He’s not singing that song. He’s living it.😢
Damn 💯 😢
And taking us along for the journey thru his soul🖤
Perfect 👏👏👏
He is showing us AV of this life using sound only.
Yes, dude!
"I might have to play this a million times over" said everyone who ever heard this song 😊
surely thats what we all do over and over yea..
Yuuuuuuup. This is my favourite song of all time hands down. Nothing can touch it. It shocks me that people don’t know this song.
She can't understand this song she really needs to hear Even Flow or Yellow Ledbetter she'd probably have to listen to them over and over a billion times😅
This is a very painful beautiful song. You could clearly see his pain as he is hitting the high notes. I LOVE this song, I could relate to this song. 🙏🏼
“My bitter hand cradled broken glass of what was everything” Gets me. Every. Time. 🥺
And just like that, another person falls instantly in love with Eddie Vedder.

Yup. Another one down 😂
She was creamin her shorts fo sho lol
We’ve all been there
Eddie Wetter 😏
I was so deeply entrenched in the 90s. It is still completely unbelievable to me, that there are adults walking among us who have never heard of Pearl Jam.
Kinda makes you feel sorry for people
Huh? Lol
@@jay606 Yes. Totally. It also makes me wonder what all I missed from the 70s even though I feel pretty well-versed in it.
Hard to believe 🤘🏻😁
I felt the same way about people not knowing Pink Floyd.
@@NunyaDammeBiznis I feel your pain now. 😂 For anyone reading this who has not listened to Animals or Ten, go do that immediately.
Now imagine being 14 years old and hearing it for the first time, then seeing him sing it live at 16. The impact this song and Eddie Vedder have had on my life is immeasurable
We're probably about the same age. Probably feeling the same emotions and memories. Haven't heard it in a very long time and I'm totally shook rn.
Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, and Eddie Vedder. The 5 horsemen of the 90's. They all sang with feeling and emotion. You can feel the songs they sing while listening.
6 if you count Daniel Johns
And only one of them still alive, no pun intended.
@@LostHate daniel johns is awesome but I’d say he comes after them. He was definitely influenced by all those guys.
& Andrew wood 💯
Truth!
MTV Unplugged created some of the greatest listening ever. So many of the unplugged albums were better than the originals.
I always say this
I couldn't agree more.
You can thank Bon Jovi. Their surprise acoustic version of Livin on a Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive at MTV Video Music Awards inspired MTV to create MTV Unplugged.
The queensryche one is fantastic too
So true. I credit Unplugged for awakening a very strong desire for live music in our generation. I still can’t believe there are adults walking among us who have never heard Pearl Jam. We can’t be THAT old.
Did we just watch her fall in love with Eddie and his voice?❤😂
yeh.. think so.. 💯
Sure did. She fell in love.
its easy to do... We've all done it.
She is gushing for Eddie 😂
I'm falling in love with her falling in love with Eddie and his voice.
Eddie reaches inside you and drags emotions out kicking and screaming. A treasure of a vocalist.
FACTS. This song is that song! Has brought me to tears for years.
So proud he is still among us and doing great things, the last of an era…the last of a particular spices of singers ✊🏻
What a beautiful and accurate way to describe the sheer emotional power his voice has over us.
That's about as accurate of a description as you can get, spot on.

That sound you cannot identify is made by heartbreak. This song encapsulates the feelings one has when they still love someone who has broken your heart.
Or it’s just called grunge…..
That’s the vocal tone used in this music genre.
@@ADR199E pearl jam like blind melon and soundgarden are beyond grunge. pearl jam turned into a great touring rock band for years after that blip.
Yep that's the sound of ultimate heartbreak
@@the.wayne.b not reason to cut the Umbilical cord. They still grunge.)
@@AlfaRiy12 lol maybe when they play even flow or alive, but these days, not even close lol
He’s impassioned and barely contained. He’s handsome, dangerous and *feeling* his words so intensely. And he’s authentic to the bone.
Song writing: excellent
Band: legendary
Voice: god-like
Intensity/emotional input: absolutely off the charts
Yup, that’s Pearl Jam in all their glory.
It makes me so happy to be alive, just to be able to experience that little slice of perfection.
Well said 👍🏽
Yes, me too! ^^
I saw them in concert on Thursday. Legendary is right. Best night ever.
Yup definitely one of the best to ever do it and one of my all time favorites

"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?"
Breaks me every time...
masterpiece song.
Crying always when I hear this song and so many of his songs
I wait for this lyric every time. It is my favorite part of an amazing song. I will not exit a vehicle with this song playing, until this line is sung.
Best lyrics in a song ever and they speak to every single one of us... we've all been there.
He performed it in honor of Chris Cornell and it was heartbreaking
Fun fact you should consider is Eddie didn’t actually want to release this song. It was so emotional for him when he wrote this he didn’t want it out there. So when you listen to it keep in mind the emotional aspects of things and how he uses his voice to project those emotions
I have never been able to sit through this song without bursting into tears at 'that line':
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why can't it be mine"
Get's me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I've never been able to sit through this song without completely falling in love with Eddie! He's so...HOT. And this song, omg.
Same. ALWAYS tear at this song. Just saw the 2 shows in Ft Worth and he sang this the first night. ♥️♥️♥️ 😢😭😭
@@IdahoRanchGirl Past Present Future. 🔥🔥🔥
My friends always laugh as I refer to him as my “future ex. “
Same.
@kaveman1978 SAME 😥 the way he screams repeating "Why" is usually my breaking point. It's just too intense.
You never forget Vedder's voice. It feels like gravity.
❤
Exactly this❤
❤❤verdade!
❤
I read that as gravy, both work
Eddie Vedder is one of a kind, and frankly has one of my favorite voices of the last 30 years
Pain. That’s that sound you can’t quite identify. This isn’t just a song for him. He’s baring his soul.
Exactly.
Yes... it's more than sound... it is an emotion that can be seen and heard.
That plus a little extra - anger. This wasn't a part of album version. The "Black" live carries so much more of emotional load.
Yes he is. Its the hardest song he's ever performed live. His words.

Over 30 years and thousands of listens to this version of Black, I still get full body goosebumps immediately, just like my first listen when it aired in 92. Man, this song frigging guts. I'm so happy and honestly proud, to hear a person of her generation really appreciate this beautiful example of what we were lucky to have back then. Thank you.
As I do also..
Me too.

Shame they peaked initially like this, though. It was all downhill from “Ten”

Moron @@negativeindustrial
Yup.
I find myself involuntarily holding my breathe by the end of this performance every time I watch it. The pain and heartbreak is so real in his every move and sound.
Eddie Vedder is a National Treasure, he's the last Original Grunge frontman we have.
When we lost Chris, my immediate thought was “someone get eyes on Eddie.” 🙁
Mr Vedder would disagree. Neil Young is still here.
We kind of all knew it would be Eddie who would carry the torch. With warm regards to Neil Young, of course.
National? You know where he was born?……
Um... Illinois? @@sjefhendrickx2257
It absolutely brings tears to my eyes to see people fascinated by this incredible song after so many years. For those of us who lived it live, it was magical. More than magical even.
I was born in 2004, I'm 19. I LOVE pearl jam, and want you to know all my friends do too, we have our whole lives. My generation is mostly tasteless and ignorant when it comes to music, but it's not as much as you think.

I got to see them two times after 10 came out. Watched this Unplugged the night it aired on MTV.
" i know someday you'll have a...." that bits been breaking my heart for 30 years
What I love most about Vedder's voice is the way he communicates not just emotion but a vulnerability. He always feels like he's confiding in us, with his sudden highness sounding almost like a moment of being overwhelmed by what he's feeling. It's such an intimate experience.

Yes. That's exactly what I feel when I listen to him. It's like he's telling us what he's feeling.
This performance is one of a kind. Eddie is 110% invested. You can feel the hurt, the emotion, the heartbreak in his voice. The vocals match exactly with the lyrics. This song gets me teary everytime I hear it.
love is so or so made from the devil... at the end it ever hurts and no other feeling can bring someone to kill another with unbelievable rage...
110% is not possible.
Same
😂😅😂
@@travzimmerman1340 You're fun at parties, huh?
also, he added 10% more words on this version than the album version, so it _does_ kinda work.
not many songs that can give you chills every single times that you listen to it, this song and lyrics are some of the best if not the best i ever heard, and his performance deserves an award

I've seen this specific live performance of Pearl Jam a couple hundred times and I literally get goosebumps every time usually at the part about when he says the girl will be a star in somebody else's sky but why but why
Probably one of my favorite lines in a song, ever!
I miss MTV playing MUSIC. The first letter. The "unpluggeds". Nirvana. PJ. Alice in Chains. 10000 Maniacs, literal last concert with Merchant.
That line *never* hurts any less
The most beautiful words
Every time... without fail.
This song is a great example of what made Grunge so special. The best bands were expressing raw emotion, which had been missing from much of the corporate crap of the late 80s that immediately preceded Grunge.
Grunge unplugged is like rock meets country and cranks it up to 11 as if it's a concert on the last day before the asteroid takes us all out. It's the best of all worlds. You don't get to hear rock get that vulnerable or country get that raw but in grunge unplugged they do. Guys like Tyler Childers sounds like that. I felt like that's where Kurt would have been heading.
Yes! Well observed!
I'm so relieved Eddy Vedder never went to a vocal coach... Imagine the loss.
@@lasey.baggins-cupitt8754
I am also relieved he didn’t go to Walgreens and get some cough drops for the cold he had that night! This concert wouldn’t have sounded half as good.
🎯🎯
He's beyond awesome. Pearl Jam's songwriting and musicality is incredible. His voice is gorgeous, and so is he. :)
I fell for him too. Everyone did. Anyone who tries to deny it is mad at themselves for being like everyone else. His voice is goddamn beautiful. A special case for sure.

You can hear his emotions, that's what you get when you listen to Eddie Vedder. You hear the pain, the rawness. It's beautiful.
I know. EVERY time. I still get goosebumps and yes, sometimes cry, when I hear the the passion and pain from these earlier songs. I think their new album is going to be kick ass. Can’t wait‼️
My late husband labeled PJ his all time favorite band.. we saw them in hamilton before he left this earth.. biggest greatest memory for me 😢
❤
They were my dad’s favourite of all time too. They were the first band I saw live (when I was 10) with him and we saw them again years later together. We played Just Breathe at his funeral in July.
I'm glad you got to share that with him. Know that in heaven they're appreciating his good taste in music!
My late husband and I saw PJ in 98. I relate. 😊

Eddie can break your heart while making you thankful to be alive.
Love to see your reaction to an unplugged version of "Alive"
Or Jeremy :) the MTV Unplugged Pearl Jam's concert was one of the best I have ever heard in my life. Yellow Ledbetter, much extended Porch, Even Flow... goosebumps just on the memory of those songs played unplugged :)
Nirvana unplugged is better, it’s also the original
@BlessedAreTheCheesemakers it’s definitely my favourite nirvana album fuckhead
This song is the epitome of crushing emotional pain. So powerfully vulnerable. It is gut wrenching every time. Absolutely brilliant. 😭
It's funny to see a young person watching it for the first time, cause Pearl Jam is kind a religion to me. I wish I could go back in time to have this feeling of listening to them for the first time too!
Could you buy two tickets please and I'll meet you on the bus
Yes, I feel the same ^^
I lost count of how many times I had to buy a new copy of ten...Just played them till they wore out.
Huge impact on many lives.
You're such a nerd, lady. And it's always such a pleasure to see someone TOTALLY nerd out on something as amazing as Eddie's voice. Thanks for sharing this.
The fact that there a people who have no idea who Pearl Jam is, shows that we’ve failed as a species over the last 30 years 😊
we didn't do the evolution, baby :)
There have been two generations since Pearl Jam. To young people today, Pearl Jam is like Buddy Holly was to us, in the 90's; many of them just aren't going to be aware of old bands.
@@redadamearth I can see your point, but Pearl Jam is still playing and releasing new material. In fact, I have their newest album Dark Matter on preorder right now. I wish the same could be said with Buddy. 🙂
This video made me realize I was officially old. I mean who has never hear Black. Get off my lawn.
Well Cory, I dont know if Id go that far.....
I would describe Eddy's vocal texture here as "Primal".

The magic of Eddie Vedder... Legendary. 😍
You need to listen to eddie and chris Cornell sing hunger strike from temple of the dog next, just two legends at their best
I second this 😎
indeed
Absolutely!❤
100% yes!
yes please!
Ahhh, back when MTV was good!!! The unplugged series was one of the best programs they had on air. Saw them back in the 91 when 10 came out. It was a killer concert. Eddie has a very unique and distinct voice. The 80s and 90s were an awesome time to be alive.
alive?
I just love that people are discovering the artist from the 80's & 90's.
Favorite front man & band of all time. You struggled defining his voice because he can't really be defined. He writes and sings from the deepest depths of his soul. After 30 years or so, I still get teary eyed during that "why can't it be mine" section. The pain is just so tangible.
Same 😢
"Favorite front man & band of all time"....surely you jest
❤❤❤
"I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky..."😢
I literally cried during that part and also after 30 years of listening. Incredible.
Spoiler warning: Eddie is a legend...
Indeed
I remember hearing Eddie sing on the soundtrack to “into the wild” from another room while my roommates watched it and was hooked after 10seconds. Literally obsessed with him. What an amazing man.
“And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass…”
Until I heard this song, I’d never had the words to describe the heartbreak of a relationship smashed to pieces. Thanks, Eddie! ❤❤❤
I can remember when I was 16 hearing Pearl Jam’s Ten album for the first time. It still is in my top 5 albums of all time. I still listen to it in its entirety to this day and I am nearly 50. Love it.
I feel the same way
Yeah... We were super lucky to be 16 in '91.
Super lucky...

Eddie vedders god mode. Emotions flowing through his bones and muscles. Trust me, you can't put a vocal framework around that.
I can't imagine not knowing the music of Pearl Jam. The 90s certainly was a special time to be alive. One of the greatest concerts I have ever been to.
I can imagine it if you are completely not interested in music at all... I don't understand why this woman are making videos about artists she knows nothing about and clearly has no interest in... Like WHO is this analysis for? There are millions of people who have analysed PJ with lots more knowledge, insights and personality than her... its just arrogant to believe people are interested in watching what she has to say . So Gen-Z... to bring absolutely nothing of substance to the table, just your opinions and feelings and then make the whole world listen to it.. the most meaningless generation of all time... no contribution whatsoever...
The analysis is for choral people like myself. A Gen X woman who enjoys watching someone analyze the voice from a musically educated standpoint of one of my favorite singers.
Seen em twice in Sydney. Unbelievable.

I've seen literally dozens of people reacting to this song for the first time, and only 1 has ever mentioned the fact that Eddie is doing this sitting down.
Strength and vulnerability at the same time… that is what makes him special… the rage from sadness is how most of us feel. That is why we relate to this band.

Eddie always sings this song like this heartbreak happened yesterday. Kills me every time.
Emotion...just raw emotion wrapped in memories screamed through a throat wracked by pain. It's beautiful. It's painful. It's a wound we can't quit touching.
Black is a raw and emotional song about the pain of lost love and letting go,pretty sad 😪
Their performance of Black and Porch on Unplugged changed the world.
no doubt about it, I'd argue state was the best performance of the night, wish it was as well known as those two.
It's so amazing to watch a critic and a analytical student of vocals to be taken in to the artist without pretense. This was what analysis of any discipline should look like. A very refreshing. Thanks for your objectivity and appreciation. I didn't learn about Pearl Jam until I was in my 70s

Was lucky enough to see Pearl Jam at the height of their fame in Paris with a small crowd, still the greatest gig i have ever been to(and ive been stage crew for 30 year)...hundreds of gigs... IMO Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell and Layne Staley epitomised what was great about the grunge era....Great vocals with emotion.Was great to see someone getting excited about music that i grew up with ...peace...
I saw them in Feb 1992 at Rock City in Nottingham, UK. There was about 200 people and I got to high five Eddie!

I live in Seattle! The Underground! The Crocodile Cafe! The Colosseum! Bumpershoot! Candlebox, Lane Staley, Screaming Trees. Eddie lives in W. Seattle! 😍😍😍😍
I was lucky enough to know people at MTV. I was at this and Nirvana.
It’s a travesty you haven’t heard Eddie before but it’s never too late to spend the next 30 years loving his body of work🖤🙌🏻
This time in rock and roll was so special because it disrupted mainstream music. Mainstream shifted from misogynistic party rock and campy love ballads thrown up by the over commercialized glam metal bands to this introspective, human examination and emotional struggle offered up by bands like Pearl Jam. And all of those unfamiliar nuances of a voice like Eddie's is an expression of the introspective emotional struggle that we all have tucked away. I think that's why we were swept away by it, we all can relate in some way. I love your discovery of this. Brilliant reaction.
Watching someone hear this for the first time is almost as captivating as the original song. Your instant appreciation is heart warming and fantastic. I love this video.
It gave me goosebumps. And transported me. I found myself holding my breath and I watched her fall in love just like I did way back then😢 phewwwie

The drums are really the amazing flower that make this song ring. The highlights and trills on the cymbals and high hat are as dynamic as vedders voice with the drive of the snare. What an amazing group
No one has ever touched me so deeply with their voice as Eddie Vedder. True inspiration for me. 🤍

Thats the thing about 90's grunge bands, most of the vocalists have such a unique style and tone. From Kurt, to Eddie, to Chris, to Lane. They are all amazing and have such heart in their music.
Sad that Eddie is the only one alive out of these 4 amazing singers!

Listening to Eddie Vedder is a spiritual experience everytime. ❤️
There were no reaction channels when bands like this came out but its a very cool thing seeing reactions to really good music from another time. Well done again 🙂
Sure, but it is really hard to accept she has never heard this before!
@@justincase3108 a vocal coach suggesting she has never heard one of the greatest singers from one of the greatest bands that has dozens of hits is just insulting.

Hearing Eddie passionately sing, "We belong together," brings back so many painful memories.

Hearing pear jam for the first time is special. Man the 90's were fun
I like how this professional woman actually appreciates Eddie. 👍👍👍👍👍
I find great joy in watching someone else fall in love with the music, with Eddie, with PJ - with all the things that has made music like this the soundtrack of my life.
The "star in someone else's sky" bit is probably the greatest/most heartbreaking lyric of all time. Just sayin. Also, Eddie Vedder actually managed to make The Boss shed a tear at the Kennedy Center Honors about fifteen years ago. Supercool.
"Wow" is the only word needed to react to this performance.
Intensity is the name of this performance. Not just Eddie Vedder but the drums, so many crash hits, it's so powerful with the singing.
Everything exists with its opposite, we must remember death so that we can understand the value of life, seek to live life correctly and beautifully and prepare for death in the best way. Sometimes we must remember.
Transitory life..

I was in high school in the early 90s and I clearly remember and feel the dawn of grunge and coming into the scene via MTV. I grew up in a small Texas town and I was blown away by grunge, immediately fell in love. Singers like Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley/Jerry Cantrell, Chris Cornell, and other greats changed my life. Grunge takes me to another place, another time and I don’t want to come back to the now. Those of us who are a part of GenX and loved this genre will always, ALWAYS turn to this music. It allowed us to feel sad and angry and romantic all at the same time. I absolutely love this genre and Pearl Jam is one of the best.
Well said!! 😊🩷🤟✌️
Back then MTV used to play music. Until it turned into Empty TV.
I could not have said it any better
I love how universal this is - I felt exactly the same, in high school in the early 90s, but in Hungary!😊

Eddie remains my favourite male vocalist of all time. He goes from perfectly smooth notes with stunning tone, to massively gritty growls. The control, artistry and emotion. And the hair I mean… ❤
Vulnerable, that's exactly it. Eddie lays it all out there, and you can see his bandmates look at him with care and sometimes even concern, because he was so raw and exposed, and they knew it was emotionally exhausting to go that deep and to lay there stripped bare for all to see his pain... We all felt it.
_And twisted thoughts that spin_
_'Round my head_
_I'm spinning_
_Oh, I'm spinning_
Hey kids. Gen-X metalhead here. You might know some Gen-Xers that get weird in certain places and certain situations. I can't speak for all of us, but this song speaks for _so many_ of us. We got spun in the early nineties. And some of us never really stopped. The sun dropped away so quickly for us, and we never really processed that.
And that tension you feel hearing Eddie or Chris or Kurt singing through barely parted lips? That tension that tears at your heart so much? What you're feeling and hearing is the dilemma of the child of a baby boomer desperately trying to force into their voice the stoicism that the baby boomers praised and valued so much in the silent generation that raised them, while they are _just as compelled_ to express the love and hate and rage and sadness that the baby boomers had absolutely no time or inclination or talent or will to guide us through.
Singing that pain through closed lips is an attempt to stop the spinning.
Fuck, does this song break me.
This was such a cool video, not for just because I love Pearl Jam but because your reaction was so pure, genuine and down right cool! I could watch you watch Eddie and react for ages. Thank you for sharing such a cool video. I think I will appreciate the band even more now 😁
The grunge movement is based on feelings, not professional vocals. One of the best voices known for the era. You nailed it when you said grit.

Eddie wrote this song after his wife left him. He didn't want to include it on their albums, but his bandmates convinced him to do it. You aren't seeing Eddie perform a song. You're seeing him relive that experience.
Actually, when Eddie wrote this he wasn’t married yet. He didn’t marry Beth until 1994. This song was about a difficult break-up with another girlfriend.
@@maggieshevelew7579 Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
His wife never left him. He left his wife........for Jill.
@@travzimmerman1340 Yours is the 4th version of this song that I've heard. I give up, lol.
@@travzimmerman1340 Wrong. Eddie didn’t meet Jill until after he and Beth split up. In fact, he was supposedly devastated by the divorce. It’s nice to see he finally found happiness with Jill, who he finally married in 2010, and his two daughters.
