I am Eddie's age and grew up going to see a lot of the same bands he did so I can understand some of where the stagediving influences come from. Yet, to this day, I have never see another singer sing from scaffolding and then rappel down using microphone wire. All hail Eddie. Thank God he survived it.

I respect Vedder for being a true friend to the Chili Peppers. Anthony Kiedis promised the Dalai Lama to do the Free Tibet concert but they lost their time slot due to some scheduling error. This crushed Kiedis but Vedder told the promoters to split Pearl Jam's time with RHCP or else he'd drop out. They relented and Kiedis was able to keep his word. That's being a true friend

[@DrumMenace]

One missed is from The Edge in 1992 in Orlando, FL. Eddie climbed up to the rafters and the venue's security guards didn't realize that it was Eddie and went out onto the rafters and grabbed him in a headlock to bring him back in. The guards were holding on to him and both he and the crowd were trying to tell the security guards who he was, but they didn't listen and continued to struggle with him. Finally, the band stopped and Dave came out from behind the drumset and all of the band members just stood there watching all of this. Finally with the music stopped and one of the guitarists speaking into the microphone about who he was, the guards finally relented and let him go. The band went back to playing and Eddie dropped down to the crowd below, who promptly cowd-surfed him to the front of the stage. Crazy thing to see.

I had a friend in college who used to climb all kinds of buildings and stuff when we were out partying. Always drove me crazy. He was a rock climber, so he had skills, but he was usually drunk. Then one day he fell almost 40ft. He was trying to get from a column to the roof of a 3 story building and slipped. Luckily he was able to aim for a big bush and only broke his arm besides being all scraped up. If he had hit the concrete steps that were a few feet away that would have been it for sure. When I saw him slip I realized the saying "my heart stopped" was really a thing. There were probably ten of us there watching and we all thought he was going to die. He was laughing as we helped him out of the bush. All the girls were crying.

Although this kicks ass, the rest of the band had a strong point. "If he falls and dies, all of this Pearl Jam, gone, thats it" Its like grunge was fated to all die. Vedder cheated it.

[@damagedbug8848]

During a Pearl jam show in the UK in 2016 i remember Eddie went to climb the side, got a bit of the way up, looked up and with a clear nod said "actually, no.." and came back down. I don't know if he was told not to do it or if he saw something unsafe and declined. Either way theres lots of pros and cons, okay i didnt get to see him climb but it was still an honour to be at the show he probably technically (or not) did his last climb, maybe..

[@UreksatheJade]

Probably felt a bit unfit and decided to tap out 😂, he's getting on in age lol

[@bellahoughton84]

I was 14 at my first Pearl Jam show in 1992. Kansas University. He climbed waaaaaaay high

[@Natalie-ox7xm]

The athleticism it took to do this shit is amazingly impressive... I don't know that pro athletes could climb up structures the way he did! Here's another thing, rappers are trying to do this now at their shows but they don't know how to land right and people are getting really badly injured at those shows. "Dj Aoki" or whatever landed on this girl and literally broke her neck. She was ok after medical treatment but i'm pretty sure he got sued for that and rightly so. Don't fucking do it if you don't know how to do it properly.

[@BearInMindMedia]

Eddie probably did have some sort of method to his madness I guess haha, especially considering those rappers you're talking about! Don't go breaking people's necks, jesus

[@Natalie-ox7xm]

@@BearInMindMedia LoL ! well if you watch he turned so he landed on his back into the crowd, These morons are jumping feet first into a crowd. Of course someone will take the brunt of that landing. There were never any injuries or lawsuits with Pearl Jam , it would have been big news. I can't remember who else but someone did it at a rap show and I think ended up paralysed from jumping off a balcony. Everybody moved and the guy hit the floor. Its just not applicable to that genre In my opinion.

[@leekeeho543]

@@Natalie-ox7xm let's not forget that those different times and different crowds, ofc jumping feet first is dumb but also back then the intensity of the show and the hype of the crowd was so up there that ppl would head bang the rest of the concert with a broken neck anyway

He used to do it during the solo section of the song “Porch” that’s why it’s always the same song.

One of the GOAT bands with one of the best front man and vocalist ever. Then he starts climbing and jumping off . Crazy epic.

[@PtyYouTube]

Vedder doing those climbs was epic in rock n roll history. Soemthing very Jim Morrisonesque He had big balls. That was life or death

[@stevea2488]

The band was probably thinking , if he dies we're done . I'm sure the record company and managment wasn't to happy this crazy shit

[@kevnicholas4761]

I was lucky enough to be at the Newcastle show featured in this video and even caught Eddie when he dived. I'll never forget there was about a dozen people waiting outside the venue and this small, scruffy looking guy comes out to talk to us all personally. We all though he must have been a roadie due to his accent. It wasn't until the band came out, we realized it was Eddie himself that came out to greet us.

[@BearInMindMedia]

Now that is one hell of a story, sick! Those earlier days sound amazing, you could just walk up and talk with the guys

[@kellybarthel8060]

In '92 saw them during the ten tour in Hawaii, great show, played two nights, I was at first show and Eddie climbed on up was a solid 20 feet up in this amphitheater. The crowd telling to go on and drop so he did and in an instant it was only him and green grass. It took him a solid 5 to ten minutes to finally make it back to the stage. Still finished out strong. Really great show. My friends that went the second night says he did not drop the next night.

David Lee Roth was probably the first rock singer to do stageclimbing in the '80s but Eddie Vedder took it to another level !

[@Evocati-Augusti]

When you bring the element of danger in a show it becomes more emotional for the fans, its a life or death situation with somebody you love doing it. And the fact they're willing to do that for you strengthing the bond between artist and fan...that's why they have a cult following.20 years from now they still sell out any venue,

[@robforrest2069]

I'm in the crowd right near where he lands at the Lollapalooza concert in Miami. His dive at the 10:11 mark. Doesn't look that high in the video, but he was way up there! He was definitely nuts back then! it was hot as hell at that show too. Miami in the middle of summer! Whew!

[@dafunkycanuck]

I saw him do this at Lollapalooza, Molson Park in Barrie, Ontario, July 18, 1992.

[@Dartheomus]

I bet his record label loved seeing all that potential money swinging by a single microphone cable. Crazy! I remember going to a concert by the Nixons in the mid 90s. The lead singer (Zac Maloy) climbed up a huge stack of speakers. He was probably 30 feet up when the whole stack started swaying. If he stayed on, the stack would have fell, so he bailed and landed in the crowd. Amazingly enough, they caught him! It was pavement below, so he thanked them for saving his life and kept going with the show. Amazing...

[@draganapasti_]

Adoré all Eddie's jumps & climbs, it was so adventurous as his deep mind is, so according to his enormous energy 💥 I was so captured with those "stunt doubles" braveries, which were just a few proof how courageous & outstanding& outrageous Eddie's mindset is. Spontaneous, authentic ,brave , generous....One who always dares in an awesome and smart way. No more Titans anymore . One is Eddie Vedder 🌹💔💥💫♾️

It was the first of three Pearl Jam concerts I saw. I didn't know until now that he climbed at more than just my show. What a beast.
