Attention to detail! Love it, Thankyou! PJ is so young an unpredictable, and, they wouldn't have known (couldn't have known) of all the fame and success that would come, in fact soon after this, I'm quite sure. Such down to earth, fun performers here! Cheers! 🥂
It was nine months after this performance, my sister's friend's room would catch on fire, resulting in a one-week stay at our house while her room was being renovated. She was in our backyard, suntanning by the diving board with a walkman. I was on my way into the pool and asked her what she was listening to. It was Alive. I was twelve years old, and most of the music I had heard to this point was oldies and pop. I will never forget that moment and how immediately I knew I forever loved this band. Neither did anyone else in my family. I was obsessed. By my junior year, I had twenty CDs, including singles I bought for B-sides, bootlegs, soundtracks, and anything else that had anything from Pearl Jam that I hadn't found elsewhere. Today, I am an elementary school teacher, musician, and vocalist. My band plays their songs. I have reconnected with childhood friends at PJ concerts. They have played such a huge role over the course of my life, yet when I hear this live recording, all of it goes away, and I am just a twelve-year-old boy standing by my pool, falling in love with his favorite band for the first time, and not realizing how much he would miss those days.
Ya know what is funny about your comment? In so many videos of live concert footage you will see countless comments complaining about how so many people are filming with their phones and how "better shows used to be before cell phones". But if it wasn't for cell phones we wouldn't have most of the videos we have today to enjoy. So it becomes ironic when you see people make comments like that on some of these youtube vids. Yes I realize this was not a cell phone video.. Just saying though.
@@shonuff4323 exactly!!! I agree with you. If it wasn't for people "on their phones filming" or "watching the show through a camera" we wouldn't have these great gems today!!! I've seen both complaints here on UA-cam..
Say what you want, but you get funniest comment award. I was laughing at his movements, but you nailed it.God I can't stop laughing. I want to edit in someone throwing buckets of water on him
“This sounds kinda cool. Is it? I wonder if it’s ok to like it. Do my friends like it? Who’s watching? Will they laugh at me if I rock out to these guys? *Looks around* There, that guy over there, he looks cool, he’s obviously digging the band. No one’s making fun of him. Maybe it’s ok for me to like these guys...”
@Matias142 Yes. That's what i'm saying. I've been saying it for years but no one listens. Nirvana sucks. Pearl Jam sucks. Mother Love Bone is good and Foo Fighters are good. Finally, someone with some sense. At what point do we hug?
I'm 52 and i still love them too. I Remember my joy when i had Ten in my hands... I loved Pearl Jam from their beginnings til now. But these days were magic...that concert,Eddie so shy but Happy to be there on stage singing and taking pictures of his crowd... Young Eddie was my love boy! I'm so happy he Is still with us! He was a Little crazy on stage! A Little monkey,i said...but i loved him so much and still do. I love his voice! I love all about him and i love Pearl Jam music. Even if i listen black metal now and orher tipe of bands,i love Pearl Jam!
Awesome show!!! Random story, but I actually met Eddie once at the Tractor Tavern. Back in the early 2000's, when Seattle was still pretty chill, Matt Chamberlain & Matt Cameron were playing jazz sets and when I went to get a drink, I saw a bar tab with VEDDER written in big bold letters! Shocked, I quickly paid his balance to get it & at closing time ran into him & told him I got his drinks. I showed him the tab & he ended up drawing a little wine bottle on it! Hah! Signed it "thanks for the drinks" - one of my favorite pieces of memorabilia to this day. He was super chill & incredibly friendly & we shot the sht a little about music... I know, kinda lame asking for an autograph, but what can u do, too cool to pass up. Very sweet guy.
These were the fucking days. I feel truly lucky that I was 21 in 1991 and in the prime of my youth during these days. No cell phones, no social media trolling us for likes, no distractions. Just real life with no regrets. This was the truly last great decade.
Between 1974 and 1979 (8th-12th grade) I attended approximately 70 concerts in Philly - we didn’t have computer games, the WWW (Internet), Social Media and other mindless distractions to waste our time on.
It still amazes me that the people had epic front row seats to legendary hits before they were famous, but they hardly reacted because they weren't famous yet. It's like people really do need to follow popularity before fully appreciating something.
“Dude did you get all of that? Can I get your address?” As if there is a more poignant last word on this.... Thank you for recording this on a giant camcorder in 1991 Dude, you rule.✌️❤️
Shout out to all the people trying to pass the time during COVID by revisiting some of the better times in life! It all flew by so fast! These old shows are medicine for the soul! ❤
I can’t watch this enough. Been coming back to it for about 8 years to re-watch! Lol. I love it at the end…”hey man, you get all that? What’s your address?!” Lmao!
Interesting...the crowd doesn’t realize how big this band would be...I saw them at the polo ground in SF a few years after this..94 maybe..100,000 people..Neil Young opened
The only thing that kinda ruins the audio is the camera but you can literally hear eddie's voice be the same and there clean playing ! \m/ this is called music,art and talent
Eddie was 26 and I was 28. Although sometimes Eddie looked about 15 as he had a real baby face there for a while. But to me he as just gorgeous and still is 😍🎸
I filmed this with a clunky camcorder yes- and at the end I caught a cassette eddie threw out while still filming! early promo tape with "Ive got a feeling" and 3 others. I was already way into this band. I also went to the shows where they did the filming for promo video's: Alive at rkcndy, and Evenflow at moore theatre. I ran a recording studio at the music bank, where Alice n' Chains started out, so I was in the loop with Soundgarden also in the early daze at NAF productions.....cool memories- Seattle was a hotbed of talent!
Saw them with Sound Garden, 1992 in Dallas. I'd never heard of them. Was told I NEEDED to see this band. Never, and I mean never ever have I ever never been so floored by a new band then when it came to Pearl Jam. Ten is a perfect album. Every song is good. Even the ones bastardized on the radio are still worth listening to.
The House that Jack Built This was 4 days before the release of Ten. MTV had not played any of their videos yet and they were unknown to 99.9% of the world.
I live in Seattle.Grew up with some of these guys. This is very special to me.Im still here in 2020 wondering what happened to this world I used to love..............
As the guy said at the end: UNREAL. These were the best times and the best music. Just some random surfer guy with duct taped, torn shorts and a t-shirt, a messy mane and a powerful voice, jamming with super talented friends, casually checking his watch at 37:17, climbing up to get a better view, enjoying himself, playing games with an adoring crowd. No strobes, no smoke, no fancy clothes and no stage design, just raw talent, pure energy, and awesome music. 90's were the best ever.
"Ten" is a perfect album and one of the best rock albums ever recorded. I know that the album hadn't been released yet, but I'm still surprised by how dead this crowd was. The first time I heard Ten I knew I was listening to something special.
Context is everything. This was a brand new sound during a time when hair metal was still dominating the radio. The crowd was probably still trying to figure out what they were hearing. On the other hand, it may be because this is in Seattle. As a gen exer who lives in Seattle and lived here during the late 80s and early 90s, we knew of Nirvana AIC, Sound Garden and Pearl Jam already and would hear them at music stores and college radio all the time. The crowd may just have heard these guys a million times before and the novelty may have worn off.
I still can't believe that I was there for this. A moment in History for this band. I think they were still calling themselves Mookie Blaylock. That was a great day. I also remember seeing Candlebox this year at Pain in the Grass. Every Friday my Old Man and I would head to these shows.
awesome is a word that is used far too much but I must say that is pretty awesome to read and the fact that you and your Dad did that I'm sure is a lasting memory
This is an amazing piece of history. Cant believe the quality of this for 1991. This must have been pretty hard to film as well as it was. I remember the size of camcorders in the early 90's and it did not take long to get tired of holding the thing up. To whomever filmed and to whomever posted this THANK YOU!!
I am so thankful that I was in my prime during that Grunge days!! I was a sophomore when nirvana broke and my God when the flood doors opened the music that cane from it was unbelievable!! I just watched a concert the other night of 7 year bitch and Eddie Veddrr was in tne crowd for the show!! I Remember following PJ from Minnesota to Wisconsin then to Chicago and finally Kansas city!! I quit my job or more accurately got Fired!! Hitch hiked to Kansas city with some random people I met on the Lawn at Alpine Valley to see PJ. I ended up stranded in Kansas city. I spent alot of money illegal concessions which left me broke!! I wish my kids could experience a music sceen like this!! It was such a amazing in music history!
Mila watching this I was thinking how much better Nirvana was than Pearl Jam. Nirvana could get a crowd rolling, and no one really knew nirvana until 1992
@@ValisX maybe this was just a casual crowd? Pre 1992, there were fangroups of nirvana already following from the punk underground. Pearl jam, in itself as a band, was very young in touring and performing right before Ten.
to the camera man... you sir are a goat. thank you for this! and The zoom in at 27:10 ...you knew the emotion that needed to be captured. goosebumps!!! also I went to the PJ exhibit at the Mopop yesterday and was severely disappointed that this video wasn't being played! you captured a moment in time! thank you for sharing!!!!!!
What a great time in history. Grunge was about to explode. Linux would be introduced to the world two days after this. The first website went live 17 days earlier.
Coolest thing to me is the fact that nobody freaked out when he asked that. Because he wanted to maybe get a copy and connect over their shared experience. Today that would be considered creepy and people might give you their email address because it would keep you from actually contacting them in real life.
Manifesting Destiny ♥️and if we could go back in time and be able to say....dude, one day there will be a platform we can all put our videos for others to view🤯
I needed this BAD! I've been a little down after turning the big 50 but this makes me very much appreciate the gift my 90's youth was. This music feeds my soul today every bit as much as it did when I was thoroughly baptised in it in its infancy. As great as it would be to be young I would never trade for growing up without that constant flood of awesome soulful music that was the 90's, and such a huge part of my youth, let alone suffer the mind numbing garbage my children's generation is contributing. So many of my best memories and greatest experiences are recalled through song from the greatest musical era and I can't imagine my kids having that future privilege considering their musical inventory. Thank you for the perspective!
Happy 50th Roger. A milestone indeed bro, but the entrance to a much more, relaxed, non-plastic pathway that Im sure you will enjoy, and it gets even better after a while. ( im 54 now, life is good, much more organic). Peace 😉
Happy B-day brother. I hear ya though. I always head for some good old 90's music, especially PJ, when I get in the gutter. And it's like massaging the soul. Peace!
Roger Bivins Happy belated Birthday man! I was into the heavy metal and glam rock at this stage when grunge came into effect. Looking back on it, it was much needed by the influx of garbage copying bands like Motley Crue and Poison. Granted they didn’t have the soul and emotion grunge does but it was fun nonetheless. Of course I hated grunge just because of the extreme change it caused among the music I loved at the time but deep down, I loved (and still do) these guys along with Alice In Chains, Mad Season, Soundgarden & so on. Now at the age of 45, these guys have more of a soundtrack for me to some awesome memories of this time. As I get older, I appreciate this era so much more rather than the crap I listened to at the time. It’s a shame what the industry has become today and feel really sad kids will never know what we experienced & the impact it had on our lives.
Anybody else totally fascinated by the kid in the front row (Pistons hat) who keeps jerking his head and flipping his pony tail every 3 seconds for THE ENTIRE SHOW!?!?! Amazing footage by the way. I’m so thankful this video exists. Glad I found it. Thank you to whoever posted it.
One of my favorite lead singers/bands on this planet. Really moved me during and angry time in history. Amazing... Just think 4 days later there's and our lives would change for ever on! Then the World heard EvenFlow for the first time...
Dave was with them in their most important years and historic moments and for that he gets shunned by the band and not invited to the Rock and Roll HOF induction. I love old PJ but FUCK them for dissing him like that.
I remember this show like yesterday. I had just moved into an apartment on lower Queen Ann, 1st & John. I graduated college in mid-may in '91, boogied to Europe for 3 weeks before running up to Bristol Bay, Ak to work the summer salmon fishery then came home to hear about Mookie Blaylock and see my first PJ show. What a fuckin' welcome home. To be able to walk across the street and see this show... Fuck. My Seattle of 1991 is so long gone but my memories stick, what a show!
Seattle grunge 101. Andy Wood = mother love bone. Andy (biggest Seattle talent ever) was lead vocal w MLB, when he died a terribly young death. MLB fractured after our sweet Andy's passing. Pearl Jam, guys from MLB reincarnated w/ Ed Vedder on vocal, played their first few shows under the pseudonym, "Mookie Blalock." Mookie Blaylock was a short, scrappy player in American NBA. Andy loved to play basketball. He loved the Dallas Cowboys too, fuckin trader...Andrew Wood is alive and living well.
Love this memory ! Thanks for sharing that ... I was 20 at that time !!!! Seems like a million years ago, yet almost like yesterday in the same breath ...
What a band. With all due respect to those that joined Pearl Jam later? THIS was the band. Great job on filming with an 8lb shoe box video camera on your shoulder! Their concert in Holland in '92' not long after this was like listening to Ten on steroids. Thank you for posting. What a band!
44:22 = ::swoon:: That hair. That smile. Those eyes. Suddenly I’m that 16 year old girl who though Eddie was so, so dreamy. God bless the 90’s. (And crowdsurfing vocalists.)
I was 17 yrs old when I first saw PEARL JAM “ALIVE” on MTV I was forever changed captivated by Eddies energy along with that song was meaningful . The album TEN is the only greatest album they’ve ever made in their lifetime. Epic legends!
28 plus years later, and they're still ALIVE!!! Not as many demons as Nirvana had or the tragedy that came over AIC or STP... I grew and aged with them! TEN forever changed me as an individual and I'm so BLESSED to make this journey with them aside me, wherever I go! Just imagine those guys in front of that tiny stage, imagine the concert they had a year later called Drop in the park, after their first world tour... So many AWESOME moments! Thanks PJ! Mookey was a great player too!👍
Just seeing this is incredible, I was born in 92' yet this genre still inspires me as a musician and as an audio Engineer.Thank you forever Pearl Jam!!!!
AWESOMENESS on an EPIC scale! What a video!!! Thank you SO MUCH to whoever recorded this! NOTHING touches classic Pearl Jam! Look at that wild exuberant energy and 'fuck you' attitude! Stunning stuff! Inspirational really......
He’s great, but Stone and Jeff’s guitar and bass were a huge part, and the band that they were in before this, Mother Love Bone, was going to be huge and everyone in the music business knew it. Check out their album if you want to hear more great Stone Gossard guitar playing.
I saw SG in 91 with GnR they blew GnR off the stage. I had no idea who they were, I was at a party before the show and someone had a copy of Badmotorfinger which came out like a month or 2 earlier.
Watching this, brought me back to the 90's... I was 24 when this took place. I actually had some old feelings come back for a sec... this was seriously the absolute best time period of my life!!! The music was fresh and exciting!!!✌😁
What an Early Peice Of R & R History !! This crowd had "No Idea" what was going to be released 4 days later... 10 !! True Peice Of History Right Here Folks ! Thanks For Sharing......
All I kept thinking while watching this was that these guys had absolutely no idea what was about to hit them, and that 25 years later they would still be playing sold out shows.
Wardo Melena Actually very few. They still tour yearly and sell out each venue, including four nights at stadiums last year alone. Very few can also say that albums 5-7 were just as good, if not better, than 1-3.
Wardo Melena Wow! Not so much. I was in a band, in Seattle, at that time, and you've never heard of us. If ever there was a time and place to make it, that was it but.... a couple gigs and it was over. Truth told we weren't nearly as good, passionate or dedicated as these guys were. It doesn't just take talent, it also takes relentless pursuit and desire. Now if you meant that, of all the bands that make it, they don't know what's about to hit them until it does, then I get it.
Almost 30 years old already! And so much water under the bridge since then.... from TEN to GIGATON and so much outstanding music in between- Pearl Jam, the KINGS of Grunge!! They left too many corpses in their wake as they continue to, “Keep on rockin’ in the free world!” ~ K.
Wow!! I found this video by chance today, August 23, 2019, this concert was exactly 28 years ago, my age right now... It's amazing, I love Pearl Jam so much, I don't identify with the bands of my generation.
Glad to hear that. It means you have a soul. The vast, vast majority of $#!+ today is hollow... devoid of substance, and focus-grouped to death. Autotune? Not pre-2000.
@Veran Dass I heard something, but it was poorly worded. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with my opinion? Oh, wait. I don't care. The music today is garbage.
I don't know how many times I have watched this, but I. So grateful to the man that stood there and videoing it for us all to still enjoy to this day 🙏🏻🥰🤘🏻🤙🏻
I saw them for the third time last week (1996, 2014, 2022) and the amazing thing is, that they are acting on the stage the same way as they did pretty much from the get go. Just like Pallas Athene.

33:46. oh ahaha!
It’s because the music is powerful he can barely withstand performing in it
And he’s soooo fuckin HOT!! A need a cig after just looking at him! ❤️
I bet he had a bad headache after each show.
Nobody talks about Garden, but this track is a killer one, freaking perfect song

Freddy K ! You got all that. Can I get your address?? Thank you for getting all this.
Thank you thank you thank you Freddy P, beautiful stuff.
Thank you!
this is an amazing piece of music history. thank you so much for sharing this
You're not ready for this but your kids are gonna dig it!
Back to the Future line...
@@kc8639 you get it!
So did everyone else!!
@@StONed-mb1iv Nice reference!
I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet...
I gotcha, there.............. YESSS!!!!!!
Saw them with Sound Garden, 1992 in Dallas. I'd never heard of them. Was told I NEEDED to see this band. Never, and I mean never ever have I ever never been so floored by a new band then when it came to Pearl Jam. Ten is a perfect album. Every song is good. Even the ones bastardized on the radio are still worth listening to.
Oh my god you're so lucky😁🤘 that's awesome👍 I love them!!!
100% true for me too!
1994 Toronto CNE stadium with guest Neil Young
Those in the crowd, (particularly those up front) had no idea of the greatness they were witnessing in the moment
Man I miss the 90's.
Me too!
Clayborne Elvis yeah I wish I had a time machine to go back and do it all over again but better! 💕💞🙏🏻😘🤘🤪👍🤘
Me three!
Same here but only the early nineties, after 95 everything went very wrong.
@@danilorodriguezpena6345 I mean, the 70's and the early 90's for sure. The 80's sucked big time with all the synth and computer generated music.
Who else is fascinated watching a young Eddie Vedder, knowing now his potential?
Starre Labell here!! Not even a big PEarl Jam fan, but this is just badass..
The House that Jack Built This was 4 days before the release of Ten. MTV had not played any of their videos yet and they were unknown to 99.9% of the world.
who new, Eh. weird.
He's a corporate mind within himself
Starre Labell And the fact if he had any demons and used drugs to get rid he didn’t OD and die like so many talented young men
Who knew they would be relevant 30yrs later and still going...great band.
This gig is simply amazing on so many levels. So thankful someone was there to record it in its entirety. This deserves way more than 1.4 mil views!
The Ten album is a masterpiece.
Agreed. Start to finish. This video has truly legendary stuff on it before it exploded into all that we now know!

I live in Seattle.Grew up with some of these guys. This is very special to me.Im still here in 2020 wondering what happened to this world I used to love..............
Stuff of legend
Other than the sound was recorded through a potato
One of the most beautiful men ever to walk the earth.
As the guy said at the end: UNREAL. These were the best times and the best music. Just some random surfer guy with duct taped, torn shorts and a t-shirt, a messy mane and a powerful voice, jamming with super talented friends, casually checking his watch at 37:17, climbing up to get a better view, enjoying himself, playing games with an adoring crowd. No strobes, no smoke, no fancy clothes and no stage design, just raw talent, pure energy, and awesome music. 90's were the best ever.
The only reason I looked into the comments was to see people talk about the twitching guy
JHC!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop it already!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Lol me too
No shit!!! I cant fucking watch anymore
Damn that guy i cant enjoy the video because of that head jerky guy😣
ADHD😂😂
"Ten" is a perfect album and one of the best rock albums ever recorded. I know that the album hadn't been released yet, but I'm still surprised by how dead this crowd was. The first time I heard Ten I knew I was listening to something special.
The sound is terrible.
i like the reverb. helps me sleep
True
It's 'cause it's in Seattle.
Context is everything. This was a brand new sound during a time when hair metal was still dominating the radio. The crowd was probably still trying to figure out what they were hearing. On the other hand, it may be because this is in Seattle. As a gen exer who lives in Seattle and lived here during the late 80s and early 90s, we knew of Nirvana AIC, Sound Garden and Pearl Jam already and would hear them at music stores and college radio all the time. The crowd may just have heard these guys a million times before and the novelty may have worn off.
Eddie... what a specimen! 💚💚💚💚💚
He is sooo Beautiful,it makes my heart hurt, I LOVE EDDIE, he's my absolute dream man.just too SEXY.carman loves Eddie
❤❤❤❤
I still can't believe that I was there for this. A moment in History for this band. I think they were still calling themselves Mookie Blaylock. That was a great day. I also remember seeing Candlebox this year at Pain in the Grass. Every Friday my Old Man and I would head to these shows.
awesome is a word that is used far too much but I must say that is pretty awesome to read and the fact that you and your Dad did that I'm sure is a lasting memory
Damn. It doesn't get any better than vintage Pearl Jam
dakat956 doesn't get eddie vedder
Who's listening 28 years later!
Good music lasts forever. 🌸
@@MsGechi77 sure does
Just found this, crowd a bit crap but Pearl Jam have never disappointed, they are still a legendary outfit.
I am!! 50 years old and still rock up and down!!!😜👍❤😘
@@machellasuttle4677 Thats what I want to hear!.
A rare band when everything comes together
This is an important piece of archive in the history of humanity! Amazing....
YAAASSS bro
When even Seattle wasn't hip to the "Seattle scene" just yet.
We were hip. This was on a Friday during the day, so most of us were still at school 😆
This is an amazing piece of history. Cant believe the quality of this for 1991. This must have been pretty hard to film as well as it was. I remember the size of camcorders in the early 90's and it did not take long to get tired of holding the thing up. To whomever filmed and to whomever posted this THANK YOU!!
And How!!
Time traveler.....
Dude we weren’t pussies .. you just held it ... wtf that’s what you thought about how big the camera was
Yeah and to think, just a few years before this everything was recorded by chiseling on a stone tablet. So cumbersome.
I'm glad we didn't have the Internet as it is now, but damn I wish we had at least 720p.
I am so thankful that I was in my prime during that Grunge days!! I was a sophomore when nirvana broke and my God when the flood doors opened the music that cane from it was unbelievable!! I just watched a concert the other night of 7 year bitch and Eddie Veddrr was in tne crowd for the show!! I Remember following PJ from Minnesota to Wisconsin then to Chicago and finally Kansas city!! I quit my job or more accurately got Fired!! Hitch hiked to Kansas city with some random people I met on the Lawn at Alpine Valley to see PJ. I ended up stranded in Kansas city. I spent alot of money illegal concessions which left me broke!! I wish my kids could experience a music sceen like this!! It was such a amazing in music history!
I forgot 7 year bitch I loved L7
They were all there to witness the creation of the best Pearl Jam album. What a time..
Random fact: This concert happened the same week the Nirvana's smells like teen spirit was released as a pre-single on campus radio.
Random opinion: Pearl Jam >>>>> Nirvana
Mila watching this I was thinking how much better Nirvana was than Pearl Jam. Nirvana could get a crowd rolling, and no one really knew nirvana until 1992
@@ValisX maybe this was just a casual crowd? Pre 1992, there were fangroups of nirvana already following from the punk underground. Pearl jam, in itself as a band, was very young in touring and performing right before Ten.
They are not even similar bands they both rock
to the camera man... you sir are a goat. thank you for this! and The zoom in at 27:10 ...you knew the emotion that needed to be captured. goosebumps!!!
also I went to the PJ exhibit at the Mopop yesterday and was severely disappointed that this video wasn't being played! you captured a moment in time!
thank you for sharing!!!!!!
I hope someone in 2060 will discover this band, they were/are great.
Note to advertisers..
When your commercial interrupts the intro to 'Alive' it makes me despise your product..
J Scho really good point 👍🏼👍🏼
I know I despise peleton!!!!!!
Add block 🖤
Rita Barbosa that’s like putting a band-aid on the problem. It just covers it up
Do you work for free?... Advertising pays for content, so you can watch for free. 🤑
Eddies hair seemed to be a 6th member of the band.
Did you ever see him in his band Bad Radio?
My favorite concert to watch, watched and listen sooo many times, and Pinkpop 92' and Pinkpop 2000 and too many to list lol!! ❤️🤘💗🤘✌️
Crazy to think that these young kids early 20s in the crowd are like close to or over 50 now.
Well, then watch Woodstock. Many of them are gone now...:(
Time dont stop for no one
I was 14 when this came out... I'm 43 now. Feels bad man.
Yup ... We got to live the best life we can because well, this is the only life we get
@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg same here
This crowd has no idea of the greatness
What a great time in history. Grunge was about to explode. Linux would be introduced to the world two days after this. The first website went live 17 days earlier.
Then we fucked it all up.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Lennox Luis? I was only 10 at this time but I was alive for it? I remember Tyson biting holy field too? Prolly not same Lennox tho lol
@@ego-smack-sequel2661 uhhh Linux the operating system. Tyson biting holyfields ear was like 98. The 90s died after 94 anyways. 95-99 was pretty shit.
Who’s watching stuck at home cause of the Coronavirus??
Yep
Desde Perú en toque de queda
Me!
Yep, I'm about to go nuts good music helps lol.
From Córdoba Argentina
Absolutely insane footage...young, wild and ridiculously talented. PJ forever
I would do anything for a time machine to witness this live. Just once.
A time machine is about the only thing I'd sell my soul for fr
You would have loved it. Heard them first time in 1991. Went to my first show in 1994 and have been to every one in Toronto
@@jaxonmoon9815
And after you're done using it, go back to the moment before you sold your soul
At 48:30 "Hey man, did you get all of that?! Can I get your address?"
Lmao. 1991, phone number or address,
Those were our only two options.
Right? Remember when it was perfectly acceptable to just roll up to someone's house and knock on the door?
Coolest thing to me is the fact that nobody freaked out when he asked that. Because he wanted to maybe get a copy and connect over their shared experience. Today that would be considered creepy and people might give you their email address because it would keep you from actually contacting them in real life.
@@morsteen talking to strangers is now weird I guess.
He knew what he just witnessed
Manifesting Destiny ♥️and if we could go back in time and be able to say....dude, one day there will be a platform we can all put our videos for others to view🤯
I miss those days when nobody took pictures with the phone and enjoyed the gig with no distractions
Yes 🙌
Giant vhs camcorder front stage...
@@ethanbruss26 Yeah ONE vhs camcorder. And whoever filmed this wasn't able to put it online automatically
They’re literally filming this with a camera
Captain obvious! Come on, you know what I mean..
Gotta love the guy at the end, “Can I get your address?” I’m sure he was gonna mail a blank tape or something for a copy
His singing voice has so much power it's unreal
Eddie's voice speaks to your soul, it's that powerful
And he sings like a man. No squeaky, hi-pitched hairband crap. Like Coverdale did...a man.
Exceptional power and projection. He would have been outstanding in opera.
@@Tdub0911 wtf Coverdale is one of the best singers wth you talking about, he used to have a really powerful voice, not only high-pitched
The Seattle grunge movement was filled with some of the best singers this world has ever seen
I needed this BAD!
I've been a little down after turning the big 50 but this makes me very much appreciate the gift my 90's youth was.
This music feeds my soul today every bit as much as it did when I was thoroughly baptised in it in its infancy.
As great as it would be to be young I would never trade for growing up without that constant flood of awesome soulful music that was the 90's, and such a huge part of my youth, let alone suffer the mind numbing garbage my children's generation is contributing.
So many of my best memories and greatest experiences are recalled through song from the greatest musical era and I can't imagine my kids having that future privilege considering their musical inventory.
Thank you for the perspective!
Happy 50th Roger. A milestone indeed bro, but the entrance to a much more, relaxed, non-plastic pathway that Im sure you will enjoy, and it gets even better after a while. ( im 54 now, life is good, much more organic). Peace 😉
Happy B-day brother. I hear ya though. I always head for some good old 90's music, especially PJ, when I get in the gutter. And it's like massaging the soul. Peace!
Right on brother I'm in my mid 40s it doesn't seem that long ago but damn. Learn guitar dude it's life
Roger Bivins Happy belated Birthday man! I was into the heavy metal and glam rock at this stage when grunge came into effect. Looking back on it, it was much needed by the influx of garbage copying bands like Motley Crue and Poison. Granted they didn’t have the soul and emotion grunge does but it was fun nonetheless. Of course I hated grunge just because of the extreme change it caused among the music I loved at the time but deep down, I loved (and still do) these guys along with Alice In Chains, Mad Season, Soundgarden & so on. Now at the age of 45, these guys have more of a soundtrack for me to some awesome memories of this time. As I get older, I appreciate this era so much more rather than the crap I listened to at the time. It’s a shame what the industry has become today and feel really sad kids will never know what we experienced & the impact it had on our lives.
42 here yep 90s youth was great feel so lucky to have lived in that time and this music inspired me to pick up the guitar
Anybody else totally fascinated by the kid in the front row (Pistons hat) who keeps jerking his head and flipping his pony tail every 3 seconds for THE ENTIRE SHOW!?!?!
Amazing footage by the way. I’m so thankful this video exists. Glad I found it. Thank you to whoever posted it.
Have been looking for this comment LOL. Kid (now old man) must have Tourette's or something.
Wow i cant believe how excellent they sound here for a show before the album even came out !
12:30 eddy sings “I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota, oh yeah” -Outshined by Soundgarden
I scrolled down the comments just to see if anyone else caught that. I wonder who's idea was first for these lyrics 🤔
Jay Babin-o not sure who’s idea it was first for the lyrics but Eddy told the crowd after he sang that it was a preview of the new Soundgarden’s album
I don't remember camcorder batteries lasting nearly 50 minutes back then! This is incredible.
One of my favorite lead singers/bands on this planet. Really moved me during and angry time in history. Amazing... Just think 4 days later there's and our lives would change for ever on! Then the World heard EvenFlow for the first time...
This crowd had no idea the greatness displayed but a few feet away .. they were in the light.
We knew. 😊 That's why there. First "all ages" public show.
This was Dave Abbruzzese's very first show with the band, 4 days before their debut album "Ten" was released. Incredible time in music.
Never the same without him. Magic combo, like Adler with GnR
He's such a boss.
Dave was with them in their most important years and historic moments and for that he gets shunned by the band and not invited to the Rock and Roll HOF induction. I love old PJ but FUCK them for dissing him like that.
@@PatrickHale1020 he even write some songs! The rock and roll Hall of Fame dropped the ball on that!
@@50nuccio I watched some of Adler's video s and he's playing great. You can even feel gnr groove in his playing. He's gotta reunite !!
I remember this show like yesterday. I had just moved into an apartment on lower Queen Ann, 1st & John. I graduated college in mid-may in '91, boogied to Europe for 3 weeks before running up to Bristol Bay, Ak to work the summer salmon fishery then came home to hear about Mookie Blaylock and see my first PJ show. What a fuckin' welcome home. To be able to walk across the street and see this show... Fuck. My Seattle of 1991 is so long gone but my memories stick, what a show!
Mookie the singer from mother love bone that died?
Where we're you in respects with this camera ?
Seattle grunge 101. Andy Wood = mother love bone. Andy (biggest Seattle talent ever) was lead vocal w MLB, when he died a terribly young death. MLB fractured after our sweet Andy's passing. Pearl Jam, guys from MLB reincarnated w/ Ed Vedder on vocal, played their first few shows under the pseudonym, "Mookie Blalock." Mookie Blaylock was a short, scrappy player in American NBA. Andy loved to play basketball. He loved the Dallas Cowboys too, fuckin trader...Andrew Wood is alive and living well.
Beautiful!
Love this memory ! Thanks for sharing that ... I was 20 at that time !!!! Seems like a million years ago, yet almost like yesterday in the same breath ...
I’m so jealous. What a time to be young!
What a band. With all due respect to those that joined Pearl Jam later?
THIS was the band.
Great job on filming with an 8lb shoe box video camera on your shoulder!
Their concert in Holland in '92' not long after this was like listening to Ten on steroids.
Thank you for posting.
What a band!
“Dude did you get all of that? Can I get your address?” ...It's the old school way of sharing, what time travel we just made, ... I'm 42 ... excellent
44:22 = ::swoon:: That hair. That smile. Those eyes.
Suddenly I’m that 16 year old girl who though Eddie was so, so dreamy.
God bless the 90’s. (And crowdsurfing vocalists.)
Indeed!
AerialArtGrunge thank you for stating exactly how i feel when i watch this! 💜💜💜🙇♀️
AerialArtGrunge sex u down!!!
The first time I saw Eddie Vedder I wanted to touch his hair......he is stunning!!
I understand
Can you imagine walking around Seattle Center that day hearing Ed's voice and thinking, "Damn, who is that? He sounds pretty good!"
I was 17 yrs old when I first saw PEARL JAM “ALIVE” on MTV I was forever changed captivated by Eddies energy along with that song was meaningful . The album TEN is the only greatest album they’ve ever made in their lifetime. Epic legends!
28 plus years later, and they're still ALIVE!!! Not as many demons as Nirvana had or the tragedy that came over AIC or STP... I grew and aged with them! TEN forever changed me as an individual and I'm so BLESSED to make this journey with them aside me, wherever I go! Just imagine those guys in front of that tiny stage, imagine the concert they had a year later called Drop in the park, after their first world tour... So many AWESOME moments! Thanks PJ! Mookey was a great player too!👍
Just seeing this is incredible, I was born in 92' yet this genre still inspires me as a musician and as an audio Engineer.Thank you forever Pearl Jam!!!!
AWESOMENESS on an EPIC scale! What a video!!! Thank you SO MUCH to whoever recorded this! NOTHING touches classic Pearl Jam! Look at that wild exuberant energy and 'fuck you' attitude! Stunning stuff! Inspirational really......
"Fuck you attidute :D Well said!
This is the Pearl Jam I know and love.
I saw them that year. What a feral, beautiful boy.
Classic quote..."Hey Man, did you get all that? Can I get your address?"........whomever captured this moment in music history.....THANK YOU!!!
man that was so funny
Eddie Vedder is the reason this band got big! His voice and charisma made this group great!
He’s great, but Stone and Jeff’s guitar and bass were a huge part, and the band that they were in before this, Mother Love Bone, was going to be huge and everyone in the music business knew it. Check out their album if you want to hear more great Stone Gossard guitar playing.
Don t forget Dave Abbruzzese
Only Eddie Vedder can sing live whilst playing basketball and still sound "studio quality."
This lineup is and will always be my Pearl Jam
12:30 He quotes Soundgarden "Outshined", which isn't released as a single until December 1991.
That was pretty cool! Glad you caught my Easter egg
I saw SG in 91 with GnR they blew GnR off the stage. I had no idea who they were, I was at a party before the show and someone had a copy of Badmotorfinger which came out like a month or 2 earlier.
One of my favorite things about PJ is the constructive war between Gibson and Fender for our benefit
Nothing sounds better than a les Paul and strat in unison through jcm 800's.
Watching this, brought me back to the 90's... I was 24 when this took place. I actually had some old feelings come back for a sec... this was seriously the absolute best time period of my life!!! The music was fresh and exciting!!!✌😁
Me too, I was 22 good times, less stress and people were actually decent. Now people are possessed.
I was 26,,,,,GREAT times. 👍👍👍😎
Me too, I was 24! Saw them live in 91 at Tower Records in MD for a pop up concert! They were passing thru to do a concert nearby.
What an Early Peice Of R & R History !! This crowd had "No Idea" what was going to be released 4 days later... 10 !! True Peice Of History Right Here Folks ! Thanks For Sharing......
Brings back memories of being in high school ...no internet no smartphones or social media...came out and talked to people and lived
Exactly!.. what we had was surreal
All I kept thinking while watching this was that these guys had absolutely no idea what was about to hit them, and that 25 years later they would still be playing sold out shows.
Nikki that happen whit all bands...
uh no it doesnt. most band dont make it at all
Wardo Melena Actually very few. They still tour yearly and sell out each venue, including four nights at stadiums last year alone. Very few can also say that albums 5-7 were just as good, if not better, than 1-3.
Wardo Melena Wow! Not so much. I was in a band, in Seattle, at that time, and you've never heard of us. If ever there was a time and place to make it, that was it but.... a couple gigs and it was over. Truth told we weren't nearly as good, passionate or dedicated as these guys were. It doesn't just take talent, it also takes relentless pursuit and desire. Now if you meant that, of all the bands that make it, they don't know what's about to hit them until it does, then I get it.
daawgfan yeah that is true
This is that good raw rock! We need more of this now days.
Almost 30 years old already! And so much water under the bridge since then.... from TEN to GIGATON and so much outstanding music in between- Pearl Jam, the KINGS of Grunge!! They left too many corpses in their wake as they continue to, “Keep on rockin’ in the free world!” ~ K.
They say he's still twitching somewhere...
😀😀😀😀
Yeah
dude thought his 3" pony tail was cooler than Pearl Jam - lmmfao
😂😂😂 lmao. I thought the same thing.
Whos twitching brah?
Wow!! I found this video by chance today, August 23, 2019, this concert was exactly 28 years ago, my age right now... It's amazing, I love Pearl Jam so much, I don't identify with the bands of my generation.
Glad to hear that. It means you have a soul. The vast, vast majority of $#!+ today is hollow... devoid of substance, and focus-grouped to death. Autotune? Not pre-2000.
@Veran Dass what?
@Veran Dass I heard something, but it was poorly worded. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with my opinion? Oh, wait. I don't care. The music today is garbage.
I don't know how many times I have watched this, but I. So grateful to the man that stood there and videoing it for us all to still enjoy to this day 🙏🏻🥰🤘🏻🤙🏻
I saw them for the third time last week (1996, 2014, 2022) and the amazing thing is, that they are acting on the stage the same way as they did pretty much from the get go. Just like Pallas Athene.
