Transcendant song!!! Transcendant performance!!! Transcendant request!!! Thanks DH for reviewing... Your brother must be in heaven with this enormous smorgasbord of tasty PJ reviews.
I just enjoy his vocals period. This song reminds me of my dad. Thanks Dave for the reaction...sorry I requested a song you did already. Keep on rockin!
This is the Best Perfromance of Release IMO because it is so vocally sang from His Soul! Spot on! I will say this its NOT even a Performance in this case its a Experience
This version is famous and I can tell you the big difference between the two versions. Eddie sings the whole song. This song has become such an emotional touchstone for the fans that they sing the first verse and he lets them now. I think I may have mentioned this version to you before but never went so far as to send a link. The live version with the crowd interaction had more energy for sure but if you really want to hear this song in it's nascent stages, the Denmark version is the best. That's for the great review and rating.
As far as Eddie is concerned, I don't think you can get a more emotional performance of Release than this one. The other one you reacted to was ok but it pales in comparison to this one.
I appreciate you doing this song again. This version is my fave ever. The power, yes. I feel like this one was more emotional than the other one you did though but everyone’s gunna feel different things from different versions.
I LOVE Release!!!! Ten is one of the GREATEST albums ever, and NOT a weak song off it! ... Hmmm, HOW DID I miss you doing this song.... Guess I better go searching! lol
Bah, I just checked for it in another window... I've watched AND commented on that one... Damn early morning watchings lol. Nov 6th you did this... It would have been around the time I started to tune into this channel.
I have RELEASE ME tattooed on my arm, song is about my father too, between my dad and wife grief is one fucked up emotion, the worst, but thank god for PJ and their music , they help me heal, " I'LL HOLD THE PAIN , RELEASE ME!!!!!
Both performances are high impact and I eat them both up! (I recall chiming in in support of your reviewing this one before I knew you were indifferent to the lyrics. Ha. Although, honestly, if the lyrics were "rubber baby buggy bumpers, Jack and Jill ran up the hill to fetch a pail of water, yada yada", I'd insist that you reconsider.) Having said that, Eddie's voice here is gigantic, and his facial expressions certainly reflect that, so, for that reason, it does hit me a bit differently than the performance at Fenway. Thanks for taking the time to do this, David!
Thanks for the reaction. I think you nailed this. I also think this one has a bit more power of the vocals and the other has more emotion. I comb through the PJ catalogue of recordings to find versions of songs to put on my iPod. For me, I'm screening them for the quality of the music, and if I were picking which one Id put on my playlist it would be the other. That said, this one was fantastic too.
Okay, fellow PJ Fans, gotta level with ya. David doesn't give a flip about lyrics. I learned that the hard way when he reviewed "Present Tense" on his full-album review of No Code (on Patreon only) and didn't really get blown away by the lyrics. That's cool, he's a music-only guy. He's a bass player, he knows MUSIC like the back of his hand, and can appreciate a good vocal performance, but he is definitely not really a lyrics guy. You're not going to change his mind on a previously reviewed song by getting an Ed-Sings-More-Impassionedly version -- it's just not going to happen. It's best to not gum up the queue with that kinda stuff if you think you're going to blow him away with Ed's lyric writing. (Or Stone's. Let's not sleep on Don't Gimme No Lip. 🤣)
Yup. I really enjoy the channel, but I don't suggest the songs where the key element of it's greatness is the lyrics. Present Tense is a perfect example. The lyrics are brilliant, and the song sounds great, but you wouldn't look at the song's composition as being anything that stands out. Unthought Known is another example that fits this description. David's analysis is great for what it is. Obviously the lyrics matter in assessing overall brilliance, but that just isn't David's cup of tea. I'm enjoying the journey and it's totally ok that many of us find that the lyrics significantly enhance the value in the PJ catalogue.
You are crazzzy theres ALWAYS emotion in Eddie’s Singing/Cocals but IMO this stands Alone just from Eddie’s standpoint NOT the crowds or mine if thet makes sense! Good stuff though love the vids/reactions You have done through the years
You may laugh at me, but when I listen to this song, I can't help myself imagine the following scene: aliens attack the Earth, however they somehow happen upon this PJ performance, they freeze, fall into trans, get hypnotized, dropped their mouths and eyes open and they stay petrified like this, lol :D I really don't know why, it just has some depth and magic and magnetism, it reminds me a little bit of the Orthodox Christianity church singing (I am from Eastern Europe), it has a similar mysteriousness... I don't know, I can't explain it...
On his Patreon page, he reacted to the entire No Code album. He mostly liked the album, but he didn't really care for Present Tense. I think he said it was too slow for his liking.
Hey David, are you familiar with Them Crooked Vultures, or is it something you could actually react to? If it is, here's a suggestion, "New Fang": ua-cam.com/video/1veQocaigWQ/v-deo.html

![[HD] PearL Jam - Release (Live Holland 1992) (Reaction)](/img/n.gif)
Wow, probably my favorite song ever. So deep and so moving that it hurts.
Such an amazing song this . In my top 5 Pearl Jam songs of all time
This and black is what hooked me in 1992 as a 14 old kid! I’m still waiting patiently for immortality
Transcendant song!!! Transcendant performance!!! Transcendant request!!!
Thanks DH for reviewing... Your brother must be in heaven with this enormous smorgasbord of tasty PJ reviews.
Ohhh he's loving it I'm sure with that cheesy smirk on his face
This is an anthem!!!
I just enjoy his vocals period. This song reminds me of my dad. Thanks Dave for the reaction...sorry I requested a song you did already. Keep on rockin!
From the first moment I heard this song it just gets me so emotional it still gets me especially the live versions

Thanks for taking the time to do this, David!
Man, I used to get so wasted to this, one of my favorite songs along with Black and Indifference
CHECK OUT THE LIVE VERSION FROM 2016 WRIGLEY FIELD

If your Dads dead and you feel like you have to prove something to him, this is the song for you
They actually took a cut of the live act n mixed it into the album version, you can't even tell!
I think you are right. Especially the opening sounds really weird.
I always thought it seemed to clear for a 1992 live show. Thanks
I watched a few reactions and I think our tast in music is definitely different
Definitely my favorite Pearl Jam song!!!!

one of my favs
I was hoping you would watch this version 👍
Got to hear his vocal on this song from the solider field show Chicago in 95….
Essa música é maravilhosa. Eu fico com a respiração presa porque dá impressão que ele vai falhar.
David I noticed your intro included Zero Signal. You react to this already? Badass song bro.
No haven't reacted to Zero Signal, unfortunately I know the song well so I couldn't do an honest reaction to it. Still love it.
Great version. Started out a little rough, but took off for sure

AN EMOTIONAL SONG.... EDDIE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO TEAR UP WHEN SINGING IT. CHECK OUT THE BACK STORY OF IT... EMOTIONAL,
Je chiale à chaque fois que je l l'écoute 😢
So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘
I don' think this is an Eddie song, I think of this as a McCready/Ament song.
Super blood wolf moon! Please
I'll need a link so I watch the correct video
Só 8.6?
Still have not reacted to present tense ☹️
On his Patreon page, he reacted to the entire No Code album. He mostly liked the album, but he didn't really care for Present Tense. I think he said it was too slow for his liking.
He should do the live performance from the Letterman show a few yrs ago. Crowd participation was great

@@THEDavidHeretic Thanks!
This is not the version to react to and I love David but lyrics are not his thing and this song is all about lyrics and emotion.
What do you mean not the version to react to? This man out all his power and passion into this!

@@jerseyshawn4283 I’m looking at it from a vocal performance standpoint. Respect your opinion though.
