Pearl Jam - Animal (live at the MTV Video Music Awards - 02/09/1993)

[@rudybiagi2544]

Nothing better than Dave A on the kit !

[@rickstalentedtongue910]

Yup!

[@deveryshepardson3640]

I like Dave too but Matt Cameron is easily the best drummer that they’ve ever had

[@ComaAlpha]

​@@deveryshepardson3640Abruzze without a shadow of doubt.

[@McCracken216]

@@deveryshepardson3640 And you're easily the funniest fan they've ever had.

[@travzimmerman1340]

​@@deveryshepardson3640 Technically speaking, yeah you're probably right but Matt is WAY to clean and can't fill so his style unfortunately speeds everything up. Dave was the best PJ drummer followed by Jack.

[@xtlm]

In 92 they all jumped around. In 93 Ed just didn't care. He was so much more angry that year, still great music!

[@Casherr93]

Yeah he was "the hot guy of grunge" the prior years but he didn't like that direction, thats why the band changed a lot for 93 and onwards. Eddie was furious with the media and "hypocrites" in general, and decided to express it by being more reserved during shows.

[@Faks.09]

​@@Casherr93that's not what they meant, i think he stopped going nuts because he was simply exhausted after the constant touring

[@toddclark6862]

Idk Ed didn't jump around in their '92 MTV video awards performance of Jeremy either. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZqwfaierdBlrbcsi=sKY-pYvLOcHsPgkB

I absolutely love this performance, I watched it when it aired. Love Pearl Jam my favorite band on this earth, one of my favorite songs Animal and when MTV was awesome!! Thank you for sharing 😊 love Eddie Vedder 💓🤘✌️

[@AudieTheMastiff]

You took my words. I’m 51.. what a time!!!! I ❤❤❤❤

[@tdmallet]

Haven't seen them since Lollapalooza 92. Goddamn, it was fucking amazing. 🎉

[@tonyhall3365]

REM, Neil young and Nirvana all in the crowd watching. A better time for music than this era we're being served up

[@John_Locke_108]

You can see Ed's face that he's thinking , "I can't believe we let ourselves be talked into this". Not For You is already being written in his subconscious.

[@MANecci]

I could do a TED talk on this performance. The pure definition of a frontman letting his bandmates shine all the while he is still owning the stage and the room. This is all steak, no sizzle.

[@Andrew_Haase]

I believe this is the performance where he writes Pro-Choice & other messages on his arms

[@Bob-zo2tb]

That's why the band has stayed together

[@gdansk12349]

Dave Abbruzzese ❤❤❤

Dave Abbruzzese ❤❤❤❤ Peak Pearl Jam. Miss that authentic groove and energy

[@Moose6340]

I remember watching this back in '93. I didn't know what had hit me, man. Eddie up there looking completely unhinged,, just all that power and aggression unleashed in the music. And then they followed it up with that blistering version of "Rockin' in the Free World" with Neil Young. They don't put performances like this on TV any more.

[@celestialscripture]

"Hi everybody. We're Pearl Jam." Kicks everybody's ass. Leaves.

[@talpolano4549]

abruzzzeeeeeeee!

[@mackaybrown4847]

Damn I watched this over and over again after recording it onto VHS. Then I grew my hair and got a jacket from the army surplus store. Good times.

[@tremorchristlester4688]

Man this sure is high quality for 1993.

[@scottreed5231]

The riffs are angry…. and it’s awesome.

[@Joey-no6wd]

this original line up is the best

[@jasonkentros1633]

This was the song/performance that officially sealed my fate as a lifelong fan.

[@AudieTheMastiff]

Fuck yes and amen to Dave A on that kit dup’ing Vedders intro and outro. BOOM!

[@tonyliang8099]

Love performing this song. He gets so emotional

[@johnnylektric]

Maaan, I remember me and a bunch of high school buddies watching this VMA 93 in our friend's living room, drunk, body slamming, and jumping up and down the couch like we were in the actual gig haha

[@sd-11-11-sd]

Remember this performance well. Wild and restrained genius.

[@kman2975]

Holy shit they were explosive back then💥💥

Man they were on fire

[@lidianealves1063]

Peak

[@GuitarMatt]

But the three follow-up albums are arguably even better in some places. Yet I must concur with your comment. (Their battle with Ticketmaster ensued, so they weren't playing as much live in the immediate following years)

[@Casherr93]

​@@GuitarMatt they "mediatically" imploded themselves after the huge succes of Ten

I love him

This was my first time seeing them live. I was scared and mesmerizing at the same time. I was 12 and fell in love

[@gregsir]

Just came across this and was a treat after being a soundgarden fan for over 30 yrs,had to watch it twice,no doubt will return many times again,as said Matt Cameron absolute nails this and has earned the gong for grunge drumming,so connected 🤘possibly my favourite of their tracks,badmotorfinger everytime,Loud!

2 September 1993. Most other countries besides the USA go day/month/year.

Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain were both animals, they're not human at all.

[@israel8847]

Rather be with an Animal, should have kept Dave.

[@MicrophonesInTheTrees]

LOL. Every Pearl Jam vid, most comments are about Dave A. Obvs Eddie is cool in the ways he was but he was also a massive tool. Sacking Dave, Ticketmaster and trying to rule the song output, all while at their peak.

The day they lost Dave Abbruzzese they became soft AF. This was Pearl Jam. Not anymore.

[@doughartsock1073]

Liked Ed better when he was just a front man, not a guitarist. He looks a little puffy in this video.

[@KaylaHiggins92]

In just a year Eddie went from being this happy go lucky guy to this miserable thing standing on stage with it’s arms folded. What happened to him ?

[@Iamverybald]

Probably the ticketmaster fallout, they had faced censorship from the Jeremy video, and exhaustation from touring. My guess is they weren’t too pleased with playing in MTV and most likely were pushed by the label

[@toddcjohnson]

I don't believe that he was ever a 'happy-go-lucky-guy'.

[@travzimmerman1340]

Kurt taught Ed how to be sad.

[@travzimmerman1340]

​@@toddcjohnson He most certainly was, Todd.

[@toddcjohnson]

@@travzimmerman1340 I don't disagree that his mental health was not in a good spot at this point in time. Probably worse than a year or two before this. But 'happy go lucky' is not an accurate description of what he was. He was always a shy, brooding and introspective individual. Look at the bands/albums he cites as influential in his young life. Listen to what he says went on his early life. etc.
