I've seen several comments about this, so I'll reiterate it ~ Jeremy should be next, and it should be the official unedited version. But if you cried at this song...bring your tissue box. It's an incredibly important song, the story's impact is best felt through the official video. "Porch" live at pinkpop festival is next on the list after Jeremy.

I was born in Tacoma Wa a little south of Seattle in 1980 and left to Texas when I was 10 years old. Something I remember as a kid was in elementary school, the curriculum was teaching us music theory in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. They really push the arts in school in that area at least when I was there. They had none of that in Texas until middle school. Needless to say I was drawn to music early in life because of this and became a musician. This could have been why such musical talent came from that area at the time.

Loved your reaction. The thing about Eddie Vedder is that he can’t sing any song without putting his entire being into it. He gives 100% every time. His lyrics are poetry, and while his voice has deepened, and he doesn’t hit the high notes as much anymore, it’s still beautiful 30 years later. Pearl Jam is a deep rabbit hole worth diving into, as is Eddie’s solo work. I simply adore his voice. If you react to his work, I’ll be listening. Subscribed.

I subscribed just because of your emotional reaction to Eddie's tremendous performance. I'm so glad you felt the same emotion that I and plenty of others feel/felt when watching this wonderful rendition of Black.

Besides the heavily emotional delivery Eddie pulled off for this performance, the other thing I truly admire is how he just went for it, in that acoustic setting. It was a very small crowd, but also intimate, and as a vocalist you have to push thru and give it everything. And Eddie absolutely did.

He was surely somewhere else when he performed this song. One of my favorite live performance that I have ever seen. Simply beautiful

love watching ppl react to this song. It's a banger :D good job!

He had alot of drama with his wife back then. He's a great singer, especially live. I saw Pearl Jam live before I saw Alice in Chains ⛓️ live, THEY BOTH ARE UP THERE WITH BEST LIVE BANDS I'VE EVER SEEN

Top 5 Unplugged performances ever. Imagine being so talented you can take a deep pain you experienced and turn it into a beautiful gift for the world.

Oh my god, this is such a powerful performance. I've seen it 100 times and every time feels like the 1st time. Chokes me up, chills, just blows me away with passion he sings, like he's singing YOUR story. He's a treasure.

I still remember when their album came out which while I was in high school. My friend had just got dumped by his gf so he wanted to listen to this song; poor guy looked completely defeated and destroyed. Since then though he found great girl, married and with kids. And if I recall, Eddie had a head cold or flu when unplugged was recorded. But he still puts that raw emotion, face gestures as he sings.

I let all of my emotions flow through this song when my ex sent me on my way this past February. As beautiful of a song that it is, it's a knife that still pierces what's left of my heart.

Very, *very* few have managed to watch that performance and not be moved deeply. It's truly amazing how Eddie can practically wail out his pain and heartbreak and at the same time sing so damn *well*.

Everyone falls in love with Eddy's voice and his passion . I can see it in your eyes. I'm 65 and still listening to rock, grunge and all the music I grew up with, it's the best...

I'm from Seattle and lived through the entire "grunge era." Eddie was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet, he'd talk to you about anything but just don't fan on him as he'd walk away from you. This particular song was very personal to him and he did not like talking about it, or listening to others do so. All I can really say is that it was a great time to live in Seattle and I miss it very much.

This is the 'Someone Like You' for the grunge era. It encapsulates that world-changing heartbreak of losing someone you love and torturing yourself imagining how happy they'll be with others. I think most people have been in that position - if you haven't, you're very lucky and I hope it remains that way

Sadly this live version was shortened but for full lyrics: Hey, oh Sheets of empty canvas Untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me As her body once did All five horizons Revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed Has taken a turn Oh and all I taught her was everything Oh I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands Chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything Oh the pictures have All been washed in black Tattooed everything I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by Some kids at play I can feel their laughter So why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin Round my head I'm spinning Oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands Cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have All been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad Turned my world to black Tattooed all I see All that I am All that I'll be, yeah Uh huh, uh huh, oh I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky But why Why Why can't it be Oh can't it be mine

One of, if not the best, songs about a love lost and his performance here is perfection.

It’s hard to believe he was actually sick when he did this it’s up there with the Alice In Chains unplugged absolutely raw and beautiful

I'm so glad you reacted to this masterpiece of a song. I love how deep she engages herself within the music and this song just takes you to a place you didn't know you were gonna go. This song has incredible meaning to me personally because it describes my relationship with my high school sweetheart and the incredible heartbreak of a journey we went through with each other and something I would never forget and although I want her to be happy I always wondered why we went through what we went through. But regardless this song is simply one of the most beautiful songs of all time and hits every emotion very deeply especially with the way he sings with so much pain and passion. Awesome reaction and an appropriate one too.

I agree with you. That was not a song. That was something from another world. Tears in my eyes as well.

Oh girl, you're gonna love your Pearl Jam journey. 'Release', 'Indifference', 'Just Breathe', 'Elderly woman behind the counter' will all melt your soul. So much great music in their catalog.

"Black" is simply a stunning heartbreak of a song, beautiful no matter what version of it you watch (personal favourite is the live version from Pink Pop in '92). Not a bad song on the 1st album "Ten", from "Jeremy" (the official full video) and "Porch" (Again, the live at Pink Pop '92 version is fun) to "Garden", "Even Flow" and "Release" - i'd also recommend checking out stuff like "Wash", "State of Love and Trust", "Breath", "Indifference", "Rearviewmirror" from around the period of the 1st and 2nd albums (and from the 2nd) - there's a lot of later stuff that's awesome as well, and a great band to see live :) You've opened a massive rabbithole into several bands, not just Pearl Jam...

This song still hits me like a truck. I’m so glad you experienced this song, music is most profound when the artist brings you into their world may that be joy, anger, sadness, heartbreak. Beauty in a time piece.

The most beautiful lyric in a song, "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody's else's sky, but why, why can it be mine?" This hurts my heart because it hits close to home.

This to me is one of Pearl Jam's strongest songs. My dad loved grunge a lot, especially Pearl Jam. Eddie indeed has a gifted voice and he indeed puts his heart and soul into the song and to me, that is what it is all about. "Black" is one of my top favorites.

still one of my favorite songs of all time, and one of the best performances ever! Honesty!

Me and my best friend from school alway say how much we love this tune and how emotional it is and Eddie absolutely kills it in this! Tears in my eyes every time!! Everyone enjoys this amazing tune ❤

I love her, her smile and brains combo is soooo rare

i think nirvana’s unplugged performance was great as well, “the man who sold the world” and “where did you sleep last night” are some gems, you should check them out

I recommend pretty much everything on their first 3 albums and a whole lot more after that. I mean they're my favorite band so I like almost all their stuff. But to name a few. From their first album, Ten: Deep, Porch, Release, and Garden, plus all the stuff that was on the radio like Even Flow, Alive, Jeremy, Once. Also from around this time but not on the album is a really great song called Yellow Ledbetter. From their second album, Vs: Dissident, Indifference, W.M.A. and all their singles, Go, Animal, Daughter, Rearview Mirror, and Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town. On their 3rd album, Vitalogy: Tremor Christ, Last Exit, Spin the Black circle and their singles Corduroy, Immortality, Not For you, and Better Man. Well that should keep you busy for a minute. Anyway that's their first 3 albums. After that they had less hits but there are still plenty more great songs to come. They have like 8 more studio albums after these.

I am watching your reaction to black for 100th time. And l am just noticing your eyes sing...very beautiful. I really enjoy your reactions!

A masterpiece froze in time on video. This performance tears me up. Eddie a soul brother surfer from San Diego county.

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the sun, in somebody else's skies, why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine." That part at the end of the song is one of my top 5 of written lyrics in any song I've heard, ever. So beautiful and poetic. Full of pain, heartache and love at the same time. Love this song.

I thought it was "I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky".

​@@johnnydopeflow9965 you're right

So happy you reacted to this one. The studio recording sounds almost similar to this. 90s bands almost sounded similar to the actual studio recording. It's rare nowadays. Eddie Vedder will always be one of the kings of grunge. His voice is soulfully amazing. So much emotion and grit!!

This song, I've been listening for like more than 10 years, and I even could cry along with it. it's so, what can I say.

Aileen, I am 55 years old. I would gladly hold your hand and cry together listening to your music choices. Great job!

Iconic band, song and performance. Some were in camp Nirvana-claiming Kurt was the "voice of our generation". Eddie was my voice; one of the most iconic voices in music.

Please watch the whole set. It is one of the best live performances.

Your eyebrows speak as much if not more than your voice. It’s fucking amazing. Love your reactions 😊

everytime i hear “ i know youll be a star in somebody elses sky, but whyy” i go fucking hollow

IIRC Eddie Vedder was sick with a chest cold during this concert and still managed to knock it out of the park. You can tell in a few spots he's struggling, but manages to pull through.

That extra bit of raspiness in his voice because of being sick is so golden.

MTV unplugged was perfect for grunge music. You can really hear the emotion that grunge music was based on. Any Pearl Jam song from their unplugged is a good listen. Also Alice n Chains, and Nirvana.

Down in a Hole just hits differently unplugged…. It’s incredible.

It’s so wonderful to see new people discovering the great music of the 90’s. Pearl Jam live are such a treat. There are hundreds of bootlegs of their live shows (and other 90’s bands) here on KZread from their very first performance in Oct. 1990, up to the concert tour they are doing right now. It’s one of my favorite rabbit holes to fall into for sure.

70's, 80's, 90's is where the greatest songs created...This song is also still on my playlist till now. 👍👍

💔 Such a powerful song. Love this performance. MTV 7nplugged was so good.

Been waiting for you to discover this performance! Love your channel and reactions. Keep it up queen!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you, Aileen. How lovely to watch something where someone listens and feels.

Eddie is my favorite vocalist, hes not insane with his range or anything but its the little details, the fast vinrato, the voice breaks, the sheer grit, he conveys emotion so well. Ive seen this performance like 50 times and I still teared up at all the parts you did. Easily my favorite live performance, along with Linkin Park and Jay Z doing 99 problems/One Step Closer live, but thats for a whole different reason

This is a stunning all-time great performance. Some of the vamping at the end is not on the album version (the screams of yeah no, we belong together) and served a further highlight the power and raw emotion of this particular performance
