I've seen a lot of videos, but this is pretty damn good. Watch at the 4:18 mark when Vedder starts to basically send the crowd into a frenzy. Classic Pearl Jam and why this band is considered one of the greatest of all time. True legends.

    It's too zoomed in all the time.
    They need to learn how to pull back for the wide shot.

    that san diego betterman clip is f'n awesome!!!!!!! i love how close up it is!!
    i remember 10+ yrs ago when i first heard/saw that go down, with the save it for later tag.
    it was sooo magical...never did i think i'd hear that pete t tag on that pj song, but it soooo worked.
    and i'm happy to say that today, many years later, i beleive that this song is one of pj's greatest EVER
    right up there with corduroy, for me

    I hate to get personal, but...

    That song, those few moments, will always be with me. I was standing next to Bud Whitcomb (Eddie's guitar teacher) just offstage. He had just finished dedicating this song to us, and about 1:00 he turns and says "See that shit, Bud? It's insane!"

    The funny thing? He didn't have to point out to us what an unbelievable relationship exists between Eddie, Pearl Jam, and the many fans, the people for whom this musical journey has meant so much throughout their lives.

    There is a lot of great music in the world, and there are many great performers. But on most any normal night at a Pearl Jam concert, you can sense just how powerful a connection can be made between people with words and music. These moments are gifts that are almost unexplainable.

    Which is why we go.
    Leading a life of noisy desperation, for a rather long time.

    I didn't miss the point at all. It says "Amazing Pearl Jam Video".
    I didn't think it was amazing and I gave my reason why. I've seen much better.

    I loved When Ed was talking about his old graveyard job and how he begged his boss to let him sport a mohawk because he was just starting out with this band and he didn't really want to be working there anymore and then he said something like "....And this job...I'll never F*cking quit!"
