When MTV actually showed music for the rest of us
Ah yes when MTV didn’t suck
It still sucked but only a little bit. I remember calling it EMPTY-V in high school back then.
This comment is so accurate. They should change the name of the channel. It hasn't been Music Television for YEARS.
Yes, when MTV actually had music. It was called MTV for an accurate reason--it was the acronym for Music Television. I don't think they even play music on this channel.
@@Real_masontroyadams I infinitely agree with you because they don't even PLAY MUSIC on this channel; therefore calling it Music Television is both inaccurate and pointless. The last time I watched, the channel aired nothing but reality shows.
@@glamgal7106 I agree, what more sad is that instead of changing the channel name they half ass it by dropping music television from the logo. they should have change the name to RTV Reality Television or BSTV Bulls__t Television.
Not sure how old you are, Fil, but I gotta tell you that Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots breaking out then was a dream come true.
Abbruzzese is such an overlooked drummer. Such a solid technician.
He is the perfect drummer for Pearl Jam, and Matt was perfect for Soundgarden
Jeff Ament needs a little love too.
I'm glad it's not just me that thinks this 👍
This was my Pearl Jam! I was 30 minutes outside Seattle from 1989 to 1993 and enjoyed the local music scene as it exploded to the national stage. Pearl Jam was so on point at this performance.
You are so lucky!!! Wish I was there!
Yes, grunge started out of the pacific NW
So lucky, did you ever see Mother love bone?
Pearl Jam, a grunge band with a blues playing lead guitarist.
When Eddy started to sing ..the first time i heard him and the band... I knew he / they were a great talent.. Drummer and bassist are tight as a stuck jar.lid.
Great show .. Thanks professor...
When you analyze a special band..
I go over the song... Than i you tube. Album and i do the album/ greatest hits and i free style the band of the day.. As one of the 3 plus hour's of practice a day.. Its not 8 to 10 hours a day like Jimi. But I've progressed so much with your help.... 😆
Reading the comments, I'm used to the community being a bit less critical but forget how polarizing Pearl Jam can be. I love them. From that era where all songs seemed to have a pseudo rap leading into the chorus leading back to the pseudo rap style (looking at you korn and Faith No More), Pearl Jam was a band that rocked and could get you crowd surfing with one song then get quiet and introspective with the next. I also admire Eddie's collaborations with other artists like Crowded House and Temple of the Dog along with his solo work such as his beautiful soundtrack for Into the Wild. Haters are going to hate, I guess. I can only say that I've loved Eddie ever since he was being interviewed by an MTV VJ who laughed when Eddie said that music literally saved his life. Eddie looked at the idiot in dismay and replied, "No man, I mean it." I understood what he meant and I've been a fan ever since.
@@christopherjohnson3520 Love Carlin. His view is truly missed. Bono's heart is in the right place. Some people see him as pretentious but, to paraphrase Bowie, rock IS pretentious. If good is being done then that's all that's needed. And there are some similarities between Bono and Eddie. Both worried their band mates by climbing staging during performances, both have long marriages despite the "glamour" of rock 'n' roll, and both work hard for those less fortunate. Both are good men.
Mike McCready is unbelievable on guitar. He was born with a guitar in his hands!
Thanks, again, for your positive and non-snarky approach and appreciation of so many different styles! Such a good relief. Thank you!
Eddie Veddar, my favorite male vocalist right behind Robert Plant! ❤️❤️
Plant hasn’t been able to hit high notes since the 70s....biggest thief in music
I love Robert too.
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 music isn't all about who can hit the highest notes man lol.
MrSmithGNR Smith, ironic that you make that comment on a video featuring a singer with a golden baritone.
Also- “Plant hasn’t been able to hit high notes since the 70s”- I would suggest then you listen to Plant and Page at Glastonbury 1995 “Kashmir” czcams.com/video/Fgrseyi_Bxk/video.html
Eddie is so awesome that he tends to get all the attention, but everyone in the band just blows me away. Every time you listen to them you find something new and interesting in there, the music is so dense. I'll never forget the first time I heard that voice, though. These guys are firmly on my GOAT list. I'm also a fan of their politics which is always an added bonus.
Thank you, Fil.
They are as a band, in my opinion, the greatest we have to witness today. There is none like them live.
Thanks. Vedder also sang at the 30th anniversary party for Bob Dylan. Masters of War.
Love Pearl Jam, be safe and stay healthy Fil, We need you to rock on for many more videos and years 🤘🖖😊🇨🇦
THIS ROCKED! An early birthday gift for me!
Great job Fil! Thank you again for my request! You made my night, but I think I already expressed that in Patreon! Haha✌️❤️
I've been a Pearl Jam fan since the very beginning. Thanks for all the great info and breaking it down so people can appreciate how great they really are. Cheers!👍🌈
Makes me want to jump off a balcony and crowd surf. This was on of my favorite albums in high school. Eddie was god-like for teenage boys of my generation.
You just reminded me: I was at a concert and I wanted to get on the stage to jump into the audience to crowd surf. A couple of guys were willing to help me because they noticed that I was nervous about it. I chickened out of it. This former worker of mine who weighs 350 lbs told me about his attempt to stage dive and crowd surf-he’d said that, “it was like the Red Sea parted.” Oh well.
@@glamgal7106 Hahaha. Yeah, in reality I probably wouldn't ever do it.
Love this! A big fan of Grunge. Awesome analysis. Eddie has such a great unique voice. A few other great unplugged of that era Nirvana, STP & AIC maybe for future analysis. Thanks Fil. 🤘🎼✌
Great analysis. I love this acoustic sound for them. It's still so full!
I saw Pearl Jam only once. Oakland Colliseum, 1997, opening for the Rolling Stones.
The thing about this show was it was PISSING RAIN for their entire 90+ minute set. No shelter for them whatsoever. And they just stayed out there, got soaking wet, and played with passion and purpose. They were in it with the crowd.
I'll never forget it. It was fantastic.
Eddie Vedder's breath control, as you described it, reminded me of how hard it was to try to learn to play the digeridoos we had around here for a while, trying to keep an even flow with 'circular breathing' . Wonderful performance, wonderful analysis!
Can we do a Bill Withers rest in peace
I think that's a good idea Catherine.
Love!!
I heard about it pretty late, so it will probably be tomorrow. Fil is really good at doing tribute videos. Bill Withers had such a great voice.
Love this video. When these boys were young they showed a lot of emotional freedom. And boy was it contagious. What’s beautiful they are excellent musicians. Each of them bringing the audience with them. Enjoyable, isn’t that what a band is suppose to be doing? They sure did 👍😃
Rock and roll fans were really happy to have Pearl Jam. Raw and discrete at the same time. Because they rocked. And they rocked hard. Not like some half-hearted pussy effort at rock and roll. Pearl Jam rocked and they had a strong male vocal.
A vocal that stood up to the music. Powerfully poetic.
Yeah, what he said!!
They just dropped another new album and it is amazing. This is one band that has never lost it. They still make great music. Listen to the new album mate.
Absolutely the best episode of Unplugged. This and the R.E.M. one.
I can think of a few other ones that were great, Neil Young, Nirvana & Springsteen come to mind
@@HamiltonRb A lot of them were great. I seem to recall The Cure and maybe Chris Isaak as well. I wore out my recording of the one and R.E.M. though.
SRV
Alice in chains is my #1 unplugged!
Alice In Chains my #1 Unplugged.
Wasn't ever much into grunge, but thanks to you Fil, I appreciate the whole band entity a lot more than I ever did. Another good one tonight Fil!!! Thanks.
Fantastic reaction, this is my absolute favorite band. I love how you gave appreciation to everyone, Eddie is fantastic but few people give the rest of the band props and they’re all amazing.
Pearl Jam always reminded me of the same top emotion felt by Spaniards, or Portuguese singers, they do the exact same thing using all their soul. Love ❤️ em
My favorite example of a rock-solid band. Really a pleasure to watch and listen to.
When grunge hit I remember thinking, all I want is a great song ,bring it ,sound garden, pearle jam, Alice, nirvana..they all had a few great ones
The highlight of that show for me was Porch, they were really on it for that one.
I like your early point about how they played the acoustic guitars very much the same way they played these songs originally... No rearranging to make the songs easier to play for this Unplugged.
RIP Bill Withers. Great analysis as usual.
April S Oh man Bill Withers. He was amazing. Some of his music is my forever favorites.
Absolutely fantastic review! Thank you.
Hi Fil. !!!!
Yes! I do love me some Pearl Jam. Even today Even Flow still evokes emotions from me. But it has to be the recorded version.
Dude, on point! Someone in power should get MTV Unplugged back on the air. and Headbangers Ball...
Great video! I never saw this performance so it was fun watching your review!
I really didn't think I would like this - but dopey me, I did! I totally agree with Eddie about not wanting to do music videos. To me, any song is much better without one. But that's just me! Thanks Fil, for a great analysis. You certainly changed this girl's opinion of this group!
Linda Z of course you liked it, it’s my request! 😛 I was one happy girl to finally see my request. Just thrilled! 😉
@@carlamurray2370 Well, you have great taste, my friend. ❤️ I actually listened to another song of theirs last night - and I liked that one, too!
Linda Z I’ll send you a link from when they were really young, undiscovered and playing on one of the beach/boardwalk. ❤️✌️
@Yoda Cane Oh my, just listened to it 3 times & compared it to their recorded version. I like them both, but this unplugged version is more raw and just, well, better! Thanks for the suggestion!👍
@@carlamurray2370 yes, please!
Pearl Jam, Yes
Yes!!! Thank you for doing this one!!
First Pearl Jam I ever heard.........I was hooked.
I climbed up a mountain in Austria to listen to them, totally amazing
Thanks for sharing! Great performance! I remember when Ten came out and I bought it. Call me a little crazy, but the music reminded me a little of Led Zeppelin. Non necessarily the song lyrics (although Pearl Jam had some very heavy lyrics), but the pure rock-n-roll sound and production of the album was amazing. Very refreshing at the time. ✌🏻🎼🎸
1992 MTV unplugged I miss those days
I was massively into Pearl Jam in high school, I graduated in 1992. So fun to watch them again, and fun to watch you watching them! Love this bluesy acoustic version, they’re so talented.
No telling how many times I watched this (which I had taped to a vhs 😂) in junior high. 😁
Ha! Same lol
VHS..👍😁
Agree...when mtv was music. I did not listen to this live and acoustic until today Fil. Very good. They did well
This is the first time I have seen this Pearl Jam performance since I watched it in 1992.
Pearl Jam is such a great live concert experience.
So great. Just the kind of the music where you want to just kick back, relax and listen to, but it still has grit. I loved Grunge, so fun; especially Nirvana. Have taken many a afternoon drive to Nirvana. Yes I know we are talking about Pearl Jam, kinda great too.
Yes, Fil. Freedom to write, knowing your bandmates will be able to follow and even contribute
First time seeing Pearl Jam and crowd surfing was an adventure😎
Yes!!!!!!!! Perfect
Awesome band, loved the analysis...
Such an amazing band ugh
Another good breakdown!!!! Takes me down memory lane. Love this band. Eddie Vetter sings with so much emotion.
The Coors really deliver studio grade vocals unplugged.
Thank you, well done. One of my absolute favorite groups and I love EV's solo work.
Damn, what an amazing thorough coverage of one of my favorite bands.
Love Pearl Jam, and really miss when MTV was mostly all music videos thanks for the video Fil
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of arrangements and technical side of being in band. Loved it. TY 💞✌
Great breakdown of the performance - love that you include some music history tidbits. Eddie Vedder's voice has so much emotion in it, particularly in his live performances. Love it!
Always loved this version of Even Flow! Mighty acoustic guitars jamming out on stage with Eddy’s unique and amazing voice bringing it all together! Brilliant Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘👌
I have been watching this unplugged consistently since it came out, kept a VHS tapes for many years.
90's ..Best decade for music..loved the alternative music scene back then..but..I was not a fan of the Grunge sound deriving from Seattle..Portland..thanks Fil
It was 1992. I was 12. Pearl jam quickly became my favorite band with songs like Porch, Ocean and Garden. Wow. Hated hearing Jeremy and even flow get all the radio love. The thing about Pearl Jam is for the most part the radio songs don't hold a flame to the rest of the tracks.
Great job Fil!
Pearl Jam, an example of not needing autotune, to be raw and real. Spot on analysis Fil.
I'm a big Pearl Jam fan; excellent analysis, Fil-- yes, Eddie Vedder's vocals are extraordinary!! The band was so tight and excellent back in '92.
Thanks, Fil. Rock!
Eddie Vedder ,all i can say is how passionate can a artist be ,my very fav artist ,he stirs my very core!!!!!!!!!!!
Seen Pearl Jam twice and had tickets to the March show that was recently cancelled, so thanks for the reminder of what I am missing..lol You really know how to hurt a guy. Hopefully this virus gets under control before my Foo Fighters show in Oct.
I heard of them but never really listened to them. After listening to you on so many videos you have opened my mind on music. Not something I would look for on music but if your impressed I am. Hope you are staying healthy & safe. Have a goog day Fil! 😍😚💕
No autotune here.
And I am first!

Only because I was cooking dinner and listening to Dead Pirates IGO ....... =^>
Hi Fil! I remember driving my Jr High son, and his friends to a huge concert with Pearl Jam! It wasn’t exactly my music, but I got use to hearing this music around the house! My son would put his music on around the house, and then in his car...I sure remember this song! Must have been one of my son’s favorites! My son also played a lot of Metallica too....I learned to appreciate my kid’s music too! I was the mom who made sure the guys got to their music concerts! Rush...Insane Clown Posse too....I even went to see ICP with the college age friends of his...cool kids..they welcomed me sitting with them..lol. Have a good weekend!✌️
Loved the MTV unplugged series. Eddie Veder, Kurt Cobain, Mike Patton, those voices used to ring around my home with my children enjoying this music. My son was in a band playing grunge and we used to pile as many youngsters in the car to go to their gigs. Those were the most amazing days as a parent. Loved it !!
I wish MTV still had the Unplugged series.
This performace wouldn't be as awesome as it is, if Abruzzese hadn't totally nailed it. That flow and chops!
Great analysis and insight for a great band, Fil. Pearl Jam is in my karaoke repertoire and I can attest, Vedder is NOT easy to copy. No matter how effortless he makes it seem. As far as people not having an appreciation for the musicianship of grunge bands, my metal head buddies and I (pretty much all very good musicians), love PJ, AIC, MLB, Soundgarden. Maybe 'cause we're all musicians? Seeing Pearl Jam live, at Soldier's Field in Chicago the day after the last Grateful Dead concert, was an awesome experience. Eddie actually went off on the spoiled rich kids who complained about not having good sound in their private rooms. The band then launched into "This Is Not For You"! Epic! Thanks for this, Fil.
Another Fil's signature analysis! great footage from MTV. stay safe out there.
Sounds fabulous any which way. What a singer.
Saw the 10 tour at Reunion Arena. Eddie pretty much rode around on Dennis Rodman's shoulders the whole concert. Took my sister because I wanted her to enjoy what I was into.
After all that, still one the best concerts I ever went to. Pearl Jam is special.
That was Yield tour. :)
@@FeelItRising yeah I realized that after I posted. Been a few years. Leaving my mistake posted.
@@RadNitro Doesn't matter. I wasn't there, it's just a memorable one. You're lucky you were there.
You're so right about how technically advanced they are. That's why they are my favorite "grunge" band. And Eddie Vedder's voice is so unique; sounding angry and vulnerable at the same time.
Fill, can you cover the band, Renaissance? They were so incredible and it would be a great way to expose that band to more people.
An intense performance. I liked Jack Irons' musicality in PJ but Dave Abbruzzese was, in my opinion, the best of all their drummers (five, in total). He got sacked because he was into fame and that riled Eddie. Mike McCready is the lead guitarist, Stone is the rhythm guitarist wearing the Ramones t-shirt. Both awesome but maybe do a Mike McCready analysis some time because his solos are phenomenal? Apparently, if a guitar is worth owning, he has it! Stone and Jeff preceded Mother Love Bone with Green River. Green River featured Mark Arm and Steve Turner who went on to form Mudhoney. Great analysis 👌🏻👏🏻
Notice the James Brown funk rhythm the song takes on when it is stripped down. Genius🎼🎶🎵
Great melody in that song... great job Fil
Cheers
Let's face it guys we really knew they would "get on" just fine 😆. Thanks Fill💖
Chris Cornell... nothing compares to you.. good song !!
Fil, this was a great and informative analysis on this live performance by Pearl Jam--I remember watching it. Additionally, I enjoyed listening to your viewpoint--particularly from a musician--regarding the importance of band members' top level instrumental, vocal and lyrical abilites. You'd pointed out Eddie Vedder's use of breath control where he took a breath before "Life again." It was difficult for me to tell, but I wondered if he took a "catch breath." From your analysis videos, I'm both reminded of what I learned and learn more. Thanks, Fil!
Yes it is difficult to tell but it sounds like one continuous vocal phrase to me ☺
Thanks Fil, now my comment. That sentiment, that videos are detrimental to music is absolutely correct. Music is not a video, it is auditory, it engages a different place in the mind, a more open and wonderful space, not confined by a construct artificially imposed on an art form in order to make profit. Once it was recognized by profit seekers who have no care for the degradation of music, this system was placed in stone. Now days we find that this has resulted in packaged shite that is not really important, not really inspiring, not challenging the musical mind, it's all about image. This is a great presentation Fil, thank you for the great review and history!
Very good analysis! I always thought their music sounded more complex than that of some of their peers.
Unplugged was such a great show! As entertaining,to me,as American Bandstand and Soul Train! I would gladly watch again if it brought back on TV!
Dave A. was easily their best drummer
Great job again Fil. God I love Pearl Jam. That vocal and the drum beat, too cool.
and not to forget that Dave abbruzzese did have a bad cold with high fever on this evening....... I guess I couldn't play thaaat passionate with Fever
Must of been something in the water. Quite incredible that all this wonderful music was coming out of the Seattle area around the same time, Grunge as people may call it was a breath of fantastic talented fresh air.
PJ and Foo Fighters were grunge that survived. Musicians come from all over the world. I never bought into the whole Seattle Grunge thing. I mean Eddie was not from Seattle at all. I know people will say Nirvana but honestly I know every song they made and I don't think they would have stood the test of time. IMO the first two CDs of a band are usually the best bc they contain the artists entire life of emotions and passion. After that its year to year and how much does a band really grow year over year compared to the first 18 years of their lives contained in those first two CDs
~around 1:48 &1:49 and in between did the same and, then after you spoke brief analysis Fil, Mr. Eddie did it again 13:08 & 13:09~ wow, incredible how he flips without conscious effort to higher tune, head voice you called it brilliant and gifted. The whole rhythm vibe just fantastic and compelling, rasp is very deep expression, its ..., good!
Good evening Fil , I am doing alright especially with one of many grunge bands this one , top of the league, major. ....Pearl Jam; Awesome, cheers, Fil.
Flashback when the young upcoming Creed, in fact Scott Stapp looks and reminds me of Mr. Eddie V in the early to mid- 1990s.The persona the memorizing quality the attitude on stage the confidence which draws and sustains. I think in some ways Eddie influence the young eager musical thespian of song: Mr. Scott Stapp of Creed. Weird, but I get that feeling of Scott Creed moment bu,t its all dominance, Mr. Eddie and I enjoy this, the song the drama of it, the melody, the words, the guitars accented all and especially the audacious drum piercing thru.
Great video and great analysis tonight Fil. Thanks ,massive appreciations, and I did put in my 2 cents and all uplifted and energized me.👍 Its 10:02pm NY Time, good night and stay safe.
Linda Z, I’m like you as I didn’t know I’d enjoy it.. funny how that works.. Fil’s analyses always helps to enjoy the music..or at least appreciate it..
Thanks!
We ❤fil and his videos
Thanks!
That is why I've always liked Eddie the Pearl and the Jammers. They didn't sell their souls to mtv for the very reason I used to tell people why I never watched it. Music is the soundtrack to MY life, not theirs.
Always one of my favorite albums. The last great Rock album made
imo, ty fil
