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.

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

Simply incredible! Glad you got to be a part of history.

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 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.

Although this kicks ass, the rest of the band had a strong point. "If he falls and dies, all of this Pearl Jam, gone, thats it" Its like grunge was fated to all die. Vedder cheated it.

I remember an interview from other PJ members some years ago where they spoke about Eddie's climb. Someone said "The very first time I saw him climbing I could only think: We just took off and we might be loosing him due to a fall and all goes down the drain... "

I like how there's a whole stage diving guitar riff they play every time he pulls his shenanigans.

This guy had some core strength by the end of this tour, holy shit!

I’m kind of obsessed with watching a Eddie climb, and to think there’s so many climbs and dives that weren’t caught on film.

The athleticism it took to do this shit is amazingly impressive... I don't know that pro athletes could climb up structures the way he did! Here's another thing, rappers are trying to do this now at their shows but they don't know how to land right and people are getting really badly injured at those shows.

Rappers aren't crazy everything is a gimmick the last people who were criminals who rapped themselves in into fame were 50 Cent & Nas 25 years ago everyone been fake since then

The entire world is this man's playground.

Eddie must have been the king of the monke bars as a child. 😊

During a Pearl jam show in the UK in 2016 i remember Eddie went to climb the side, got a bit of the way up, looked up and with a clear nod said "actually, no.." and came back down. I don't know if he was told not to do it or if he saw something unsafe and declined. Either way theres lots of pros and cons, okay i didnt get to see him climb but it was still an honour to be at the show he probably technically (or not) did his last climb, maybe..

Probably felt a bit unfit and decided to tap out 😂, he's getting on in age lol

I was lucky enough to be at the Newcastle show featured in this video and even caught Eddie when he dived. I'll never forget there was about a dozen people waiting outside the venue and this small, scruffy looking guy comes out to talk to us all personally. We all though he must have been a roadie due to his accent. It wasn't until the band came out, we realized it was Eddie himself that came out to greet us.

I heard Eddie tell an interviewer early on in his career that he was 6'2" then. I wouldn't call that a small guy

@@tamarahorn1506 Eddie is tiny - like a little cat with a big voice climbing all over things.

Vedder = GOAT

The man’s a great athlete...I’m sure that his surfing had his muscles all toned up...And his playing basketball when ever he could kept his beautiful body in shape!

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

Pound for pound the strongest human being I've ever seen in my life. Pretty good singer too.

Lmaooo his "eEuAuUgH I caN sEe yoU aLL " at 10:49 always kills me 🤣🤣

As a teen in the 90’s Eddie was my biggest crush. 42yo and still a Pearl Jam fan. Glad hes one of the few still alive.

Not only did Eddie drop the mic he climbed down damn the cord. Classic!

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

14:37 Zagreb, Germany! A dream of every Croatian!🤣

i caught that too --- odjebe !

Saw Eddie Vedder do this at a concert at the Aloha Tower in Honolulu back around 91 or 92. Freaked everybody out when he started climbing scaffolding like it was nothing.

His upper body and core strength is insane

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

Sounds painful

It was like he had a death wish in them days best band with the best rock performer still to this day. Legend 🎤

When you bring the element of danger in a show it becomes more emotional for the fans, its a life or death situation with somebody you love doing it. And the fact they're willing to do that for you strengthing the bond between artist and fan...that's why they have a cult following.20 years from now they still sell out any venue,

GodDAMN! Pearl Jam are fucking great live! I’ve seen them seven times since the early nineties. Seeing this now fills me with the same excitement I felt watching him then. What has happened to modern music?!

David Lee Roth was probably the first rock singer to do stageclimbing in the '80s but Eddie Vedder took it to another level !

One of the GOAT bands with one of the best front man and vocalist ever. Then he starts climbing and jumping off . Crazy epic.

I bet his record label loved seeing all that potential money swinging by a single microphone cable. Crazy! I remember going to a concert by the Nixons in the mid 90s. The lead singer (Zac Maloy) climbed up a huge stack of speakers. He was probably 30 feet up when the whole stack started swaying. If he stayed on, the stack would have fell, so he bailed and landed in the crowd. Amazingly enough, they caught him! It was pavement below, so he thanked them for saving his life and kept going with the show. Amazing...

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

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

Eddie is amazing! Love him! ❤️

He was defiantly one of those kids that hogged the jungle gym set on the playground

As a huge Metallica fan learning all their songs on guitar in the very early 90's I can't tell how much Pearl Jam Ten just possessed me. I would put the tape in my yellow Sony water proof Walkman and listen to it nonstop. Seriously, over and over again. They blew me away in a way I wasn't used to at all. It wasn't metal, it wasn't blues, it was the best of both worlds. And Eddie was a maniac.

Holy shit...he said it was a spot in Del Mar, WITH Nirvana and RHCP. What an amazing lineup!

He did one sometime in Austin at the city coliseum when they opened up for smashing pumpkins and the chili peps. I became a life long fan that day!

I'm re-discovering Pearl Jam these days. My four year old boy is mesmeriezd by the Even Flow video. I am as well. The editing is really nice, but yeah it's all about Eddie going full ape!

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

I was at Drop in the Park in '92 in Seattle. I was one of the kids that caught him when he stage dove. Great time. Cyprus Hill opened by throwing bags of weed into the crowd! It was the first of three Pearl Jam concerts I saw. I didn't know until now that he climbed at more than just my show. What a beast.

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.
