@@richardhowle8591 I'm no singer, so I had to look up the exact definition for you since nobody else answered. A falsetto is a method of voice production used by male singers, especially tenors, to sing notes higher than their normal range. I hope this helps you, friend:D
7:25 when a Vocal Coach suddenly forgets about all the technique and is blown away by the emotions.... for me this is just one of the most emotional live performances of all time
I'm a 50+ yr old black guy and I listen to this song once a day! To be able to feel his emotions and just raw energy of pain to pad to audience is incredible. Bravo Eddie!
@@moniq914 and that young lady is what music is suppose to do to you when done right! Give Al Green's "How do you mend a broken heart " live version a listen or Jill Scott's first album "live" edition. You'll definitely cry a few times. Your emotions signal your great taste in music no doubt about it!
Eddie is an incredible vessel for emotion. He uses his entire body to project his thoughts and emotions. Watch again and watch his hands, eyes, and mouth. He is a very quiet and shy person, soft spoken but the moment he gets on stage he releases it all. Pinkpop 92' Porch is a great video to express this.
his way on stage reminds me a bit of aurora's. and they both remind me heavily of plenty of neurodivergent people I've met as well as myself. I'm not here to diagnose but I find it deeply fascinating, how different people use their bodies to express emotion in song.
This song is, simply, about a girl that he loved when he was younger. I’ve heard this recording many times, and I’ve found it fascinating that he essentially cries for exactly one note at the climax. He must’ve really been feeling it this performance because he added a lot. The “we belong together” isn’t in the song, but it’s heavily implied in my opinion. This song is one of the saddest I’ve ever heard. The others would be Disturbed’s Cover of The Sound Of Silence, Wings For Marie/10,000 Days by Tool, and Daddy by Korn. I recommend all of these except Daddy, because the weight of that is mostly in the lyrics and not the performance. Great review!

This song hits a similar chord with everyone. If you have ever lost anyone close to you or your first real love that ended you will feel this song with Eddie. you can still have that same experience today but not as easily.
@@jasonsulewski8215 Of course. But just like one of the lines in Creep by Radiohead goes like "I don't care if it hurts" ; there's a cover where this old man says "It's okay if it hurts" Emotionally wrong isn't wrong either. Breathe, Teacher. Breathe.
Here's the link... for me a double emotion, because of a memory about a fact that probably even Vedder didn't konw... about 400 metres behind this stage (Park of Cascine) stands up the roof of the Opera Theather, over that is a little open air stage, about 1.000 seats capacity, Chris played there in acoustic one-man-show in June 2012 (six years before this Eddie's concert at Firenze Rocks), obviously I had been there, too. th-cam.com/video/IfmKAkVfvgA/w-d-xo.html
I sure as hell can't sing this song like Eddie can but I can feel it like him. I think we all have had that one person in our lives that we just can't shake.
About 6:20 it looks like you realize the full emotional impact of this song. Eddie goes to another place here and this much raw emotion can't be matched.
To this day in 2020, this entire 1992 performance remains one of the best concerts televised on live TV ever! And son of a beach towel that look of anguish on his face by the end!
So, Black is my favorite song of all time, and this is my favorite performance of it. The part where you paused and said that he was building up to something("how quick the sun can drop away"), was actually him messing up the lyrics. That line you'll hear again later in the song, where it's supposed to be. You can see the realization for a split second. I think the fact that he still sang the actual heck out of it, is a testament to his abilities. To this day, his live performances of black are full of that same emotion. He's incredible. Thanks for this cool analysis!
I'm a huge fan and never stopped being one. Still bummed Nashville was postponed. But yes, even today, when they perform that song, it's still raw, emotional and I think everyone can relate to it. I've heard it more times, in more versions than I can recall and it still hits me hard.
I noticed that too the first time I saw it "I know she gave me all that she wore" was what he meant to sing - and you're so right! That little pursed lip and slight shake of the head was him being a bit pissed at himself for messing up - but like you say, he still committed to the mistake and delivered an otherwise flawless performance.
Alice n Chains unplugged is awesome . I still.listen to it. Pearl James does wonders unplugged as well. I've heard alot ofunplugged music from the greatest and none of them have touched me like PJ and AIC...Its as if you can feel every word in every song somewhere deep .
I’ve been on a self destructive trip with that song for the last 3 weeks now, it’s been always my fave out of Ten, but man, this performance kills me every time. Also, Eddie’s cheekbones are something to die for! ;)
Hey, you may have listened to the CD Ten.... did you ever hear the hidden song? Maybe it might help you. It helps me when I get upset... th-cam.com/video/uBVm-K0rsrQ/w-d-xo.html
I took the night off work the night it was first aired on MTV and had a party I had a TV in the kitchen living room and another room so three total was watching and hanging out and when porch came on, Eddie Vedder fell off his stool All three rooms got quiet, And just watched the rest of that song and I told everyone there that I’ll go down in history is one of the greatest unplugged performance ever but no most people when they’re young and partying. Don’t realize it’s gonna be part of history.
This song is Vedder’s vocal masterpiece. He is doing more than singing his voice is the lead instrument. He is almost scatting in jazz parlance but with real words. The emotion is palpable.
He was in dating a girl all through high school and they were in a extremely close relationship and everything revolved around her and when it came later in his senior year she left him and he never saw or heard from her again. Very deep song.
I was a radio DJ in my teens in the late 90's... That vocal run at 4:05 made me set up a meeting with our music director to insist this version replace the album version. Killer performance. This & the Alice in Chains "Unplugged" were simply phenomenal. Honestly, that's one of my favorite parts of any song, ever. :)
Am I the only person who's always wildly impressed by how long he could hold a note? These days he has to breathe in the middle of them. Smoking for 30+ years will do that to you. This video gives me chills, gets me hot, and makes me cry, all at the same time, every time. Eddie is pure perfection here--his singing is so passionate yet he seems so vulnerable, and he is just simply beautiful. He's never sounded or looked better. And what is it about the way he moves his mouth starting at 8:06 that is so incredibly sexy? 😍😍😍
Seeing Pearl Jam live transcends the energy of their music to a whole other level. You just have to see them to understand, which I'm grateful to have done thrice.
The back up singers are the founding members of Pearl Jam formally Mother Love Bone guys who lost their lead vocalist Andy Wood. Then forming Pearl Jam from the ashes
His voice is the music...and Eddie uses his whole body, being and soul to create those vocals. He probably doesn't know how. That's why it is so special.
The fact that your eyes lit it up! Understanding, then the beach towel.... That is why I watch these!!! You get human emotion, and then educate as well!!
Ive listened to this song a thousand times since 92 and it gives me goosebumps everytime. Pearl Jam made such emotionally raw tunes that it had me in tears many times
Do Alice in Chains - Love Hate Love or! Man in The Box both live at The Moore version ... Layne Staley at his Prime for me the Best Singer from Grunge Era
That's just another reason why Grunge was the last great era...You can distinctively tell the big 4 leaf singers apart..And u just CANNOT beat their emotion
This particular performance NEVER gets old for me. It's a masterpiece. The "I'm surrounded by....." part blows me away every time. It's just awesome and beautiful song and this is really the only way to listen to it.
The whole unplugged set was a masterclass, start to finish. Just astounding. In my 40's now and still no song makes me NEED/HAVE to move like the song, Porch, in this set. 9/10 cats recommend it. Would love to see a reaction video to that track. Bring a towel - sweat-inducing. lolz
This has always been, and will continue to be, my favorite song and live performance. I know absolutely nothing about music, but this performance gives me chills every time I listen to it. Thanks for your reaction to this...it's great knowing people are still talking about it! Low key best live performance of all time!!!
That falsetto is a gift and I love how he completely defies everything I was taught in vocal coaching...."open your mouth wider...enunciate your words." He breaks all the rules successfully.
Not sure if others have already answered this. But when the band got together Eddie was still living in California and would send them lyrics he had written then Mike and Stone would do the musical composition. I'm sure Eddie would then give input. As for vocal damage. I've seen Pearl Jam perform a dozen times over 3 decades, and off to see them again in November. His vocals have changed little other than he his performances aren't as raw as they were in the early days. Vocally Eddie is Eddie, and Mike, Stone, and the rest of the musicians that tour with them are incredible.
It's like Eddie was speaking to anyone amd everyone that had been through that situation. So powerful. That was a really good breakdown of this performance, well done.
I lived in Seattle and it was an incredible time. Pearl Jam was my favorite band of that time and now. Their concerts are 3 hours of energy, honesty, and pure talent from every member! Each night Eddie makes up a new song list! A must see band! 💞✌🎸
@@Nugromant it shows your inner homophobia, you can find a man handsome and be the straightest man in the world ahah are you afraid people think you're gay?
@@sliverbox271991 Lol "inner homophobia" hahahahahaa yeah sure sounds to me like intolerant people are asking for "tolerance" with ridiculous arguments
Yep. I'm pretty sure Eddie never had a singing lesson in his life. I'm singing 20 years and I'm pretty good, but I'd still struggle to copy that moment, and I flat out would not be able to improvise to that level. Eddie has incredible, natural talent that you just can't teach.
Pearl Jam was high school music for me. I remember watching MTV until the early morning hours for videos of them, Candlebox, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, etc etc. There was no Internet, so it was the radio or MTV. VH1 was more like classic rock. I've seen PJ 6 times, but the last was over 15 years ago.
This song is about his high school sweetheart, and they got married and she divorced him for another singer who he thought was a friend. So he wrote this song. They didn't have kids, but later he remarried to a supermodel and they have children and still going strong. You can also hear isolated vocals on Eddie and others on TH-cam. Much love 💘
I've seen that specific Pearl Jam performance of Black unplugged so many times and every single time at some point I always get goosebumps because of Eddie Vedder's voice like right now it's almost ninety degrees outside where I live and I got goosebumps because of that video.
His voice is so freaking awesome...his voice even older sounds amazing. I have seen them 47 times and never ever have they ever disappointed me with there performances. He takes to a different place when he sings. Great reaction btw.
I'm really glad I discovered you and this channel! (You have an amazing voice btw) Came here because of your Tool video. Stayed because you are a very talented and fascinating guy with a thoughtful and unique perspective that you deliver very eloquently, with high production value as well. Keep providing this great content and you'll have a huge channel in no time!
I am truly amazed that eddie could scream throughout the 90s and then in the 2000s write and perform exquisite songs such as those on the soundtrack to Into the Wild. His voice has only improved since then! Extraordinary vocalist 😍
Dude the fact that you said "growl" is spot on alot of vocal coaches get it confused with vocal fry they are not the same never were .I think maybe that's a new term that came out in the last ten years but i no longer hear the term "growls" ever used anymore .I growl I don't use any manipulation to build into a vocal fry I just glad I finally heard a vocal coach say "growl" and I just want to say thank you !
![His Voice! Full of pain yet beauty 😩| Pearl Jam - Black (MTV Unplugged) [REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
There’s one thing about Eddie that will always be true. He is GOING to make you feel every single word. Whether you want to or not.
And whether you'll understand it/him (the lyrics) or not.
TRUTH always.....
I wonder if those in the audience had any idea they were watching a piece of music history?
I wish I was in that audience, I would give anything to go back to early 90 and see this legend in his prime!!!

Thanks for your reaction to this...it's great knowing people are still talking about it! Low key best live performance of all time!!!
"It's like he wants to jump out of his seat." If you know anything about Eddie, he'll do much more than just jump off of that stool. 😁
Stages and high beams
@@VivacityTS that's crazy ed for u
I am pretty sure he fall off the stool during the porch preformance at the end of the set
@@drpickledude He did indeed! Gotta love him
I saw him playing monkey boy on the lighting rig Auckland '98. They got off lightly at MTV.
That falsetto is a gift and I love how he completely defies everything
I was taught in vocal coaching...."open your mouth wider...enunciate your words." He breaks all the rules successfully.
He looks very different when he finishes singing this song.
Not sure if others have already answered this. But when the band got together Eddie was still living in California and would send them lyrics he had written then Mike and Stone would do the musical composition. I'm sure Eddie would then give input.
As for vocal damage. I've seen Pearl Jam perform a dozen times over 3 decades, and off to see them again in November. His vocals have changed little other than he his performances aren't as raw as they were in the early days. Vocally Eddie is Eddie, and Mike, Stone, and the rest of the musicians that tour with them are incredible.
Oh man, I am geting old, I love Pearl Jam, my favorite band 20 years ago, and I love Eddie´s aolo stuff. Great reaction. Thanks
It's like Eddie was speaking to anyone amd everyone that had been through that situation. So powerful.
That was a really good breakdown of this performance, well done.
Eddie is beautiful inside and outside 💜
I've watched this MTV UNPLUGGED SOOO MANY TIMES, IM FREAKIN CRAZY🤪 I LOVE PEARL JAM AND EDDIE IS SOOO FREAKING GORGEOUS!!
I absolutely love this song - loud so you can feel the vibrations under your feet and the walls seem to bounce. Love Pearl Jam.
If you're wondering about his voice now, check out Sirens by Pearl Jam. Beautiful
Was a Great Song and session Thank You ken
Eddie Vedder has the voice of what I think an angel would sound like 👍👍 U ROCK EDDIE!!!
I lived in Seattle and it was an incredible time. Pearl Jam was my favorite band of that time and now. Their concerts are 3 hours of energy, honesty, and pure talent from every member! Each night Eddie makes up a new song list! A must see band! 💞✌🎸
6:10 that's also how I look to young Eddie Vedder, the man was handsome AF and has a voice like no other. BTW not gay.
you needn't to clarify your sexuality, though
@@sliverbox271991 I still did, what's the problem with that?
@@Nugromant it shows your inner homophobia, you can find a man handsome and be the straightest man in the world ahah are you afraid people think you're gay?
@@sliverbox271991 Lol "inner homophobia" hahahahahaa yeah sure sounds to me like intolerant people are asking for "tolerance" with ridiculous arguments
As a female, I find Eddie one of the sexiest men ever! The looks, the voice, the emotion, the personality...
Just one of many reasons Eddie is a fkn legend! Seen them live twice and he puts everything he’s got into EVERY performance. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
That bit when he flipped in the second verse was actually an improvisation.
Yep. I'm pretty sure Eddie never had a singing lesson in his life. I'm singing 20 years and I'm pretty good, but I'd still struggle to copy that moment, and I flat out would not be able to improvise to that level. Eddie has incredible, natural talent that you just can't teach.
Eddie has me speechless too! I just close my eyes lay back and listen to the song, just awesome!
Eddie sings with his whole body and soul. I'm surprised he was able to stay seated
Talent like this we are so fortunate to have lived in the same timeline and witness this. I remember this like it was yesterday. Amazing.
I got to see them live. They are phenomenal
Pearl Jam was high school music for me. I remember watching MTV until the early morning hours for videos of them, Candlebox, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, etc etc. There was no Internet, so it was the radio or MTV. VH1 was more like classic rock.
I've seen PJ 6 times, but the last was over 15 years ago.
It was stone Gossard! Eddie wrote the lyrics on his way up to seattle to audition for the band, the music was already composed
This song is about his high school sweetheart, and they got married and she divorced him for another singer who he thought was a friend. So he wrote this song. They didn't have kids, but later he remarried to a supermodel and they have children and still going strong. You can also hear isolated vocals on Eddie and others on TH-cam. Much love 💘
I've seen that specific Pearl Jam performance of Black unplugged so many times and every single time at some point I always get goosebumps because of Eddie Vedder's voice like right now it's almost ninety degrees outside where I live and I got goosebumps because of that video.
It's a very personal song for the Eddie and you can feel it.
Pearl Jam " Black " Stone Gossard (guitarest) wrote the melody Eddie wrote the lyrics. I was lucky enoudg to see them twice.
"I feel like he's got one gear, and that's the Eddie Vedder gear" (123 seconds later) "Holy crap!"
"son of a beach towel"... and subscribed!
Eddie looks so young in this video. I loved that grunge look
His voice is so freaking awesome...his voice even older sounds amazing. I have seen them 47 times and never ever have they ever disappointed me with there performances. He takes to a different place when he sings. Great reaction btw.
Wow lucky you, dang it! That is amazing 🤘🤘🤘🤘 I LOVE PEARL JAM FOREVER ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️!!
I'm really glad I discovered you and this channel! (You have an amazing voice btw) Came here because of your Tool video. Stayed because you are a very talented and fascinating guy with a thoughtful and unique perspective that you deliver very eloquently, with high production value as well. Keep providing this great content and you'll have a huge channel in no time!
I am truly amazed that eddie could scream throughout the 90s and then in the 2000s write and perform exquisite songs such as those on the soundtrack to Into the Wild. His voice has only improved since then! Extraordinary vocalist 😍
For those of you who have a soul... One of the greatest songs ever.
Dude the fact that you said "growl" is spot on alot of vocal coaches get it confused with vocal fry they are not the same never were .I think maybe that's a new term that came out in the last ten years but i no longer hear the term "growls" ever used anymore .I growl I don't use any manipulation to build into a vocal fry I just glad I finally heard a vocal coach say "growl" and I just want to say thank you !
