    The way he leand back towards david while being hugged from behind, gives that young eddie vibe. So humble and cool

    Mind you....I'm in my 60's, and I'm really missing his great head of hair. Some things should never be cut off. He had the best hair.

    I fucking love how he looks back at the other players kind of implying “couldn’t do this without you guys…” I’ve met him twice and he really is an exceptional human.

    • @smilebot484
      @smilebot484 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      funny i thought he was thinking oh boy you guys are so out of tune. they sounded like crap

    • @kylehopper4514
      @kylehopper4514 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@smilebot484i thought the same thing. To me he was wanting to bring it in himself with just his guitar like the song actually comes in originally with just his guitar and then the band comes in and follows. But he looked back like ohhh ok yall are bringing it in and they was so loud and out of tune and key (hence how he was singing it) so he just went with it and didn't really like it and if you notice his guitar you couldn't even hear it really he kept looking at sides and looking at his guitar like uhh can you turn it on or up and he has to sing extra loud because of the band behind him. He didn't like it. It wasn't how he wanted it to sound. But he's eddie and went with it. You can tell by how he sang it and acted he didn't like it. Just my opinion. If your a real pearl jam fan you will notice these things I noticed.

  • @VistavisionMike
    @VistavisionMike 3 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    I'm not a big Pearl Jam fan. However, I saw this on Letterman when it first aired. Since then I have watched this clip hundreds of times. God damn...this is what rock is all about. It's totally blazing, balls to the walls, take no prisoners, set your amps to 11. If ever I'm feeling bad I put this on my audio system and crank it all the way up and let it rip!! It makes me feel ALIVE. Vedder is the man...dude you know the answer to it all. Thank you.

    • @mag-nm7tw

    I was putting my 5 year old daughter to bed and we were working on her reading when her bedroom door creeped open and my daughter quickly turned and pretended to be asleep when her 2 year old brother walked in crawled into her bed with the biggest smile and tried to wake her up. I immediately thought of this song and now it’s my favorite song ever

    How time flies, isn't it?. I'm sure that's what David thought once that photo from 1996 appeared. It was almost 20 years man. Just think the many things that can happen in just 5 years, now imagine in 20 years. I'm glad that David had another chance after so long, and of course, before the show was set to end forever 🍷🗿

      @79random 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      As you age you too will find that while your talent AND spirit remains, it's the energy that lessens. Just as the case with Eddie, watch at the 3 minute mark and tell me his spirit has diminished!

    It seems like he wasn't anticipating the piano intro to work so well without the guitar. I'm a numnuts so I know nothing, but seemed like he made a split decision to let it just roll

    • @kylehopper4514

      Thats exactly what happend. He had a different way in his head and the CBS orchestra kinda stole it and almost made it an instrumental. Eddie just rolled with it.
