request. 😬 Have a good one! Slainte
btw every singer sang this song in the 90's! Not unique for to me! 😆
You say slainte but where's the craic? Anyway, I played drums in a Pearl Jam cover band for a minute but our lead singer was female and it just didn't work. We thought going from Eddie's baritone to a more dynamic vocal would hit but... it didn't.
Nice reaction. Greetings from Salta, Argentina. This song hits deep every time I listen to it.
Great reaction! If you want another panty-dropping singer you should definitely check out Chino Moreno from the group Deftones.
haha thank you
your reactions are always so great, fun, and authentic. make sure and listen to the regular album version of this song.
I was in my early 20s when this episode of MTV Unplugged came out and I was completely ensconced in all things Seattle. My girlfriend at the time wasn't real familiar with Pearl Jam and I still remember her saying "I don't know who he's singing about but I hate her" after watching this performance. This performance is certainly worthy of your Pantie Dropping HOF and IMO one of the best live performances ever. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I know this has been posted for a while, but when I saw it, I just had to click on it. This particular song, and Eddie's voice reminds me of every bad break up I've ever experienced. His voice holds all the feelings I had, and it's just everything. He is everything. I love Pearl Jam so much I influenced my daughter to be a lifelong fan of them. Eddie Vedder definitely belongs in the PDC, no question about it!
There have been 2 times in my life I REALLY needed someone, and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder was there both times. This song, when my first wife left me, and “Breathe” when my newborn son quit breathing and spent 5 weeks in NICU. I will ALWAYS be a fan
I’ve listened to this song for 30 years and your video taught me the lyrics 😅 legs spread out.. 100%, right!?!
Damn right.
He drop all that.
And you dope for recognizing him as dope.
Shit is dope
Word Is bond
Eddie Vedder is a crooner and a damn good one he def belongs in PDC
I remember this song coming on at work the morning after the end of a very long relationship. I was in tears uncontrollably.
Memories of high school enter my mind when I hear any Pearl Jam songs! So good!
Eddie Vedder is a beautiful soul. This song has ALWAYS been my favorite and holds a strong connection with my life.
Of all the reactions I've seen to this song, you seem to get it the best.👏👏
The "we belong together" added part always got me.
Feeling nostalgic so glad I found your channel. He sounds the same today. He’s the only great lyrical poets left of the grunge era since Chris passed in 2017.
I saw them live in the smallest venue in Sweden, was wonderful ,early 1990. Alive was the first song. You should do that one.
You are one the best interpretation of lyrics. I love the song since 95 an im Mexican. Great channel. Sober by Tool
Sooo glad you pulled up the lyrics because he changed them up a little from the studio version.
"I'm pulling up the lyrics because I have some questions..." Everyone with every Pearl Jam song ever. Yellow Ledbetter is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with Pearl Jam. They are THE quintessential 90s rock band. Panty Droppers Club indeed. Eddie Vedder is phenomenal.
Other than Yellow Ledbetter, some other great Pearl Jam songs:
Jeremy
Alive
Better Man
Even Flow
Daughter
Dissident
"I know some day 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, can't it be mine?" One of my favorite lyrics ever.
This is probably Eddie Vedder’s (singer) most vulnerable song he ever wrote. It’s about his ex wife Beth after she divorced him. Eddie was working at a gas station in San Diego and he got the demo and wrote this “Black”.
"I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star, in somebody else's sky. why can't it be mine?" The line best line of unrequited love ever and written by an 18-year old for his audition tape
Eddie Vedder definitely has that brooding artist vibe. It's a really attractive quality. This song reminds me a lot of "Creep", capturing that first love angst.
1:37 the 90's didn't mold Eddie Vedder. Eddie Vedder shaped the 90's.
I am so fascinated watching someone discover the music and comedy I grew up on.
