Pearl Jam BLACK Acoustic Performance The Decomposer Lounge Music Reactions & Breakdown
Fun fact: I was at this performance. My guitarist's room mate at college was an intern at MTV and her job was to give away 20 tickets to this show. I still have the ticket. Most of us sat right behind the tracks for the camera cart but the last two in our group got separated and had to sit behind the band. They're the ones that stood up and were dancing at the beginning of Evenflow. We were kinda laughing at them for doing that but 30 some odd years later, they're the ones that can prove they were there. Lol
Lucky bastard...
@@the1980dex swear I was about to post those exact 2 words LOL
you HAVE to do a video sharing this experience!
That is so cool. And yes I remember those 2 kids standing up at the beginning of even flow. The one with his hands acting like his wadding through water..... How many people were there and what did Eddie have to say that really stuck out for you?
@@djshalfmarathons9588 I really don't remember him saying too much aside from thanking everyone for being there. It HAS been 30 some odd years and my memory isn't what it used to be. LOL Had to be maybe a couple hundred people there.
“Now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything”. So much meaning in eleven small words🥺🥺
“I know some day you’ll have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky. Why can’t it be mine..” 💔😭 *the feels every time*
This made me cry too.
Every damn time
Best line ever.
You know he tapped deep into a traumatic experience to deliver that performance.
Makes me cry every time. This song is an absolutely perfect way to reach the feels
The guitar with "the metal around" is called resophonic guitar, but since the most famous brand producing them was Dobro, they are called dobros (so he plays a dobro) ;)
They were invented some years before the first electric guitars for increased loudness and are kind of iconic for more blues/roots rock guitar playing.
Love the dobro but never knew this, thanks!
Dobro's are widely used in Bluegrass music today . Also Marc Knoffler used them quite often in his works , there's famously a animated version of one in Dire Straights 'Money for Nothing" video .
@@cpprcrk1833 it's also the album cover!
Nice call
Aunt Flo is tunin' up the Dobro... Uncle Joe is screamin' let ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!
Porch on MTV was one of the best acoustic musical performances ever
YES!!
The best performance of it live in my opinion
@@SugarcatPlays Agree and Pinkpop 92 is a close second.
Eddie’s singing here still gives me shivers. One of the greatest rock vocalists ever - and how fortunate we are that he’s still with us.
Apparently Eddie's a pedi!
Man... I really shouldn't be listening to this one. Personally, one of the most deeply touching songs ever
I don't sing but, of all the songs I want to try and sing, it's this one. I don't even feel that way anymore yet, I still want to sing along every time.
Depending on the day this performance still tears me up after seeing it countless times.
I AGREE 😁
@@TheTodd5761 It still sometimes tears Eddie up to this day when he does it live. He's married now to a beautiful woman with multiple children.... And you can find numerous videos where he still cries singing this song. It's one of those songs that can always take you to a place where you can feel exactly what he's feeling in those few minutes.
every man has this song deep in his mind..that hates when it plays for it brings back times
Eddie Vedder...one of those beautiful voices the Grunge Scene has given us....Great video mr. Geebz!!
the grunge era produced a wealth of talent that is sadly mostly lost to the world now, Vedder, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley
@@mediumvillain We've still got Lanegan, and that dude is a machine if you look at just how many albums he's been a part of since Screaming Trees...
Jeremy acoustic is epic too!
Honestly the whole unplugged session is, IMO, their best performance
Nutshell by Alice In Chains from their unplugged session would be nice. Depressing yet beautiful song
Have you listened to the City & Colour covers of Nutshell and Rain When I Die?
@@robredmond no but I'm going to right away that sounds awesome. I absolutely love the song O Sister by City & Colour
@@robredmond oh my god his version of Nutshell is incredible😭
@@robredmond absolutely stunning, in particular rain when I die
@@isabeau82 You might enjoy You+Me as well then.
I sometimes forget how good the whole album Ten is, you know a song is good when it sounds this good accoustic. In this set Jeremy sounded amazing as well
If only they could’ve made another album anywhere close to as good as ten was
Ya it was all kinda downhill from this one. And that's not saying the following albums weren't good. They were definitely good, some great. But none came near TEN.
One of the greatest albums of all time
@@jdigga24 most bands could only wish they could have an album like Ten.
@@jdigga24 It is tough to follow an album like Ten, Guns n Roses had the same problem with Appetite, both outstanding albums but almost impossible to follow
Nirvana - The man who sold the world Unplugged!! I beg!
That's my favorite nivana song even though I know it's a Bowie song
"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" from that performance would also be amazing!
@@gw9155 Every single one of those performances are outstanding!
@@Draehir For sure. That Unplugged album is perfect from beginning to end.
YES!!! Or Heart Shaped box
Alice in Chains, "Would" unplugged, wonderful vocal harmonizing.
Not many songs can hit as hard as this one, a true masterpiece!
State of Love and trust from this set is so underrated. Best song of the set IMO and one of the greatest acoustic performances I've seen.
Yep👍
Yep and the album its on is so underrated its not funny.The movie Singles soundtrack is incredible from beginning to end.
This is a vocal Masterpiece from Eddie. I challenge you to find someone who has ever sang a single song in a single instance, with so much raw power, and conviction
MTV Live should make a comeback. We used to hang on these when they came out. Music today unfortunately doesn’t have the superstar bands like this to pull it off. New bands need to step up. Reaction channels are running out of artists to check out.
He's done another live version like this in tribute to his friend Chris Cornell. One to watch alone, the emotion is so palpable. I tear up every time I hear it, well worth a gander. Love hearing your thoughts and explanations, helps me understand the songs more somehow without killing the magic.
Yes, it was a very powerful performance.
I saw that and it just wrenched my soul. I loved the tribute Prophets of Rage made at a festival I attended soon after Cornell's death. Tom Morello said few beautiful words about Chris and they played "Like A Stone" and asked the audience to sing. By the time chorus rolled around the wasn't a dry eye in sight, probably because I cried so much. Extremely cathartic
I went on an emo Chris Cornell performances and tributes binge and finally lost it at that one. Also Chris doing Hunger Strike with Chester Bennington is just a nice performance but its especially heart wrenching bc of what happened to both of them. Chris and Eddie doing Hunger Strike together for the last time is rough too.
I miss Chris. THankful we still have Eddie. I loved Ten but was too young to appreciate it at the time fully... and I didn't appreciate Eddie until this set and then I heard him cover Daltry's Reign O'er Me.... that was the moment I realized I was witnessing a Legend in my Lifetime. ... And Chris could sing ANYTHING... his cover of Led Zeps Thank You in Sweden is a Staylist song.
I just seen this for the first time a few weeks ago. I couldn't believe the transparency and emotion on this. Amazing.
RIGHT?
Gives me goosebumps every time. eddy has such an emotional voice, you feel his pain
Goosebumps ?
Stil makes me cry
And I listened to this for a week straight 2 weeks ago 😭
The drummer is what makes this performance even greater. He was not afraid of using his crash and splash cymbals, an intense drumming, and the ghost notes adds so much in the verses!!! It was an outstanding performance by him. What a BAND❤
Totally agree. Such a shame they fired him. He plays with such colour and groove.
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky...it's just so real, relatable to the human condition
Most beautiful song ever and I’ve seen it live a couple years ago. And I know you don’t do lyrics but my God that line “I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life I know you’ll be the sun in someone else’s sky but why can’t it be mine” just murders my soul every time I hear. Who hasn’t ever felt that way? If you haven’t then you’ve never loved and lost
Yeah, that's where I can't help the tears most of the time. Doesn't matter that I'm happily married today, we all have bagage.
@@danielfc exactly
Ten was the soundtrack of my 20s. "A desert island album" not a bad song on it. PJ are a legendary live band who care deeply about giving their fans their all. 30 years later they still sell out every show. Brilliant Geebz. Thank you brother
First time I heard "black" I was a teenager in love and overwhelmed by the entire album and even more by this song!
Geebz this series has been really great! Glad to hear you'd like to cover an acoustic track per week I was going to suggest that. Aloha brother 😎🤙
Stoked your liking the acoustic week :)
It hits me every time... Note the additional lyrics he's added in this version: "We belong, we belong together...". and the way he's singing those lines... It adds so much.
He did this frequently live. Look up the Pinkpop version from 1992. Incredible
I can only listen to this version now - when at the end he sings out “WE…We belong… we belong together!!!” 😭 thank you for this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Live on two legs version is pretty epic too
You HAVE to do some acoustic Opeth! Something off of Damnation like Windowpane or Closure would be amazing!
Hello Geebz! The first time I heard Black, I remember it was in my hometown, Cartagena (Colombia), I was in my room and I had borrowed the Ten album from a friend. I was very impacted and since then, I always enjoy the feeling with which Eddie Vedder sings, especially the part: "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
, I know you'll be a star, In somebody else's sky, But why, Why, Why can't it be mineeee" its so hard!
Shivers listening to Eddie sing, one of the best voices ever imho. The album Ten is phenomenal.
Whoever down voted this doesn't understand amazing emotional subjects through music/art.
DOWN IN A HOLE-ALICE IN CHAINS MTV UNPLUGGED is your next move dude!! Love the acoustic series.
This acoustic series is amazing, first chris Cornell e now pearl jam, by the end of the week we are gonna be out of tears
I hope to see more acoustic vídeos after this week and, who knows, I can dream with a acoustic radiohead?
Thank you geebz!
I really like how they didn't dial back the drums like a lot of acoustic performances do.
Eddies just such a powerful singer everyone has to play on 11 to keep it vibing, lol.
Pearl Jam Black song :
“ I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Oh can't it be mine” 
✏️Flipping poetry right there ✏️
one of the most beautiful, amazing, songs put together Pearl Jam OMG!!
Thought you might do this one. God I love Pearl Jam. Still remember being handed the Ten casette tape from my drumline buddy on the stairs outside the band hall in 9th grade.
I'm loving the series! Since so far we've touched on a lot of emotional heart string tugging performances, I recommend both AIC - Nutshell and Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night. The only thing is I was only able to find the Vevo versions so you might not be able to play the video for us but I'd love it. Layne was in the middle of his addiction and almost dead during the performance but you couls never tell. Kurt gave a chilling performance as well and was under the influence. Both are classics! Hope you check them out!
Please do Porch. Its the most criminally underrated song on this performance!
If we are going down the unplugged rabbit hole, Down in a Hole unplugged by Alice in Chains is a must!
Eddie messed up on the 1st chorus. Then, he made up for it.... "Ten" fold!! 🤘🤘🤙🤙 AWWWRIGHT!!!
AIC Unplugged?!?! Any of the tracks.
Black for me is the greatest song ever written…blew me away the first time I heard it at 19. Now 48 and to this day it makes every hair stand on end. Especially the last verse.
“I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Oh can't it be mine….”
AIC Down In a Hole Unplugged is on Spotify. You dont need youtube or vevo
It was only a few years ago. I was 23, still living in Wales (UK). In a very distant part of the country as well. There are no opportunities out there for young people unless you drive, you did well at school or you come from a privileged background
I was going through some emotional and social complications and really felt that I needed to get away to find a new life. Having been raised in the countryside and feeling at home in the hills, moving scared me silly... but I knew I had to do something.
Not long before having an opportunity to move to Fareham on the south coast of England, I got into Pearl Jam and was mesmerized by Eddie's voice and the band's sound.
The Album 'Ten' gave me courage and faith in myself and inspired me to go find the life I wanted.
Three years later, I'm living in Southampton. I have my own flat, I've got a decent job but also studying part-time to be an electrician. The rest of my life consists of the 2 biggest passions of my life... cycling and music. The issues I had are now just a distant memory.
Thank you for everything Geebs! and keep up the amazing work. I look forward to your videos with great anticipation.
Mahalo my dude! 🤙
P.S. sorry for the novel. ahha
I was 12 years old at summer camp and one of my counselors put on 10 I thought it was okay until this song
Changed my life moved me from just a kid into wanting to understand music singing poetry
To this day Pearl jam holds up it's just good music I don't care what style I don't care what instruments acoustic electric whatever most of the good songs will be good songs regardless of how it's implemented
Also a giant fan of rear view mirror from the versus album
Keep making awesome content man and I'll keep watching really have enjoyed this acoustic week a lot
Other suggestions for awesome acoustic tracks almost anything from the punk goes acoustic album
Specifically Finch letters to you Thursday a hole in the world
Rear view mirror is one of my favourites too.👍
Oooh man! I saw this in my notifications and had to light up some 'party favors' beforehand 😁
Seattle had a club called Parkers. They had the best intimate shows with artists like Joe Coker, Anita Baker, Jerry Rafferty, and so many more that we were so blessed to witness. I saw Ray Charles and Stevie Ray Vaughn for $7.50 at a Seattle festival and didn't have a clue who SRV was. We were a sweaty mess afterwards. Such talent!
Alice in chains "nutshell" unplugged is fantastic as well
What is also worth noting is that Eddie was sick when they filmed this performance. What a champ.
Eddie's vocal choices are like getting little glimpses of his soul..
That whole video is on youtube and it's amazing. I'm not a Pearl Jam fan but I can listen to that MTV unplugged set on repeat for hours (and I have before!)
I did not know what a ghost note is, thank you for explaining.
Touch, Peel And Stand by Days Of The New is the heaviest acoustic song I've ever heard 🤘
thanks for the recommendation
Who hits the unlike button on this channel? I've never seen a video that you've done that wasn't great. Plus you're just an awesome dude. Guess you can't please everyone.
I think it's an ex-girlfriend :) Thank you so much for your kind words Raymond.
I was lucky enough to get to see Pearl Jam when they played in Dublin 2007 but I got to see Eddie doing his solo work with Glen Hansard in Cork, what a truly epic voice
Eddie's not too bad either
Definitely one of the best unplugged concerts and bands of all time 👏
I couldn’t miss this one!! Great commentary as always.
Since you did an acoustic week you should do like a metal FACE MELTER WEEK next lol
Nice, I was in Hawaii doing IT work for Kapiolani and Queens medical center(s) back in 1999. Great people there, that's very nice of you to donate your shirt funds!
Yea, super Ohana style of service to the community they are. Aloha Bill!
"Resonator guitars" (the one with the metal on it) a big in Bluegrass music due to it's unique sound.
This was such a great performance but I think it'll always be second to Nirvanas unplugged performance of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? Possible reaction video in the future?
I would be keen for a review of "Touch, Peel, and Stand" by Days of the New for an acoustic number, one of my favourite songs. Keep up the awesome work mate.
Down town is one of my favorite days of the new songs
Check out the Japanese all female rock band that uses traditional japanese instruments. They do a traditional song Sakura, their name is 'Rin.
I didn't know about 'ghost notes' so thank you!
I read a comment from another video that evening he had a sore throat, probably why he had some extra grit to his voice. If you notice right at the beginning of the video he puts down a mug behind him...sipping on hot tea. And still able to preform.
Man I miss all the great albums that I was introduced to in the 90’s, but Ten?! That is a special one. Ten is like an old friend, one that you may not speak to for years, but by chance you run across each other and are instantly reminded of great memories of your childhood.
ALICE IN CHAINS- Nutshell… Unplugged…..
Is A Must !!!!!
I was going through a break up when I first hear Black, and this song really sums up how I felt that time.
What a great song and great MTV Unplugged.
I have goosebumps every time I listen to: "We belong together"
MTV unplugged was amazing then! How the mighty have fallen. I think this is the best of all the performances along with AIC Nutshell.
I was in a gang up to no good. If anyone didn’t listen to hip hop they were made fun of and bullied. I was about 12 or 13, and I was in my room after getting this album for Christmas and listened to it for months, but whenever my friends came over I hid every album that wasn’t de la sol or nasty nas. One of my favorite albums of all time.
Funny story that I don't think gets told much, is there original equipment was lost, or damaged...I can't remember which, but they had to come up with those instruments at the last minute. Greatest rock band ever!
Excellent choice Geebz! I absolutely love this song and will rinse in it again after this. Band: Days of the New. Song: Weapon and the Wound
What a performance this was. Goosebumps every time.
Acoustic Alive in Chains "Got Me Wrong" from MTV Unplugged. I think you're really gonna like it.
"The Butcher," by Canadian musician Leonard Cohen. From his album, "Songs From a Room." -- released in 1969-- Requires a lyrical analysis alongside the music, as the lyrics are paramount to this beautiful acoustic song. You should really do a "Canadian Music Month." My cohorts would be screaming for some "Hip" decompositions to be done. ;)
Geebs I love that your doing Acoustic this week. As a musician and not being in a band for the last 10 years I always have to learn songs acoustic because when I perform it's with an acoustic guitar. There was a stretch of many years of listening to everything unplugged or acoustic so I could get into that zone of even doing songs that haven't been done acoustic and turning them acoustic. Anyways, so now I'm 100% always unplugged and prefer listening to only acoustic as well. Wow I said acoustic alot 😆🤣
It's a sad day for me, and this might be the soundtrack of it. My alltime favorite PJ song, thanks for doing this video. ♡
That guitar you were unsure of is called a Resonator Guitar. The sound made by the steel resonator is a fat sound with crisp high end.
Love your channel, and your breakdowns of songs! Keep up the excellent work!!!
Fantastic acoustic tune... Marcus King and Billy Strings doing "summertime" a must see
this was awesome ! 😊😊 i enjoyed and thankyou
This performance is astounding
Love your channel
This song effects every grown man in a deep deep way
Thank you so much for this!!! :D
what an incredible performance. I could feel my stomach tighten and my throat swelling with feelings from watching and listening him belt out those cries at the end. This video is a whole experience. Love what you do as usual, Geebz! Keep on keeping on!
Nirvana Live MTV Unplugged
OK. Pearl Jam performed Masters of War by Bob Dylan. It's so freaking awesome. If you've never heard the song, you should. It's sooooo fitting to what's going on in the world recently. Plz check it out
Porch from this Unplugged session is absolutely incredible as well! 🤘🏼 would love to see more of these old MTV unplugged tracks. Love what you’re doin, Geebz! Still here!
You are hitting my nostalgia button Geebz! This is one of those songs that you have to motivate to start listening but always glad you did at the end. Keep on going down the spiral man! Spiral out!
Geebz you should talk a bit more about vamping, it's one of my favorite compositional techniques and Pearl Jam uses it here and in other tracks to great effect
Love the acoustic summer series you've got going...of course it wouldn't be complete without this epic performance 🤘☮️🤘
oh my, this performance...
Thx man, great reaction :)))
Myles Kennedy, Love Can Only Heal. It’s on his RUclips channel. It’s incredible.
So glad you did this song! I think this is my favorite version of this song. 😍
Omg! I'm so happy I found you! You rock! 😃👏✌
Goosebumps every time.
My favorite Pearl Jam song!
an incredible performance and one i wore out a good few C90s listening to!
Thank you so much! This was sooo good. This album plays a HUGE part in the soundtrack of my life. It was literally on repeat in my stereo whenever I was at home, I even did all of my homework listening to Ten. Must’ve drove my parents mad lol.
At my high school reunion, an old friend reminded me of how I’d walk into each class and write Pearl Jam on the board before I sat down 😄
I have watched this acoustic performance so many times that when I’m listening to it in my car I can visualise what’s happening on stage at any time. I have watched it that many times, and have not tired of it yet. What a band!
Thank you!
Thank you. A lot. I was scrolling RUclips and I found you a couple of hours ago. I absolutely love your channel. ❤️❤️
