To all the people asking why the crowd booed when Eddie introduced the keyboard player...they weren't booing...it's a PJ concert tradition when Eddie introduces Boom Gaspar (on keyboard), the crowd goes "Booooooooommm".....

First song I was in love and awe immediately, while some thought they were just posers riding on nirvana's coat tails, how wrong they were. I'm not always right but happy to say I was on this one lol.

[@briangalindoherbert]

I loved their first album, ten, then I drifted away from them over the years. then I got sirius radio in my car and they started a Pearl Jam station 2 or 3 years ago. Pearl Jam is one of my favorite 'band' channels that I flip between when driving, the concert replays from all over the world going back to 1992 are awesome. Eddie and other band members occasionally do audience call-ins and stuff, whenever I've heard him on sirius, Eddie has been cool about taking questions but he'll also joke around with callers, no big rock star ego or anything. I like they have that legacy of going up against Ticketmaster (even though they lost). Eddie and the band will def call 'bullshit' when they see it, that is the true spirit of a rocker to me!

I'm 39 now, I've been listening to this band since I was 11 and my older brother turned me onto them after watching Even Flow air on Much Music in Canada when they used to play music! Good memories! Thanks PJ! Long live rock n roll!

[@debbieduplessis2337]

My son who is in his 40s loves them little did he know his mom also was a huge fan no generation gap lol

[@MARK-kp7ez]

I never get sick of hearing these great songs, over and over.

[@blaineburns9957]

Pure class , and introducing Boom.....Thanks Eddie. Perfection period!

[@simonedevlin7710]

Boom Gaspar is in Eddie's words"Hawaiian manna'.The most amazing keyboardist since the late great "Ray Manzarek".

[@showtime951]

I don't understand. Why again, is the Big Mana not in the Hall?

[@jimcudasnyder]

I watched Singles again the other night. 1992. So many crazy world events were swirling at that time and PJ were radiating their success from 10 to an insurmountable wave of musical frenzy. Smart man that Cameron Crowe to book Jeff, Stone, and Eddie in the flick. It is such fun to look back at Pearl Jam's inception and subsequent prolific evolution to a 3 decade legacy. What exceptionally gifted gentlemen they are to sustain in this business and to consistently keep their fan flock together over several generations. Vitalogy has aged quite well. So have you, sons of Seattle.

Omg! We all grow old... we can’t stop time but we can remember the times when we were young and enjoyed this bad ass song!!

[@nurseaylla]

I fucking cried watching this last year, they so deserved the induction!!

[@mollymckay7417]

As if Eddie could dig deeper into my heart than before- his references to Bruce Springsteen and the E-street band show his reverence and respect for that other group of artists who can make me feel this much.

[@soterocabahug8564]

I am now 35 but when i was young, back when i was starting to like rock music i didn't appreciate and listen to their music as much except their "Last Kiss". I was more into punk rock songs and new stuff... but as i get older, though still into punk rock... and i listen to the old albums and tracks of Pearl Jam, it was like "these songs will continue to live on until i have grand kids"... it hit me like i was saying to myself "why the hell did i not pay attention to their music back the early days". But still i am grateful that i can still hear their music and have known the band Pearl Jam.

Perfection

[@SXI96]

Seeing the vid of Eddie singing this in 1989 with Bad Radio and then at the HOF is incredible, this man was born to sing, what a song!

[@MAgaSUXX]

I had a magical summer flying a rock band "Pearl Jam"..picked them up in Seattle..had heard of them but didn't know their music so I bought the cD 10...and we started a 25 show tour ..this was the summer of 2000. We would leave after the concert ended so were flying at 2 am a lot...so I would go back and "chat" with the roadies who sat next to the kitchen (galley)...and I asked "how is the band doing?" they would say "fine" and we talked about normal shit...and ate pizza rolls, finger foods..bullshitting...these 2 guys were great ...and later I found out they were "eddie and stone"...ha ha...it was wonderful to meet them not knowing they were so FAMOUS...and they were just incredibly "humble"..not full of themselves...interested in my world..not just theirs...so I stayed a fan my entire life..and reinforce wht most PJ fans probably already know about them. Peace.

[@christophernelson9360]

Forever brother... you know me from the Sit and Spin in Seattle from '91. Carried me me thru PTSD from the SeAl's. thank you. Watched you when you and Chris, Kurt and Teen weren't popular...and then I'm so proud of you! Hunger Strike and breaking thru my man! you did it.

[@allensummerour3967]

I watched this live on HBO and it blew my hair back. It still blows my hair back every time I watch it. Just wish my hair aged as well as Eddie’s did.

[@danielleladuke5888]

I just do not feel as old as these songs are until I look at myself in the mirror- I love Life and I know I'm really old as Dirt. I Love these songs!!

[@Vailover4ever]

His voice is still as strong as way back in the 90's, he always seems to be such a terrific human being.

[@justinchellis3959]

2019 still enjoy listening to pearl jam

[@melihavoc]

before i die i want to hug him. this band and his voice has been in my life for yeeaaarrrsss. im 35 now and will be 36 in a couple months. i need to put his out in the universe to try to make it happen.

[@mikey_suzefour]

I want to do the same with Sting--He and The Police were my voice in the 80's, my way to live through his solos from 1986-Present. @Meli Havoc
