Awesome show that night I will never forget.. My absolute favorite acoustic versions of there songs Great freakin job awesome show search out the rest of the set list this is actually from the 1996 Bridge School bennefit show. I'm glad to know theres a younger generation discovering great music I lucky enough to be a teenager during this time and I still follow these guys..
@releaseme4034 i only know they performed that song before this one because in another video he pulls out his harmonica after the end of EW. I can only WISH that i was actually there!
Ok so im 16, born in 1994. Pearl jam is my favourite band of all time. And this is my favourite song ever. I just wish that i was born before their peak, so i could go watch them live in concert. If they announced an australian tour, i think i would start crying haha. Where did the music industry lose its way? All this synthesised and auto tuned crap! If its got a guitar in it, ill listen to it! RHCP, Nirvana, John Butler Trio <3
@MrButch611 Check out Cage The Elephant, they are FANTASTIC make sure you here songs off their 2nd album, like Aberdeen or Check out Sabertooth Tiger if your looking for a Nirvana Grunge sound.
@MrButch611 im 17 but i was born in 1994 lol i feel the same ! music today sucks giraffe pussy ..and gets shit on every morning. .. lmao i love all those bands everything from the 90's was pretty much gold. if you like stuff with really great guitar riffs i highly recommend you check out deftones, 1 of their videos is on my page :) lol
Hey, what's up everybody... I'm here because all of you guys are Pearl Jam fans, and because, if you can deal with a little bit of 'spam', I'm here to promote my new band Overshadowed. We just got done recording our demo, it's on our channel, and we'd love if anyone could simply check the songs, leave a comment, or anything of the sort. We'd really appreciate it!
FYI, I came HERE because we love and respect Pearl Jam, and are hoping for whatever respect you guys might have leftover...
pearl jam is awesome but I do urge folks not to give up on the music of today. The real problem is that today's popular and mainstream music sucks. There's plenty of good rock, blues, and even jazz out there being performed by modern bands but you will never hear it on MTV, VH1, or mainstream radio. Do Not Give Up Hope For the Beauty Of Modern Art
That song is so deep. It's the kind of song that you hear and then your mood has completely changed. I'd like to know why the hell there are dislikes on this.
I just wanted to correct those people who dont know about this song & others. I as a die hard Pearl Jam fan, need to let the masses know the truth. "footsteps" is apart of the mamasan trilogy along with "alive" and "once". for those who dont know about the trilogy, i strongy suggest you look it up. Great video. Footsteps is my favorite song ever!
The trilogy of songs however is. The 3 songs represent his mom and the affair he had with her at her insistence. She would use Eddie as a replacement for her husband Eddie's dad because he resembled him so much. The Footsteps are a reference to him being able to hear her on her way to his room at night while he was in bed at night. The songs are deeply personal and I read this as an actual account written by EV.
@mikeLOUD Not true. Eddie was never in a sexual relationship with his mother. Alive is somewhat about Stone Gossard, the guitarist. He found out when he was a young man that his biological father died when he was much younger and that his "dad" was his step-father. Nothing else about the 'mini-opera' (in order, alive, once, footsteps) is based on real events, although yes, the trilogy means alot to them. This is all easily found online with a light google search :P
@Greyghostvol1 its false , the one who discovered about his father was eddie , it is on pearl jam story tellers he talks about that, about the mother and sexual relations its all fake.. i never eard something like this
At this show, they played elderly woman just before this song. Both songs were amazingly performed back to back. Jesus christ, why was i born in '94??? no band of today could match that kind of talent.
Wow I fuckin feel old. I graduated in 93.....and I had this tune back then....when it was a real rartity. Raw acoustic version, no harmonica even like on Lost Dogs....one of the best.
@xXalvarado94Xx if you were at this show then you were 5 years old seeing this show? I very highly doubt that. But yes seeing Elderly woman and footsteps back to back acoustic is amazing!
I feel sorry for ya champ, I was born in '79 so got to appreciate Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden etc when I was 15-16 yrs old. Began to go out drinking, chasing girls and partying! It was awesome and feel so privileged to have spent my life/music shaping years having this with me at such an influential age!
Don't even think about reachin' me I won't be home Don't even think about stoppin' by Don't think of me at all ohh!, I did, what I had to do If there was a reason, it was you... Don't even think about gettin' inside Voices in my head, voices I got scratches, all over my arms One for each day, since I fell apart I did, what I had to do If there was a reason, it was you...
Awesome live version....seen them live many times throughout the years and they never disappoint....Vedder's getting older but still one of the sexiest men ever....2nd to Layne that is.....Times of Trouble was writtten first though.....
check out the song "times of trouble" by temple of the dog. its exactly the same song instrumentally just that cornell is singing something different.
This is actually the third song in a "mini opera" that he wrote. Alive, Once, Footsteps. It's all about him finding out his step dad was not his real dad, after 18 years of living with him (Alive), then he goes on a rampage and becomes a serial killer (Once), and eventually gets put to death (Footsteps). It's basically a song to his mother.
Its being micromanaged and taken over by the elite globalist politically correct
corporate assbags who ruin everything they touch.
Music has become so fony and superficial these days.
What with American Idol and Guitar hero who needs real musicians
anymore.
Who needs the really tallented people who have spent thousands of hours in seclusion learning their art form only to be bested by a stupid damn video game.
@faceblood This song should of been on Ten along a few others..Imagine how much even better it could have been. Ten is already one of the most complete rock albums. It's personally my favorite album, and far better than Temple of the Dog. Both great albums, but complete Pearl Jam w/Ed Vedd sounds so much better.
the good thing about pearl jam is that it's up to personal interpretation. For instance, Alive was orgiinally meant to be a sad proclamation that he's still alive, but as Eddie says, it's become a chorus of hope.
And Betterman, originally about abuse, has become a love song for others
@sweetfire35 hope you know its stone gossards/temple of the dogs/pearl jams song...its on the temple of the dog cd - times of trouble....i dont know exactly but i guess gossard wrote it or something
I thank God everyday for the girl that he fell in Love with that eventually broke his heart and f'd him up so bad to inspire these songs...wow what happened to music? I used to stay up till 2, 3 in the morning when in was in middle school high school just groovin to music, am i gettin old or am i right music blows today huh ?
@vijion2020 I don't think it's about a girl. Granted, "Black" is definitely about the girl who broke his heart. This is the final part of the Mamasan trilogy, including Alive, Once, and then Footsteps. It's about a man who learned his real father died and he had lived with a stepdad, then was sexually molested by his mother, became a criminal, and footsteps is his song before he is taken to be executed. I think.
@vijion2020 Nah man your right, I'd stay up with my cd player in elementary or my mp3 player in highschool and just listen to tons of music and before I knew it it would be like 4 in the morning, but id be in peace.
@vijion2020 : Been there too my friend... I'm just affraid we're getting old !! I hope kids/teens these days spend the same sleepless nights we did, listening to some good thoughtful music. Not necessary today's band anyway... God bless Rock n'Roll !
@vijion2020 no--we are old--nothing we can do but thank god that we are here. Eddie and PJ was for us but i guess lil wayne is for the youth? Our music was much better--but i recall my folks saying our music sucked!!
@vijion2020 This song is about a serial killer!!! He's on jail wating for his execution... The person that he blame, is his mother... It's not a love song!!! Listen to the sequence 'Alive', 'Once', and 'Footseps'. Then you going to understand.
I know huh....I loved listening to 120 minutes back in the day 3 in the morning....now....there's nothing but SHIT MUSIC.....and when there is some band that is half way good people treat them like fucking gods because....there is no other great band to compare them with.....you know....I mean 99 out of 100 bands today could not keep up with the talent back in the 90's they would get creamed talent vs talent
@vijion2020 You're sooo right. I used to be the exact same way, staying up all night listening to music or watching videos. The 90s had such great music that really had so much emotion in it. You could FEEL it back then..
@vijion2020 Actually there wasn't any girl! This song is one of the first he did for the band! Is the continuation of Alive and Once. Kind like a mini-opera acts. Just listen in the order, you will get the ideia!
@nalradarlan, nailed it. This is Act 3 of the so called mini-opera and it tells the story of the boy from Alive who was sexually abused and went on a massive killing spree in Once... and Footsteps is the conclusion to his life on death row.
@vijion2020 Actually there wasn't any girl! This song is one of the first he did for the band! Is the continuation of Alive and Once. Kind like a mini-opera acts. Just listen in the order, you will get the ideia!
@mhgrove1 Actually, the story is part of a trilogy of songs (the other two being Alive and Once). Footsteps is the referring to a man whose mother told him some really messed up stuff (told in the song Alive), did some bad things (Once) and is then is at the end of his life looking back (Footsteps). I suppose you could say though it is about him and it is about a girl that broke his heart (being his mother) since Eddie has admitted what we've all suspected, Alive is a song really about him.
@vijion2020 it was not written because of the girl, it's last part of the vedder's trilogy: alive - once - footsteps, that was somehow related to history with his father
@bluetuonela you saved me a comment .. well by saying this you didn't but you get the point right ? :p It's btw like this : Alive = incestious relation with mother ; Once: Mad dude goes on killing spree ; footstep: he's in prison awaiting his execution. But most songs about troubled youth were indeed inspired by his own dad so in a way you are right
@peajay81 Every time I catch myself lying to myself about personal responsibility, I think of this song. Sometimes, I can't listen to this song, because it tears me apart inside.
Ahh, thank you for answering. You have reminded me that one of the things that is so appealing about Pearl Jam is that there is so much meaning in any one song, and people relate to different parts in different ways.
i dont like making comparisons. Everyone has their own opinions but that doesnt make one better than the other. Chris and Eddie are both legends. Both great songs.
Love Pearl Jam. Hands down one of the best bands of the last 20 years. But lets be honest, no poets are studying Vedder's lyrics, no critics are arguing about whether Vedder is a better poet or a musician, Vedder did not trailblaze entire genres of songwriting. Dylan did.
This is nothing against Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder is a phenomenal frontman in a talented band. But lets not try to compare him, on a purely lyrical basis, to the most talented lyricist rock has produced (so far). :)
and 2 the retard who posted that dylans lyrics are better thats the most retarded comment i have ever read on you tube bob dylan and eddie vedder are apples and oranges everyone knows that there is no such thing as better when it comes to expressing oneself if u relate to a certain person more then another then its ur own thing better is like a canopener versus a screwdriver for opening a can of whoopass which if i saw u would happen for fear of u spreading ignorance to the next generation
that is not a retarded comment this person is expressing his/her opinion. u are just too ignorant to allow another person to express a view contrary to urs, which is exactly what ur heroes pearl jam and bob dylan are against. u are a hypocrite.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow...and the rhino gets ten thumbs up? Really that retarded jribble he just posted? cough fanboys GALORE. Sorry temple will always be the immortal, times of trouble is better, i hate to say it cuz in terms of respect i give it to vedder over cornell but no just no
anyone who hates on pearl jam, or grunge for that matter, has not heard songs like release, garden, leash, indifference, footsteps or sleight of hand, to name a few...
if they aren't the greatest band ever, they're absolutely among the few best. individually they're excellent musicians, their lyrics are unmatched, and the best part may be what they stand for...

@vijion2020 no--we are old--nothing we can do but thank god that we are here. Eddie and PJ was for us but i guess lil wayne is for the youth? Our music was much better--but i recall my folks saying our music sucked!!

I agree with you completely, although I'm sure you are aware of this band but the black keys give me some hope in the quality of music realm.

@vijion2020 This song is about a serial killer!!! He's on jail wating for his execution... The person that he blame, is his mother... It's not a love song!!! Listen to the sequence 'Alive', 'Once', and 'Footseps'. Then you going to understand.

I know huh....I loved listening to 120 minutes back in the day 3 in the morning....now....there's nothing but SHIT MUSIC.....and when there is some band that is half way good people treat them like fucking gods because....there is no other great band to compare them with.....you know....I mean 99 out of 100 bands today could not keep up with the talent back in the 90's they would get creamed talent vs talent

@vijion2020 You're sooo right. I used to be the exact same way, staying up all night listening to music or watching videos. The 90s had such great music that really had so much emotion in it. You could FEEL it back then..

@vijion2020 this song is for his mother ! A part of mamasan trilogy , a serial killer's history .

@vijion2020 Actually there wasn't any girl! This song is one of the first he did for the band! Is the continuation of Alive and Once. Kind like a mini-opera acts. Just listen in the order, you will get the ideia!
nalradarlan 10 months ago
@nalradarlan, nailed it. This is Act 3 of the so called mini-opera and it tells the story of the boy from Alive who was sexually abused and went on a massive killing spree in Once... and Footsteps is the conclusion to his life on death row.

@vijion2020 you do realize the song's not about a girl that broke his heart, right?
mhgrove1 9 months ago
@mhgrove1 Actually, the story is part of a trilogy of songs (the other two being Alive and Once). Footsteps is the referring to a man whose mother told him some really messed up stuff (told in the song Alive), did some bad things (Once) and is then is at the end of his life looking back (Footsteps). I suppose you could say though it is about him and it is about a girl that broke his heart (being his mother) since Eddie has admitted what we've all suspected, Alive is a song really about him.
Mistrblank 9 months ago
@vijion2020 it was not written because of the girl, it's last part of the vedder's trilogy: alive - once - footsteps, that was somehow related to history with his father

@bluetuonela you saved me a comment .. well by saying this you didn't but you get the point right ? :p It's btw like this : Alive = incestious relation with mother ; Once: Mad dude goes on killing spree ; footstep: he's in prison awaiting his execution. But most songs about troubled youth were indeed inspired by his own dad so in a way you are right

Is somebody out of tune on their guitar? I don't have the training to know. Amazingly, whatever it is ends up working for this version of the song.

What is your favorite quote? My guess is... "I've got scratches all over my arms/ One for each day since I fell apart."
montelimat 2 years ago
Nah "I did what I had to do. If there was a reason, it was you."
fightingfoos 2 years ago
Ahh, thank you for answering. You have reminded me that one of the things that is so appealing about Pearl Jam is that there is so much meaning in any one song, and people relate to different parts in different ways.

Yeah thats what I was thinkin.

i dont like making comparisons. Everyone has their own opinions but that doesnt make one better than the other. Chris and Eddie are both legends. Both great songs.

The song is legendary because of Eddie Vedder not Chris Cornell I do love both versions Eddie Vedder's lyrics and singing are just better.

Love Pearl Jam. Hands down one of the best bands of the last 20 years. But lets be honest, no poets are studying Vedder's lyrics, no critics are arguing about whether Vedder is a better poet or a musician, Vedder did not trailblaze entire genres of songwriting. Dylan did.
This is nothing against Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder is a phenomenal frontman in a talented band. But lets not try to compare him, on a purely lyrical basis, to the most talented lyricist rock has produced (so far). :)

and 2 the retard who posted that dylans lyrics are better thats the most retarded comment i have ever read on you tube bob dylan and eddie vedder are apples and oranges everyone knows that there is no such thing as better when it comes to expressing oneself if u relate to a certain person more then another then its ur own thing better is like a canopener versus a screwdriver for opening a can of whoopass which if i saw u would happen for fear of u spreading ignorance to the next generation
RhinoXeros 2 years ago 14
that is not a retarded comment this person is expressing his/her opinion. u are just too ignorant to allow another person to express a view contrary to urs, which is exactly what ur heroes pearl jam and bob dylan are against. u are a hypocrite.

anyone who hates on pearl jam, or grunge for that matter, has not heard songs like release, garden, leash, indifference, footsteps or sleight of hand, to name a few...
if they aren't the greatest band ever, they're absolutely among the few best. individually they're excellent musicians, their lyrics are unmatched, and the best part may be what they stand for...
