Porch - Late Show With David Letterman - Pearl Jam

[@lancelowery4027]

Sorry but for me PJ is the greatest live band ever. I saw them in 92 when they were breaking and that was a spiritual experience. They played Porch for like 25 minutes while Eddy climbed hand over hand through the rafters at Riverport Amphitheater then Jesus pose fell 20 feet into the waiting arms of fans. The place was pure electricity. Never felt the universe vibrate like that again. It was like nothing I had ever heard before or since.

I also had the privilege to witness PJ in their beginning 92 and 94. I've never seen them live again. I'd rather keep those 2 concerts in my memory forever. ❤️

[@hadapuff]

@@mariemarquez2480 oh Marie, you're missing out, I've seen them in 1996 first time and many times since, including twice in hyde park in London in 2022 - every time a different experience, every time like a bolt from the sky rekindling the love for this band, go when you get a chance next time they tour, it won't erase your 1992-94 memories, I promise!

Kareeme. / Yep !!! He rocks.... I wanted 2 Go See em' Not Long Ago & it was right b4 this new album & the 2020 Tours. I keep thinking.... 🤔 We've ALL gotten older. Wonder how thy will be Live Now. Last time I saw them in person thy Opened Up for U2 but even on Most all Clips Mike was a WILD MAN. Back Then it WAS the early 90's & his bff was the drummer & fired in 94' (Abburzzese) Back 2 my point - He was wild & I'm thinking How's this gonna Go ? He's 50 Somthg now & has 3 children. I was Truely thinking.... I sudn't except too much "movement" becas as I said we're all 50 Somthg now.... well, as many of U know already - MIKE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT... He WUD still jump high as he Cud & Run around the Stage.... Crazy & Fun. A little calmed down 2 the haydays of their peek but NOT Enough 2 Feel disappointed. What an entertainer. 😎

[@MANIKO5]

He does indeed.

[@bellabell5655]

Canada Here/ C.H. - U can "seriously" believe That. Its UR prerogative BUT.... here's a few 'FACTS' U NEED 2 Know. He May "Summon" Some Spirits all right from an 'Alternate Universe' but it's probably just "Hell" As Ur boy Eddie is a Self Proclaimed ATHEIST. He Speaks of it once in awhile & U can Google IT & Hear him talk of it Himself !!! His wife Jill, practices Wicca & She Speaks of That Sometimes herself. She Posted a Recent (April 2020' I believe) while talking about the 'Covid19' Virus. She was "Thanking a Fan" for a gift box left at her Door. It had a Book about Wicca & Some Other thgs of that "Believe" in the Open Box 2 "Help her Pass Some Home Time while Social Distancing" U can See the box & Some of the Thgs in it in the Posted Video on her acct. Anyway - There U Go. Check it Out. The Summoning He's Doing that U Speak Of IS 100% NOT for the Good Angel Michael.... The Energy He Is Pulling from Is Coming from Somthg Else & Most Likely > ITs The Dark Side !!! But we Just Don't let Ourselfs Think of that As We Dance & Move 2 the Music we Love from Pearl Jam !!! (NOW... Don't be MAD at the Messager) It's Spoke of from their Own mouths.

[@dstrvyer69]

I like when the high-school guitar player at the beginning of the song finally puts it down and lets the two professional guitar players behind him take over so he can just sing... that's kinda when it become a song.

[@NicolasMartinez-ll1no]

first off I absolutely LOVE ur pro pic as a Rocky Balboa superfan GOAT movie for me even after 300 viewings Heat is 2nd for me but who is he fighting In ur pic I can't see it well n I know it's now Creed even though Rock is wearing his trunks from the first fight n now to ur year old comment lol ...I know u must be a super big PJ fan but ur statement is idk WOW. that's puttin them over Led Zeppelin the Stones the Who the Smith the Beatles my boy Springsteen on n on I would have to say no matter wat genre ur into PJ has to be included in the Top 20 bands of all time. that's sayin since 1950 something since the first "band" I ever knew about has to be the Crickets of Buddy Holly BC after that the true definition of a band has to be in Rock and Roll since I don't remember there being anything such as a band before Holly unless we r gonna include a jazz ensemble as a band. after Holly it's maybe the Comets from Bill Haley. then u get into the Beatles n so forth. Chuck Berry didn't have a name for his backin band n studio musicians can be included but not until the Wrecking Crew can I think of one. bottom line we r sayin from 1955 or so until Oct 2017 if PJ isn't someone's #1 choice they without a doubt have to be in ANYONE's Top 15-20 if not higher. but takin live performance, musical ability, tightness, n overall sound they r definitely there but #1 man I just don't know. just my humble opinion is all. I definitely think to me they r in the top 7 BC of all those things I previously mentioned and tenture. their longevity with original lineup or close to is unbelievable. this is definitely not to argue or anything it's just to have a discussion with u if ur speaking as a bias fan or I would like to hear why u put them above all those classic bands n classic bands period why would u jump them to #1 so easily is all I'm asking. I would love to hear from u.thank u n again I completely understand ur opinion n respect it I'm just curious is all thanks!

Dude, what?!?!?! Everyone that knows KNOWS Mike McFuckinCready is a guitar god!!!! Exactly like JacobShapiro said, he does his part, and keeps it well rounded, as Pearl Jam is a 5 piece band where each member fills their roll. There's big time execs and managers labeling Mike as simply "lead guitar," doing what 'they think' is going to be radio friendly and sells, when it comes to a juggernaut like Pearl Jam. Now take Mad Season. That's where Mike was a main staple, writing the music and songs with Layne, which for the short time they jammed, Mike having NO big leash from record execs keeping him boxed in. He was able to truly shine, and shine he did!!!
