The video is a bit rough, but it's amazing how close to the final recording Eddie's vocals sound back in '89.

    I know I've watched that 100 times.  Told a friend it was first performed in 89 he didn't believe me.

    Wow!

    What's interesting is that the video seems to have been uploaded nine years ago, but nobody seems to have noticed it until now.

    It's not a secret...

    First time I've actually listened to Eddie in Bad Radio even though I've known about it for years. Lots of funk sound. The man has a knack for improv.

    Find the songs Homeless and Believe You Me as well. 3 amazing songs from those years that totally could be or are PJ songs. I was lucky to find these on an old cassette tape at a record show (yes I'm old) in 94. I remember buying it on my way to Boston to see them at the garden.

    I always liked Believe You Me. Hope theres an old PJ recording that surfaces during PJ28.

    used to talk with Dave Silva the Bassist wayyy wayy back when the band first formed (Pearl jam) he was always cool answering my fan boy questions about Vedder.  He had a new band Big Head or something, felt bad he never got to be part of the era. I hope he is living a great life.
