It's great!

Girl, I was crying with you, and I've been listening to this song for like 30 years lol. That song was kinda the anthem for the broken-hearted for my generation...if that performance didn't make you feel something, you need a new soul. Eddie's still amazing, one of the most important voices of our time. I've seen several comments about this, so I'll reiterate it ~ Jeremy should be next, and it should be the official unedited version. But if you cried at this song...bring your tissue box. It's an incredibly important song, the story's impact is best felt through the official video. "Porch" live at pinkpop festival is next on the list after Jeremy.

I was born in Tacoma Wa a little south of Seattle in 1980 and left to Texas when I was 10 years old. Something I remember as a kid was in elementary school, the curriculum was teaching us music theory in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. They really push the arts in school in that area at least when I was there. They had none of that in Texas until middle school. Needless to say I was drawn to music early in life because of this and became a musician. This could have been why such musical talent came from that area at the time.

If you react to "Jeremy" from Pearl Jam i recommend the official video uncut, the unplugged Version is very good but the context and song is better expressed in the official video(Evenflow is also recommended). Also their song "Evolution" was impressiv but insanly depressing(the award wining offical video is amazingly drawn, but the emotional summary of humankind is really not light on your mind).

Loved your reaction. The thing about Eddie Vedder is that he can’t sing any song without putting his entire being into it. He gives 100% every time. His lyrics are poetry, and while his voice has deepened, and he doesn’t hit the high notes as much anymore, it’s still beautiful 30 years later. Pearl Jam is a deep rabbit hole worth diving into, as is Eddie’s solo work. I simply adore his voice. If you react to his work, I’ll be listening. Subscribed.

@matthewgoodA1206 Год назад

Besides the heavily emotional delivery Eddie pulled off for this performance, the other thing I truly admire is how he just went for it, in that acoustic setting. It was a very small crowd, but also intimate, and as a vocalist you have to push thru and give it everything. And Eddie absolutely did.

Glad you chose another of my list of vocal performances I recommend back in one of my comments, glad you enjoyed it as much as I thought you would. Great reaction as always, love it

Holland 1992 version on youtube it is amazing....by the way my favourite song if all the time...is wonderful...

@ToniNYY Год назад

This song still hits me like a truck. I’m so glad you experienced this song, music is most profound when the artist brings you into their world may that be joy, anger, sadness, heartbreak. Beauty in a time piece.

It's wonderful to see younger people listen, and appreciate the music we had in the 80's/90's, and it says so much about that music, that it's still powerful enough to evoke such emotion. Great reaction vid. Subbing.

"Black" is simply a stunning heartbreak of a song, beautiful no matter what version of it you watch (personal favourite is the live version from Pink Pop in '92). Not a bad song on the 1st album "Ten", from "Jeremy" (the official full video) and "Porch" (Again, the live at Pink Pop '92 version is fun) to "Garden", "Even Flow" and "Release" - i'd also recommend checking out stuff like "Wash", "State of Love and Trust", "Breath", "Indifference", "Rearviewmirror" from around the period of the 1st and 2nd albums (and from the 2nd) - there's a lot of later stuff that's awesome as well, and a great band to see live :) You've opened a massive rabbithole into several bands, not just Pearl Jam...

@MyReallyCleverHandle Год назад

This is the 'Someone Like You' for the grunge era. It encapsulates that world-changing heartbreak of losing someone you love and torturing yourself imagining how happy they'll be with others. I think most people have been in that position - if you haven't, you're very lucky and I hope it remains that way

Most beautiful song ever written.. hearing it live is one of the greatest joys of life

His voice grabs u an won't let u go everyone in that band are extremely talented

Ah yes now shes down the unplugged alley. The whole pearl jam performance is great but im glad you reacted to this song. Check out other unplugs. I recommend alice in chains, nirvana, and stone temple pilots

@leehancock6066 Год назад

Me and my best friend from school alway say how much we love this tune and how emotional it is and Eddie absolutely kills it in this! Tears in my eyes every time!! Everyone enjoys this amazing tune ❤

@vrdragon12 28 дней назад

This to me is one of Pearl Jam's strongest songs. My dad loved grunge a lot, especially Pearl Jam. Eddie indeed has a gifted voice and he indeed puts his heart and soul into the song and to me, that is what it is all about. "Black" is one of my top favorites.

@ink9944 Год назад

70's, 80's, 90's is where the greatest songs created...This song is also still on my playlist till now. 👍👍

@joshuas193 Год назад

I recommend pretty much everything on their first 3 albums and a whole lot more after that. I mean they're my favorite band so I like almost all their stuff. But to name a few. From their first album, Ten: Deep, Porch, Release, and Garden, plus all the stuff that was on the radio like Even Flow, Alive, Jeremy, Once. Also from around this time but not on the album is a really great song called Yellow Ledbetter. From their second album, Vs: Dissident, Indifference, W.M.A. and all their singles, Go, Animal, Daughter, Rearview Mirror, and Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town. On their 3rd album, Vitalogy: Tremor Christ, Last Exit, Spin the Black circle and their singles Corduroy, Immortality, Not For you, and Better Man. Well that should keep you busy for a minute. Anyway that's their first 3 albums. After that they had less hits but there are still plenty more great songs to come. They have like 8 more studio albums after these.

@vaughnnewman8903 Год назад

Iconic band, song and performance. Some were in camp Nirvana-claiming Kurt was the "voice of our generation". Eddie was my voice; one of the most iconic voices in music.

@rozchristopherson648 Год назад

I agree with you. That was not a song. That was something from another world. Tears in my eyes as well.

@mattbrooks6044 Год назад

still one of my favorite songs of all time, and one of the best performances ever! Honesty!

@MarkyMark8484 Год назад

So happy you reacted to this one. The studio recording sounds almost similar to this. 90s bands almost sounded similar to the actual studio recording. It's rare nowadays. Eddie Vedder will always be one of the kings of grunge. His voice is soulfully amazing. So much emotion and grit!!

@stevenwilliams1805 Год назад

I feel old thinking about how old this is but, to this day few songs still manage to stir some within me like this one.

@yaboyleroy69 26 дней назад

I’m a 32 year old man and I have fond memories growing up listening to ten with my parents growing up. I finally got to see Pearl Jam live this past year, not afraid to admit I balled when I heard black live, I’ve waited my whole adult life to hear that song in person.

@manuelvillanueva9423 Год назад

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun, in somebody else's skies, why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine." That part at the end of the song is one of my top 5 of written lyrics in any song I've heard, ever. So beautiful and poetic. Full of pain, heartache and love at the same time. Love this song.

@johnnydopeflow9965 Год назад

@leinonibishop9480 Год назад

It’s so wonderful to see new people discovering the great music of the 90’s. Pearl Jam live are such a treat. There are hundreds of bootlegs of their live shows (and other 90’s bands) here on RU-vid from their very first performance in Oct. 1990, up to the concert tour they are doing right now. It’s one of my favorite rabbit holes to fall into for sure.

@dbstrozier Год назад

If you explore more Pearl Jam, I think you will find that journey you take during their music is a common feeling. Ed is all passion and heart and he he can put into words everything you are feeling about something in the most beautiful way possible. Seeing PJ live is an out of body experience. A lot of crying, a lot of healing , and a lot of love takes place.

@cannies7124 Год назад

i think nirvana’s unplugged performance was great as well, “the man who sold the world” and “where did you sleep last night” are some gems, you should check them out

@mickluchsinger486 Год назад

MTV unplugged was perfect for grunge music. You can really hear the emotion that grunge music was based on. Any Pearl Jam song from their unplugged is a good listen. Also Alice n Chains, and Nirvana.

@dandybus1582 Год назад

Down in a Hole just hits differently unplugged…. It’s incredible.

@the1andonlyknudsen Год назад

I am usually a fan of studio versions/albums. But this version blew me away. It is so heartbreaking in the most beautiful way and you feel the pain of losing someone that you believe is your one true love. Eddie is absolutely amazing and I was so impressed by the feelings he conveyed in this live version. I actually have a hard time going back and listening to the album version now. Don't worry about crying...I was right there with you, tearing up! Great reaction. Thank you for your time!

@ghostofpunishment Год назад

Eddie is my favorite vocalist, hes not insane with his range or anything but its the little details, the fast vinrato, the voice breaks, the sheer grit, he conveys emotion so well. Ive seen this performance like 50 times and I still teared up at all the parts you did. Easily my favorite live performance, along with Linkin Park and Jay Z doing 99 problems/One Step Closer live, but thats for a whole different reason

@joejacklin3831 Год назад

"I know one day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun...in somebody else's sky, but why oh why can't it be mine?" Hits with the same kind of genuine heartbreak you hear in "The Love You Want," "Atlantic," and "Fall For Me" by Sleep Token.

@gregwjohnson1986 Год назад

That one lyric has resonated with me since I was a child...20 years later it still makes me tear up. I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky. But why can't it be me? Eddie was under appreciated as a poet.

@carthuscrass2343 Год назад

IIRC Eddie Vedder was sick with a chest cold during this concert and still managed to knock it out of the park. You can tell in a few spots he's struggling, but manages to pull through.

@leinonibishop9480 Год назад

That extra bit of raspiness in his voice because of being sick is so golden.

@ronparsons8786 Год назад

This is a stunning all-time great performance. Some of the vamping at the end is not on the album version (the screams of yeah no, we belong together) and served a further highlight the power and raw emotion of this particular performance

@todeotodeo140 Год назад

A masterpiece froze in time on video. This performance tears me up. Eddie a soul brother surfer from San Diego county.

@Ro6entX 6 месяцев назад

I still remember when their album came out which while I was in high school. My friend had just got dumped by his gf so he wanted to listen to this song; poor guy looked completely defeated and destroyed. Since then though he found great girl, married and with kids. And if I recall, Eddie had a head cold or flu when unplugged was recorded. But he still puts that raw emotion, face gestures as he sings.

@chrisdunn3968 Год назад

Great reaction Aileen! It's impossible not to feel and relate to Eddie's pain of love lost and loving with letting go. Welcome to the PJ rabbit hole. If you get a minute, explore the Matt Corby rabbit hole, starting with, Brother, live on JJJ. It will blow your mind!

The most beautiful lyric in a song, "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody's else's sky, but why, why can it be mine?" This hurts my heart because it hits close to home.
