Pearl jam unplugged oceans1/14/2024 Burdened by the pressures of success, Pearl Jam decided to decrease the level of promotion for its albums, including refusing to release music videos. set the record for most copies of an album sold in a week, and spent five weeks at the top of the Billboard 200. Following an intense touring schedule, the band went into the studio to record what would become its second studio album, Vs. Ten broke Pearl Jam into the mainstream, and became one of the best-selling alternative albums of the 1990s. A few months after the completion of the band's debut studio album, Ten, drummer Dave Abbruzzese joined the band. Pearl Jam was formed in 1990 by bassist Jeff Ament, guitarist Stone Gossard, and guitarist Mike McCready, who then recruited vocalist Eddie Vedder and drummer Dave Krusen. The performance of "Porch" is probably my favourite, it's the last one, Eddie gains the applause of the audience in the middle of the performance since he "falls" from the bench and starts getting a little crazy just like bassist Jeff Ament, Eddie writes on his arm "PRO-CHOICE!!!", Eddie after the song ends "threats" to smash one of Stone's guitars but well he sees Stone and leaves the guitar alone, while more songs were later played this was the intended end of the show (previous "Porch" we have "Even Flow" and we can see in the hand of Eddie the "!!!" that he wrote on his arm during the previous the number), an awesome show, Eddie shines, the whole band shines.The discography of American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, consists of 11 studio albums, 23 live albums, three compilation albums, 36 singles, and numerous official bootlegs. The magnificent "Oceans" opens the show, is Eddie with his White Sox cap, both guitar players Mike McCready and Stone Gossard with long hair and this time of drummer Dave Abbruzzese, this is classic stuff. We don't have the quintessential cover of the Pearl Jam live shows (they have played that Neil Young song 208 times being the cover that they have played the most) and I don't think the encore was filmed but anyway what we have in the DVD is simply a flawless performance. If you go to the official website of Pearl Jam and check the set list of this unplugged performance you will find that is this: "Oceans", "State of Love and Trust", "Alive", "Black", Jeremy", "Porch", "Even Flow", "Rockin in the Free World". That song is the only one not from Ten that we get to enjoy with this DVD (one of the bonus tracks from the reissue is the version of "State of Love and Trust" of the Ten sessions) and after it we have pretty much the most famous Pearl Jam song, the classics "Alive", "Black", "Jeremy" and "Even Flow". The first Pearl Jam album I purchased was Ten and later I remember I got what is today their latest album (a new one is coming!), Pearl Jam, and the greatest hits double CD rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991–2003), with the greatest hits album I listened for the very first songs that now are some of my favourites including "State of Love and Trust". A really beautiful edition, amazing package, great booklet, 2 CDs (Ten remastered and Ten "Redux" plus 6 bonus tracks), both are great and a DVD with the unplugged performance. As for today I have listened pretty much all of their stuff and I love pretty much all of them a week and a day ago I purchased the deluxe version of the reissue of their debut album Ten. However my love for Pearl Jam music is relatively very new, in other words when Pearl Jam visited Mexico City for second time I didn't care that much, I just remember few months later I was regretting for not attending those shows, certainly I listened to their stuff and I was very glad for doing it. I have never been really into Alice in Chains or Stone Temple Pilots, I love some songs of those bands though, or any other band you may relate with those. Pearl Jam is definitely one of my favourite bands of the 90s, I like a lot Nirvana (their MTV unplugged is also great) and Soundgarden but I prefer any day to listen to Pearl Jam.
