    Grunge was the logical next step in music. The 70's and 80's were so decadent and outrageous. There was so much selfishness going on and kids felt neglected. It's really, an embodiment of the angst produced by the 80's. Kurt, Eddie, Layne and Chris. I'd even say it was the cultural equivalent of rap music in that it expressed our anger at the status quo. These bands sort of told us all we are all suffering here. You are not alone. They saved my damn life. Not even being hyperbolic. Music heals better than any pill.

    • @DeanAlbenze
      @DeanAlbenze 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It’s the teenage/young angst expressed in the music. I’ve said the same. Rap took over as the mainstream most popular genre, so it only made sense for the subgeneres to emerge and the angst to be expressed in new music, with new people. Rock music has turned to garbage these days because they’re trying to cling to anything that will sell, meanwhile young rappers (the new wave of 2016-, (lil peep, lil uzi, juice wrld, xxxtentacion) all had rock infused songs, that gave them extra angst. They were literally the new rock stars, substance abuse and angst and fuck the system mentality and challenging their genre of origin. It’s extremely interesting stuff.

      I don't know if it's just your opinion. I think the 90's/2000's was the absolute best era of music ever! There are great hits from all years and genre's, and the 80's were the start of when we were able to start letting go and finally make the music people wanted to make and the messages they wanted to get out..... but the 90's and 2000's are when that feeling was fully realized and artists just absolutely let loose on the industry. Every generation will have 'their music', of course.

Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains...and every single one of their sets is incredible. And when you read the stories of the behind the scenes in getting them all their and getting it all to work, it's amazing that they all turned out as good as they did. Wasn't no youtube back in the day either so seeing them in this kind of setting was basically impossible. Wish there was more band performances going back way further in time.

    This is Eddie at his most perfect and beautiful--voice, face, hair, manner, everything. The way the song builds to the climactic "We belong together" draws you in, and when it's over, you're emotionally spent. Eddie is such a talented songwriter; the songs are like poetry, and some lines are just so profound. (I think the drums were too loud, but maybe that's just me 🙂)

So much more Pearl Jam to hear but if you have time try 'Better man', 'Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town', State of Love and Trust', 'Even Flow' or 'Given to Fly' I'm sure you will love them all.

      Eddie is one of the most emotional vocalists I've ever experience. One of the most emotional experiences I've ever had while listening to music is the first time I heard, "Come Back" from their Pearl Jam Album(also known as the Avocado Album).
      He just really puts his all into his performances, and it is always something to experience.
      "And these days, they linger on,
      And every night, what I'm waiting for...
      Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dreams."

    This is my all time favorite performance of my all time favorite song. This song contains what is, to me, the greatest line ever written in a rock song: "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky, but why can't it be mine?" Still brings me to tears nearly 30 years after I first saw this performance.

    Sheets of empty canvas
    Untouched sheets of clay
    Were laid spread out before me
    As her body once did
    All five horizons
    Revolved around her soul
    As the earth to the sun
    Now the air I tasted and breathed
    Has taken a turn
    Oh and all I taught her was everything
    Oh I know she gave me all that she wore
    And now my bitter hands
    Chafe beneath the clouds
    Of what was everything
    Oh the pictures have
    All been washed in black
    Tattooed everything
    I take a walk outside
    I'm surrounded by
    Some kids at play
    I can feel their laughter
    So why do I sear
    Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
    Round my head
    I'm spinning
    Oh, I'm spinning
    How quick the sun can, drop away
    And now my bitter hands
    Cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything
    All the pictures have
    All been washed in black
    Tattooed everything
    All the love gone bad
    Turned my world to black
    Tattooed all I see
    All that I am
    All that I'll be, yeah
    Uh huh, uh huh, oh
    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
    I know you'll be a star
    In somebody else's sky
    But why
    Why
    Why can't it be
    Oh can't it be mine

However, the song being as powerful and as soul tapping as it is…it just drew people into it. It couldn’t be ignored. It took off without ever being “officially released”, so it became a staple at their concerts.
    So, imagine, if you will…having to perform this extremely personal, gut wrenching song night after night. Maybe doing so was cathartic for him? Who knows?

      That's what music is supposed to do. It doesn't have to be released to the buying public as a single to draw people into it. A connection made is a connection made, and emotional honesty and integrity makes a much stronger connection than a beat and a hook. A beat can be replicated. The emotion is unique to the song, the writer.

      I always thought he was the best from that era, and is right up there with the best ever. Also a good dude that has really kept his shit together for the most part. Which clearly isn't easy in that world.
      That whole Temple of the Dog thing is such an interesting story in how and why it even came together. The fact you can literally count on one hand the number of times they ever even performed is unfortunate, even more unfortunate we ain't getting anymore. There's like one live performance caught on camera of Hunger Strike (besides the music video obviously) from back then that's pretty cool since it looks like it's a completely spur of the moment thing at what I think is probably some music festival. Then somehow Eddie and Chris didn't perform together for a long time, shame since they were the only two left and both seemed to have gotten past the "dangerous years". Now just Eddie left. If you ever get a chance to see the PJ20 documentary, it's well worth watching. I found it years ago and then couldn't for a long time but looks like it's show up on some sites to stream once again.

    This performance is one of Eddie Vedder's greatest and unfortunately you can just feel the pain come through. Not just in his voice but his body language. That moment at 2:17-2:38 as he gets deeper into his emotions he's first holding the mic with both hand, then one hand slips to his lap, then both to his lap cradling his stomach. Usually the body language of someone trying to protect themselves. Again at 4:45 his arm slowly creeps from his side to crossing over. If his voice didn't scream it enough those couple things show how real it is for him in this moment.

      🎵As thee earth to the su-hun, yeah🎵
      And that woowhoo thing during the "kids at play" part.
      4:41
      He puts his right hand on his left wrist as he's getting ready to say:
      🎵All the pictures had, all been washed in black🎵
      And that posture is the basis for portraits

    Eddie Vedder has one of those voices that is instantly recognisable. I'd be surprised if you didn't recognise his voice a little. Pearl Jam were one of the big names of the grunge movement in the 1990s, but they sustained their work and popularity well into the 2000s. Although their work rate has slowed down over the years, they are still working, and still popular.
    Their music and subject matter has always been quite evocative, with many songs about social or political matters, personal songs like this. Where Rage Against The Machine made you want to Rage. Pearl Jam made you think and empathise.
