that she wore And now my bitter hands, chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything All 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? Mmm, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head I'm spinning, oh, I′m spinning How quick the Sun can drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass. As the Earth to the Sun Now, the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and all I taught her was. It is a very interesting mix.Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did All all five horizons, revolved around her soul. And I feel there is a blues tone to it as well with the guitars and Eddie’s vocal delivery. Then they bring on “Even Flow” which seems to be a little funkier version with Abbruzzese’s drum beat and Jeff Ament’s bass. They took a song that was so intense as a plugged in version and they lost none of that intensity when they pulled the plug.
Side two opens with the brutal “Jeremy” which was the first song that I liked by the band. With my headphones on, I am soaking it all in. Vedder delivers a raw, honest performance that leaves you a little breathless. In one of the nights most somber performances, it stands out as one of its finest. They ended side one with “Black” and a song that is perfect for the unplugged setting.

They were the perfect centerpiece capped off by some playing by the band that was both stripped down to its essence and yet full of flavor. Eddie’s vocals were haunting at times and even wistful at times. Crank it up, sit back and savor every note played. Not to be outdone, “Alive” is another track that highlights the musicianship of this band.
And of course, Mike McCready slays with a solo that was the piece de resistance. Stone Gossard tore it up on the acoustic for this along with a rousing performance by Dave Abbruzzese on drums. He gets the audience all riled up with excitement and then the band goes in to the biggest treat on here, “State of Love and Trust” which was not on the debut album, but a demo that was later released on a re-issue. Eddie sounds almost a little nervous at first until he gets in to the song a little and then he settles right in sounds like a man on a mission. The album opens with the love song about Eddie’s surf board, “Oceans”.

The crowd was in to it, the band was in to and the TV audience was in to it. They attacked the performance with an energy that was more than contagious.
You get a performance from a band that was on the rise, the flavor of the day, but yet a band that had something to prove. The packaging is a beautiful gatefold for only 1 LP which I always love to see. But there was something about this show that resonated and when I saw it was coming out on vinyl, it was a no-brainer. I was not a Grunge fan at all as I come from the 80’s and the whole 80’s Rock scene. When I watched this back in the day, I realized than that the guys were pretty freaking great. The album was recorded in 1992 right after the end of the Tour for their debut album ‘Ten’ and a set list that covers that album quite nicely, you are treated to one mesmerizing and very special performance. And I’ll be honest, this is the FIRST Pearl Jam album I have actually bought on vinyl…I know, crazy right!! But what a way to start. Another exclusive I wanted was Pearl Jam’s MTV Unplugged appearance from 1992 finally being released on vinyl. This was the first time that record was to be released on vinyl. For Record Store Day Black Friday 2019, I got up bright and early to go stand in line for some Exclusive vinyls and most notably was for Matt Nathanson’s 2007 album ‘Some Mad Hope’.
