Mais uma grande performance do grande artista Neil Young . E legal tambem ver uma banda de jovens ( na epoca ) como o Pearl Jam fazendo uma , literalmente , quebradeira ao lado do rodado e consagrado artista canadense.
Like several of the other posts... this was one of those "Oh My God" moments of my youth. Still gives me chills. So raw and real... amazing! Thank you Neil!
This is when MTV was still good. I didn't really know who Young was, but when I heard him rock out with Pearl Jam I went out & bought a couple of his tapes at Camelot Music.
I returned the Young albums the next day. Ha!
I really miss going to Camelot or National Rec. & searching for hours. Being able to listen to what seemed like an endless # of albums & singles. It made buying new music an event. I feel like I had a broader musical & band awareness then. Damn you Internet, you made me jaded.
Back before reality tv, back when music was good, when teenagers played instruments instead of world of warcraft. I doubt very highly we'll ever see another music explosion like this unless you can find some kids and let them live under a rock with no tv, no internet, and just instruments.
Mr.Young. Now there is a musical icon. I've listened to him for over 30 years now. One of my favorites. He always stays true to himself and and has the balls to stand up for his beliefs. I saw Neil Young & PJ in Prtld., OR. late '90's. 4 rows back from front, center stage. When they got to this song, Neil Young had the same energy just seen on this video. It was an amazing performance. It was one of those moments in life that makes for an incredible memory.
Timeless... I was born in the early 80's and these are 2 of my all time favourite acts. It's tough in Australia, but I've seen them both on more than a handful of occasions.
So in breif: I truly believe if you wanna raise good children, black or white, introduce em to the sounds of a more enlightened era. Fuck these trendy videos and meaningless artists. I'm glad I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I feel sorry for these kids cause the one way to escape thru music for them is empty. And I mean all of their music. Even rock is lame now. They think Pink and Lady Gaga is cutting edge. Lol. I just have to laugh. Alrite I'm done. Peace!
@machokingwwf Couldn´t agree more, I grew up in the 90´s and my dad introduced me to this music, it´s practically the first thing I heard. I´ve been `indoctrinated`` with this music, and I love it!
When I grew up in the 80s in my house it was RUN DMC, NWA, and Public Enemy. My idea of rock was Motley Crue and Poison, who I found pretty gay. I had no idea of Metallica or Ozzy, let alone heroes like Zeppelin and Tom Petty. Grunge introduced me to a whole new world in music. And as rap got lamer I was solidly a classic rock student. My friends couldn't BEGIN to comprehend how cool 70s rock was and is. I'm just glad I rose above the bullshit. Thank You Rock for freeing my soul.
I was 15 when this hit. I was a big rap fan then. I liked PJ. But when they said Neil Young was joining them I thought they were crazy. I was thinking of Neil Diamond. But this is def. a landmark in MTV history. Made me a Neil Young fan and beyond. I started my trek into classic rock and I never looked back. Truly inspiring.
I would find it rather hard to be on stage with Neil Young, the way he spazes out when he plays, he definitely gets into the music,cool video...Pearl Jam and Neil Young great combo.
hehhee.. neil never showed up to any of the practices or anything.. he showed up at the awards like 2 minutes before they were to hit the stage and just said let's rock.. got up there with pearl jam who were all like... this is really wingin it... and they rocked..
I remember this as a time when MTV was still worth watching.. now we have real world and road rules and teenage mother and crap like that. It should be called CTV... Crap TeleVision
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too. Only one performance that I liked more was Nirvana performing Lithium... starting out with the "Rape Me" intro.
what I really always liked about this song, was the intonation of Eddie is slightly different from Neil's whaen singing "Keep on..." It's like an opposite intonation which creates enchanting effect on listener...
Man...I was 11 at the time and just starting my way with grunge and good old rock. But seeing it now, it just breaks my heart that the music which we have now is so meaningless and , well, stupid. This video shows that our times was soooo much better than now!
I'm surprised the lame retards at MTV allowed such good music through their system. I guess they hadn't yet purged their ranks of execs that knew what real music was.
Boy, sitting there, must've been 15. Being a Pearl Jam fan, and also a recent Neil Young acolyte, this was a meeting of the gods for me. And it's interesting, this is about the slowest temp he ever took this song at, and it still works! And that chord that Neil hits at 4:02 is about the grungiest thing ever!
I would have been 13 or 14 when this aired and i would have fucking shit my pants when i saw it, now just watching Neil smash the fuck out of his Gretsch makes me wanna put on long shorts combat boots and a flannel shirt and shit my pants again. FUCK. YES. Sometimes i shake my head and say no, no, no, dont stop the rock!
Damn, i recorded this on VHS back when it first aired. Still have it,tho'.Won't get rid of all the stuff like this i recorded back in days of noisey guitars,heartfelt lyrics,when su8bstance mattered most!
At 3:45 is there some type of technical difficulty with the amps or something...Neils guitar seems to stop abruptly and squeals. And if you watch Neils face he looks surprised as if he wasn't expecting it and then he pauses for a second and continues.
I was watching this that night (have it taped on VHS) I was 19 yrs old & Pearl Jam & grunge was such a breath of fresh air after suffering through gangsta rap & hair bands. Clinton had just been inaugurated, grunge was hip, things were good, we thought we were gonna change the world. What a great time to be a young adult. Unfortunately music right now is dead, no "happenings" like it was back then. Plus MTV doesn't even play music anymore.
These kinds of statements are ignorant and are the REASON things are bleak... because oldies keep telling young people 'everything was so much better when...' when it just is NOT true. Pearl Jam are/were an awful trad 70s band. Yuch.
Pearl Jam has nothing to do with 70's sport...these statements of youngsters are just NOT true...you think if you drop a date 30-40 years behind you have any point? read about the band then talk ....
I am enjoying these viewer's comments. True, MTV USED to Rock & Eddie Vedder is feeling the MOJO vibe. I wanted to add that Neil Young was kicking some ass on stage that day. Pearl Jam had to stay sharp to keep up with him.
Neil Young and Pearl Jam together again would like none other. Alos i so Neil Young at the Chevy theater in CT on Dec. 15 2007 it was more than i expected.
i remember seein this live, too. blew me away. i already really liked both pearl jam and neil young, but after seein' this it cemented neil young as one of my favorite guitarists. he freakin' kills, and he's not even playing all flashy and technical, he's just bending the crap outta notes! freakin' amazing.
Hey I actually saw this live on tv way back in the day. Was it '92 or '93? It was on the MTV music awards. I love the band as much today as I did when I was 14! Greatest Band in the world!! Whoo-hoo!!!!
and that it sounded like shit. At least compared to how these guys usually sound. I'm not sure if it was the sound system (which I heard they had problems with) or what.
to do a song like that a tv awards show. that takes guts, not like the shit people perform today. everyhting is so watered down. this what fuckin music is supposed to sound like. if mtv paid people like this to perform at te vmas i might actually watch.
No it's MTV. They don't even play music. are you saying the public doesn't even like music anymore? What does laguna beach, and real world have to do with music? MTV needs to be REALITY TV, and someone should give us a real music channel.
100% class. There is NOONE currently around who could possibly put a performance on like that. In the UK - artic monkeys?? kasier chiefs?? what a fucking joke.
that is some soulful in your face rock n roll..i always liked how eddie vedder harmonized with young...thats is some grimy ugly rock...neil yung u da man
pearl jam has done more as a band for this country and others then u could ever realize...the proceeds too their bootleg cds a very good chunk of it goes too charity they play benefit shows around the world ....and im sure if u ask mr. young about the talents of pearl jam he would tell u that u probably wont find a better group of musicians anywhere else nowadays...and for niel young pearl jam will tell u hes the man.. so why are u arguing
As far as I'm concerned this is a modern day classic performance. Neil showing the young kids how its done and Pearl Jam does a great job keeping up. The stage was left smoldering in smoke. Very intense stuff.
this is pure gold! u can feel the synergy between neil and pj. they feed of each others emotions. listen to the vocal harmony of eddie and neil. it is a yin-yang of god-like voices. they are the generals, the band is their army in the crusade of spreading awe-inspiring rock music in (whats left of) the free world! keep it up, guys!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Vetter was still shitting his pants when Neil invented grunge music you fuck face. Sure he's a rockstar, but not even a cunt like you can deny the fact that Eddie doesn't even come close to Young. Feel free to fuck your mother.
you know English well but you are still speaking meaningless. how can you know that you are smarter than me, you are just cursing... And anyone can do this...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why do I have to respect Pearl Jam? Fuck you cunt face...I respect doctors and nurses, firemen and Police officers. Respect a band? For what? Fuck you shit-bag.
Are you telling me that you love Eddie Vedder? Feel free to jump on a plane to Seattle and get him to put one in your ass then. Don't mess with me you simple little fuck....I'm twice as smart and a thousand times more witty than you are. Niel Young is better, end of story.
Neil Young rocks out, and shows Pearl Jam how it's done! Great Performance! The song is from his raw period and it is powerful. This was at the end of a Pearl Jam/Neil Young tour. How great is that.
Neil Young is my favorite solo artist and Pearl Jam is my favorite band, but this is a subpar performance. Still better than anything else you would have seen at the VMA's, but supbar by their standards at least.
The drummer is INCREDIBLE -- I think he pushes the whole group into a much more powerful, frenetic, emotional level. Plus, Neil just soars on this thing.
Mais uma grande performance do grande artista Neil Young . E legal tambem ver uma banda de jovens ( na epoca ) como o Pearl Jam fazendo uma , literalmente , quebradeira ao lado do rodado e consagrado artista canadense.

100% class. There is NOONE currently around who could possibly put a performance on like that. In the UK - artic monkeys?? kasier chiefs?? what a fucking joke.
Ed Ved + neil = mans music - live long

this goes out to agorilla123
pearl jam has done more as a band for this country and others then u could ever realize...the proceeds too their bootleg cds a very good chunk of it goes too charity they play benefit shows around the world ....and im sure if u ask mr. young about the talents of pearl jam he would tell u that u probably wont find a better group of musicians anywhere else nowadays...and for niel young pearl jam will tell u hes the man.. so why are u arguing

As far as I'm concerned this is a modern day classic performance. Neil showing the young kids how its done and Pearl Jam does a great job keeping up. The stage was left smoldering in smoke. Very intense stuff.

this is pure gold! u can feel the synergy between neil and pj. they feed of each others emotions. listen to the vocal harmony of eddie and neil. it is a yin-yang of god-like voices. they are the generals, the band is their army in the crusade of spreading awe-inspiring rock music in (whats left of) the free world! keep it up, guys!

If Eddie Vetter had closed his mouth during that song, it would have been a lot better. Pearl Jam is a session band in back of Niel Young.

Vetter was still shitting his pants when Neil invented grunge music you fuck face. Sure he's a rockstar, but not even a cunt like you can deny the fact that Eddie doesn't even come close to Young. Feel free to fuck your mother.

well...yeah you right in some point of view...neil is older...but it doesnt mean that is much better than eddie...i like em booth!

Why do I have to respect Pearl Jam? Fuck you cunt face...I respect doctors and nurses, firemen and Police officers. Respect a band? For what? Fuck you shit-bag.

you white trash... why did you listen this song if you have no respect to music? if you dont love Eddie Vedder, just fuck off.

Are you telling me that you love Eddie Vedder? Feel free to jump on a plane to Seattle and get him to put one in your ass then. Don't mess with me you simple little fuck....I'm twice as smart and a thousand times more witty than you are. Niel Young is better, end of story.
agorilla123 4 years ago
Neil Young is better, hopefully you can learn to spell his name though.

Neil Young rocks out, and shows Pearl Jam how it's done! Great Performance! The song is from his raw period and it is powerful. This was at the end of a Pearl Jam/Neil Young tour. How great is that.

Neil Young is my favorite solo artist and Pearl Jam is my favorite band, but this is a subpar performance. Still better than anything else you would have seen at the VMA's, but supbar by their standards at least.

technically sub-par maybe, but thats not what really matters.

The drummer is INCREDIBLE -- I think he pushes the whole group into a much more powerful, frenetic, emotional level. Plus, Neil just soars on this thing.
