That “90’s” voice you’re talking about, this is the guy. The reason you have that in your head is because of Eddie Vedder. He’s amazing!
Pretty sure many people would say "sensual" is actually a pretty good word to describe Eddie Vedder's voice. Thanks for another great reaction.
Visceral
I listen to this song (and this version) at least once a week. I have for decades. It’s a masterpiece. Grunge is primal.
MTV Unplugged was always acoustic. Hence the ‘unplugged’.
This is what pain looks and sounds like. Maybe the greatest live vocal performance of all time!
I rank this in my top 5 live performances of all time. Eddie has an awesome voice.
Thanks, James. We were all wondering if you liked it or not.
Grunge was a lifestyle. The clothes, (thrift store) cars (older used) furniture (found on curb).
In music it translated into being REAL! Nothing fake. Beautiful sounds took a backseat to writing songs that were relatable. Often touching subjects people didnt want to talk about.
As glam rock hit its zenith, the manufactured, the makeup, the production, the pyro, and lyrics about being the best, then all the sudden here came grunge. It was a moment like the Emperor's New Clothes, that we realized the the glam rock stuff was largely a farce...
Real..authentic...in your face..no B.S!! Could not be intimidated by society..by no one! But all with intense emotions from the soul...
Spot on
Dude, we still go crazy over Pearl Jam 😎
I love how he was surprised that the unplugged version was acoustic 😂
how popular they were. hahahaha that is straight up a legit laugh out loud question for me as a child of the 90's.
yeh they were kinda popular.
as in they're pearl jam.
Pearl Jam is definitely a rabbit hole you need to go down. Eddie Vedder’s voice is absolutely amazing. Would recommend “Yellow Ledbetter”, “Last Kiss” and “Jeremy”
"Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town", "Alive", I mean you cant find a bad on on Ten or the next one in general.
@@Iansco1 "up on my tree" "smile" "I am mine" " of the girl" seriously I could go on an on. This band got better with age. Way better.
Grunge is about raw imperfect emotion
Alive, Jeremy, Even Flow are some of their hits.
My favorite is "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter In a Small Town".
I second this
One of my favorites that not many people mention is Oceans.
Never heard of that one. I'll check it out.
yes to all these
Yellow ledbelly,
Animalistically evocative voice. Gotta love Eddie Vedder.
Nirvana and Pearl Jam are the 2 bands that lead the opening of the Grunge movement and sound.
That's just what Eddie does. Not one else like him.
I love Eddie, Chris Cornell, and Layne Staley. Grew up in the 90’s lol.
Yes. They were extremely popular. I remember sitting on the floor glued to the TV watching this live.
Love Eddie's vocals so much in everything! Oh and yeah, he IS very handsome!
Was and still is "handsome" lol
How many times have I've watched this, eleventy billion? Still gives me chills.
I don't think there IS a popular, they have so SO many. There was no gray area with Eddie, still isn't. He puts his all into everything he sings.
I'll leave other suggestions up to everyone else, because there is no bad one. 🙂 I'm so glad you liked it, and I sure damn hope get to see more 💚
Nice pick
Same!!!!
Just saw them in concert in San Diego! They are STILL amazing!!
Grunge was labelled to this type of music because it was so raw and gritty - before this rockstars that were popular were hair bands, all about the look and living the high life and then Nirvana came out with other bands such a Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc that all had this look and attitude that was like "f all that" it was about the way regular people felt, the emotions, the pain, the "angst", and so fourth.
This is the first time seeing one of your videos but you should take a trip down the "Grunge" road, as well as a video I always suggest to people: "How Smells Like Teen Spirit Changed the World".
Coming from Seattle i always felt Grunge was a movement akin to Punk in the 70's. More stripped down heart felt singing from the soul and putting everything out on your sleeve. No flashy shit just straight in your face rock that moves your soul to tears or joy...no unskinny bop-bop here.
I think the movements share many common elements, the punks were rebelling against the "Clean" society that wanted them to conform, and the grunge kids, growing up in middle class America, only saw a future of becoming a corporate drone as the tech and wall st. revolution occurred in the 80's and 90's...IMHO, the differentiating factor is that the punks thought that they MAY actually win the war and is much more outspoken and bombastic, whereas the grunge movement has a much more haunting inevitability of disaster and impending doom feel or at least resignation to the fatal inevitability of it all about it that just rips those emotions right to the surface and puts them on full display...Reminds me of Shelly's, Ozymandias...no matter how hard you try, fate and time will eventually turn you to dust.
@@42Mrgreenman very well said
Key observation..... "Oh my gosh"!!!! Yup, that pretty much summed it up! Lol Great reaction!
Helene here, Sal. I really “discovered” grunge during lockdown. I didn’t listen to the genre when it was big, being in my forties at the time, those weren’t the stations I listened to. But I’ve come to appreciate and respect the HELL out of those bands from Seattle……my hometown. Grunge, as a genre, I would say is defined by its dark subject matter, its dark vibe in general, it’s anger, it’s hard edge, it’s heavy bass, and a certain style of singing. The vocalists of the main bands are universally great singers…….Eddie Vedder of PJ is the only one still with us. Lost the others to drugs and Suicide. I think that’s why grunge lasted a relatively short time: the music was excellent, but it was so dark and I think people wanted to go lighter after awhile. It’s filled with youthful angst, and most of us get out of that stage after a bit. BUT…..definitely listen to more grunge…it’s excellent rock….Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden are main bands.
I'd like to add that grunge also was "raw" in many ways, and not cleaned up or dressed up. The sound isn't produced to seem too polished but more like it was live, the style is simple without makeup or theatrics, no stage pyrotechnics etc.
Additionally to the descriptions above me, Grunge was a reaction to the hair metal of the 80's. So as stated by Fenrir, not overproduced, but also musically a little more base driven, no guitar solo's. Less emphasis on flashy musicians and more emphasis on tight music. Good musicians that crafted good music, with an emphasis on emotion not flash. I still love grunge as much today as I did then.
I remember watching this performance on MTV. A yes, Pearl Jam was a big deal. Oh my goodness the songs they put out. I’d say some other popular ones are:
1. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town”
2. Evenflow
3. Alive
Many, many more from there. The catalog is deep.
And I believe you nailed the description of the “Grunge” genre. It was not only the style musically, but it actually spilled over into fashion as well. Such a great t-shirt and jeans era that I’m happily stuck in. 😊
I’ve seen Pearl Jam live about 9 times. They are phenomenal and are definitely a HUGE band with a huge following. I recommend listening to release which is the first track on this same album. It’ll give you chills
Holy shiz I love Release. Thanks for that reminder, I'll make him listen to that too lol.
Release is my favorite song from PJ and they played it in zurich this year. Chills all over my body.
Pearl Jam were HUGE! "Evenflow" "Jeremy" "Alive" "Last Kiss"
Alive, better man, even flow, Jeremy are all up there
Its called an “Eddie-Vedderism”. You dont know its one until you become a pearl jam fan. Unique talent. Hail Eddie
The "Jeremy" Official Video has 134 Million views. "Jeremy" from this Unplugged concert has another 18 Million views. And then there are various other versions running around that add up to another 50+ or so Million views. The Official Video for "Even Flow" has about 130 Million views. And then there are unplugged and concert versions. Their big huge 90's album was named "Ten" and you can pick anything off of it. All of them are bangers.
I love the PinkPop 92 version of this. So emotive.
When you were looking for the right words to describe the overall feel, I'd say it was primal and raw. Something we probably all can relate to at some level. It's so emotional, sad, angry, sensual. And he has such a great vessel to express those with. Also, think this is my third time watching this since you first posted it. 😆 Definitely worth revisiting. Thanks for the reaction!
Pearl Jam’s greatest hit would have to be……. Ten. The entire f’n album 🤘😎🤘
Eddie Vedder is still going strong. My bestie roadtrips his concerts across the country all the time. I am more pf a casual listener. This is my favorite performance from PJ, but I also love the songs "Even Flow", "Alive" & "Jeremy".
They were one of the first bans to play at the Empire Polo Club, where the now world famous Coachella Festivals are played. 25k people atrended. It was in 93 and I had just moved to palm springs from L A area. I didn't go nor did I listen to them. I back then. I enjoy them now and they were very big in 90s.
IMO this is one of the best live performances I have seen (I wish I was there in person). The lyrics are stunning, the band perfect and Eddies voice and performance is mesmerising. What an absolute pleasure. I wish I could watch this for the first time again - I have probably watched this over a thousand times
There are definitely a few more amazing live Pearl Jam performances that are absolute must sees because of how insane they are, including:
- “Porch” live from Pinkpop ‘92
- "Better Man" live from Madison Square Garden
Always good vibes when I see another person pulled into the PJ web. I believe Given To Fly was their biggest billboard hit #1 for 5 weeks, 22 total weeks on the chart. They currently continue to receive grammys and billboard placement for their work. I have tickets to see them in Amsterdam next month and am so ecstatic. ✌️
Also grunge was a name originally given to Seattle bands who came out in the early 90's. It was a style (dressed down, even ragged clothes) The vocal styling was also similar, Rock with a more forward placement as most country singers do. The different bands had similar attributes, but all had a unique sound. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Mudhoney and Screaming Trees all jumped onto the mainstream scene around '91,
taking the world by storm.
RIP those who were lost before their time.
Grunge= raw emotion
MTV UNplugged, by its very nature, was acoustic That was the point…..,take these hard rock and grunge bands…unplug them and enjoy the melodies and emotions. Most famous unpluggeds that I know about are the grunge bands Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains. All excellent. It was this series by MTV which got Page and Plant back together to reimagine many of the Zeppelin songs in their catalogue. But they, being who they are, didn’t just unplug. They brought in an Egyptian orchestra, a hurdy-gurdy player, an orchestral string section, an Indian singer and more to create an amazing performance, which they then toured. Their new collaboration lasted about six years, ending in 1999.
Pearl Jam - Jeremy (uncensored version)
Based on a true story.
To me Grunge is 70's style music with dark themes. In the 70's groups like Zeppelin were singing about women with flowers in their hair. Grunge is them singing about men with heroine needles in their arms. Grunge deals more with inner pain. I love grunge because of the similarities to 70's music and that it is unique because of the topics they sing about.
By the way, this song has electric guitars on the album. "The "Unplugged" format meant no electric guitars.
Hugest hit is one of their first. ALIVE. They still thankfully play it EVERY SHOW. It's changed meanings over the years but the power is THERE. Some probably say Jeremy because of the video. There's MANY PERFECT PEARL JAM songs. Just listen to a pile of live shows and decide for yourself. But impossible to say what's best because it's mood dependant and the night
The music, the voice & the lyrics = the perfect trifecta.
"Jeremy" is a must. 😎
One of the best live performances ever and the best one out of all MTV Unplugged idgaf what anyone says. And probably the one song where i like both studio and live versions equally.
Eddies Personal backstory is mindblowing! His passion, lyrics, voice is not a performance based singing its an experience a moment in time! The best “live”american rock band of all time! Their songs are jams (hence pearl jam) well orchestrated by massive talent by every member! Incredible and legendary
Pearl Jam is amazing, one of my favorite bands. You should definitely do the video for Jeremy (the uncensored version), and I would recommend Betterman live from Madison Square Garden in 2010. It's a great example of the crowd interaction you see at a Pearl Jam show.

While the Unplugged performances for Pearl Jam are amazing, their Austin City Limits set is phenomenal…. I highly recommend watching the whole hour… you won’t be disappointed.
Heyyy happy to see you checking out Pearl Jam! I definitely second the requests for “Porch” live from Pinkpop ‘92 - that’ll give you a better idea of their live performances, they’re insane. The official video for “Jeremy” - uncensored version is a must-see as well
Em!! I've missed you!
Anything from their “Ten” album. Alive, Even Flow, Jeremy, Porch, Why Go, Garden. Take your pick!
Back in the day, we listened to the whole album, and the fans decided what would be a hit, not the production company that just put out the singles.👍🏻🙂
Oh my! You need to do research on the 'grunge' sound of the 90's. They were one of THE MOST RELEVANT bands of that time and are still making incredible music and touring.
"maybe even some acoustic...we'll see..." Salvo, it says on the title MTV Unplugged. It was very common on the 90's MTV's invitation to main bands, to an acoustic "intime" concert, wish later would be edited in an exclusive album. All main 90's bands and solo artists went for it.
This is Eddy Vedder man… emotional, sensual and bloody intens. Saw them live a couple of times. Still got the LP “Ten”. (You know… those big black round vinyl things?)
How can you listen to that and not get goosebumps or put yourself in that place. Love your reaction new sub looking forward to checking more out
That is a good description of quite a few of what would be called grunge bands that their singers have a grungy raw sound to their voice. But what I also find very singular to the 90s is the self-deprecating emotional journey that musicians were allowed to take during this decade. In the '80s you had hair bands that talked about you know girls and partying and whatnot. And then you got into the 90s and you've got lightning crashes by live and zombie by The cranberries and you've got Pearl jam and I feel like the 90s were really Historic musically, where people were able to be completely vulnerable.
Listen to Jeremy. They won a Grammy for that one.
It's called GOOD FUCKING MUSIC! rock grunge, just good music
I always prefer them live. Thanks for a trip down memory lane. ☮️
Jeremy unplugged will blow your mind
This was my time. I was in High School when this came out. I think the "Grunge" thing was really just an attempt to label an emotion.....which was a bit of a fools errand..... even thought it stuck. This was just good at the end of the day. Blues based rock music with (At the time) a new flavor that people didn't really know how to deal with.
It's just Fu%&ing good at the end of the day. And that's what really matters. Glad you enjoyed!! :)
That whole concert was amazing
You have to check out "Jeremy" with the official video!!
His voice is amazing. He almost sounds better live than on his studio recordings. Not sure what the biggest hit was as they (/he) had SO many. Apparently, he had a cold when this was done.
MTV Unplugged is all acoustic, that is what is meant by "Unplugged".
The needed subtitles to truly appreciate the song not an insult bc 99% of ppl do the first time.
This band was and is EXTREMELY popular!! So many great songs. Eddie has a fantastic voice!
Sal that is what is so great about Pearl Jam. There is no 1 hit song. There are so so many!!
For more grunge and mtv unplugged check out nirvana’s where did you sleep last night
They are fantastic live.
"I'm expecting something slower and possibly accoustic..." Hmmm unplugged, so yeah definitely accoustic.
Check out Jeremy, Even Flow, and Alive. Eddie Vedder has one of those voices that is just haunting and without an equal.
that is better than the album they sound better live amazingly
Grunge was originally referring to the down tuned, grungy, fuzzed guitar riffs (which don’t really apply to this acoustic version).
Eddie’s voice and singing style became so popular it was copied by a lot of later bands and kinda became a meme before there was such a thing.
He also had a chest cold during this performance which makes it even more amazing.
In the early 90’s PJ was one of the most popular bands around the world and they still have a huge worldwide following today.
Grunge is raw, emotional, hard, fast, not to mention the clothes!!
Eddies performance and sincerity, combined with the lyrics is on another level. He leads you and shares his visceral journey which is an emotionally exhausting and pleasurable dichotomy.
Grunge was essentially the term given to the rock sound coming out of the NW US.. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and countless others brought that raw emotion to the forefront in a time that rock n' roll was coming out of the glam phase.
THIS…. I love the grunge time. Eddie’s voice is one in a million. This song, I can feel it, feel all the emotions. I don’t really care for the live version but that voice. I feel it all. 👏👏👏💕💕✌️✌️✌️✌️
The reason his voice is 90's style is because he basically WAS the voice of the 90's. Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder really owned that time. There were others of course but yah, Kurt Cobain was super influential as well but of course we know what happened there.
Pearl Jam was one of the premier Grunge Rock bands from the Seattle, Wash. area in the 90's..
He needed to be this good to be noticed in the 90s.
It must have been difficult to contend with techno .
Their biggest hits are probably Black, Alive, Even Flow and Jeremy - all from their debut album!
Best voice ever
And the Live performance you HAVE to react to is PORCH Pink Pop....
That's a good show!
90's rock has the best. I couldn't tell you the name of a rock band today.
That's just the way he sounds studio live and unplugged he just got it like that
Makes me cry every time. What woman in her right mind would destroy that man like she obviously did? 💔😭
I think the term “grunge” referred to the look as much as the sound. In the 80’s MTV era, we were used to “glam” in our hard rock/metal music, meaning make-up and big hair and black leather…then along came Nirvana…messy, unwashed, angsty….we were all hooked. I remember my ripped jeans and flannels were like a uniform for me after that.
I'm 63, I arrived way late to the Pearl Jam train. Glad I found it though.
Legendary
You can also listen to PJ's later version of Black(Live At Benaroya Hall)👍
Eddie sings about his break up for real.This gotta hurt,class act!!
Eddie Vedder was recovering from bronchitis when this was recorded!
Reaction and analysis stellar here thank you love you
Their hugest hit is the song you choose, mine is Porch
My fav song. Overall, of all bands, genres etc etc. Though my fav version is the Atlanta concerts version.
Dude, it's MTV unplugged. Only acoustic guitars allowed lol.
vaguely remember seeing this show years and years ago. I guess the name of the show makes sense now LOL
Still a good guess lol
"I don't know what it's called, but he's really good at it!" 🤣Never heard a better description of Eddie Vedder!!
Sensual is the RIGHT word!
Grunge was a lifestyle. It’s unapologetically unpolished and raw. It’s real.
Yes 😂❤
