Hes literally screaming into the mic and still sounds like an angel

Eddie Vedder: One of the few singers that sounds like the album while singing live. Such an amazing singer.

Man, the amount of talent that drummer has is criminally underrated. What a beast.

1992. A completely different world.

Grunge singers were just in a different league. I for real can’t think of a bad one. Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland... all amazing.

It doesn't get more 90's than this.

At least Josh didnt mess up the lights

Eddie's hand movement in the beginning and the folks vibing in the background is iconic

you can't beat Eddies facial expressions while singing

Rare footage of Steezus and his mates creating music after an afternoon of skateboarding with homies 🛐 HE HAS RIZZEN

The 90's were a beautiful thing 😪

fricking incredible chill inducing voice and performance, I can't get enough of this man, I hope one day I could reach this level of skill

The drummer is really killing it. It's hard to stand out as a drummer when you have a monster singer like Eddie Vedder in your band.

The best drummer Pearl Jam ever had

The drummer is so good.

Eddie and PJ still great in 2024. would love to see you guys..

The live fade out at 3:30 is just so insane. Incredible musicianship.

The golden age. Man, I'm so glad I watched these on MTV when they came out. No idea we were watching history then.

When someone plays a acoustic version and it sounds better than the studio version... It means he's a very good artist.

This is where rock and roll peaked. It will never be this good again.

The drums and vocals are working together almost as one lead instrument during this performance which is what makes it so masterful. Proper art

possibly my favorite live performance of all time

SHREDDING ACOUSTICLY FOR OUR SINS

Interviewer, "how long can you hold your breath when singing?" Eddie, "yes"

My dude straight vibin in the background at 3:16 is my spirit animal

Eddies facial expressions are nothing short of beautiful.

31 years on, still gives chills

These guys were a milestone in the history of the 90s. Their show has a different emergy than other bands in my feelings

It doesn't get eddie vedder than this :)

0:02 those folks in the background started grooving to the dave's cue !

Eddie’s facial expressions tells you how this man was singing from the depths of his soul 👍👍👍

Pearl Jam's best drummer 👏

I’m starting to question if Eddie ever inhales

They're fucking great, one of the best bands ever to exist!

MTV Unplugged must have been a divine gift from our Creator. Never saw one that was less than perfect.

Ever notice that music back then was phenomenal live and overall better versus now? It’s gotten so bad I feel like I’m in a nightmare. I was privileged to have grown up with this music.

i've never heard a live performance that was this good. dude was just that talented.

One of the best voices in world, still alive

This before autotune & vocal software that would make you sound perfect. This is what actual talent looks/sounds like. Pearl Jam & Eddie has to be 1 of the most iconic bands in history. I saw them in 99 & they sounded exactly like their album. Amazing

Dave’s groove is so nice

Best part of this song for me "Praaayyyyiiinnng nowtosomethingthathasnevershowedhimanything"

0:42 that lil ‘hm’ there oml😭❤️

Dave killllllllling it. Best drummer PJ ever had

the bass here is insane

I can't stop listening to this stuff over and over and over again...

I miss the 90's. I miss Grunge.

Man, imagine going to unplugged😭😭😭 must be awesome!!

Just straight talent and emotion oozing from every fucking orifice of all these dudes. 44 years old. My god this shit hits so hard.

Josh was definitely not responsible with the lighting at this event.

3:15 hahahaha look at pablo escobar rocking like nothing

Amazing, you will never see this raw talent again

Dave Abbressiese is one of the greatest drummers ever.

Happy to say Dave made 75% of why this line up was the most successful.

Eddie Vedder is simply fantastic!!!

Eddie doesnt sing the song, he IS the song

rip layne, rip chris, rip kurt 😢😢😢 glad eddie still with us 😢😢😢

the drum part to this is my favorite!

Drummer is killing whole show man ❤❤❤

His voice is insane!

The drummer stands alone, cadent rhythms, the ne plus ultra!

all grunge singers have their own character voices, and this typically brought them to the top

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again Oh, feelin', maybe he'll see a little better set a days, ooh yeah Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh, yeah Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh, yeah Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away Someday yet, he'll begin his life again Life again, life again Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything, oh Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winter's on its way, oh Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away Someday yet, he'll begin his life again Whispering hands, gently lead him away Him away, him away Yeah! Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah oh! Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away Him away, him away Yeah! Oh!

This is absolutely timeless, pure raw talent... The drums are killing it so, god damn... his voice also, the guitars, my god. Superb

You know, I don't listen to alot of Pearl Jam, but its interesting how they are SO GOOD and the majority of the world agrees that they are SO GOOD that they don't get as much play. Every one of their songs is imprinted in my brain. I would say, they are one of the best bands that has ever existed, and certainly a strange microcosm of what happens when you are SO GOOD that your music becomes so much a part of life that you don't listen to it recreationally.

This was like the prime time for MTV.

Anyone listening to this epic track in 2019 and still wishing Dave.A should do a reunion with PJ. Best drummer. Those hihat patterns. Wow

Just a band having an absolute blast playing together. You could tell these guys just love jamming

The best drummer of pearl Jam ever

How can Eddie Vedder be so gorgeous?

those dudes jammin in the background really knew what was up! i love them haha

When Eddie vedder sings his vocal chords Pierce my soul and heart

The voice of a god!!

Pearl Jam is the best performance band of Mtv unplugged series

Lmao you can see that Eddie’s trying his damn hardest not to get up and start dancing around. What a legend

Great voice… along with Scott Weiland and that whole grunge era

I never really realized that Eddie has an incredible voice even though I've listened to pearl jam thousands of times since the 90's.

His voice. Everytime. Fuc*ng vibes down my spine.

So awesome to hear every instrument clearly!! Love this unplugged stuff!!

As a guitar player in the 90's, I watched this over and over pausing and playing my VHS player to learn all the nuances of this song.. thank you MTV.

Dave Abbruzzese was an icon... Best drummer Pearl Jam ever had

So we ain’t gonna talk about how hard this two dudes in the back are vibin

This is by far the best unplugged ever performed.

i'm nowhere near the biggest fan of pearl jam, but I do admire them. this song is baked into the very fabric of my soul lmao EVEN FLOO-OOOOOOOOHHH

2022 still LOVE Pearl Jam and this song is one of the coolest ever! Would love to live all the time again! Miss the 90s - begin of 2000s

Eddie. Forever. 🖤

He is the only singer that his voice never changes whether it's the unplugged, live or in the studio. His voice is amazing

These grunge bands were elite the best of the best

Can't understand why anyone would dislike this.

Eddie Vedder at a show in Seattle, revealed that he composed this piece inspired by a destitute friend he met in those years, who was curiously also called Eddie. He was nothing less than a veteran of the Vietnam War with whom the musician had a relationship and brought him food. One day, after a trip to Europe, he learned that he had died and that his last days had been spent living on a bridge. "He never got to hear this song or know that it was part of it. The important thing is to increase understanding and empathy towards them "

Best performance ever... most beautiful man i have ever seen with the voice of an angel ❤

The grunge music movement is highly underrated too many truely remarkable artists still haven't received due credit for remarkable composition s

No in-ear monitor, yet Eddie was perfectly in pitch. This and Queensryche are the best of the unplugged sessions by far. We need this show back for the current crop of bands and artists. Show us what you really got.

Outstanding drummer.

Over 50 & I still get goose bumps hearing this music

Who’s vibing here in 2023? Such a masterpiece. Thank you Eddie! This song takes me to good places, fantastic version!

Great singer and handsome man

Eddie, one out of a few artists that still sound the same 20 years down the line, amazing.

One of THE MOST TALENTED BANDS I have ever Heard!

The thing I always loved about this particular unplugged show was listening to my favorite drummer, certainly the best pj ever had

i like how everyone else went acoustic/low volume, but then dave just said "nah im good"
