Why Go - Late Show With David Letterman - Pearl Jam 

Hello There he probably wasn't allowed to

It's at 0:58

That was pretty badass yea

In all fairness, he doesn't say it in concert either bc the fans love singing it themselves (but yeah, he wouldn't have said it here regardless).

Nope, Ed works for TPTB and pushes their agenda. LEASH is revolutionary, and he is no longer allowed to play it. Hope that helped.

JOSH

😃🤘🏻

Turn these fucking lights out!!

Ikr

It's not a fucking TV studio, Josh

Watch him doing Porch !

That guy represents me!

Blue shirt or yellow shorts? Kingpin is my man personally.

He got me all pumped up as well!

I’d be as pumped as him!

I'd be losing it!!! I love Pearl Jam!! Lucky audience ☺️❤️🤘

Tengo 16 y me encantaría ir a una presentación de Pearl Jam (^^)

14 here, would love to go to

GenX baby

No...this fr 2006. I was last yr of GenX and was only 29. This room was full late 20s/30yr olds.

ianA Probably those solos were also improvised, playing the same solos over and over again can be boring.

Danny Bilbao as a guitarist, of course it can, but quite honestly, the best solos are the timeless ones, not the constantly improvised. We as listeners remember and hang on every note of the classics, which is why Mike, IMO, is doing the songs a disservice by not having his original takes done live. They brought a presence, sometimes a rage, sometimes a beauty, sometimes a haunting aura to the song that isn't replicated by playing a flurry of notes like he so often does. Creating a great solo is an art, and it should be celebrated not simply cast off as repetitive nonsense.

They've never been a "just like the record" kind of band. That predates the recording of Ten. If you wan to hear solo on the record, simply listen to the record. The beauty of a live performance is that you're something a little different every time. Why go to a live show otherwise?

I think timeless solos are the improvised ones actually. I'd completely disagree. And that rage or beauty can be heard and seen in how they play, John Frusciante talks about it when he saw Jimi, he mentioned even the smallest things like improvising a solo with your middle finger as to express anger. Personally I think that's always been an interesting part of improvised music. And obviously it's more fun to play improvised.

Travis Godfrey Evans I think John is a MUCH better improviser than Mike. Mike plays flurries of notes without much meaning to flash his speed whereas his recorded solos have infinitely more amounts of soul, passion and insanely melodic value when played in counterpoint to the rhythm sections. At least John stays right around where his original solos were. Case in point, Slane Castle performance of "Don't Forget Me". I love that solo more than the album version and his improv is absolutely breathtaking, but it's gorgeous melodically. He taps into the music itself whereas I think Mike feels the need to blaze every solo and stay so far away from what he did, when in reality, he's a much better album player. He has such a great body of work.

Their songs do have darkness but they also talk about surviving that darkness, escaping somehow, living through it and carrying on, doing something about it to change it. Bad things happen to all of us but be strong, still give your love away, and we’ll get through this together. That’s the genius of their songs. They aren’t depressing, they SOAR. Long live Ed the storyteller.

unlike women ...older the uglier they get

Most of 'em!

Clorox Bleach Same thing with Dave Ghrol

hector medrano wtf 😂

David Hempseed must ...

PERICO Finally a sane comment!!

"Makes much more sense, to live in a present tense" Literally Ed's message to you

@@Faks.09 "This is not for you." Also Eddie. Lol

Did you not listen to Gigaton?

@@HughMorristheJoker yes i did. Absolute garbage

I loved that dude when I watched this for the first time 10 years ago. 10 years later, I feel the same :D So much raw emotion!

Carlos DeOcesano i

No. I miss Dave 😔

​@@aveddervedderock1351keep on😂

Another 5 passed lol 😂 I was thinking about that god 2006

Yeah

Mauro & Blake / EXACTLY !!!!! poor cam he Trys So Hard.... I'd FIRE HIM !!!! On the absurdity 4 his sticking out his ugly Jaw in Wishing & Hopes he Cud PLAY the Drums as PERFECTLY & Flawlessly much less Give his Soul 2 -LOOK- Just a Minut as Dave in 91-94' Haydays like ABBURZZESE.... Cutie Pie D. Auzzzzzz Kit Stayed Hot 2 the touch for 45mins. After he walked off stage -bb

Kicked out in 1994 Keep whining guys)

@@Faks.09 The question is: name two of Metallica's worst records?

@@Yngvar10 definitely "master of puppets" and "ride the lightning"

The performance is actually from 2006, which was a great year for them. They still sound good to this day though.

@@leinonibishop9480 One of my favorite albums this year, their eponymous album had everything I need with an intense core sound.

He's more calmer here, but I still go crazy for young, intense, powerful 20 something Eddie!!!💜

@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 Closer to 30 at the beginning of 1990s. He was born in 1964. He just always looked younger, because of his skin quality. My aunt has skin like that and everybody think that she's 40. Actually - she'll be 63 years old! My grandpa's genes. Oh, why I didn't inherit that?! 😭

Sounds to me like it could have been “Black” ... :-)

Or yes, “why go”. Depends on whether it was staccato or melodic ..

@@andrewdods2236 Thank you! It was "Daughter": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w9fUYCdM4zk.html

Gabriel Zapata Amen

Too bad that Dave needs drugs

Gabriel Zapata absolutely agree

+jackpaice no 720 or 1080p needed for good music. This band in 360 kicks asss

+Closerr that makes fuck all sense.
