    I am Eddie's age and grew up going to see a lot of the same bands he did so I can understand some of where the stagediving influences come from. Yet, to this day, I have never see another singer sing from scaffolding and then rappel down using microphone wire. All hail Eddie. Thank God he survived it.

    I respect Vedder for being a true friend to the Chili Peppers. Anthony Kiedis promised the Dalai Lama to do the Free Tibet concert but they lost their time slot due to some scheduling error. This crushed Kiedis but Vedder told the promoters to split Pearl Jam's time with RHCP or else he'd drop out. They relented and Kiedis was able to keep his word. That's being a true friend

    One missed is from The Edge in 1992 in Orlando, FL. Eddie climbed up to the rafters and the venue's security guards didn't realize that it was Eddie and went out onto the rafters and grabbed him in a headlock to bring him back in. The guards were holding on to him and both he and the crowd were trying to tell the security guards who he was, but they didn't listen and continued to struggle with him. Finally, the band stopped and Dave came out from behind the drumset and all of the band members just stood there watching all of this. Finally with the music stopped and one of the guitarists speaking into the microphone about who he was, the guards finally relented and let him go. The band went back to playing and Eddie dropped down to the crowd below, who promptly cowd-surfed him to the front of the stage. Crazy thing to see.

I’ve seen countless pictures of Eddie climbing that I just cannot find video for. I think they should release all the old footage of their early show’s, they were all taped.

    I had a friend in college who used to climb all kinds of buildings and stuff when we were out partying. Always drove me crazy. He was a rock climber, so he had skills, but he was usually drunk. Then one day he fell almost 40ft. He was trying to get from a column to the roof of a 3 story building and slipped. Luckily he was able to aim for a big bush and only broke his arm besides being all scraped up. If he had hit the concrete steps that were a few feet away that would have been it for sure. When I saw him slip I realized the saying "my heart stopped" was really a thing. There were probably ten of us there watching and we all thought he was going to die. He was laughing as we helped him out of the bush. All the girls were crying.

    This video is awesome! However I don’t see footage from when Pearl Jam opened up for The Smashing Pumpkins and the Chili Peppers @ Memorial Auditorium (a high school gym) in Burlington Vermont, fall of 92. EV did a huge speaker dive after crawling through the rafters. Never seen anything like that before or since. Legendary stuff. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Have told friends about it, now they can see what I was talking about.

    Vedder doing those climbs was epic in rock n roll history. Soemthing very Jim Morrisonesque
    He had big balls. That was life or death

    Hats off to the boys for still playing whilst their singer and brother went off like that👌

    I saw him do this at Lollapalooza, Molson Park in Barrie, Ontario, July 18, 1992.

    I'm in the crowd right near where he lands at the Lollapalooza concert in Miami. His dive at the 10:11 mark. Doesn't look that high in the video, but he was way up there! He was definitely nuts back then! it was hot as hell at that show too. Miami in the middle of summer! Whew!

    Stone and Mike are think at the 3:00 mark, "Darn it, this dude dies, we won't find another singer that good".

    Saw the tour Vitalogy 1st time they came to Australia. Epic show, can't recall if he climbed though 🤔. I think his surfing background might have given him what he needed for these climbs. Definitely a strong core.
    Side note, I was at a tribute band show, The Doors Experience or something, and some dude tripping balls decided to climb the rigging. He got to the top, about 5 metres, maybe a little more, and jumped. He got caught up in the cables, and the stage lights frame came down as 1,and stopped about a metre or so above the crowd. The only thing that stopped it crashing onto everyone was that the frame got tangled in the cables too. So close to many casualties. Will never forget that night.

    The one I saw wasn’t in this video, it was the 2nd Lollapalooza, summer of 1992 in Chicago. He climbed way way way high, we seriously thought we might watch him die. It’s great to see these videos because through the years I’ve told people about it and they think I’m exaggerating when I describe how insanely high it was

    Imagine being in the crowd watching Eddie be all cool climbing n swinging then all of a sudden he lands in your arms.

    I’d love to hear the reaction from security and owners of the venue... and the rest of his band after the show. It’s amazing, but friggin scary as hell to watch.
