LOL wow - thanks for posting!! I saw them at a shoe box club at SDSU and they were the OPENING band.. I met Eddie after his set and since I was a Film student, we (Ed and I) decided to make a music video with the band!! So we were going back and forth on the phone (land lines only back then) and one day I called his apartment and his roommate told me "Oh, Eddie - he's in Seattle this week." Fast forward about a year and I'm driving down the freeway listening to 91X (San Diego's alt rock station) and this song comes on "I'm still Alive" and I said to myself "Oh wow, Bad Radio got a record deal!! And they sound so much better now!!" 😂 Eddie was the coolest and nicest, and humblest guy ever back then and remains the same today. I saw PJ for their Homeshows one year this week.. they are mind blowing! (Actually seen them 5 times now)....
Hey Kristi. You must've been about a year ahead of me at SDSU. I was in the TCF Dept. as of Aug. 1990 & saw PJ (Mookie Blaylock at the time) open for Alice in Chains at the Bacchanal a year to the day later. My buddy & I were fans of Mother Love Bone, so we were a bit ahead of the curve. That being the case we found Eddie's # in the phone book (yes, land line) with the hopes of I don't know what, but the guy that answered let us know he wasn't home. Seattle perhaps? Was the shoebox club you saw Bad Radio underneath Monty's & called the Backdoor? I remember seeing Jellyfish there.
My friend Steve and I saw them at a club called Soma in San Diego a little before this. There was hardly anyone in the audience. After the show were standing around and "this guy" comes up to us and says "HI, I'm Eddie. How'd you like the show?" Of course a few months later my friend Steve comes up to me. Hey remember that guy Eddie we saw at Soma...? Crazy.
David, i don't think anyone knew what your reference meant. I used to live next door to Ed at Shasta Lane Apartments in San Diego. Jack Irons is directly responsible for recruiting Ed to Pearl Jam. I can't tell if thats Brad Wilk on drums (Rage drummer). I was at this show.
Wow!!! This is why we TH-cam. Eddie gets cooler and cooler both forward and backward in time. absolute love for this human! I seen in an interview once that he has some "indian" in him. I'm very curious about this as I myself am A native person from here is Norther Alberta Canada. I consider Eddie to be a huge part of history for the entire world and if he is part native....well that would just make me so happy!! whatever he is he my favorite artist of all time and Ill never forget the day my heart first heard him. #release
This is a lot of fun, great funky-jam band. The kind of stuff you still find in some local dive bar jam night. The whole band has a great energy, the energy is what makes it so amazing. As a musician I absolutely love and appreciate it, so raw, and loose and free, as music should be. If you want perfect to buy an expensive studio album, if you want raw greatness as music is meant to be, you go to a small club like this and see a live band, warts and all as they say. All great bands "suck live" according to non musicians, but a fellow musician and true music lover lives for that raw passion, the fuck ups, the forgotten words, the rushed timing, it is pure energy, and this is amazing.
At one of Pearl Jam's shows I was at in San Diego... maybe it was 2008 As a guest in the audience Ed had his boss from the gas station he worked at during this time. He was saying how the boss was nice enough to let Ed shave the side of his head.
Thank you for sharing this!! Funny how there are only about 20 people watching. Kind of surprised by Eddie Vedder's energy after seeing PJ20 and how he came off all shy at first; NOT HERE! The entire band sounded great...just another reason why I miss the 90s!
Have a bootleg of these songs for over two decades. Just started playng it agian in my car and came up with the bright idea to do a search on YT. Thanx very much for posting this footage!
It became contrived and formulaic like a pre-fabricated political vehicle. Eddie probably has a handler who recruited him. All I know is that my friend, who was in Bad Radio, said Eddie is a sociopathic narcissist.
27.07, just putting this here for me next time. Such great earworm for me. Don't even know where I'd heard it in the past but LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Stays in my head for days after. Believe you me, I DO BELIEVE this singer will do great things!
Don't be surprised by the Red Hot Chili Peppers sounding influence here. Around this time (1989-1990) the most popular & successful bands in the "Alternative music" scene were the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Janes Addiction, The Pixies, Sonic Youth & Faith No More. Then 1991 happened.
I clearly remember sitting on the edge of Eddie’s bed at his mom’s apartment in Carlsbad as he was telling us about meeting the chilli peppers and Jane’s addiction in Hollywood. Still blows my mind to think about it 35 years later. I was 16 and a student at San Dieguito.

Eddie has the" it factor" and will soon reinvent as "Pearl Jam". In his own words "just a matter of time". Fierce vocals and an ancient chant, the much slicker than Van Halen high jump. Mookie Blaylock star power. You've got to love that energy and enthusiasm Eddie radiates.
Have never heard of Bad Radio, The band was pretty good, the drummer is fantastic, and who is that amazing Vocalist..LOL, Eddie was Eddie from the very start, and definite PJ vibes on some of these songs.
Little did he know only 8 months later his ENTIRE life would change. Almost exactly 8 months later to the day of this show was Pearl Jam's (Mookie Blaylock) first show. It must have been weird for his band mates in Bad Radio to see their friend and singer leave and go to Seattle and then just months after that see him all over MTV and the radio.
@@dragmio there's a rough studio version around on the internet. I can send it to you by email if you can't find it. Bad Radio - Homeless. I suggest looking on soulseek. Btw thanks for replying, i forgot how much I liked bad radio. Nice to take a break from PJ
This is absolutely incredible footage. It would be like seeing robert plant as an absolute nobody playing at a club in 1968 6 months before meeting jimmy page.
I like "what" .... really could hear what Eddie does best which is take his vocals too the next level above and beyond .... he was ready obviously too walk through thar door too immortality ....
Agreed ! Love that song from the first time i heard it. Always hoped it made its way to PJ catalog along with Crossroads like Betterman, but anyway.....Happy to see other than me loving it. Cheers.
Eddie is beautiful talented and passionate man, even back when, this is his passion and his dream and it came true and yes under tragedy circumstances. RIP Andrew Wood but don't hate him for it!! 💓🤘✌️ Got to give to Eddie he wanted to be a rock star and he be came one, the best!!! 😊
So much RHCP influence here haha, quite embarrassing, but majority musicians have been in a crap band or two, thank God Jack Irons gave Eddie that demo tape
Jesus, Eddie got out from that hell on time! That guitar ripped my ears off! If they had some technical difficulties, ok. But, if the guy is like that regularly - he sucks! And he was too loud. The taper is saying something like: "This is wasting of tape", and he was right.
The drummer can probably hear the amp, and having extra in his monitor is probably throwing him off. What we here on stage is greatly different than what you hear in the audience. So it isn't an insult to the bassist, just that there is too much on the monitor, when he is likely getti g enough from the amps.
Anyone know anything about the baseball jersey? Ed’s obviously a huge fan. Is it Minneapolis Millers? Who was #6? They had some famous players (ted Williams, yaz, Mays) but none wore 6.
he never used that name, as a kid he was Edward Mueller and then when his step father and his mother divorced in his teens he changed it to Edward Vedder (mother's maiden name). He's in his 20s here so would've been Eddie Vedder.
This world was the best. I wish I was around to have seen it😭 bad radio should be on all streaming platforms they are awesome

Cool story, Bad Radio could reunite again to revival the era.

i'll just rando thumbs down you for hanging out with eddie vedder,..lol
Opening for whose band?
A year and a half later and he changed the world...
Pearl Jam (Mookie) played their first show 8 months later. Hard to believe.
You wrote exactly what I was thinking!
They!
My friend Steve and I saw them at a club called Soma in San Diego a little before this. There was hardly anyone in the audience.

Thank God for Jack Irons

@@jaketaylor4246 definitely not Brad playing the drums
Amen
This needs an official release, because this is badass
There he is with his beautiful face, awesome hair, and energy that we have come to love...Thanks!
This was Ed's last time performing with Bad Radio.
Wow!!! This is why we TH-cam. Eddie gets cooler and cooler both forward and backward in time. absolute love for this human! I seen in an interview once that he has some "indian" in him.

I do know for sure that Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers) is part native.
@@wspek I doubt it. He has a tattoo of sitting bull on his arm but he don't live the indigenous ways lol

No Indian.

He was way ahead of his time with that look lol
Just Imagine.. at this very moment, Mother Love Bone was still together!!
Only for 36 more days
@@evanisovich sadly as much as I love Pearl Jam I wish Andy never died and MLB would’ve made it as well as Eddie just with other people
@@josecano9210 regardless is Andy lived or not. Eddie would have found his niche. And still would have rocked our asses off. He was destined to rock!
@@user-eq9qv4qw6m Rekon that's what he said mate, 🍻 cheers
I went to this concert with his mom, brother,and girlfriend when I was 16. Remember it like yesterday. Eddie was my best friend’s older half-brother.
I love how Eddie keeps harassing the audience to get into it. XD
So good...you can see the seeds of greatness
This is great stuff, amazing sound quality for 28 years ago.
More like 34 years.
Ok Ed looks so sexy with his hair like this 😂💓🔥

You're welcome!!!

Believe you me is such a great song.
I love it... such a great time in Rock and Roll...
This video is priceless!!! ♥️🤗
Nelson Mandela was released from prison on the day of this show.
It was he? Lol
People like you are exhausting
Who cares?
Fun fact: apparentely on 2/10/1991 Eddie played in the same club with Mookie Blaylock (opening for Alice In Chains). Cheers from Italy🇮🇹
I can't believe the growth in Eddie in such a short time. This video really shows how essential every member of Pearl Jam is!!
It became contrived and formulaic like a pre-fabricated political vehicle. Eddie probably has a handler who recruited him. All I know is that my friend, who was in Bad Radio, said Eddie is a sociopathic narcissist.
I wish he would record Homeless with PJ. Such a great tune and he could donate it all to the Seattle homeless cause.
Really nice stuff here...💖Crossroads💖Homeless💖Believe You Me💖
27.07, just putting this here for me next time. Such great earworm for me. Don't even know where I'd heard it in the past but LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Stays in my head for days after. Believe you me, I DO BELIEVE this singer will do great things!

...hey it looks like that lead singer guy from that band pearl jam...
No I think that's his younger brother, or maybe his cousin.
eddie has a anthony-keidis-like stage presence here
Noah Woodworth all the chick look at hem
Yes, in fact... He was completely ripping him off!
I was thinking the same exact thing
Lol it’s weird you said that. Exactly what I thought
Because this band is a RHCP rip off
Eddie has the" it factor" and will soon reinvent as "Pearl Jam". In his own words "just a matter of time". Fierce vocals and an ancient chant, the much slicker than Van Halen high jump. Mookie Blaylock star power. You've got to love that energy and enthusiasm Eddie radiates.
Like when I was my daughters age repeatedly replaying Stone in Love, I do Believe I can't stop restating this at 27 min. 😆 the rest is GREAT TOO.
BADASS RADIO! Ed was always destined for greatness.
Have never heard of Bad Radio, The band was pretty good, the drummer is fantastic, and who is that amazing Vocalist..LOL, Eddie was Eddie from the very start, and definite PJ vibes on some of these songs.
This is amazing!!! Haha... Thank you for posting!!!
That picture of Townshend is still up at Pearl Jam's HQ! You can see it in the recent Stern videos.
HAHA loving the duct tape "X" on the pants...that's awesome 💋

He should have taken this guitarist with him. Sorry, Mike...

And the dumb@ss troll award goes to... 😆 wow
Not you Sho
@@dragmio lmao
Is this a bad way of trolling?
Mike is bad?
How?
22:33 is like their "Even Flow" and such an amazing song. Just wanted you to know....
Wow, the song is fantastic and it would have a place on ANY Pearl Jam record.

Such a pretty voice when he isnt yelling lmfao. Glad he unlocked his full potential with PJ
Not big on the band as whole, but it's clear Eddie was a living legend already, just few knew it yet.
This is absolutely incredible footage. It would be like seeing robert plant as an absolute nobody playing at a club in 1968 6 months before meeting jimmy page.
this is so groovy
This was actually pretty cool
thank you, never even heard of vedder and this band !!
Cheers! ✌
I like "what" .... really could hear what Eddie does best which is take his vocals too the next level above and beyond .... he was ready obviously too walk through thar door too immortality ....
Back again, thanks for posting man
The Evolution of Eddie Vedder is amazing through the years!! 😊🩷🔥🤘✌️
Eddie Vedder en sus inicios, genial con esta banda de FUNK ROCK, YEAHH, LO MAXIMO.....
Ha, the Bacchanal --- saw the Ramones there in '86 while stationed at Camp Pendleton
Eddie must've done the picture of Pete Townshend. I've seen it in some PJ footage, along with one of what looks like John Waters.
I wonder about that artwork as well. Wish there was a better shot of all of them in this.
Thank you!
The 4th song Just A Book is fuckin amazing.
And Believe You Me (around 27 min) is even better!
Agreed ! Love that song from the first time i heard it. Always hoped it made its way to PJ catalog along with Crossroads like Betterman, but anyway.....Happy to see other than me loving it. Cheers.
All the guitarist leads and parts sound the same...lol.. Base and drumer are very good... Eddy was amazing already...
This was the first band that Eddie fronted before he started Pearl Jam.
long before become a prince of grunge
was their album ever released? 'Homeless' and 'Believe You Me" are Eddie's but the rest are unheard of. :)
My dorky lil bb 🥰 still hella talented
This band is what RHCP would be like if they actually had a good singer.
Eddie is beautiful talented and passionate man, even back when, this is his passion and his dream and it came true and yes under tragedy circumstances. RIP Andrew Wood but don't hate him for it!! 💓🤘✌️ Got to give to Eddie he wanted to be a rock star and he be came one, the best!!! 😊
Hi Laura. This is AWESOME!

For eff's sake with the goddamn commercials in the middle of every song!!!

So much RHCP influence here haha, quite embarrassing, but majority musicians have been in a crap band or two, thank God Jack Irons gave Eddie that demo tape
why is.that embarrassing
gabe Rishworth I know right?

Jesus, Eddie got out from that hell on time!
That guitar ripped my ears off! If they had some technical difficulties, ok. But, if the guy is like that regularly - he sucks! And he was too loud. The taper is saying something like: "This is wasting of tape", and he was right.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's pretty apparent Ed had something special already and this was before he even had his big writing and performance breakthrough.
I wonder what it would sound if stone was playing his ten distorted guitar there
they sound like Scream mixed with The Cult
He reminds me of the Cult very much here.
I dig that undercut
Every band in late 80 and early 90 wanted sound like RHCP's mother milk?
@ living colour
@12.20- ooohh my goodness!!! Incredible smile. 😁
Anyone else hear a hint of even flow in crossroads?
Just hints but they stick out big time.
Ha! Eddie was in a rhcp wanna be band...amazing...what a voice though geez...
am i really the first one to notice this? in Crossroads, at 10:33 10:40 11:17 i hear eddie vedder sing "momma-son"
Wowsa
"Ah. Can I get a little less bass in the drum monitor, or like not at all." What a slap in the face. Who was the bassist?
They were all bullying the bassist. And some say Eddie is not a patriot.
eNeNe 😂
The drummer can probably hear the amp, and having extra in his monitor is probably throwing him off. What we here on stage is greatly different than what you hear in the audience. So it isn't an insult to the bassist, just that there is too much on the monitor, when he is likely getti g enough from the amps.
Description says February 11st
5:52 Ed pissed that people are sitting down
The first song is a RHCP spoof. The rest is great!
Who would have ever known that the answer to the trivia question of who Eddie Vedder's first guitarist was is "Howard Stern"?
Incredible! ❤️☺️

Ha! Owdovvit! Pretty much the WMA drumming......
uma relíquia irmao
Se é em ✌
I'd say Phil Anselmo could've been an influence on him
Anyone know anything about the baseball jersey? Ed’s obviously a huge fan. Is it Minneapolis Millers? Who was #6? They had some famous players (ted Williams, yaz, Mays) but none wore 6.
I was a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan at this time and can see Ed was too!
Was he still Edward Severson III? 😂
He wasn't Javier Hernandez Concha, that's for damn sure.
Let's ask Uncle Neil. After all he wrote "Cortez the Killer".
he never used that name, as a kid he was Edward Mueller and then when his step father and his mother divorced in his teens he changed it to Edward Vedder (mother's maiden name). He's in his 20s here so would've been Eddie Vedder.
