Pearl Jam - 1991-09-30 San Francisco, CA (Full Concert)

[@evanisovich]

I swear, sometimes I forget just how spoiled rotten we are to watch all of these amazing older shows at the touch of a button. If I happened to stumble across this video in 1991-1992, I probably would’ve shit my pants.

My late uncle was the primary filmer of the majority of these early Pearl Jam shows that have been circulated. There are of course many others that have not been circulated. He was young and worked in the field of Journalism and he became very friendly with many of these bands and was able to film with permission and travel the country. We know for a fact that Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam was one of the primary artists that allowed him to film with permission. We have many of his old backstage passes and laminates. I'm kind of new to this live music sharing thing but I'm sure it's some point I will share more of his collection and I'm sure he would have had he lived longer.

[@pearljamconcertchronology]

Wow awesome! I'm working with pearljamconcertchronology.com. Any chance I can help you out? Cheers!

[@anitarushlow4022]

Thanks for sharing this with us. God bless you and your uncle and he is surely in Heaven for sharing the magic of Pearl Jam with us. Those of us who couldn't be there in person but were and are still with them in spirit. Does your uncle happen to be pjvideoguy? If so, he is a true hero in my book.

@@pearljamconcertchronology . . . hiya did you ever connect with family that has additional and original PJ footage by chance? I would and 'am' dying for THE concert at The Town Pump Sept 26 1991--Vancouver. I am sure it didn't happen though in my heart of hearts. It was the most chaotic of small spaces with Eddie and boys on tiniest stage. We were covered in their sweat and I am forever grateful for going {missing an exam the next day} and hearing I Gotta Feeling for FIRST time ever in public setting...they then played it in San Fran just thereafter.

[@pearljamconcertchronology]

@@abeach5420 Unfortunately I haven't been able to get in touch with The Jay-Bird... Do you remember any other songs performed that night at The Town Pump? Cheers!

[@abeach5420]

@@pearljamconcertchronology That is too bad you could not connect. Can you 'imagine' the content there would be!? Well it was a time they were touring TEN as it did well of course on West Coast, but as we all know it really came to be recognized well after into the next year. They had already been here with 'my' Layne {Alice in Chains)...THAT was a trip because {as we know NOW} PJ was advertised as their original name --MOOKIE BLAYLOCK. Many of us who travelled incessantly up and down West Coast to go see all the bands around 86--onward 'DID' know them as this name. Pearl Jam only changed their name like around Easter of 1991 I believe it was. Also I recall hearing from band that 'ten' was Mookie Blaylock's jersey number so that is why it was chosen. to honor/honour him. The set list that night was very TEN album focussed of course, but some songs they appeared to play didn't appear unless on special TEN albums like reissue. Just A Girl was played also I am quite sure --I remember not knowing of it and not til way later in 1991. I believe it was 9 songs in the set. It was a crazy immense night and a long time back, but one never forgets poignant moments of personal feelings & events of that night. Also due to the mosh pit in tight space with about 95% or more of people being males...well you can imagine. Also this was not a 'pitch/feedback free zone' in that tiny old space so sometimes it was hard to hear everything. Lastly it felt 'Alone' was ...different... but there now appear to be 4 versions of such, so that could make sense.

There’s no denying the pure awesomeness that is Mike McCready .

cool seeing/hearing Stone and Jeff sing the harmonies on Garden. I've actually never seen them do that before. Must of been short lived..

[@jpkinney7]

33:50 Killer Conversation!!!

[@simonedevlin7710]

"Once" has the feel and haunting spirit of the late Jim Morrison. " Even Flow" oozes psychedelic excitement generated in guitar riffs and drumming. More poetry in spontaneous stream of consciousness with Eddie. "State of Love and Trust" electrifies the ascension of higher consciousness.One of the best versions of "Alive" to be performed live with passion and indignation.So much divine talent brilliantly showcased in the city of enlightenment." Stone Gossard's composition "Garden" makes earth angels wanton of flight.Eddie seems to get into a shamanic trance.

[@virginiaknighten4687]

And we love it all...

[@bytorz]

I remember this show. A few friends and myself rode our choppers to this show. Never heard of them. We always got in free because we new Vinnie the door man. This night was a little different. I noticed a few vip tables . I just thought it was another A&R show. By the time Pearl Jam came out the place was packed. I was up front off to the side so i could get a good view of the drummer. By there second song i was looking around the room to make sure i was not the only one who was blown away by these guys. The new scene has begun in frisco and it was a blast.

I know this is 91 right before they break huge, but 1992 Pearl Jam has to rank high on the list of greatest bands at their best, like 73-74 Zeppelin, Queen 1985, for example. Even though they're young, they were fantastic. You see that developing here.

[@justingardner4658]

Absolutely !!!

From the non existent lead guitar levels to the constant feedback from Eddie’s mic, it’s clear that club’s sound engineers were incompetent… if they had any to begin with. A shame because that version of Wash (even w/ the mic feedback) showed it had the makings of a great show.

He went after somebody in the crowd, drops the mic in mid singing and leaps over the people in front to get at someone, that's why the crew went in after him. Earlier he was telling someone in the crowd to stop it, maybe he was policing them himself.
