"Mookie Blaylock" genius grooving to guitar riffs so inspired by Eric Clapton's hit "Cocaine". It is more than a dream come true to see and hear Mike, Stone and Jeff play like real legends in the 90's. Dave K. is an asset to the band in the breakthrough. Eddie's vocal range, clarity and strength are exceptional for his youth and it is evident that his place in frontman history is unprecedented and will never be equalled or "outshined".He is to rock and roll what Caruso was to opera.The birthing of Pearl Jam witnessed by a select audience in the illustrious history of rock and roll fame.Thank you for sharing the best debut video clip.
I’ve got a cool story about Eddie Vedder. First I worked for an insurance company back in the day in the special lines field and remember actually speaking to Eddie about his boat policy! He said enjoyed calling instead of his agent! Very down to Earth and later we were able to meet at a Seattle Pearl Jam show so he was able to put a face to the voice on the phone 📱. ILL NEVER FORGET IT! RIP CHRIS CORNELL. The Seattle scene in the early 1990’s is unsurpassed by anything going on today!
This is so cool! Particularly enjoyed watching young Eddie experimenting with his signature 'stage moves' during Even Flow, not quite sure yet what to do with his limbs, hair, bandmates and overall energy. Trying to both contain himself AND let it rip at the same time 😀 so fun to see! The voice was all there already though.
I heard this live for the first time in 1991 at RPI field house. Pearl Jam opened for Smashing Pumpkins which opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers. Eddie was crowd surfing and hanging from lighting grid. It was f’ing nuts! Lol. I was a Temple of the Dog / Soundgarden fan, but was not really familiar with Pearl Jam yet. That all changed that night, lol.
Just watched a Rogers Stevens interview who said he and the rest of Blind Melon went to the first two Mookie shows in LA. Krusen went on to play with Rogers in Unified Theory, after the death of Shannon Hoon

Holy shit. I was at this show. I can't believe there is a video of it. Wish the audience was clearer and I could pick myself out.
This is so cool! Particularly enjoyed watching young Eddie experimenting with his signature 'stage moves' during Even Flow, not quite sure yet what to do with his limbs, hair, bandmates and overall energy. Trying to both contain himself AND let it rip at the same time 😀 so fun to see! The voice was all there already though.
Great early find. The audience has no idea what was about to hit them. Thanks for sharing!
I come back and watch this every couple of months I'm not sure why lol
I can't imagine how blown away I would be if I was hearing this for the first time live.

Thank you!! I was happy they included him in the HOF…just wish they included Dave too
Sweet thanks a lot. This is amazing!!!
Love how ed has the layne Staley head flip here. Must have been influenced by him on tour cuz I've never seen him doing it before this or after. Lol both were such hotties. Damn
Yes because no one else, in the history of music, ever tossed their hair around on stage before layne did…
This is just awesome...thanks for sharing...
Eds voice was just too powerful for this place. He had to reign it in. Voice was so powerful
Level Energy:
Dave Krusen.............50%
Dave Abruzzesse.....150%
Abruzzesse was a monster. And a damn good song writer.
So???
Abbruzzese was a huge improvement
Cruisen with Krusen, Bruisen with Abbruzzese
Krusen literally wrote and played on "Ten". Literally
Just raw it’s awesome, good thing they changed the name lol
History class . Everyone
5:52..
Lil foreshadowing.
"PEARL" on drums.
I think Eddie literally wearing a The Jam t-shirt

F'ing Hollywood...
Still use to plastic hair metal at this time
