On the road with Pearl Jam

These men have kept me buoyed for decades. Thanks, gents.

[@jpabraham252]

Well said. I feel exactly the same way. Not to mention the memories and friendships I’ve been lucky enough to make while attending their shows.

That's a great turn of phrase I'm too dumb to ever remember to use for myself.

Grew up in Seattle. Pearl Jam was the 90's soundtrack of my life and still is. When I experienced some of the most meaningful moments of my life, through love, loss, happiness, grief, success, failure, inspiration, and redemption, Pearl was there lifting me up and making sure my world rocked!

[@Sirforgotalot]

One morning 25ish yrs ago as my wife was taking kids to school "Better Man" came on. She joked to the kids "Why is she looking for the BUTTER Man?" From then on Butter Man was OUR lyric for the song. FFW to 2021 when this incredible mom and wife and Love Of My Life lay silent, motionless in ICU hospice. She was in her final hours and no longer speaking. Late that night I got up to use the bathroom in her room. I came out and sat beside her to hold her and watch her every breath as it may be her last. Suddenly, in the tiniest whisper she said the most beautiful thing imaginable to me. "I found the Butter Man." Hearing her sweet voice again I broke and as I wept I blurted "What? Where? Where did you find him?" She took a moment then whispered to me "In the toilet." Her "Butter Man" had just come out of the bathroom. It was me! Those few beautiful words to me were her last and she passed a few hours later. True story and I'll forever cry when I hear Better Man. Special thanks for this one fellas!

[@brindasatwah6376]

Ok??

Eddie is great! Thank you to Eddie's Mom

Pearl Jam has been my foundation in life since 1992. Their music and philosophy of life has guided me through the highs and lows that I have experienced in my journey through this thing called "life". How incredibly grateful I am to be ALIVE and say "I seen Pearl Jam in concert" :-)

[@zackwilliams9912]

They should receive the Kennedy center honors in a few years for their contributions to music and putting grunge on the mainstream alongside Nirvana

[@virginiaknighten4687]

I totally agree with you!

Side note: I wish this was 2 hours.

Can't find a better band! Love them! Greetings from Brazil! ❤

[@ytzpilot]

Saw them live when they were the opening act for Neil Young early 90s, Neil and Eddie closed the night singing ‘Keep On Rocking In The Free World’ together

[@KittyCarlile-490]

Saw them a few times at the Shoreline in Mountain View Ca w Neil Young

[@iamuhura]

oh wow, that show must have been amazing live. I remember seeing footage on MTV and only ever hear this version when I think of the song. Thanks for the memories!

[@nel716]

Thank you Pearl Jam for all the great memories and moments that happened because of your music 35 years later it brings me to tears and joy

[@robertcaliguri4364]

Greatest Band on the planet! I’ve been blessed to have been able to see them live 53X since 1996.

[@AndreasIreland]

Why 53 times? Can you tell me abut 32, 16, 44?

[@johnrpizzaguy]

I’m 63 and I have 2 acts that I have not seen yet,one is not possible (Stevie Ray) and the other is Pearl Jam. I had tickets but Covid took that chance away. Eddie is an amazing front man, super intense.

[@mano1971music]

You MUST see Pearl Jam in concert.......book a flight, reserve a hotel and grab a ticket to a concert somewhere away from your home state. It's a memory you will cherish the rest of your life ;-)

[@Blaylock2]

I was fortunate to see Stevie at Tom Lee park in Memphis back in 90 and have been to at least half a dozen Pearl Jam shows . Ironically in Memphis , Vedder at the time was raising money for the west Memphis 3 . Amazing shows you should go see them if you have a chance ! I’m no springs chicken but I still make it shows on occasion lol .

[@johnrpizzaguy]

@@Blaylock2 how cool to have seen Stevie Ray and he would have had Reese Winans on keyboards and Double Trouble. I will make it to a Pearl Jam show. Thanks for the positive energy, we all need more of that.

[@CaptPicard81]

They are like constantly touring, you gotta do it!

[@flipjupiter1]

That super short clip of Eddie in Bad Radio was awesome. Pearl Jam 4 Life!!! Great segment. Thanks CBS.

[@brianwood7237]

Hard to really explain the impact of this band back in 91...truly special time

[@romangarcia608]

whether or not you like their music, one must give them an extraordinary amount of credit for having sustained enormous success for 3+ decades with very little promotion and songs on the radio that are 30 years old (can’t remember last time i heard “new” Pearl Jam on the radio)…i saw them over the summer, sold out just like their shows in the early 90’s. this was a great piece - rock on, boys

[@alejandrovillegas177]

Their music and poetry have been guiding me trough the mist that life can be since I was a kid and now my own kids... so grateful for having the luck of living with them since my youth.

[@tommyt1971]

One of the greatest live performances I ever saw was the one time I saw PJ at Lollapalooza in 1992. Haven’t seen ‘em since, just unlucky I guess. But the 1992 performance was just astonishing: in the first half, Eddie stopped the band and called attn to a woman who was being crushed against the barrier close to the stage. He got the roadies and security over there pronto to help her out. Then the band picked up on the note they left off on. During one of the last songs they played the band went into an extended jam while Ed climbed the stage rigging to the top. Then he stumbled along the tarps covering the roof and started climbing down the other side. About 25-30 ft above the ground he jumped and they caught him like he’d landed on a mattress. He sank into the crowd and when the roadies finally hauled him out, his shirt was GONE. Got back up onstage and they finished up. It was about 50 mins of pure nuclear energy.

[@musicqueen05]

Pearl Jam has brought me so much in my 32 years. They've provided the soundtrack to every decade, with different songs associated with each. Their music has empathized with me when I've felt heartbreak, sorrow and loss, then built me back up to celebrate the good times. Through the band, I've made lifelong friendships, traveling around new countries, making the best memories and connections. I've sang my heart out alongside fans eho are just as in love with them as i am and felt our collective energy transcend. So really, all I can find the words to say to them are - thank you, so very much. You don't know me, yet you're a huge part of my life and I'm forever grateful 💜

[@stp1164]

Pearl Jam for many (including myself) is our generations- The Who, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones.

[@stephen1462]

I think they still enjoy playing live shows together, but I suspect the traveling and being away from family for extended periods is draining. The frame with the pic of the surfer had photos of Eddie’s daughters and wife tucked in the corners.

Ive been listening to Pearl Jam since elementary school since my older brother played it for me. Ten, Temple or The Dog, these were our favorite albums. I'm 38 now. I've basically lived my whole life with these guys. That's why it was weird when Cornell died.

Saw them at Wriggly again, this time with my kids. My wife ran into Eddy at Optimo, where I get all of my hats made, and he couldn't have been a more humble and kind guy. I've been. going to rock concerts since the mid-70's. Best show I have seen yet!!! If you have an opportunity to see them on this tour, do so!

[@brindasatwah6376]

My favorite! Seeing them twice this weekend.

[@tkreitler]

Like Eddie, I was also born in the 60's in Illinois. Walter Payton was an incredible inspiration to those who watched him be the toughest guy on the field every week. I've been able to push myself through some tough times just because Walter had provided the blueprint on how to be tough. As a young teenager and listening for the first time, Who's Next was a musical revelation like no other. For me, the only other album that was similarly mind-blowing was Selling England By The Pound.

[@dbstrozier]

Bring at a PJ show is such a joy. It feels like all isnright with the world in those few hours. I want to go again and again. They are the best

I picked up Pearl Jam the summer of 2000 in Seattle And I was captain of their private jet charter for the rest of the summer because I didn’t want to get ioff because we were having so much fun. Usually I would work one week on and one week off, but I told my boss that me and the flight attendant wanted to stay on. I was familiar with the name of the band, but I didn’t really know their music so I bought the CD Ten And immediately fell in love with it❤. Since I didn’t know who the members of the band were, I picked out the two people that I thought were probably the stars… And there were two guys that sat in the back of the airplane next to the flight attendant galley galley and I assume they were the roadies. I would ask them “ How is the band doing?” And they would say “fine”. After about two weeks of this, my best friend from Seattle called me and said “ Have you met Eddie?” I asked the flight attendant who Eddie Vedder was? And she said “your buddy”.. So Eddie and Stone led me to believe they were the roadies… I know they got a giggle at that. It was a beautiful summer. We ended in Jones Beach where they are absolutely adored. Eddie gave me a big hug As we said goodbye because they were not returning home with us. I love this band❤

Iin 2008 my then 20 something daughter had the brilliant idea of taking me to see Eddie Vedder during his solo tour following his release of Ukelele Songs. It was the best concert ever and bonding with my daughter was the happy upside of doing this. I've loved Pearl Jam ever since the 90's and I still get chills when I watch them on MTV's unplugged. Like Weird Al says, Eddie's grinding his molars and he has a wild eyed stare. It's so very sexy. lol!!

[@damatar]

To me, their recent albums, unlike those of a lot of older bands, still feel like the band isn't TRYING to make albums, the music is just flowing from them. If that makes sense. Bands early in their careers are full of passion and inspiration that flows onto the page and into their sets, while older bands tend to me to be trying to regain something. Pearl Jam in their 60s still feel like the music is flowing onto the vinyl. We missed our chance to see them in 2015 when NC's Republican legislature passed an anti-trans "bathroom bill" and the band (rightly) boycotted. Still hoping to see them someday.
