deep.

I thought you're going to like go into the Pearl Jam song or something, right? That's Pearl Jam.

Well, it always is like something about better man, but I always thought it sounded like scanner, scanner man.

Like how Lily thought that pumped up kicks was that you better run faster than my girlfriend.

I mean, it was like $17.

I saw Pearl Jam and Soundgarden play together in 1992 at like peak, right? And it was $17.

to see both of them together and it was like that all the time and so i i got to see all of these bands many times and it's not because i'm so cool it's because everybody was able to do that everybody was able to do that though like we could go we we could be chatting with our friend like in the morning or in the afternoon going oh yeah did you know they're going to be here tonight oh okay well cool let's all go and then we could just go yes and there was we had

because yeah but oh my gosh yes no i agree with you wholeheartedly and even to an extent like theater prices now are just yeah and it's it's so hard for companies and especially like on the the broadway culture there's there was a really great article about this recently about like it's so cost prohibitive to do a Broadway show now like you're not going to be able like it's going to start to become kind of like the sound stages in Hollywood like it's just they're going to be empty shells and it's so sad because like These are magic sentient being theaters, like, we don't want them to go to carpet and be empty and sad and lonely and full of past ghosts and things but yeah it's,

It goes nearly over five minutes.

I'm going to play Alive by Pearl Jam, the song that really just kicked it off for them.

I ain't going anywhere.

And I want you to look at – we'll have a look Saturday night.

I want you to look at this Drumeo, this YouTube channel, Drumeo.

And the original guy that drummed, who was in Pearl Jam when they first started and they recorded this album, he hasn't played the song since he recorded it.

They got him on this YouTube channel.

And he puts a headset on, he's got his drum kit that he recorded the album in and off he goes and he plays it from start to finish and didn't miss a beat.

This is another video, Mr. Matt.

1990, Eddie Vedder was selected as the lead singer of what will become Pearl Jam.

From San Diego to Seattle.

Chicago, San Diego, Seattle.

I'm your host, Rose Kress.

Today is September 17th, 2026, and we are exploring the energy of Tori's cover of Black by Pearl Jam.

This song is about like a formative relationship and the devastation which follows as you watch your future fade to black because that relationship is no longer a thing.

Eddie Vedder has said, you can't have a true love unless it was unrequited.

It is a harsh one because then your truest one is the one you can't have forever.

How dark, depressing, and sad.

Eddie Vedder wrote this song before he was even in Pearl Jam.

He wrote it on the bus up to Seattle from San Diego, having written it to music that he got on the way.

offense.

I know about Mother Love Bone and Allison Janes and stupid-ass Pearl Jam.

And you know what? I'm so over Pearl Jam.

Why? Because Eddie Vedder tries to act like he's from San Diego, he's from Seattle.

Oh, yeah, and also he's a huge Cubs fan.

We don't count when you're at a connecting flight, you know, or even you drive through, if you do a long road trip.

And everybody knows, I don't do long road trips unless Pearl Jam is at the other end of it.

If you're doing a long road trip and you drive through the state, that does not count either.

You have to contribute to the commerce of the state.
