      ​​​​​​I mean let's not be elitist here, or refuse to recognize the talent of many modern bands. For instance, NPR's Tiny Desk series is in many ways a spiritual successor to Unplugged. You can find a lot of absolutely amazing performances there.
      I'd also say that bands like My Morning Jacket, Black Pumas, Hozier, Alt-J, Arcade a Fire, Jenny Lewis, Death Cab For Cutie, The XX, all would've fit in perfectly with Unplugged. There's a shit ton of great music being made today, including a lot of bands who were directly influenced by 90's grunge scene. To say that there aren't a plethora of bands who are capable of generating such emotion is literally to deny the influence of artists like Vedder. He inspired a multitude of artists after him, just as he was inspired by artists who came before him.
      Nostalgia is a powerful emotion, and it's not unjustified. But that doesn't invalidate the power and talent of modern day musicans.

    I love hearing people newly discover the passion that went into grunge.
    This is the stuff I grew up on and it will always be my favorite genre.
    Most music in the world combined can't match the amount of passion and emotion that came out of just a few grunge artists.
    When they play the songs, you feel every bit of it.
    Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, etc. There are others, but these are considered the "big" ones.
    Another band worth checking out from the same era but more considered "post-grunge" is Bush. Gavin Rossdale has some great songs and he still sounds good nowadays too.

    Thinking of what MTV have become, with all the nonsense they do know. Its important to remember that once upon a time they where the only place that gave a platform for these bands to do this, and for the young listeners to interact with it in that way.
    And the MTV Unplugged shows are legendary now, all because of what MTV used to be.

    Eddie Vedder wrote this song after experiencing some very personal and extremely painful events in his life. He has stated that it was never his intention for this song to be released. By pure happenstance, one of the record producers overheard this song and loved it-literally begging Eddie multiple times to allow it to be on the record. Eddie has previously stated that this song will always be tragically painful for him to sing.
    Oh, and one more thing, this performance was very nearly cancelled on this night, as Eddie had a terrible head cold, yet somehow he prevailed and delivered this incredible performance. He's so beautiful, incredibly talented, and an all-around very genuine individual, from what I've heard! 🤘🏻❤️♾️

    Down goes another one.. Ive watched almost all the reactions to this song and , by about half way through song, they’re in love. Can’t blame, though.. obviously, greatest/most unique voice of all time but throw in that jaw line and those beautiful hair flow… sheesh! Save some for the rest of us men,Eddie!

    As we say here in Portugal..."um perfeito fado"..... For me the best live performance I saw until today... But I am suspicious, I am a Pear Jam fan since ever...

  • @sonofsalmon56

    I word describes this performance…raw Eddie is pouring out pure emotion when he performs…a live PJ show is like a spiritual retreat. First saw them in 92 and have seen them every single time they came back to New England every time since, there is nothing like it.
    Honey now you know what we know it doesn’t get Eddie Vedder than this!

    I am just so glad that I saw them live a few years ago, being ex mil and never been in one spot long enough to enjoy the roses. Especially now 50+. I had their first album on cd when it came out. Absolutely fantastic!

    Great reaction, Rachel. I think your next Pearl Jam reaction should be the song "Alive".

    Pearl Jam was such a great band precisely because Eddie was such a great storyteller. He put himself into different characters in his songs, sometimes shifting between points of view. His lyrics are sometimes impressionistic, but they give you enough to paint a story in your mind. I highly recommend checking out the songs "Daughter," "Better Man", and" Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town." How's that title for storytelling?

  • @matthewgoodA1206

    Yes, the dawn of the 1990s, when low singing voices came back into prominence. Thinking about it, Pearl Jam’s massive commercial success, fronted by Eddie’s baritone, must’ve played a huge role in that. Guess he paved the way for low male singers everywhere. Excellent analysis and points made.

    I think this will never happen but i wish to see you reacting to Pearl Jam - Garden.
    It is such an underrated song, it has so much emotion and meaning, different interpretations. Musically it's just a beautiful arrangement, it touches you if you dive into it.

    If you liked it that much i recommend "Jeremy" also Pearl Jam official video(uncut only). Eddy has not only a great voice, but is for me the method actor of grunge era. He can really go full in and represent all emotions live he put in a song. Not many can do that.
    Also recommend Audioslave "Like a stone" and Soundgardens "Fell on Black Days" to show you the magic of chris cornell. Also one of the big 4 of the grunge era and one of the greatest singers of all time.
    If you need something special and different i highly recommend also Aurora "It happened quiet"(live at the current), she is unique and her voice is incredible.
    She also made a feat. with the Band Wadruna live called "Helvegen" written in the style of old nordic music. Also highly recommended, not without a reason it got so big.

    Thanks for doing this vid. PJ has been My Favorite Band All Time and I have seen them 7 times in 4 different Cities. Eddie Vedder is one of the best live Vocalists of all time! (Rolling Stone Voted 7th of all time) Eddie and the Band dont put on Performances rather Experiences that We are just fortunate enough to wittness. Ironically in this MTV Unplugged “Experience” He had a cold/bronchitis so can You imagine!

    met them thanks to a neighbour as a kid and were one of the first bands opening me to a whole new world of music exploration... their album live at lisbon followed me for years and some of these songs still bring me back to those young teenager years full of love, hate and pain... strange times
