I was fortunate enough to be at this show. It was, and still is, a top-3 favorite show of all time for me. I was a huge Mother Love Bone fan, and I followed their progression into Pearl Jam and scored tickets through a buddy. Just as you suggest, it was jam packed - I remember seeing Duffy from MTV up on the catwalk, behind the stage. The opener was a band called Eleven - and just as their set finished, the crowd just got tighter and pushed towards the stage. Such a great show...man, to be 21 again, with no cares in the world and seeing a new favorite band just on their rise...it was damn near perfect.

Another great one!

SPOT ON. This stuff is fantastic. Thank you again for sharing.

Stellar as usual. Your book needs to be published. The stories of your club days are excellent.

100% agree with you on rock n roll. Nece

Road Dog 😂😂 that is actually perfect even though how much I miss that glam era... the good glam.. " grunge killed Rock and roll but it needed killing " 😂😂 sad but sooo true!!! "Cherry Pies " what it was coming down to.. 😅😅 perfectly Said considering the great mark it made in Rock history. Great stuff hear thank you for sharing I hope if everything aligns right for the right reasons and greater good,... your stories can be told to much wider audience. Such a huge interest still.. stay well Road Dog...🤟🎸keep rockin rollin'!!

Great perspective! Title should be "How Grunge Killed Hair Metal". As a fan of both hair metal and mid-90's grunge (STP, Pearl Jam/ Green Day) I've said the same thing. Hair metal collapsed under its own weight. Too many copycat bands. The worst was when hair metal bands "tried" to change their sound/look to be like grunge bands.

They played SNL the day before

Great video. I loved Ten.. loved that record, but apart from a few other songs, I didnt care for them.. I still love the hair stuff, even the copy cat bands

Different era, i was in high school during this time, saw green day in 1994. It was fun. Your story is compelling as usual.

Totally agree metal needed a shake up.

I'll never forget Mike Schnapp at Epic partying with the Danger Danger guys, wearing 1 of their leather jackets with the band logo on the back, everyone celebrating & laughing it up....& then maybe 6 months later wearing a flannel shirt & partying with any given grunge band signed to the label?! Not knocking him, just part of the job I would think? Very accurate insight, I know I WASN'T at Limelight THAT night! 😁👍

I feel the same way about Pearl Jam. I went to a concert on their second album tour just to hear “Ten”. 😂

my good friend (RIP Kirit) filmed the Pearl Jam and LA Guns shows there at Limelight and more..warrant,mike monroe etc.. love these stories!!!!

You really hit the nail on the head, the industry needed to change.

Good stuff Road Dog it felt like a real lost time living through grunge

After I got into Soundgarden's Loud Love album in 89 I had a feeling that the Seattle sound aka "grunge" was going to become more popular in the next few years. Didn't expect just how big it became of course. That was still a surprise. Definitely didn't think it would be Nirvana or Pearl Jam leading the pack either. I still listen to Soundgarden, Mudhoney, and Screaming Trees.

Amazing story! Love how there is no b.s, just straight story! Looking forward to the next!

This was FASCINATING. I really get off on stories about the inner workings of the business. This was a perspective I haven't heard before. I often hear the same story told from every perspective, but this was just really fresh - especially the part about Kurt Cobain. I never bought the BS about him not wanting to be a star. Like he got to the top of the game by accident. Give me a break! Finally somebody shot it straight! 😆😆😆 But I really respect the vision that Pearl Jam had for themselves. You have to have that kind of ego to pull off that kind of a statement... and just deal with the enemies you make along the way. And it was a GREAT statement. The hyper-sexualizing of women could never just die a little death. It had to be brutal murder, and Eddie had the balls to do it. I happen to love Pearl Jam. 😘

The club owner Peter (can't spell his last name) was the club owner that let Mike alig throw parties.....

Great video as always! Would you ever get one of the guys you went to shows with back in the day on the channel to tell some stories with you?

Past…. That song wasn’t really about cherry pies 😉

This is the show kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5afmrmYqN6alpc.html

Interesting stuff! Great video! One question, and a comment though…. I agree with Nikki Sixx, Pearl Jam was to me, a really boring band, absolutely no substance to their music. But to me that grunge stuff, just had no substance. One man’s opinion. My question is was Pearl Jam anti girls too? LOL Seems to me they were anti everything. There’s a reason these bands like them aren’t around anymore.

Agree 100% . Too many copy cat groups and lame songs . Glam had to end 🤘🤘🤘

Pearl Jam - the most boring band of all time

I did not like the change at all.

Great story!...Never liked any of that stuff......Thank you for reinforcing what i always belived...PEARL JAM SUCKS..!!...RATT-N--ROLL 4EVER!!!
