Pearl Jam saved my life in 1992. "Release me, Black, Alive, Even Flow, Once, Oceans, Porch"...my God, where do I start? These guys are my Beatles!! "Release me" is that song those of us who have been held back by something for so long - insecurity, low self-esteem, self-doubt and any other type of impediment or demon...you feel this, this is your song!! This song saved me! Thanks Eddie, thanks PJ!
It's hard not to cry when you hear this song, it marked my life in so many ways, my dad is still with me and now everything is OK, the hard days trying for our characters to find a middle point are finally gone. He is my DAD but mostly my friend.
This was my first PJ concert, and they opened with this, the one I needed to hear. Brought tears to my eyes..cheers to you Ed, Jeff, Mike, Stone, Matt, and Boom...you all have done more than you will ever know. 🤘
I envy you brother! These guys saved me life with their music and I am ashamed to say I am yet to see them live..unreal! I hope someday to catch them live. I am glad they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...can't think of anyone more deserving!! By the way, I'da been down on my knees during this song, singing out of tune, tears of "release" in my eyes..what a thrill that would have been!
Absolutely! One day you shall see them, you deserve it, and I wish you could have been there! PJ has created such a tremendous community, and like Ed always says "we're safe tonight!" Cheers brother!
I was racing back to my seat and high fived a guy doing the same, going the opposite way...I would have preferred to see the performance but the shared High-5, big smiles as we bellowed with the crowd, was a nice substitute.
Seriously. I know he doesn't always sound perfect on every song, but he pretty much always nails those big soaring notes on Release - still gives me goosebumps all these years later.....
Eddie Vedder wrote several other songs for that movie but the director said they were so good they pulled the viewer out of the story so he couldn't use them. he ended up just using Release and the new songs Ed wrote disappeared back into his notebooks and have never been seen again.
I am your words on a rocking horse of time, I am your turd I feel your rain? hold me down, if you could see me now, I am the turd you frame!! I'll open up, like you some how, I'll hold your American resigns!! put your gun down, you won't need it know more, I hold the pain for your freedom!! don't let the stamped ,trample you down. don't let your american voice, go unheard? I will hold your song, true to my heart. I will hold and reframe?? should I hold this down? you can't see me now? if I hold this gun will you reframe? time will tell , you know me now! I'll hold your mouth as you reframe!! woo woo ohh !! wink American men and women hold your freedom!! god bless America
+Travis Mace That would be Dave Abbruzzese... Never were the same after the fired him, a band is only as good as it's drummer. I am thankful I got to see them at their peak in 1993 & 1994..
For me the most emotional song by PJ. I have always difficulties to keep it dry and i always think of the loss of several close friends recently. Hope you Guy's are enjoying yourselfs up there. Heers to you all. Thanksvfor postingbthis video.

I cannot imagine not having this song or album in my life i am 42, pearl jam is life to me!
I was in the beer line (already for 20 mins) when they started... booked it right outta there. Magic in the air that night.
There were tears shed from several people during this opening song!
What a concert 🎶!!! I was there!! This guy is unbelievable
My 4th time seeing them and by far the best concert I have ever been to. "Special" was just in the air last night. Its hard to explain.

This song...
I'm not even a big Pearl Jam fan but that was one of the 3 best concerts I ever attended
Almost 30 years into it & he still holds the mic & pushes his gut forward & rocks back when he sings! I love this man.
I've listened to this song and album a thousand times eddies voice still gives me chills and this song takes me away when life ain't the best.
Beautiful! Best opening song! ❤🔥
Im sure that EV`s DAD is sitting up there and being very proud ;-)
Someone gave this video a thumbs down? WTF!? PJ forever! Without a doubt the greatest of all time! I can't wait to see them again! Much love Eddie.
Love this band and this song. Fenway 2 was mind blowing.
Highlight of my summer, traveled from NY, well worth it
Best night of my life!
I was there ♥️🌹
Such an amazing show last night!
I seen them back in 1992 and and 1996.. and so on.. but just amazing really
So damn good. Thanks!
Thanks pearl jam...to be with me ..
I was racing back to my seat and high fived a guy doing the same, going the opposite way...I would have preferred to see the performance but the shared High-5, big smiles as we bellowed with the crowd, was a nice substitute.
Thank you.
Very nice vid shot of the group..drums focus ..love pj !
Thank you!
That voice...
Seriously. I know he doesn't always sound perfect on every song, but he pretty much always nails those big soaring notes on Release - still gives me goosebumps all these years later.....
I know what you mean. Every time they play this song, I know it's coming. And it always amazes me...
they opened with this at pemberton , so good!

Everyone in the comments " I was there that night ".
I was at this show. They did a bang up job on comfortably numb
they were defenitly rushed up for some reason cut the show a bit short ??

City noise ordinance ... just a guess.
pearl fucking jam !!!! long live rock n roll
They need to tour to Boston more then every two years!!! It just to long!!!
very good video.
Meu lindo 😍😍😘😘😘
Christian Bale's 'Out of the Furnace' introduced this song to me. An excellent song.
Eddie Vedder wrote several other songs for that movie but the director said they were so good they pulled the viewer out of the story so he couldn't use them. he ended up just using Release and the new songs Ed wrote disappeared back into his notebooks and have never been seen again.
i was there on friday night, Vedder sounded amazing, did the rest of the band not sound right? sound guys seemed to not get the sound right all night
I think its great his hair is blowing in the wind
This is a letter to God if you knoe your scriptured youll know exactly whatvhes saying itd amazing amen
except for the fact that Eddie Vedder has always been an outspoken athiest. you are welcome to your interpretation though.
whats the lineup
Dude we could make a sick multi cam. Check out where I was. It’s a ways back now but keep going it’s in my videos.
save eddie vedder.. no more suicide
Probably Is Time to leave

Those drums, LMAO. Pathetic.

you at the show, did'nt think so the sound coming out of the speakers was unbeilvable
+Travis Mace I don't need to be there lad to know that Matt Cameron is not the right drummer for Pearl Jam..
+Father Damien Karras who they going to go with bro, Dave Abresses isn't walking though the door?!
