I was there! It was epic. The audience went wild. He looked up at the crowd as he was about to start, and I looked wide angle at the coliseum and everyone was cheering. His expression was priceless. He started and rocked it. At the end of the concert, Eddie called him back up and he bowed along with the band. This was one of the most amazing concert experiences ever.
There were two others that played. One who was in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He opened as well and talked about Cotati, CA in his open. The other is a Bay Area local I believe...
Eddie's perspicacity and generous mind. He didn't forget the dreams he had himself in his own youth. Sometimes, I wonder if such a man doesn't come from a special planet.
A dream comes true. Eddie sees who.are full of promise and give them a chance to show it to a large audience. He is a good talent scout : this young boy is awesome. Thank to both of them.
I was there last night. It was a beautiful beutiful show and this was a great moment for that young pup. Man he will remember this for the rest of his life.
WOW! Kai, YOU just drummed for one the GREATEST ROCK BANDS to EVER EXIST on the face of THIS PLANET!!… And YOU were INCREDIBLE!! Way to go, man! That was absolutely KILLER!! I hope there’s a long, successful life in the industry ahead for you, brother. YOU know how to pound like the best of them. SO well done!
Love how they let this kid get a taste of big leagues..it will inspire him to practice and get good...Jeff and stones smiled at each other as to how in the pocket this kid was....nice job
Love Mind Your Manners. Great performance Eddie and Pearl Jam. Young Kye was the bomb on the drums. A moment in time he will never forget. Eddie appreciated Kye's efforts in the end, showing him some love 👏👏💗💗
Love it, he was perfect. His young energy added to the song. I wouldn’t be surprised if they called him back if their drummer can’t recover soon enough.
That was absolutely awesome, well that young man will never forget this moment in his life, playing drums for Pearl Jam on stage live in front of thousands of fans, what a life changer!! He did a incredible job!! Thank you so very much for sharing this awesome video 😊💓🤘✌️
The kid was well on his way anyway. His band plays some pretty big show, but getting to play with the big band has to be cool. I wonder if he got an excused absence for the class he cut?
I’m not particularly a fan of rock music. I saw him on a talk show and decided to look him up on UA-cam and found this video. For some reason I felt like a proud mom. He was so awesome. He hasn’t finished high school and played drums for a highly regarded rock group. He was so amazing. So now I’m a fan. ♥️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He was exactly the right person for the job, in the exact right place, at exactly the right time. It was his time, so I hope a good talent management agency will scoop him up and propel him into a long career. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he was ready for it.
@@roberthaizlip4351 yes but that still doesn't equal to this one night with Pearl jam bro.. he may already be in a band called alive and be big "in he area" but that in no way encompasses or even comes close to being on stage live in front of thousands of people, broadcasted live his name and popularity just went all over the world
@@-iceraptor- That is all irrelevant to the initial comment I'm replying to. He made it sound like he's just some kid pulled out of the audience on the spot having no exposure or experience. Vedder already said his band is huge in his area and well on it's way to stardom. Many huge bands or acts started this way. Sure it's cool what Bedder said but outside of the people that were there it's not like he gave him some kind of mega exposure or huge lift in his career or anything. The kid and his band are already well on their way
How awesome. And the best part is that the entire band is having a blast on stage with him! EV was loving it!! Mike lapped the stage about 50 times. And he slayed it to boot
Wow! Just wow. So proud for this young man! He just smashed the sh#t out of those drums!! And the fact that my favorite band to the end of eternity let him have such an opportunity, proves exactly why they are still alive and kicking ass baby!! Love Pearl Jam til my last breath!! ❤️
This is something you tell your friends pre youtube and nobody believes you. "No really. Matt was sick and they asked me to play a song. I swear it wasn't a dream. It happened."
This right here is what kindness and empowerment means! they gave this kid the opportunity of a lifetime. And he put in the work. so good! Thrilled for him.
yes Kai! hell yeah braddah what an unforgettable experience ! so glad you got this opportunity! if you haven't heard these kids they're amazing...look up their song "the man" they are so talented!
Eddie vedder what a legend.! He made sure this kid took in the growl of that crowd. And he didn't miss a beat. Congrats kai with this event I'm sure you are well on your way. I'd like to see you do that metallica cover with Metallica.! Why not let this kid shine.! He's already good only to get better from here.
I am so in awe. I just saw an ending segment of him on Tamaryn Hall show and most likely missed a clip of him playing. I decided to look on UA-cam. I am so impressed and at the same time so happy for him to be able to live a dream of playing for a famous group. He ROCKED that drum playing. He is awesome. I’m not his parent and felt so proud of his playing. Wow! Wow! Wow!
Can you imagine? Fantastic story and congrats to the kid. I’d love to have had the support he did for this story to come to pass never mind the talent.
So much BAD in the world. so WONDERFUL to see some GOOD! Amazing moment for humanity & music...and Punk!!! 🤟hey kids “Mind Your Manners” & keep rockin. Cause 1 day Pearl Jam will come to your town & may need you. Every musicians literal dream
I've seen this clip many many times the last two weeks .... And every time it sounds like he's introduced as "Kai Nuke'em" .. (At least in my ears - as a non-native english speaker ..) That would be such an awesome stage name! And very fitting since he plays drums and he blew everyone away with a freaking awesome performance. --- Because of this clip I found Nandi Bushell and her appearance with Foo Fighters at The Forum in LA. She's also an amazing up-and-coming drummer.

Who was the drummer for the rest of the concert ?
There were two others that played. One who was in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He opened as well and talked about Cotati, CA in his open. The other is a Bay Area local I believe...
That's epic
@@evertoncostapt Josh Klinghoffer and Richard Stuverud
his band is the alive
*He killed it! What an opportunity for this young kid!*
Seeing footage of kids having the opportunity to rock out with the bands that influenced them brings up tears in me. It's so damn awesome.
Eddie's perspicacity and generous mind. He didn't forget the dreams he had himself in his own youth. Sometimes, I wonder if such a man doesn't come from a special planet.
What a legend. This is every kids dream in his bedroom playing air drums while listening to music. He did it in real life.
A dream comes true. Eddie sees who.are full of promise and give them a chance to show it to a large audience. He is a good talent scout : this young boy is awesome. Thank to both of them.
I was there last night. It was a beautiful beutiful show and this was a great moment for that young pup. Man he will remember this for the rest of his life.
Amazing so did he only fill in for one song?
I've lived this over in my head a million times. The kid literally lived my dream.

I hope there’s a long, successful life in the industry ahead for you, brother. YOU know how to pound like the best of them. SO well done!
calm down
Imagine having that on your resume…that you played drums for Pearl Jam. I wish Kye and his band much success
Love how they let this kid get a taste of big leagues..it will inspire him to practice and get good...Jeff and stones smiled at each other as to how in the pocket this kid was....nice job
Man… this kid is already in the big league!!! Check his band “Alive”, they are playing in big festivals 🤘🏼
Who the fuck says "in the pocket"?
So many doors 🚪 will open for him… that was an interview for anybody that’s interested.
@@theloanranger2632 you have no idea how weird the youth are
@@theloanranger2632 Musicians, particularly drummers and bass players doing rhythm roles.
Impressive drumming. What an amazing thing to get to do. Pearl Jam.. wow. Kai, you’re going places.. congratulations!
I watched all the videos on The Alive's UA-cam Channel, Pearl Jam should be having these young men open for them on Tour they are Tight AF.
this is so awesome.. makes me get emotional that this kid got this chance with one of the greatest bands ever. thanks Eddie
I love to see a young person get an opportunity and this was it. Kudos, young man, you were awesome!!!
Love Mind Your Manners. Great performance Eddie and Pearl Jam. Young Kye was the bomb on the drums. A moment in time he will never forget. Eddie appreciated Kye's efforts in the end, showing him some love 👏👏💗💗

Holy shit this is a badass version with this young drummer
Super rad moment, he is the son of a friend of mine playing with my favorite band!

Oh trust me I'm sure they've already had a conversation with him.
Does nobody listen to Vedder when he says he's already huge in the area and in a big band???

I love the way Stone looks after him and Jeff is just as excited for him!
He blew my 63 year old socks off. WHOA!!! Sign that guy up please.
He smashed it up! I honestly don't know if I'm more proud of him or my band for letting him play!
Both, no ?
Why would your band not let him play?
How awesome. And the best part is that the entire band is having a blast on stage with him! EV was loving it!! Mike lapped the stage about 50 times. And he slayed it to boot
You're right!! It made them all look so young again! Kinda like when they first started out!! Warms my ❤️
Wow! He did an outstanding job. What a thrill that must have been for him!!
Giving me chills. He nailed it.
He killed it!! So glad for him. He’ll never forget this moment!🤘🏼
Wow! Just wow. So proud for this young man! He just smashed the sh#t out of those drums!! And the fact that my favorite band to the end of eternity let him have such an opportunity, proves exactly why they are still alive and kicking ass baby!! Love Pearl Jam til my last breath!! ❤️
That's a moment he will NEVER forget. Great job Kai.
Congratulations Kye - you did a great job! You’re really amazing and it shows🥁🎤🎼‼️
Bravo young man! BRAVO!
These are few minutes he wont ever forget
Pearl Jam are a special band. They like life.
This is something you tell your friends pre youtube and nobody believes you. "No really. Matt was sick and they asked me to play a song. I swear it wasn't a dream. It happened."
We were there! This kid was cool as a cucumber and drummed his butt off. Very impressive!
Absolutely smashed it!!!

When preparation meets opportunity. Remember that kiddies.

Eddie and the band have always been class acts.
Well deserved.. and livin the dream…
F**ing AWESOME Kai, huge congrats!!!
What an amazing moment in this young man's life. Hey was awesome. I hope to see him down the road in a major band!
wow!! I have tears ~
Eddie Vedder is one of the coolest musicians ever. The guy is so grounded still,… even after all the success.
That was sick. That’s a memory for a lifetime
Rockin a Rage Against the Machine 1997 tour tshirt. Nice!!!!
Good stuff. So cool when fans get to play on stage...and own the place
WOW I’ve never seen the band before Senior citizens rockin’ it! Great opportunity for the young men to step up 👏👏👏
If the members of Pearl Jam are senior citizens, what do you call the members of Aerosmith or the Rolling Stones?
@@roberthudson1959 same bro
Every young fan's dream! So happy for him
