I was 7 when this was filmed, I discovered pearl jam when I was 10 years old, The first album I ever bought myself with my own money was Vs. and I have been a fan of this band ever since. Eddie Vedder has one of the best voices ever in my opinion, he has been and always will be such an inspiration to me. I thank him and the band for such amazing music and getting me through life, no matter the situation I was always able to turn to their music.

[@shonuff4323]

I miss the 90s so much. I don't know how to explain it to someone who wasn't alive then. Everything just seemed exciting. Everything seemed so fresh and new. The Seattle sound had just emerged and Rap/Hip Hop was in its golden age. Everyone got along. The country(USA) was doing great. We had just come out of the Gulf War, Soviet Union had just collapsed, and the economy was starting to do really well. It felt like the peak. People just seemed happier. It is such a stark contrast to today(2024). I do very much believe the internet ruined a lot of things. As great as the internet is, it has a ton of negatives.

I am a late bloomer when it comes to the guys of Pearl Jam, 51yrs old a fan for 2yrs now it saddens me that because I became a new mother of my amazing son in 1993 that I missed looking deeper and buying albums to enjoy their awesome talent, and didn't experience their music when it came out(I am enjoying it now immensely), and because I haven't seen them live, I'm praying for just one more tour, they had to cancel my concert May of this year due to Cameron and Ament being Covid positive. I absolutely favor these musicians to any and all music I've heard before.

[@shonuff4323]

Heh, I felt like a late bloomer and didn't get into them until 1998. I knew of them and heard their stuff, but I didn't like them at all. It all changed when I went to a concert in 1998. After seeing them live, I became obsessed. I had to have every song they ever did. I ended up going to as many shows they did as humanly possible. I don't really know how to explain it.

I'm so happy for all of their success and I thank God that they are still here with us today. Their music changed our world tremendously. Those little kids were so lucky to sit there and converse with Eddie and the guys so they have to be probably in their 30s by now, so cool so freaking cool!! ❤️

Videos like these are proof that time travel either will NEVER be invented, or if it is possible to travel back in time and witness a sweet historic show, you enter another dimension completely. Or, 90’s videos are permanent relics and aren’t affected by time travel, and this show is actually crammed with time-travelling Pearl Jam fans. This is a tough kind of show to play. Gotta watch your dynamics and volume and still bring out the best of the tune.

De la época que se grabó éste video, en Argentina había muy poco o casi nulo material visual de PJ. Algunos pocos, muy pocos, tenían acceso a imágenes de cómo era PJ en vivo. Los demás...muchos más, sospechábamos, especulábamos, imaginábamos cómo era PJ en vivo, sólo con el dato del sonido de su primer cd. Está bien, ya habíamos visto el video de "Alive"...eso hacía que la espera de tener esas imágenes fuese casi insoportable. Yo tenía la certeza que era algo grande...MUY GRANDE! A fines de los 90's, en mi trabajo, conocí un tipo que era tanto o más fanático de PJ que yo. Fue él quién me confirmó: "Si, en vivo son DEMOLEDORES"...creo que ya circulaba, de mano en mano el "PinkPop 92".
