Pearl Jam - Rats (SBD) - 4.12.94 Orpheum Theater, Boston, MA

[@gnuiznotranjske]

Dave is actually a kind of drum wizard. Without him, Pearl Jam were never the same ...

[@bassnebula93]

Dave A. drumming really gave to pearl jam something to love and something we all miss.

[@Wickedcaveman77]

The sound is amazing for a live recording done in 94!

[@w1ldflwr572]

It’s a sound board, dude. 😉

[@kathrineckardt2869]

There is no reason why a soundrecording through a soundpanel should be bad quality. Microphones and soundtransmission don´t have the same problems as videorecorders.

[@robertprice5243]

Best sleeper song they put out. You know that bass line sweet as f***

[@ericchaves9250]

ohhh that bass line

[@h00liganismo1]

Dave's clean footwork and crazy tight snare (not to mention punk and thrash-inspired musical contributions) are why "Vitalogy" and "Vs" are by far their most energetic and dare I say it, funky albums. He steals the show here.

[@IDieHardForever]

100%. He's the most Dave Grohl of the PJ drummers I think. Really comes up with interesting patterns that are almost melodies that perfectly fit what's going on. And he does it HARD with almost a metal sensibility.

[@oscarsolis6008]

He’s Dave abbruzzese, no dave grohl

SO.... how much would YOU pay to see Dave Abbruzzese play with them again? I would have paid a ton. ...oh well.

Agreed. Seen them 25 times since 91 and the shows with Dave behind thr kit were hands down the best shows. He brought so much fire to their sets

I love the Orpheum! I have seen Slayer/Deftones/Misfits/Megadeth and tons of others there. It's one of the greatest places for a live show. The floor is a few steps down from the bar area. You can get right to the front or join the 100 mph chaos in the pit just behind you. What an amazing place.

truckdaddy You’re not alone. 7 years later there’s surely many of us!

[@lucasantoro4203]

It still kills me inside. Especially how and why they got rid of him. They produced their best and highest selling material with him. He even drummed them to number 1 in the American Billboard. He was so easy going, consistently amazing and comfortable. He's usually popping a huge grin while performing and the chemistry was very apparent. It's sad when it becomes NOT about the music anymore and petty personal BS.

[@SXI96]

He added something incredibly special to the music with his drumming, it still resonates with me the same way it did back in high school in the early 90's.. he was a fucking great drummer for Pearl Jam, easily the best period for the band

[@yuneappel8867]

@@lucasantoro4203 I wouldn’t call it petty bs though. Different political views in a pretty political band is kind of hard

@hutuguru81 right man!!!

[@luigicapone2]

why left Abbruzzese ? :(

[@warborn_inc.]

Fired because of Ed....

[@justhadrums]

Ive heard two different reasons why: One was he posed on the cover of a drum mag after they agreed not to appear without the full band and the other was that he liked George bush sr. and was from Texas. My guess is that the band couldn't handle the cymballiness. It was just too cymbally for them - cymbalistic and full of cymbalism quite cymbly

[@sturost3769]

Ed was such a twat having Dave fired.

[@victordominguez6897]

[@hutuguru81]

@luiscurtolo too right! have you read five against one? dave got tottally shafted coz eddie didnt like him! the traditional reasons for firing a drummer are hes fucked on drugs or hes shit... dave just rubbed ed the wrong way and weve all payed the price since. im sure matt cameron is a great guy, but he dont have the grooooove baby, dave 'occus' abbruzzese we love you

[@luiscurtolo]

FOR me, dumb is to think Cameron is better in PJ than Dave... thts tipically wrong idea that "true pj fans" kinda punch in their minds to make them feel better about themselves. He wont ever have this grooving like in this song. listen to State of love... cameron makes it look like pop music. And unfortunaly for Ed, daves grooving and creativity brought PJ where they were in late 94. They say PJ evolved? For me, Backspacer is like Wallmart shit Album. Long live the real ol'PJ...

[@rannz8]

@Ty Shakur absolutely

[@carai6083]

I don't know why so many people love this version. Eddie's throat was obviously pretty dry during this performance because he had a lot of trouble hitting the high notes, especially in the 2nd chorus his voice sounds all strangled

[@evanisovich]

The main reason why I love this version of Rats is for the rare solo by Stone, starting around 1:45. It's funny to see the camera operator pan over to Mike, see that it's not him soloing, and (assumedly) surprised that it's *not* Mike, but *Stone* doing the solo. Classic.

[@juanchopj]

cause this were the best fucking pearl jam era!

[@geriw8412]

C Arai ok coach

[@lisagd22]

These were Eddie's prime screaming years. All I can think when I hear him is what kind of damage he's doing to his voice. I know singers' voices aren't as good in their later years, but I wonder how his voice today would be if not for all the screaming.

[@trimbie2]

@SoberFoe37 tend to agree with you on not paying for the same album...but you're so far off on there only being two albums. Vitalogy and No Code are equals to Ten and VS. They've evolved since then. And in reality this is a live band anyway. Gotta be there in the moment at the show is what I'm trying to say.

[@SoberFoe37]

@trimbie2 You might think Vitology and No Code are equally as good. I don't, and album sales will never match the numbers ten and Vs. put up. Every song on Ten and Vs. was good. Vitology has heyfoxymophandlemama. Not good. A wasted track that fans had to buy. Vitology will never be as good because of that one track. Everything changed on No Code. Totally different band. Saw them live in mid '90's twice, saw em twice in 2000's. No comparison.
