![His Voice! Full of pain yet beauty 😩| Pearl Jam - Black (MTV Unplugged) [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jnZOqqcrH7U/mqdefault.jpg)
The “I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life” section is so perfectly worded. Eddie really captured that pain so well I tear up every time he sings it.
It hurts, doesn't it?
Every man has lived through that experience.

@Dz ntz sorry for your loss. I’ve found my name is pretty popular through the years as I’ve ran into several people name Daniel Rodriguez. I’m an average guitarist though.
“I know you’ll be a star, in somebody else’s sky.” That’s a great verse!
It is but, in this song its the "But Why!!!" that gets me, because NOBODY can answer that!
Perfect👌
Dt
This section of the song rips me to pieces every time. That star was once in my sky too
But why?
he wrote this song about a long lost love. The line where he says " I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star , in somebody else's sky but why why can't it be mine!" gets me right in my bitter old heart.
It’s not that bitter 😉
Its at that part of the song is where it hits your emotions raw!
It's not about a relationship. He gave up a child for adoption.
Best pearl jam line❤
@@jborbz1195 In the book Pearl Jam Twenty Eddie Vedder said: “It’s about first relationships. The song is about letting go. It’s very rare for a relationship to withstand the Earth’s gravitational pull and where it’s going to take people and how they’re going to grow.”
I'm 53 years old and remember watching this on MTV when it originally aired. And even now after seeing this performance dozens and dozens of times it still makes me tear up. This is my all-time favorite performance of my all-time favorite song.
55 me too..
54. Here. Saw all the greats. Music was amazing then
Im 53 too. This is epic. Music then cannot be recreated
53 too, still hits hard to this very day..
I'm 52 and also remember seeing this when it originally aired way back in the day. It was for me a moment that made me realize that even though music was changing it was still great. This unplugged performance, the entire performance not just this song was amazing.
Their album Ten was a masterpiece in the beginning of the 90s, drawing a lot of attention. You should definitely check it out if you haven't yet.
10 is perfect, once in a lifetime
knowing that he never wanted this song to be a single or to be in the album at all because of the pain from his break up ... makes this song so much more more powerful. One of my favorite Rock Albums of all time if not my favorite
Ten is in my top 3 albums of all time Black is a masterpiece
So agreed..! 💯🙌
An absolute masterpiece that only drew 2 minor hits in the U.K. and that makes me so sad cos they be were so much better than fuckin nirvana and jumble REM
The grunge era was stacked with talent, pixies "monkeys gone to heaven, where is my mind"...nirvana "something in the way, love buzz, lake of fire"....soundgarden "Black hole sun, rusty cage, fell on a black day"......Alice in chains "would, the rooster, we die young".....pearl jam "Jeremy, even flow, the garden" just all round killer songs so much soul/passion/heart was hucked at first listen back in the 90's
Sad that the Screaming Trees are always forgotten in the grunge scene. The Oblivion album is a gem. Another band, but from the British side in the 90's that needs some attention is EAT with their album Epicure.
Hear hear!
Here's a recording from 2.5 thousand years ago:
czcams.com/video/n3r9KWth84Y/video.html
I was there if you would believe, I was 14 years old... We where alowed back then :P
Grunge is a Genre that died too soon.. Sadly, the Arriving of Nu metal took over the liking of the tennagers on late 90's ,so grunge wasnt the thing anymore.
I second the pixies. My fave song by them is Where Is My Mind
Note Seattle, but Smashing Pumpkins also had their fair share. Disarm, 33, Bullet , 1979, Cherub Rock
and LIVE! they did this LIVE! no retakes, no overdubs, 100% live and raw. Every single note carried so much passion, so much emotion. It's simple to hear this song in this format for the 2 millionth time and know that these 5 guys were absolutely in love with expressing themselves through music. Such a great song and great reaction!
Yes...and he messes up the lyrics and were so present in the moment to know that even with that small gaffe that they put on a epic performance of this song.
@@garywycuff1948 Yes, you're the first person I've seen mention this!
Truly a once in a lifetime performance.
After seeing this 1000 times...I still tear up every time. Such a powerful performance.
Same, man.
Same
My wife passed away a year ago and this song constantly reminds me of her, it hurts
I hope I am not overstepping, but Eddie's performance of Release helps me in my grief...especially this version: czcams.com/video/Y2vwLBkA4vg/video.htmlsi=HcJxo4-6ihtQx-Ar
My condolences to you and your family sir. 😔🙏
In my opinion that's hands down best version of Black I've ever seen performed by my favorite band👍. Like she says you can feel his emotions pouring out thru entire performance. Eddie is the last front man from a special time in music history and God only knows how much I miss the grunge era. Was a special time in life❤️👍. So grateful PJ is still going strong. Gonna see them for the 28th time next month at Ohana festival in Dana Point Cali 😁👍. Good to be alive today living in the present tense👍. To all PJ fans love u all❤️
Fellow jammer here! ❤
Eddie Freakin' Vedder. The voice, the passion, the charisma, the performance! Great reaction.
Doesn’t get Eddie Vedder than this.
She said it- You weren`t listening to a song. You were experience a moment. And a movement. Just like we did back in the day.
If you react to "Jeremy" from Pearl Jam i recommend the official video uncut, the unplugged Version is very good but the context and song is better expressed in the official video(Evenflow is also recommended). Also their song "Evolution" was impressiv but insanly depressing(the award wining offical video is amazingly drawn, but the emotional summary of humankind is really not light on your mind). Keep on rocking Aileen, greetings from Cologne.
I was about to say the same thing. I am not usually a big fan of music videos but that is a must see, very powerful.
I almost always prefer not watching the music video. Jeremy is a huge exception, a haunting fucking music video. So good.

This song is the only single reason my name ain’t fkg Mario
Pearl jam lovers in Algeria salut to germany
"Oceans" from this unplugged performance is magical. I highly, highly recommend it.
I like to get stoned while listening to Oceans
The entire unplugged album/episode is magic.
Girl, I was crying with you, and I've been listening to this song for like 30 years lol. That song was kinda the anthem for the broken-hearted for my generation...if that performance didn't make you feel something, you need a new soul. Eddie's still amazing, one of the most important voices of our time.
I've seen several comments about this, so I'll reiterate it ~ Jeremy should be next, and it should be the official unedited version. But if you cried at this song...bring your tissue box. It's an incredibly important song, the story's impact is best felt through the official video. "Porch" live at pinkpop festival is next on the list after Jeremy.
This is why so many people absolutely loved Pearl Jam. Eddie felt every word he sang and you knew he meant it.
"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."
One of the most profound and emotionally raw lyrics ever written.
Plus the way he delivers it is just...
I'm still too close to this lyric since 1994, I'm still not ready to discuss.
@@hazysummersky Yeah I feel that one :(
So, I was in my prime years for grunge, and even being a metal head, I LOVED it. However, Pearl Jam was of my least favorite. In my later years now, I've come to appreciate them so much more. The studio version of this song is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time
@@davidphillips9726 There are bands from every generation that I grew to like over time. Some turned out to be all-time favorites. As I get older I learn to slow down and actually listen to music as well as "feel" the music. It has opened me up to artists and bands that I wouldn't even give a chance when I was younger. It's great!
I hope you take this the right way, but it makes me so happy that you wept. It is important for our souls to connect to music and for it to mean something. Your channel is a breath of fresh air. You watch with openness and appreciation and, for me anyway, you make me feel like I'm listening for the first time. thank you and you have a forever follower in me. oh and not even for your channel, but watch the official video(full length unedited) for Jeremy by Pearl Jam. It is scary how relevant it still is in 2022 as it was in 1991. --- be well
Thank you 🖤
I agree! It’s meant to make you feel his pain so tears when you hear it are appropriate!
“We belong,
“We belong,
“We belong together”
That’s for my mom and dad. 💔🌹
I know I'm late to the comment section here but just consider for a minute that Eddie, and Kurt Cobain, and Layne Stayley, and Chris Cornell all started bands in the Seattle area in the 80's. How one city could be so blessed with that ridiculous amount to talent all at one time. Wish I could've been there so see them all in the local scene. Just incredible.
Keep in mind, Eddie came from the LA/SD area of California to join the band...
My old supervisor used to own a record store there and talked about the days before they were all huge and would just come by the store. Absolutely wild
If you’re not familiar with Mother Love Bone, look up Andrew Wood.
I was born in Tacoma Wa a little south of Seattle in 1980 and left to Texas when I was 10 years old. Something I remember as a kid was in elementary school, the curriculum was teaching us music theory in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. They really push the arts in school in that area at least when I was there. They had none of that in Texas until middle school. Needless to say I was drawn to music early in life because of this and became a musician. This could have been why such musical talent came from that area at the time.
“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”
Leaves me broken time and time again
One of the greatest live performances of any genre ever. Simply amazing.
Facts
I'm from Seattle and lived through the entire "grunge era." Eddie was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet, he'd talk to you about anything but just don't fan on him as he'd walk away from you. This particular song was very personal to him and he did not like talking about it, or listening to others do so. All I can really say is that it was a great time to live in Seattle and I miss it very much.
You can't experience the pain of 1st love until you have loved .
Loved your reaction. The thing about Eddie Vedder is that he can’t sing any song without putting his entire being into it. He gives 100% every time. His lyrics are poetry, and while his voice has deepened, and he doesn’t hit the high notes as much anymore, it’s still beautiful 30 years later. Pearl Jam is a deep rabbit hole worth diving into, as is Eddie’s solo work. I simply adore his voice. If you react to his work, I’ll be listening. Subscribed.
If you thought this was was raw emotion, wait until you hear "Release me" That one still makes me cry!
"Release" live please!
Still my favorite song on this album, and from the band. Ever since I first heard it back when I was in 8th grade.
@@azja6666 Both old and new versions of the live song are amazing too!
Ever since my Dad passed away that song absolutely tares me up, inside and out.
“Release Me” is my favorite PJ song.
They have so many great songs. Over 30 years worth.
I subscribed just because of your emotional reaction to Eddie's tremendous performance. I'm so glad you felt the same emotion that I and plenty of others feel/felt when watching this wonderful rendition of Black.
Now THAT is how you react to Black by Pearl Jam. I love your reactions so much. Keep up the hard work!
thank you so much!
Agreed.
@@AileenSenpai I highly recommend these three songs by Pearl Jam. "Last Kiss"..."Release"...."Garden". Not live but the album versions.
OMG! Thank you Alieen! Thats some great Music! I also recommend Even Flow, Alive, Daughter and Jeremy (Official Video). Eddie Vedders Voice is one of a kind. There is just no one like him. ❤️
All great songs i want to add Garden to the list
@@chrono050 ❤️ ten is a masterpiece
@@someoneyoudontknow342 and Vs was better
@@FeelItRising i love both. Vs was the first one ive listened tho
I love Eddie’s voice!! One of the best and most recognizable voices ever! Please listen to Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog, it’s Eddie and Chris Cornell (one of the best voices in rock) and you will fall in love with both of them!
Agreed. The Chris/Eddie vocal mix was so awesome.
I don't know what it is about watching other people's reactions to this performance, but it's almost validation for how deeply this song, the lyrics and the passion all resonate with me emotionally. It moves me to tears every time because like many people, I too, have felt this way about a lost love. This is cathartic, I guess. Thank you for the free therapy session lol
Yes! It's amazing to me because I remember the very first time I heard this song- just the CD version,and still having that "whoa" feeling and having to take a deep breath. It's nostalgic to see these younger people feeling the same thing I felt back then.
Your reaction to this is exactly what a ton of us felt. It’s a powerful song.
One of the most powerful performances I've ever seen! Beyond emotion!
I love what you are doing
Eddie Vedder instantly transports me back to the 90s when i was listening to this for the first time. Just like then, it never fails to make me tear up and nostalgic. As a teenager filled with undescribable Angst, the Voice the Music the lyrics , Convey Everything I cant logically express verbally
Oh my god, this is such a powerful performance. I've seen it 100 times and every time feels like the 1st time. Chokes me up, chills, just blows me away with passion he sings, like he's singing YOUR story. He's a treasure.
Songs like this show just how great Eddie and Chris Cornell,RIP, are and why they were such great friends. They both have a voice that can move you in so many ways
So many great songs off of Pearl Jams debut album 10. Jeremy, Even Flow,Black was the one the really got to me emotionally, and this unplugged performance shows how intense Eddie Vedder can be in front of the mic, awesome choice of song and performance.
Back when you bought an album/CD/record and it has ZERO bad songs. Pearl Jam's " Ten " was TIMELESS
@@stephen9302 I agree I remember many late night Cruise's blasting this CD, especially Jeremy I think when it was released it was so different and yeah it was a jam for my car anyways.😊
@@lantzkeefer6 HECK YA!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘I was a 90's kid , but the music of the 90's ( and even 1970's) will NEVER be matched. 70's had Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, MANY OTHERS) and 90's had Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains....to name a FEW) GREAT TIMES!!! The past 15-20 years (while there's still good stuff out there) has slowly fallen off a CLIFF since these days!!
@@stephen9302 It's scary how new music has lost its ❤️
And Release, the greatest of them all.
He had alot of drama with his wife back then. He's a great singer, especially live. I saw Pearl Jam live before I saw Alice in Chains ⛓️ live, THEY BOTH ARE UP THERE WITH BEST LIVE BANDS I'VE EVER SEEN
To anyone who has felt a relationship fall apart and for love to be unrequited this song hits. Its like a grieving process when the person you love moves on and you have to accept they'll be happy with somebody else while you dwell in your sadness over the heartache.
love watching ppl react to this song. It's a banger :D good job!
Wow! Unique voice, a LOT of power. I don't think I've ever heard him before... I'll have to look up more Pearl Jam.
Definitely check them out. I think you just might rate them a _Ten._ 😉
Besides the heavily emotional delivery Eddie pulled off for this performance, the other thing I truly admire is how he just went for it, in that acoustic setting. It was a very small crowd, but also intimate, and as a vocalist you have to push thru and give it everything. And Eddie absolutely did.
That's the real True emotions that came out right there! You're in it and can't stop it anymore, want listen to the end because you're in a flow. That song and the way it was performed here is so ass-kicking good, I heard it like a thousand times and still can't get enough! One of the best live acts ever!
I still remember when their album came out which while I was in high school. My friend had just got dumped by his gf so he wanted to listen to this song; poor guy looked completely defeated and destroyed. Since then though he found great girl, married and with kids. And if I recall, Eddie had a head cold or flu when unplugged was recorded. But he still puts that raw emotion, face gestures as he sings.
Ah yes now shes down the unplugged alley. The whole pearl jam performance is great but im glad you reacted to this song. Check out other unplugs. I recommend alice in chains, nirvana, and stone temple pilots
I let all of my emotions flow through this song when my ex sent me on my way this past February. As beautiful of a song that it is, it's a knife that still pierces what's left of my heart.
Sadly this live version was shortened but for full lyrics:
Hey, oh
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Oh and all I taught her was everything
Oh I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I'm spinning
Oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All that I'll be, yeah
Uh huh, uh huh, oh
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
It’s not shortened at all
It's wonderful to see younger people listen, and appreciate the music we had in the 80's/90's, and it says so much about that music, that it's still powerful enough to evoke such emotion. Great reaction vid. Subbing.
Release me is another emotional vocal performance by Eddie, talking about releasing his emotions he felt about his father. He never knew his dad and found out later after he had already passed that his dad was someone else. I don’t know which live performance is best for that one, I will have to search and post link here. Glad you chose another of my list of vocal performances I recommend back in one of my comments, glad you enjoyed it as much as I thought you would. Great reaction as always, love it
This is also the basis for "Alive".
Holland 1992 version on youtube it is amazing....by the way my favourite song if all the time...is wonderful...
I'm so glad you reacted to this masterpiece of a song. I love how deep she engages herself within the music and this song just takes you to a place you didn't know you were gonna go. This song has incredible meaning to me personally because it describes my relationship with my high school sweetheart and the incredible heartbreak of a journey we went through with each other and something I would never forget and although I want her to be happy I always wondered why we went through what we went through. But regardless this song is simply one of the most beautiful songs of all time and hits every emotion very deeply especially with the way he sings with so much pain and passion. Awesome reaction and an appropriate one too.
Everyone falls in love with Eddy's voice and his passion . I can see it in your eyes. I'm 65 and still listening to rock, grunge and all the music I grew up with, it's the best...
I remember watching the initial broadcast of Pearl Jam's performance on MTV Unplugged on May 13, 1992. I remember it was a Wednesday night because Thursday morning was trash pick-up day in my neighborhood, and I had just put the trash out before Unplugged came on. It's hard to believe 30 years have gone by....
Very, *very* few have managed to watch that performance and not be moved deeply. It's truly amazing how Eddie can practically wail out his pain and heartbreak and at the same time sing so damn *well*.
Top 5 Unplugged performances ever. Imagine being so talented you can take a deep pain you experienced and turn it into a beautiful gift for the world.
This song still hits me like a truck. I’m so glad you experienced this song, music is most profound when the artist brings you into their world may that be joy, anger, sadness, heartbreak. Beauty in a time piece.
He was surely somewhere else when he performed this song. One of my favorite live performance that I have ever seen. Simply beautiful
My favorite song by Pearl Jam. Goosebumps every time.
"Black" is simply a stunning heartbreak of a song, beautiful no matter what version of it you watch (personal favourite is the live version from Pink Pop in '92). Not a bad song on the 1st album "Ten", from "Jeremy" (the official full video) and "Porch" (Again, the live at Pink Pop '92 version is fun) to "Garden", "Even Flow" and "Release" - i'd also recommend checking out stuff like "Wash", "State of Love and Trust", "Breath", "Indifference", "Rearviewmirror" from around the period of the 1st and 2nd albums (and from the 2nd) - there's a lot of later stuff that's awesome as well, and a great band to see live :)
You've opened a massive rabbithole into several bands, not just Pearl Jam...
I will forever envy the crowd that got to watch this live. The power and emotion of the performance. I felt goosebumps here. I'd probably be hit with the holy spirit or some shit there.
still one of my favorite songs of all time, and one of the best performances ever! Honesty!
One of, if not the best, songs about a love lost and his performance here is perfection.
I’ve heard this song 100 times. Watched the video 100 times.. Seen loads of reactions…. And I cry every time. Every time.
Same
i think nirvana’s unplugged performance was great as well, “the man who sold the world” and “where did you sleep last night” are some gems, you should check them out
His voice grabs u an won't let u go everyone in that band are extremely talented
This is hands down the best unplugged performance I have ever heard.
I'm not even much of a Pearl Jam fan, but I have to agree.
That whole Unplugged concert is fucking amazing from start to finish. That one and Nirvana's Unplugged set will go down in history. Stripped down to a softer sound, it really amplified the emotion of the lyrics.
@@kylieungewitter4850 dont forget my boys AIC
@@buschmann6154 Oh yes. RIP Layne. The 90s were such an amazing time for music.
Have you listened to Nirvanas unplugged? It rivals this one
This is about someone he was in love with that broke his heart for someone else. He’s talked about it. First album I ever bought. One of the best performances and voices ever still. Watch the entire 45 min of MTV Unplugged it’s unreal.
This song was for Beth!
Me and my best friend from school alway say how much we love this tune and how emotional it is and Eddie absolutely kills it in this! Tears in my eyes every time!! Everyone enjoys this amazing tune ❤
A masterpiece froze in time on video. This performance tears me up. Eddie a soul brother surfer from San Diego county.
This is the 'Someone Like You' for the grunge era. It encapsulates that world-changing heartbreak of losing someone you love and torturing yourself imagining how happy they'll be with others.
I think most people have been in that position - if you haven't, you're very lucky and I hope it remains that way
I recommend pretty much everything on their first 3 albums and a whole lot more after that. I mean they're my favorite band so I like almost all their stuff. But to name a few. From their first album, Ten: Deep, Porch, Release, and Garden, plus all the stuff that was on the radio like Even Flow, Alive, Jeremy, Once. Also from around this time but not on the album is a really great song called Yellow Ledbetter. From their second album, Vs: Dissident, Indifference, W.M.A. and all their singles, Go, Animal, Daughter, Rearview Mirror, and Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town. On their 3rd album, Vitalogy: Tremor Christ, Last Exit, Spin the Black circle and their singles Corduroy, Immortality, Not For you, and Better Man. Well that should keep you busy for a minute. Anyway that's their first 3 albums. After that they had less hits but there are still plenty more great songs to come. They have like 8 more studio albums after these.
It’s so wonderful to see new people discovering the great music of the 90’s. Pearl Jam live are such a treat. There are hundreds of bootlegs of their live shows (and other 90’s bands) here on CZcams from their very first performance in Oct. 1990, up to the concert tour they are doing right now. It’s one of my favorite rabbit holes to fall into for sure.
Iconic band, song and performance. Some were in camp Nirvana-claiming Kurt was the "voice of our generation". Eddie was my voice; one of the most iconic voices in music.
So happy you reacted to this one. The studio recording sounds almost similar to this. 90s bands almost sounded similar to the actual studio recording. It's rare nowadays. Eddie Vedder will always be one of the kings of grunge. His voice is soulfully amazing. So much emotion and grit!!
Please watch the whole set. It is one of the best live performances.
“Silent Lucidity” is a song that will make you feel amazing like your dreaming.
I am usually a fan of studio versions/albums. But this version blew me away. It is so heartbreaking in the most beautiful way and you feel the pain of losing someone that you believe is your one true love. Eddie is absolutely amazing and I was so impressed by the feelings he conveyed in this live version. I actually have a hard time going back and listening to the album version now. Don't worry about crying...I was right there with you, tearing up! Great reaction. Thank you for your time!
Been waiting for you to discover this performance! Love your channel and reactions. Keep it up queen!
Thank you so much!!
It’s hard to believe he was actually sick when he did this it’s up there with the Alice In Chains unplugged absolutely raw and beautiful
Oh girl, you're gonna love your Pearl Jam journey. 'Release', 'Indifference', 'Just Breathe', 'Elderly woman behind the counter' will all melt your soul. So much great music in their catalog.
Literally lived this song. Loved your pure reaction. Thank you.
💔 Such a powerful song. Love this performance. MTV 7nplugged was so good.
I feel old thinking about how old this is but, to this day few songs still manage to stir some within me like this one.
Most beautiful song ever written.. hearing it live is one of the greatest joys of life
"I know one day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun...in somebody else's sky, but why oh why can't it be mine?"
Hits with the same kind of genuine heartbreak you hear in "The Love You Want," "Atlantic," and "Fall For Me" by Sleep Token.
MTV unplugged was perfect for grunge music. You can really hear the emotion that grunge music was based on. Any Pearl Jam song from their unplugged is a good listen. Also Alice n Chains, and Nirvana.
Down in a Hole just hits differently unplugged…. It’s incredible.
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun, in somebody else's skies, why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine."
That part at the end of the song is one of my top 5 of written lyrics in any song I've heard, ever. So beautiful and poetic. Full of pain, heartache and love at the same time. Love this song.
I thought it was "I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky".
@@johnnydopeflow9965 you're right
I am watching your reaction to black for 100th time. And l am just noticing your eyes sing...very beautiful. I really enjoy your reactions!
70's, 80's, 90's is where the greatest songs created...This song is also still on my playlist till now. 👍👍
IIRC Eddie Vedder was sick with a chest cold during this concert and still managed to knock it out of the park. You can tell in a few spots he's struggling, but manages to pull through.
That extra bit of raspiness in his voice because of being sick is so golden.
Eddie is my favorite vocalist, hes not insane with his range or anything but its the little details, the fast vinrato, the voice breaks, the sheer grit, he conveys emotion so well. Ive seen this performance like 50 times and I still teared up at all the parts you did. Easily my favorite live performance, along with Linkin Park and Jay Z doing 99 problems/One Step Closer live, but thats for a whole different reason
The screams saying "We belong together" in the end is so heart wrenching. I've heard this song for the better part of 20 years and it still gets me.
That one lyric has resonated with me since I was a child...20 years later it still makes me tear up. 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 me? Eddie was under appreciated as a poet.
This is a stunning all-time great performance.
Some of the vamping at the end is not on the album version (the screams of yeah no, we belong together) and served a further highlight the power and raw emotion of this particular performance
Great reaction Aileen! It's impossible not to feel and relate to Eddie's pain of love lost and loving with letting go. Welcome to the PJ rabbit hole. If you get a minute, explore the Matt Corby rabbit hole, starting with, Brother, live on JJJ. It will blow your mind!
I agree with you. That was not a song. That was something from another world. Tears in my eyes as well.
I've seen a lot of reactions to this song. Yours stands out for sure. You get it. I love your reaction. This song is very personal to Eddie and his performance here Is so heartfelt that it actually hurts to watch. What a beautiful performance.
Eddie Veddie, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell were the voices of the grunge 90's. Kurt too (had his style). I was so grateful to grow up in such an AWESOME ERA of music!!
Gavin Rosssale, Scott Weiland, Scott Stapp, Chad Kroeger. It got diluted pretty quick.
I got to throw Billy Corgan in there.
Definitely try their song Porch (live at Pinkpop). It's insane!
This was more like a slam poem in a majestic mastering of musical perfection. Eddie is a absolute legend!!
I don't really sing but since I love this song so much, me, as a shy guy, usually when pressed against the wall is my go to song, and I'm happy that most people don't comment about vocals or rythim, they comment about the emotion, and that keeps me going as a guitarrist... This song really is meant to be played with emotion (no fear tho) and just pure dedication and fuch everyone that is around. Just live that moment. And it amazes me how Eddie has done that so many times just perfectly. You gotta watch his tribute to his friend Chris Cornell at Firenze Rocks 2017.. It'll be the most emotional version you'll ever hear
