Grunge is growing on me. Pearl Jam Vocal ANALYSIS of 'Even Flow', and Eddie Vedder is my new fav!

I'll admit, the first time I heard grunge I just didn't get it. I hadn't connected the tortured emotional drive throughout the vocals until my second or third attempt. However, upon hearing Eddie Vedder's vocals for the first time in Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike" then again in Pearl Jam, I knew my mind was starting to change!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Pearl Jam performing "Even Flow" for the first time.

The fact we got AIC, Pearl jam, Nirvana, STP, Soundgarden at the same time is a once in a lifetime thing..

It's funny that you mention the safety of the audience; Eddie Vedder is one of the nicest guys in rock. He will stop concerts to make sure people in the audience are okay. One concert that I was at, he stopped to have security come and take out a guy that was groping a young girl, and then he lectured us that we need to be better in looking out for others. Love this guy so much!

Ed was the singer that an older generations of musicians appreciated. He was invited to sing at Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary in 92. He was asked by the Doors to sing Jim Morrison's parts when they were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 93. Pete Townshend (The Who) called him in 93 and wanted to meet him. He inducted Neil Young into Hall of Fame in 95 and performed "F***in' Up" with him (along with all of Pearl Jam). He was on hand for The Ramones last concert to sing the last song in 96. The list goes on...
IMHO he seems to enjoy finding new ways to use his voice to make music (physically and metaphorically)

I am 70 years old. This is the first time in my life I have purposly listned to Perl Jam. Clearly this is a great band. Looks like I have some catching up to do, lucky me!

On the lighting, Josh was the video director, and Eddie Vedder is telling him to turn off all the lights that were added to film the video. He wanted it dark, like a "f*cking rock concert!". This song is about a homeless man that Ed befriended in downtown Seattle near where Pearl Jam used to rehearse. Not many bands would have highlighted the challenges of the homeless like this.

You NEVER have to apologize for loving Eddie Vedder! They are still touring and sounding awesome!

[DaveWeston]

My son met him at the Teenage Cancer Trust concert at the Royal Albert Hall last weekend. He gave Eddie Vedder an award for all he's done for the charity over the years and shook his hand. Alongside the rest of his group they were onstage at the finale with Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant and Kelly Jones. All the artists thanked the teenagers for coming and being part of the concert.

As a teenager headbanging to these at various rock nights I never expected my future son would meet them.

So many Grunge bands had iconic singers with just amazing voices, it's almost uncanny. Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots. It's pretty bonkers how one genre produced so many vocalists who could give you goosebumps.

[fgrillo]

Eddie is the undisputed champion of stage dives. It's well documented. Porch Live from Pinkpop is probably the most epic. I've been to many concerts where he will stop the show to help people who went down in the pit or were having medical problems. They'll pick up the song exactly where they stopped. I've seen them 27 times. It's always a fantastic show with a different setlist from the night before. Amazing band with a DEEP catalog.

Imagine you're in your 20s & after years of Winger, Poison & Ratt, suddenly you get Ten, Bad Motorfinger & Nevermind all at the same time

[johnmccully]

The amount of hair on that stage is staggering.

[SuzakuX]

"Oh, someday yet, he'll begin his life again" is such a heartbreaking lyric to me. Just perfectly encapsulates the hopelessness and uncertainty of poverty.

[garylagstrom]

Three way tie-Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, and Layne Staley. I love all three for different reasons: Eddie for the foundation of both falsetto and grit! Chris for his absolutely skyrocketing range: Jesus Christ Pose and Hunger Strike as examples. Layne Staley for low, mid, and unbelievable range of high notes and his ability to sustain those screams and growls: think: Love Hate Love Moore Theater version JUNKHEAD Chorus, and Man in the Box for pure raw vocals! Love them all! RIP CHRIS AND LAYNE!

[Cadinho]

That jump/fall Eddie Vedder did, into the crowd, was TAME compared to what he had done at many other concerts! You should watch "Porch" live at Pinkpop, 1992! There's also a compilation video of a lot of the crazy, death-defying things Eddie Vedder did on their first couple tours. At some point, the band asked him to chill the acrobatics out because they didn't want him to get hurt!

Also, Eddie Vedder showing some amazing breath control here… flailing around like a man on fire, but then sounding almost exactly like the album vocals. Pretty impressive.

[gumborambo]

Her face was all of our faces when we heard Even Flow for the first time.

[vdrolsk]

Eddie, Chris Cornell, Kurdt Cobain, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland, Mark Lanegan (missing some, i know). We were so blessed to have all these lead singers in the "grunge" era at the same time. All were incredible vocalists and all were unique. What a fun time!

[michaelscott]

The lyrical and anger Eddie had when younger was amazing. The power he could deliver was insane. Over the years he seems to have lessened the anger but the sound is still the same. Long live Pearl Jam!!!

[joshg]

What gets me with Pearl Jam is the depth of their catalog. It's not just these big hits... it's that you go deeper and deeper in their catalog, and it's still so good. Things don't drop off. The lack of enunciation is on Yellow Ledbetter, but it is intentional. That song is meant to be meditative, and it can mean different things to different people. It's about the feel, not the words. I tend to focus a lot on content in lyrics, but that song is an exception.

[orbital]

It’s so rewarding to see/hear a professional vocal coach nerd out on one of your favorite singers. The validation is so rewarding! Thank you Elizabeth

[rachelwhite]

Eddie. Ten was an album that you put on listened to the whole thing and replayed, not one bad song and Eddie's voice just carried you ❤
