Pearl Jam – Porch Live at Pinkpop 1992

Last night, as I have been doing a lot recently, I was surfing youtube looking for ancient Pearl Jam videos. As much as I love Pearl Jam in all of their eras, I am fascinated by their live performances in and around the Ten era. Part of it is because Dave Abbruzzese was an awesome drummer and brought a ton of energy to their shows, but most of it is being able to see a young Eddie Vedder do insane things. Unfortunately I was 11 years old when Ten came out – so I wasn’t really going to many shows. The only way I get to enjoy those moments is through the magic of youtube and the wonderful people who recorded and posted Pearl Jam’s earliest exploits.
