I remember the first time I saw this video on MTV about 9 years ago, it blew me away. I was just a kid getting into proper music and this just tore up everything I thought I knew about music. Amazing.
Damn! amazing. how great would it have been to be that camera guy (who waved). You're actually getting paid to watch Pearl Jam smoke it out of the park (they f#cking nailed this song), and there's no audience, like it's your own private performance. f%cking sweet.
the announcer- what's his name don't care- looks so hard. hate that they were allowed to rule the world. Early Pearl Jam should!! Always, especially, Eddie!
@getthefuckoutofhere1 the problem was that Cobain was found dead a week ago of that performance, and Ed was really sad and angry about it, so he had to handle the fact that his friend couldn't make, so it wasn't easy for him
@getthefuckoutofhere1 It's a rehearsal bigdog I'm sure he got a lot of love during the actual performance...Not to mention-after all the love he's gotten in his amazing career; I think his cup overfloweth with it
Ever since Cobain shot himself you can hear a difference in Eddie's voice. Angrier, deeper, more strained, not necessarily better or worse...just different.
God, I miss Pearl Jam!! Did these guys ever had a bad moment?! It seems like they could turn anything into magic. Hope human spirit will evolve once again to come up with something that will come somewhat close to this music.
@mikehowton707 This was only a short time after Kurt Cobain died and the band took it hard. At the end of the episode, Eddie flashes a "K" on his t-shirt in honor of Kurt.
Great time for Music when bands went on SNL and really played there own instruments instead of lip synced . I was in Flight school for the Navy when this came out hated the whole grunge look but this music kicked ass compared to all the metro sexual bi curious make up wearing bands of the present the Killers come to mind along with timberlake. Pearl Jam is like Rush they have there own following no need for MTV to make them trendy.
@Eifler121 It was called Grunge back in the day which I don't expect you to remember seeing how you where pushed out of the womb a year before this aired. It involved wearing a lot of flannel shirts army pants for shorts basically you looked like you haven't showered for a couple days. Pearl Jam never lost popularity they just didn't want to be apart of the whole phony MTV crowd and instead they make music that they want to make. Compare this to Ashlee Simpson lip sync performance no contest.
@RGpranin No, I understand, however it's a myth. I think so anyway. In this video alone, you have jeans, a sports windbreaker, sweatpants, t shirts. Look at Soundgarden videos, no flanels, mostly jeans. Flanels have always been in anyway, except for the 80's. Also, Pearl Jam or Soundgarden never gave me the not showered feel- I'll give you Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain. I don't disagree about the performance, however there isn't realy a grunge look, and really most grunge bands sound way differen
This is just a rehersal before they really played later on that night. But then again the cd that came out after this, the drummer(Dave Abbrusse) left so synergy did have something to do w/this performance in retrospect.
yeah it was the whole band. vedderr got mad at dave for wanting to buy a sports car. wich was bullshit. i mean, i love pearl jam, but cmon its his money.
ho for god sake i full of this stupid questions...are you retard.....well probablly in your boody mind,i got my opinion.....and i always keep her becauses pearl jam always be the shadow for nirvana.why make now pearl jam better only because they still recording....and nirvana don`t that`s right pearl jam is the best of grunge just when kurt dies and nirvana desapiar.......i didn`t say before nothing awfull about pearl jam.........you fucking moron
i seem to look away wounds in the mirror waved it wasn't my surface most defiled head at your feet, fool to your crown fist on my plate, swallowed it down enmity gauged, united by fear tried to endure what i could not forgive saw things saw things saw things saw things clearer clearer
once you, were in my... rearview mirror... i gather speed from you fucking with me once and for all i'm far away i hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised... saw things so much clearer once you, once you... rearviewmirror... saw things so much clearer once you, once you... rearviewmirror...
♪ONCE YOUUUUUU Were in my rearviewmirroooooooooor! ♪ Min 4:08
simply amazing, PJ is Awesome and yes, we all miss Dave Abruzesse...his style in the drums gave PJ that extra amazingness....(check the mtv unplugged - porch, he keeps using the clash and splashs more than drums with such an amazing talent).
Don't know about the rear view mirror, but Vedder's vocals were inside the engine at 4.13!! That's a vocal note I could listen to forever, jeez look at his whole body jerk to hit it!!

I've been in bands with "overplaying" drummers, and Dave was not one of them.

If playing to the song is the issue of the day, Dave had it mastered.
