I'll admit, the first time I heard grunge I just didn't get it. I hadn't connected the tortured emotional drive throughout the vocals until my second or third attempt. However, upon hearing Eddie Vedder's vocals for the first time in Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike" then again in Pearl Jam, I knew my mind was starting to change!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Pearl Jam performing "Even Flow" for the first time.

It's funny that you mention the safety of the audience; Eddie Vedder is one of the nicest guys in rock. He will stop concerts to make sure people in the audience are okay. One concert that I was at, he stopped to have security come and take out a guy that was groping a young girl, and then he lectured us that we need to be better in looking out for others. Love this guy so much!

I think bands did a good job of attracting the right kind of people to their shows as well. When people fell down, the five closest people to them would pick them up. People didn't throw punches and elbows like you'd see at right wing metal shows and the skin head punk shows. It's not that some bad people didn't show up, but they were ejected.

@andrewichigo Ай бұрын

I think a lot of that is trauma from the time 9 people died when PJ played a festival in 2000. The audience crushed them against the front row guardrail till they couldn't breath and some were trampled. Now Eddie will always ask people to not push forward too much and will pause songs to ask people to take 3 steps back to avoid that tragedy happening again

On the lighting, Josh was the video director, and Eddie Vedder is telling him to turn off all the lights that were added to film the video. He wanted it dark, like a "f*cking rock concert!". This song is about a homeless man that Ed befriended in downtown Seattle near where Pearl Jam used to rehearse. Not many bands would have highlighted the challenges of the homeless like this.

My son met him at the Teenage Cancer Trust concert at the Royal Albert Hall last weekend. He gave Eddie Vedder an award for all he's done for the charity over the years and shook his hand. Alongside the rest of his group they were onstage at the finale with Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant and Kelly Jones. All the artists thanked the teenagers for coming and being part of the concert. As a teenager headbanging to these at various rock nights I never expected my future son would meet them.

Eddie is the undisputed champion of stage dives. It's well documented. Porch Live from Pinkpop is probably the most epic. I've been to many concerts where he will stop the show to help people who went down in the pit or were having medical problems. They'll pick up the song exactly where they stopped. I've seen them 27 times. It's always a fantastic show with a different setlist from the night before. Amazing band with a DEEP catalog.

@njoymn4330 Ай бұрын

Ed was the singer that an older generations of musicians appreciated. He was invited to sing at Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary in 92. He was asked by the Doors to sing Jim Morrison's parts when they were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 93. Pete Townshend (The Who) called him in 93 and wanted to meet him. He inducted Neil Young into Hall of Fame in 95 and performed "F***in' Up" with him (along with all of Pearl Jam). He was on hand for The Ramones last concert to sing the last song in 96. The list goes on... IMHO he seems to enjoy finding new ways to use his voice to make music (physically and metaphorically)

That jump/fall Eddie Vedder did, into the crowd, was TAME compared to what he had done at many other concerts! You should watch "Porch" live at Pinkpop, 1992! There's also a compilation video of a lot of the crazy, death-defying things Eddie Vedder did on their first couple tours. At some point, the band asked him to chill the acrobatics out because they didn't want him to get hurt! Also, Eddie Vedder showing some amazing breath control here… flailing around like a man on fire, but then sounding almost exactly like the album vocals. Pretty impressive.

What gets me with Pearl Jam is the depth of their catalog. It's not just these big hits... it's that you go deeper and deeper in their catalog, and it's still so good. Things don't drop off. The lack of enunciation is on Yellow Ledbetter, but it is intentional. That song is meant to be meditative, and it can mean different things to different people. It's about the feel, not the words. I tend to focus a lot on content in lyrics, but that song is an exception.

It's funny watching this. Elizabeth, I wish you could've been around Olympia during the late 80's - 90's, you would've been seeing it from such a different perspective than the rest of us. We were just trying to scrabble along making a living downtown & seeing these bands on the weekends. It was hard to analyze it while in the middle of it, and not many of us in the audience had enough musical training to catch the nuances. We were all kind of skeptical about Eddie V because he was imported from California. He turned out to be a sweetheart. Nowhere near as much of a handful as the other guy singers. The performance would be physical, but you didn't have to worry about him getting in a fight with you backstage or OD'ing in the damned bathroom. And god, he could sing. I remember a very specific Pearl Jam set in a multi-band show where I realized that energy + competence was so much more fun than energy + chaos.

Grunge was the vibe of a generation. I was 20 years old when this came out. And after the hyper produced pop/dance music of the late 80s, and the superficial/materialistic lyrics of the hair bands before that, Eddie’s lyrics and emotion, along with the singable nature of the melodies, mixed with a teenage garage band angst hit us straight to our chests like a bolt of lightning. Poetry, storytelling of real issues, made us realize our problems could not be ignored or glossed over anymore. My generation (gen x) finally found meaning with a way to express what we were feeling inside. Like a new brand of folk music we hadn’t heard since the 60s. I love all of the 90s grunge for different reasons. But Pearl Jam was my favorite because they were everything I loved about rock music. 😎 Also, if you’d like to hear Eddie 30 years later, this is from August 2023, they were in my hometown. I missed the show, but found this video of Black. There is a lot of crowd singing with him, but the guitar solo was sooo good I got tears in my eyes.

Seen PJ live many times over the years. First in '92, most recently in 2022. They were the band I needed at 16, and are the band I still need at 48. Those early years performances were so full of youthful emotion and power to match the lyrics. First band I saw that the live performances blew away every recording. The more recent performances are still the same quality, but the energy has matured a bit. Still powerful, but in a deeper, more profound way. Of course that could simply be the change in my personal interpretation as I've grown and matured. Thank you for taking the team to break this down.

Ten was middle school emotions of a single parent childhood lived free range, Vs was to start high school smart and strong, Vitalogy the year I lost a loved one, moved states mid high school and almost died of a brain aneurysm, No Code as off he goes to college, Yield as I do the evolution and am given to fly - high, Binaural as things get a litter sadder and stranger, Riot Act as I am a full time antiwar activist, Avocado as I go through 12 steps face a life wasted, Backspacer I see the debut show in Seattle with my future wife just breathing in unthought knowns, Lightning Bolt strikes and I'm engaged and married and harried becoming my father's son not infallible, now a proud father life weighs like a Gigaton and I find a spiritual and mystical side and do the dance of the clarevoyants wandering the beach nightly staring at superblood wolf moons alright. Turns out though it's all the invisible and shadow-side and dark matter that connects us to family and love and struggle and work over time, though, doesn't it, and you don't want to give in to angst anymore as the only thing to be scared of is fear after you've faced the wreckage and felt the upper hand come and go and come again it's something special.

This was the first song I heard of Pearl Jam. Ran to buy the cd and being poor, I rarely bought music. Then I saw the video. Just, wow. Eddie Vedder has been consistently great over the decades. I love his solo work, and his covers. His cover of Dylan’s Masters of War at the 30th anniversary concert celebration (1992 at MSG) was one of the best of the night, and he was there among rock superstars. Many are no longer with us. Everyone should watch/listen to this. I do at least once a year. Eddie has always been my favorite, along with Chris Cornell.

If you like Eddie Vedder as a singer this much, you'll fall in love with his Into The Wild album. It's a matured and more reserved Eddie Vedder, still a strong voice that can have that bite, but wisened and typically warmer. Instrumentally, it's largely pensive, acoustic stuff. It's like having Eddie Vedder play his acoustic and serenade you personally, and honestly who would say no to that.

Mike Morris of Faith No More is my all time favorite grunge/rock singer...though Pearl Jam was a huge part of my personal soundtrack back in the 90's...and Vedder's vocals make me think southern accent on the "again" part...the chorus always gets the hairs going on the back of my neck...might be nostalgia

I am a total Vedder nerd and if you want to hear him in a more intimate way you shpuld check out some of the songs from Riot Act or No Code. Especially In My Tree and You Are (that song is actually written by the Soundgarden and Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron). Really cool songs that shows how mature his voice became after the first three records.

My favourite grunge singer is Mark Lanegan and he's always overlooked. His bluesy, dark, gritty voice was such a unique sound to the grunge scene and music in general. Very similar to Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen if you like those dark low tones of a voice...it's heaven in my ears. Try either...

God I love when you react to Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder Elizabeth! I must have watched your "Black" Unplugged reaction a dozen times now(its my fav video of yours) and this is like the 4th time already I've watched this video...your analysis of Eddie's voice and vocal techniques always thrill me, because I've been singing along to those what I call "Eddieisms" for over 30 years now.

It's amazing how everything that Elizabeth says about Eddie, his tone, how he sings, how he creates the tones and sounds, and how it makes her feel...pretty much nails everything I've always thought and felt about the first few PJ albums and Eddie live in particular, and why they became my favorite "grunge/rock" band in the 90s. Chris started very high and his voice got lower as he aged, but he always had amazing range. Layne had this haunting tone to his voice, and 30 years on AiC's catalog has surpassed PJ's in my rankings. But 90s Eddie...the emotion, the control, the manipulation, the heart and soul, the blues...all of that I could hear and feel and I still do. I've seen them live recently and while his voice isn't what it was, he still is an amazing live singer, but back then it seemed like he was on a different level than most singers especially in terms of live performance. Maybe Maynard was the closest to the absolute conviction in his singing back then, but Eddie was (and still is) something special.

I LOVE this video! As a singer and total vocal nerd myself, I found myself making almost the exact same comments right before you came in to basically echo what I was thinking! Especially on the verses; Eddie starts SUPER far forward with the distortion added by the false folds, and then gradually brings the sound back quite a bit; as if he's riding the fine line between singing far back, and swallowing the sound or getting guttural. I also nerded out on "life again // Kneeling" - to me it sounds like that final "again" is indeed pulled back, but he throws it almost as far as he can when he allides into "kneeling" - he's putting the words straight through gritted teeth! Thanks for the reaction and analysis!

The 90’s grunge era may never be duplicated again.

Finally this song! Keep doing these! Also, this is the new version, recommend checking out the album version too. They felt they didn't like the album version so they made this but I still don't think they're satisfied with any version. I personally think they both complement eachother. Maybe on your off-time though. Edit: I think this version is honestly better for a first reaction. This one is more energetic, as you said. It riles you up way more. So maybe it is a better introduction, but who knows, I can only speak of my experience, which is the opposite. And there's a whole cult around Eddie Vedder stagedives. There's a compilation on youtube of each one of them.

Eddie Vedder, by far, is my favorite Grunge singer. Probably my favorite singer of all time! The first time I heard the album TEN in late '91 I was a fan.

I just try my best to mimic the awesomeness of his voice! Thanks to my friends for the comparison! Thanks to you too Elizabeth for your great analysis...I won't judge you if you call him your definitive favorite Grunge singer!

@DestructionGlitter Ай бұрын

I had two best friends in highschool, we called ourselves the Chloes - I'll explain in a bit. Each of us "represented" one grunge band that was our personal favorite: I was Alice in Chains, Paloma was Soundgarden, and Jane was Pearl Jam. We would have lengthy arguments trying to convince one another that our chosen fave was the best singer. This video reminds me of that and it makes me nostalgic. Now - if you want to dig deeper into Pearl Jam lore, and grunge lore, you should listen to Mother Love Bone. Andy Wood was the original grunge poster boy, before it was even "grunge". The band members left behind after his untimely passing went on to form Pearl Jam with anonymous dude Eddie Vedder. And Chris Cornell, who was Andy's best friend, went on to write countless songs about him - starting with the Temple of the Dog album, out of which you reacted to Hunger Strike. Mother Love Bone has a gorgeous, haunting song called "Crown of Thorns" that has a version with a prolog called "Chloe Dancer". That's where "the Chloes" came from. Please listen to it. You won't regret it.

The amazing thing about Eddie Vedder is that if you listened to a show from 1992 or 2024, the same passion is there. He can't quite hit the highs like he used to (which he is aware of and jokes about at their live shows). The songs sound just as good from him 30+ years later and not a lot of performers can claim that. I've seen them live 5 times and each show is different and each time I leave happy and impressed.
