Wow I have such an appreciation for Eddie's voice. I am so fascinated by Pearl Jam during this time in their career.

[@pyrosteria9864]

1991-1994 was their prime

[@andreagibson1332]

Me too

[@juliereid4687]

Agreed!! So happy to have stumbled across this early pearl jam session

[@joandrumz3176]

I love Eddie's voice so much. Has this really unique own sound. Amazingly soothing deep and beautifully high. Cutting distortion, strong and angry sounding in the one second and so fragile in the other. Not to mention that Eddie Vedder probably also is the most attractive individual I've ever seen.

[@mariemarquez2480]

Me too I was mesmerized

[@sheldon6248]

Ya I hear I'm still alive 🥴. It's good to be alive and listening to the band that sparked an energy into my life 32 years ago on my first date with my wife when she asked if I would put this new CD in my CD player in my 64 VW bug ☺️ rest is history as I married that woman and now have 5 amazing daughters 28 yrs to 15 yrs old. Life has had its ups and downs but I live on the same beach I grew up on surf it daily and spend my off time with that amazing woman I married blasting pearl jam's music👍 Yep, it's good to be alive! Thanks pearl jam for all the years of amazing music!

[@wspek]

You're a rich man, my friend.

[@miketilton6393]

Did your PJ cd skip alot too, like everyone's back then? Especially those car cd players...

[@sheldon6248]

My bug was dropped and the suspension was pretty rigid and it did affect the CD player 😂. Laughing thinking about it lol. Can't wait for PJ s new album to be released and their next tour in 2024😁👍. The new album is supposed to be similar to their early stuff, Ten, Vs, vitology 👍. These guys are still rocking and going strong!

[@dougzembiec9995]

The amazing thing about hearing Black here is to think 6 months earlier it never even existed

[@jamjar5525]

Doug Zembiec more like 12months. They wrote it in 1990

[@joandrumz3176]

This is fucking amazing, like Eddie doesn't even have to try to sound amazing. Gotta love this pre-"fame" era!

[@kelly-us5ki]

4:32 how amazing is how his voice changes in seconds.

[@dannybohy]

Not many singers can carry a set in that kind of sparse setting.

[@lisagd22]

Yeah, the acoustics in a record store aren't great. His voice was so powerful that he could sing as loud without the mike as with it. This was the beginning of the prime years for his voice. (His looks too. I wish I could go back to those years and stop time.)

[@djl8085]

He can never stand still, like the waves of the ocean 😂❤

[@executenwordusers]

[@lesliedellinger2335]

After 30 years I’m going to call it official….I will always and forever be mesmerized and love with EV. His voice, his look, his kind soul….💓💓💓💓

[@NamathCB]

I'm a married man (to a woman) and agree. :);) that voice, attitude and mind. So thankful he and the guys came together so they could write all the gems they have together. ✌️💜🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

I just discovered them and i for some reason cant stop crying. When he pulls away from the mic only to yell his heart out I just cant help but do the same from the inside.

[@SpanishGoddessDiamond]

Eddie is so amazing and honestly I can't watch him without crying lol

[@leinonibishop9480]

Welcome to the Jamily. It’s great to see new people discovering Pearl Jam. There are hundreds of their bootleg videos here on KZbin from their very first concert Oct. 1990, up to this year. Pinkpop ‘92 and their mtv unplugged set are iconic. And I highly recommend ‘Release’ live in Holland 1992. Enjoy!

[@lizosaurusrex]

Yep, it happens to all of us, and it never goes away

[@marcus_fns]

It happened with me 32 year earlier.😅

[@Laneybugg3]

They’ve been in my realm for years but I have recently given them more attention and completely understand what you mean. I seriously cry now when I listen to certain songs and love the “Release” I feel afterwards. So happy that they’re still around and would love to see them live one day. Love how someone else commented “welcome to the JAMily!” 😂 Yes anyone who feels this way about PJ is definitely “my people”. ❤

[@thejay-bird2581]

I also filmed this show to the far left. Not sure if anyone else ever uploaded it but if not I will.

[@PH-yo6fz]

His performance of Black here is surprisingly similar to their MTV unplugged version of it.

[@sweetangel6630]

That performance of Wash was absolutely insane. The entire thing was. Eddie’s voice is otherworldly. I love all of them and they all amaze me every time but Eddie really blew me away in this one.

[@Ingrid85_]

Man I love this! Too bad I was only six years old in '91, a bit to young to witness Pearl Jam live 😅. So happy there is this kind of footage of their early 90ies days, in my opinion the best Pearl Jam era ❤️❤️❤️

[@metalmellie4371]

Well this was during the time they were blowing up. There "album" 10 Ten was brand new and the bullet attached to it's ass had added TNT to it making them ultimately legendary. Yes, this was their magical time.

[@p.l.foerster7709]

I was actually there it was totally amazing there was only about 90 people there and I'm so glad somebody got on tape if you look on the right hand side there's a girl with red hair and a leather jacket and a temple the dog t-shirt. And that's my friend Kathy and she worked for BMG and I had a record store then works for polygram that was new in town and I just found a website to go did I say there's only about 90 people there and the acoustics were surprisingly really good and when he got up on the drum kit oh sorry my friend Kathy and if you look behind I don't have blonde hair anymore but behind her I'm wearing a peacoat with long curly blonde hair and there's a girl next to me with a leopard shirt or jacket so check it out it's pretty cool not that not to brag but it's it was pretty awesome thank you

[@jasoncornell3800]

All you had to say was that you’re old. No long explanation needed! Haha, just jk. Same age. Awesome that you got to witness that. I knew all the people at BMG, 99.1, kemp mill, record & tape traders, polygram, etc… small world

[@user-ej2xz2sw1w]

I’ve got a cool story about Eddie Vedder. First I worked for an insurance company back in the day in the special lines field and remember actually speaking to Eddie about his boat policy! He said enjoyed calling instead of his agent! Very down to Earth and later we were able to meet at a Seattle Pearl Jam show so he was able to put a face to the voice on the phone 📱. ILL NEVER FORGET IT! RIP CHRIS CORNELL. The Seattle scene in the early 1990’s is unsurpassed by anything going on today!

Wow. What a treasure find! And wow, what a difference a mic with current makes, can appreciate the nuances of the vocals. His voice is pure gold on Black and Alive.

Jeebus, I grew up in Rockville, MD and had no idea they played there - I was too stupid then to notice them. What a blown opportunity for me, but it's so cool they were there! I could tell right off that was Tower Records - which sadly closed - I think not long after that wonderful performance. What a great record store it was. I think there's a Container Store there now - at Congressional Plaza on Rockville Pike. Thank you PJ for stopping by my home town!

[@YettiManChannel84]

I'm from PG County (Prince George's for those who don't know) County, Maryland. I grew up mainly in the Greenbelt, Landover Hills area. I was only 7 years old at that time so way too young to even know who PJ was then. I did know and loved Nirvana at that time due to my friends Father buying and playing Nevermind a lot.

Funny Eddie joked about getting a Bernard King tattoo. King starred for the local Bullets team around that time, so Eddie must have been a big hoops fan. Well obviously - since they named themselves Mookie Blaylock.

[@p.l.foerster7709]

Also I had a backstage pass that somebody from Sony gave me and Eddie took my book letters to Young poet. And went out to dinner with Dave Avery's he's not with him anymore and Mike McCready and then took Dave Avery to get a tattoo of the little man on his ankle I wish I guess he doesn't want it anymore I have no idea but that was pretty cool and the show is at the University of Maryland and it was a really good show I was about 1000 people anyway that's my story

I’m convinced that Stone Gossard is not the same person today… Today’s Stone Gossard looks like Michael Bolton from office space while the old Stone Gossard had a totally different book and attitude

[@thesecondYouTube]

That's an interesting point of view. In 1995 he was still funky and young with the dyed blond hair and carefree attitude. (I think he looked best in 1992 with long hair and mustache, him and Jeff with his hats looked like Grunge superheroes) Something happened in 1996 besides turning 30 to change Stone.
