Eddie Vedder is / has a vibe. That's why Pearl Jam's music has touched so many people all over the years, Eddie's voice and charisma and the band's musicianship. A wonderful mix. And yes, we'll be watching to see you check out the 'mother of all stage dive' during that Pinkpop performance...
Oh man, young Eddie is so awesome! I’ve seen these guys live like 9 times my parents were huge fans and brought me to all the shows they went to. So good live! 10/10 recommend
We got us another convert, PJ fans! When you get to see how their sound has evolved over the years, i think youll be even more hooked. Can't wait to see more!
For me, Pearl Jam is all about storytelling. I am 49 years old man, and they first album "Ten" rock my teenage world, and still have that effect on me! PJ are very much alive, and i strongly recommend they latest "Dark Matter" album! Anyway, i love your reaction, and hello from Serbia!❤
This is why I and millions upon millions of others are Pearl Jam fans because Eddie Vedder & his band members express their wild crazy authentic selves on stage and off stage and their Hippie Neo-60's vibe and protest songs for War, Social Injustice, poverty, & homelessness!!!! And when Eddie is tired at the end of his songs he falls out on stage and he has the confidence that his fans are going to catch if he falls!!!!
This is about a Vietnam vet who was also named Eddie. Ed befriended him and said some days he was clear-headed and some days he wasn’t really there. Ed would sit outside (wherever it was that PJ was working at the time) and eat sandwiches with him. After PJ did their first shows in Europe, Ed returned and didn’t see Eddie in his regular spot. He asked around and found out he was living under a certain bridge. Ed went to visit him there, but after their next set of out-of-town shows he found out Eddie had died. 😢
I'm kind of jealous, getting to discover Pearl Jam for the first time, when I was young they blew my mind and changed my world, no lie. This in my humble opinion was some of the best music ever created and performed, strap in and enjoy the ride, it's gonna be a long one. ✌❤
It's crazy to me that eddie vedder is only one of the big 4 grunge singers with us. RIP Kurt, Layne, and Chris. You guys changed music forever and few lives as well along the way. Thank you.
@anthonyguadagnino2681 yeah... that's true. Sometimes though I think it's not the drugs we are addicted to but the depression we seem to be addicted to and drugs or alcohol are the only things that help. If only for awhile. Just makes it even harder to stop. Anyway...way too soon.
🥁🥁🥁🥁 yeah Saeed .. this is top notch Rock & Roll. The band gives 100% through all their shows. It is clear that Eddie was born to be a Rock Star !!! They have a song that is a little more mellow titled "Better Man" that I think you will enjoy. .. .. and yes .. I met Eddie and the band when they were the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. I was working the afterparty that happened after the show was aired
If you’re looking for songs similar to “Even Flow” by Pearl Jam, you’ll want tracks with a mix of the following elements: • Grunge and Alternative Rock Sound: Distorted guitars, raw energy, and emotional lyrics. • Powerful Vocals: Dynamic, often gravelly voices (like Eddie Vedder’s). • ’90s Rock Vibes: Songs with the same era-defining sound from bands of the Seattle scene and other rock groups from that time. Here’s a curated list of songs that capture a similar feel to “Even Flow”: Grunge Essentials (Similar Sound and Energy) 1. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” - Nirvana • A defining grunge anthem with explosive guitar riffs and angsty energy. 2. “Man in the Box” - Alice in Chains • Dark, moody, and heavy with Layne Staley’s commanding vocals and Jerry Cantrell’s powerful guitar. 3. “Outshined” - Soundgarden • A blend of Chris Cornell’s deep vocals and intense, riff-driven sound. 4. “Alive” - Pearl Jam • Another Pearl Jam classic with soaring guitars and Eddie Vedder’s storytelling. 5. “Plush” - Stone Temple Pilots • Rich in melody and gritty energy, with Scott Weiland’s unmistakable vocals. 6. “Nearly Lost You” - Screaming Trees • A catchy grunge hit with Mark Lanegan’s brooding voice and fuzzy guitars. 7. “Vasoline” - Stone Temple Pilots • Punchy rhythm and dynamic, driving riffs that resonate with “Even Flow”. Alternative Rock from the Era 8. “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” - Smashing Pumpkins • Combines aggression with emotional depth, led by Billy Corgan’s raw vocals. 9. “Would?” - Alice in Chains • Deeply emotive and atmospheric, with a powerful riff and layered harmonies. 10. “Black Hole Sun” - Soundgarden • A darker, psychedelic grunge track, yet still maintaining a heavy rock edge. 11. “Cherub Rock” - Smashing Pumpkins • Strong opening riffs and a raw alternative rock sound reminiscent of Even Flow. 12. “No Rain” - Blind Melon • While lighter, it shares a laid-back groove and soulful energy. Hard Rock and Blues-Influenced Alternatives 13. “Interstate Love Song” - Stone Temple Pilots • A driving, blues-inspired rock tune with a similar nostalgic yet hard-hitting sound. 14. “Hunger Strike” - Temple of the Dog • A collaboration featuring Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell, blending two iconic voices. 15. “Jeremy” - Pearl Jam • Another Pearl Jam staple, known for its powerful lyrics and dynamic intensity. 16. “Far Behind” - Candlebox • An underrated grunge gem with big riffs and emotive vocals. 17. “Touch, Peel and Stand” - Days of the New • Acoustic-grunge with a raw, grounded energy similar to early Pearl Jam. 18. “Shine” - Collective Soul • Heavy guitars and a powerful chorus that carries the same rock anthem vibe. 19. “Come as You Are” - Nirvana • A slower, groovy track with a similar grungy guitar tone.

For a deeper dive into this era, exploring more of Pearl Jam’s album Ten or the grunge compilations like “Singles” soundtrack would add more gems to your playlist.
Holy crap, dude…..do you have your own channel? You should be a DJ. Thanks for your gift of time in putting together a well thought-out list of great songs that are connected by feel/genre. I might go through this list myself as I’ve heard maybe a third of these songs. GREAT choice in Them Crooked Vultures. Really under-known and under-appreciated super group. They go HARD
Early 90’s man what a great time for music!!! You never lived until you heard these bands!!! Nirvana,Pearl Jam, Soundgarden,Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Stp!!!
I love Pearl Jam from the beginning!! I saw them live in 1993 and then in 2005!! You cannot go wrong by going down the PJ rabbit hole... it's definitely worth a deep dive! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Heard a great interview with the guitarist, Mike McCready, who said that the main riff for this song is basically Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child” sped up and in drop D. Even the solo has that Hendrix/SRV feel. These guys nailed it with this song
I feel privileged to have been a teen coming of age in the early 90s when this music was coming out. My first crowd surfing experience was at a PJ show in 1992 (not quite 17 at the time). I’m so glad I have those experiences to look back on.
First heard this at work (at a Toronto multilingual TV station) after watching the Rolling Stones 3-D concert broadcast in 1990. Remains a personal fave by the band. Ridiculous energy, legendary performances. You/I/we saw it. "Peyote and preserves", Eddie ended an account of the origin of the band's name. Okay. 🆒️ 😎
great song, its about homelessness also about Eddie becoming friend with a homeless person that used to hang out around the studio they'd practice at, one day after a tour, Eddie went looking for that person to hang out but couldn't find him, eventually he found out the person had passed away on the streets due to the weather. Also at the end of this video, Eddie adds some lyrics to the original ones and it goes: "I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead."
Great band! Listened to these guys a lot in the 90’s. This album, Ten, almost every track hit home to my heart and I would cry. I was 19 when this album came out
I love me some Eddie Vedder. He's going to be 60 on December 23 and he still sounds great. I don't know how you take requests but I would highly recommend "Release" from a 2016 live performance at Wrigley Field. It's incredible. A lot of people like the same song from a performance in 1992. But I like the more recent one better. New subsciber here, but I've been watching you for a couple months.
I think what he is saying at the end is "I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched me. I died and you walked by and said,'No, am dead.
PJ are a great band to fall in love with and are still making great music. From this first album era, you need to check out Release (most people would say their Holland ‘92 performance) and State of Love and Trust from MTV Unplugged. But then move on to their second album and check out Go, Rearviewmirror, Daughter, and Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town.
THANK YOU SAEED, AWESOME REACTION!! I LOVE PEARL JAM MY FAVORITE BAND ON THIS CRAZY PLANET!! SUGGESTION: "DO THE EVOLUTION" ORGINAL MUSIC VIDEO. BUCKLE UP VERY STRONG MESSAGE. INCREDIBLE MUSIC VIDEO! THE AWESOME VIDEO CAME OUT IN 1998. SO MANY INCREDIBLE SONGS AND LIVE PERFORMANCES!! AND LIKE COMMENTS REQUEST "PORCH" AT PINKPOP 1992, THAT WHOLE CONCERT IS AWESOME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME VIDEO, SORRY ABOUT THE ALL CAPS I CAN'T SEE VERY WELL SO I APOLOGIZE. KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD 🌎 EVERYONE!! 😊💓🔥✌️🤘
Pearl Jam is the best band of the last 30 years. Lots of bands have 3 or 4 brilliant songs. Pearl Jam has dozens and dozens of master pieces. You should check out Release (live from Holland). Any version of Present Tense. Any version of Corduroy. And I strongly recommend you do a live version of Betterman. I personally think the live version from State College was their best performance of Betterman and it’s available on TH-cam, but audio only. And then I think it’s absolutely crucial that you react to the studio version of Yellow Ledbetter.
Been enjoying their music a lot. I have a few blocked reactions that hopefully will get posted soon. Definitely will explore more. Thanks for the recommendations.
When you watch the mother of all stage dives do yourself a favor and watch porch through to rocking in the world. A little longer of a video but it's about the best 15 minutes of live music around!
🌟YOUR AWESOME SAEED!! YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC🌟 EDDIE IS SINGING ABOUT A HOMELESS MAN EDDIE MET IN SEATTLE. EDDIE USED TO BUY HIMSELF LUNCH AND HE WOULD BUY THE HOMELESS MAN LUNCH ALSO. THE MAN ENDED DYING AND EDDIE WAS HEARTBROKEN. JUST A FUN FACT.

We got us another convert, PJ fans! When you get to see how their sound has evolved over the years, i think youll be even more hooked. Can't wait to see more!
The guitarist is Mike McCready and he is a fucking animal on guitar. One of the best guitarist that came out of the 90s
His work in Mad Season is legendary too.
Eddie Vedder’s voice is an instrument.❤
Peal Jam is one of my very favorite! So many fabulous voices, bands, and albums were born in the Seattle Grunge scene. ❤
The King of Stage Dives!!! Check out Eddie Vedder Epic Stage Dive Complation.
For me, Pearl Jam is all about storytelling. I am 49 years old man, and they first album "Ten" rock my teenage world, and still have that effect on me! PJ are very much alive, and i strongly recommend they latest "Dark Matter" album! Anyway, i love your reaction, and hello from Serbia!❤
I recorded a few reactions and i have become a fan. Looking forward to more of their music.
Thanks for watching. Greetings from Belgium.
@SaeedReacts. Welcome to the Pearl Jam rabbit hole! Do the evolution! 🤔😏
I'm with you about Dark Matter!
This is why I and millions upon millions of others are Pearl Jam fans because Eddie Vedder & his band members express their wild crazy authentic selves on stage and off stage and their Hippie Neo-60's vibe and protest songs for War, Social Injustice, poverty, & homelessness!!!! And when Eddie is tired at the end of his songs he falls out on stage and he has the confidence that his fans are going to catch if he falls!!!!
Grew up in Seattle, so blessed to have been at the apex of muscial creativty! Love your reactions Saeed 😊

Awe very sad. This also describes my brother. Both dealt bad hands in this game of life.
I'm kind of jealous, getting to discover Pearl Jam for the first time, when I was young they blew my mind and changed my world, no lie. This in my humble opinion was some of the best music ever created and performed, strap in and enjoy the ride, it's gonna be a long one. ✌❤

Only one who wasn’t really addicted to drugs 🤷♂️

Awesome you met them!
Thanks for watching.
@@SaeedReacts. If you do react to Better Man, I'd highly suggest the live version from Madison Square Garden, 2010 I think.
Eddies voice is so versatile it’s unbelievable !!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing this list. I know a few of them and have reacted to some, but most i am not yet familiar with.

I might go through this list myself as I’ve heard maybe a third of these songs. GREAT choice in Them Crooked Vultures. Really under-known and under-appreciated super group. They go HARD
This was an amazing album
At some point, jump ahead to today and watch PJ’s latest Scared of Fear or Running from their 2024 album. For 60 year olds, they still got it
He said i died and you just walked be , i died and you did nothin ,im dead…… something along those lines
Lovin this song! The entire Black album is absolutely GOAT!
"I feel cool just by looking at him"!! That's gold!! I watch a lot of reaction vids and that's one of the best lines of all time!
😄😄
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Early 90’s man what a great time for music!!! You never lived until you heard these bands!!! Nirvana,Pearl Jam, Soundgarden,Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Stp!!!
I reacted to a few of those (some are still blocked), but will do more. Love this sound.
When youngsters ask what grunge was all about I show this video. I wasn't even a PJ fan but this the epitome of all that was grunge. ❤
I love Pearl Jam from the beginning!! I saw them live in 1993 and then in 2005!! You cannot go wrong by going down the PJ rabbit hole... it's definitely worth a deep dive! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am truly enjoying their music. I have recorded some other reactions, but they are blocked at the moment. Hope that gets resolved soon
Must react to their song "Porch" live at PinkPop next. You will be amazed.
That video is recorded! 😄
Pearl Jam is a GOAT level band. Definitely one of the foundational bands of grunge rock
Heard a great interview with the guitarist, Mike McCready, who said that the main riff for this song is basically Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child” sped up and in drop D. Even the solo has that Hendrix/SRV feel. These guys nailed it with this song
“I’m just so mesmerized by Eddie Vedder.”
Girl, same
I feel privileged to have been a teen coming of age in the early 90s when this music was coming out. My first crowd surfing experience was at a PJ show in 1992 (not quite 17 at the time). I’m so glad I have those experiences to look back on.
Eddie Vedder, a force of nature! 💙
A top 3 PJ song for me. An incredibly talented group highlighted by the badass vocals of Eddie Vedder.
First heard this at work (at a Toronto multilingual TV station) after watching the Rolling Stones 3-D concert broadcast in 1990.
Remains a personal fave by the band. Ridiculous energy, legendary performances. You/I/we saw it.
"Peyote and preserves", Eddie ended an account of the origin of the band's name. Okay. 🆒️ 😎
GRUNGE MUSIC! ❤
great song, its about homelessness also about Eddie becoming friend with a homeless person that used to hang out around the studio they'd practice at, one day after a tour, Eddie went looking for that person to hang out but couldn't find him, eventually he found out the person had passed away on the streets due to the weather.
Also at the end of this video, Eddie adds some lyrics to the original ones and it goes:
"I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead."
You need to watch them perform Porch live at Pinkpop 1992. Kick. Ass.
Great band! Listened to these guys a lot in the 90’s. This album, Ten, almost every track hit home to my heart and I would cry. I was 19 when this album came out
“I’m so mesmerised by Eddie”… join the club my friend!
😄😄😄
Eddie did a solo project.....the soundtrack for the movie Into The Wild. It is a really fantastic set of tunes. Think you would like it alot
Classic ❤ Just so great
Amazing song!
Eddie Veeder 😂 love forever ❤
Let's go 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great choice. Such a great band
Awesome band!
I love me some Eddie Vedder. He's going to be 60 on December 23 and he still sounds great. I don't know how you take requests but I would highly recommend "Release" from a 2016 live performance at Wrigley Field. It's incredible. A lot of people like the same song from a performance in 1992. But I like the more recent one better. New subsciber here, but I've been watching you for a couple months.
I think what he is saying at the end is
"I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched me. I died and you walked by and said,'No, am dead.
Thanks for sharing your thought on this. Always great to hear and learn from other people's interpretation.
PJ are a great band to fall in love with and are still making great music. From this first album era, you need to check out Release (most people would say their Holland ‘92 performance) and State of Love and Trust from MTV Unplugged. But then move on to their second album and check out Go, Rearviewmirror, Daughter, and Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town.
Thanks so much for the recommendations.
I have a few reactions recorded, but all blocked at the moment. Hope it gets resolved soon
THANK YOU SAEED, AWESOME REACTION!! I LOVE PEARL JAM MY FAVORITE BAND ON THIS CRAZY PLANET!! SUGGESTION: "DO THE EVOLUTION" ORGINAL MUSIC VIDEO. BUCKLE UP VERY STRONG MESSAGE. INCREDIBLE MUSIC VIDEO! THE AWESOME VIDEO CAME OUT IN 1998. SO MANY INCREDIBLE SONGS AND LIVE PERFORMANCES!! AND LIKE COMMENTS REQUEST "PORCH" AT PINKPOP 1992, THAT WHOLE CONCERT IS AWESOME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS AWESOME VIDEO, SORRY ABOUT THE ALL CAPS I CAN'T SEE VERY WELL SO I APOLOGIZE. KEEP ON ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD 🌎 EVERYONE!! 😊💓🔥✌️🤘
You should watch "Porch" pinkpop 1992 for some more crowd surfing. It's a miracle Eddie is still alive 😂
Even on their Unplugged show, he has to act up during that song
Pearl Jam is the best band of the last 30 years. Lots of bands have 3 or 4 brilliant songs. Pearl Jam has dozens and dozens of master pieces.
You should check out Release (live from Holland). Any version of Present Tense. Any version of Corduroy.
And I strongly recommend you do a live version of Betterman. I personally think the live version from State College was their best performance of Betterman and it’s available on TH-cam, but audio only.
And then I think it’s absolutely crucial that you react to the studio version of Yellow Ledbetter.

🌟YOUR AWESOME SAEED!! YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC🌟 EDDIE IS SINGING ABOUT A HOMELESS MAN EDDIE MET IN SEATTLE. EDDIE USED TO BUY HIMSELF LUNCH AND HE WOULD BUY THE HOMELESS MAN LUNCH ALSO. THE MAN ENDED DYING AND EDDIE WAS HEARTBROKEN. JUST A FUN FACT.
Don't worry , we think your as cool as Eddie! 😂
See, if you had put the world 'almost' in there i would have almost believed you 🤣
Black .. from mtv unplugged is a must
That was my first Pearl Jam reaction. Incredible!
Tones of Home by Blind Melon
Thanks for the recommendation !
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
a song about a veteran who is homeless/ptsd sufferer
Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue called them "One of the most boring bands in history", haha Somehow, I think not!
