10) MTV Awards 1993 with Neil Young. This was the "Rockin in the Free World" episode and was simply electric.
09) VH1 Storytellers in 2006. Q&A with fans plus poignant music equals good television.
08) First Appearance of Saturday Night Live, April of 1992. A lot of people tuned in to see Sharon Stone in cheesy bits, but it was the rocking chords of PJ right when the "grunge" genre was taking off that makes this appearance memorable.
07) Vedder singing the National Anthem at the NBA Finals in 1998. C'mon, a perplexed Bob Costas with the best facial expressions segueing into Vedder cranking out the Anthem? That was awesome.
06) Pearl Jam appears on Letterman, May of 2006. This was cool because after their appearance, they played a bunch of songs in the Ed Sullivan theatre that was simulcast on the Late Show website. It's not every day you get to hear them perform "Why Go" live.
05) Vedder and Sean Penn interview on Charlie Rose. This was a personal favorite of mine. You can tell that the two (Penn and Vedder) really admire each other in a non-sappy way. Very poignant interview and worth checking out on the web.
04) MTV Unplugged, 1992. Where were you on May 13th, 1992 when this episode originally aired? This was simply fantastic television, with my personal favorites being "Porch" and "State of Love and Trust." If you're reading this, obviously you've seen the show but it's gotta be one of their most famous and vibrant sets of the 1990s, if not ever.
03) Saturday Night Live with Emilio Estevez, 1994. Easily the best episode of SNL ever. Sandler doing Opera Man. An awesome version of "Daughter." An inspiring version of "Not For You." What can you say about "Rearview Mirror?" And those TV promos leading up to the show. Cheesy, yes. But great television.
02) Slew of videos, 1992. "Jeremy" was great. "Even Flow" and "Alive" kicked ass. Perhaps the most iconic moment of PJ video history was Vedder jumping off the scaffold into the crowd. History making music with ground-breaking videos changed the music industry forever. Traditional rock and roll has never been the same.
01) I'll leave it up to you. What's your number one moment of all-time involving the greatest band of all-time?

I can also tolerate #4 as #1.
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
I don't think this was aired on television.
If you hate something, don't you do it too
I thought the world...Turns out the world thought me
It was the NBA Finals.
I know, but I think when he sang it they cut to another segment. I've seen the video footage on Youtube but I'm pretty sure it wasn't part of the original broadcast.
If you hate something, don't you do it too
What's your #1 moment?
Good point, Steve. We might have to create an Honorable Mention section.
1) PJ premiering "Grievance" and new drummer Matt Cameron on Letterman...just when everyone had predicted the new stuff wasn't gonna "rawk"! Mikey almost hit his head on the studio's ceiling he was jumping so high!
2) Eddie's cover of "Masters of War" from the Bob Dylan "Bobfest" tribute concert.. a new King is born!..

That's my opinion as well. My favorite rendition, actually.

1992 Pinkpop Ed jumps off the crane with the tv camera into a crowd of 55,000 or so. Madness.
Not sure of the year, but when Ed came out on Letterman and sang the line of Black and held the crazy long note then just took off and Dave had to chase him, hahaha.
Good Catch, Uncle Josh. PinkPop was great. Didn't see Letterman episode, but sounds funny. Too bad Larry "Bud" Melman couldn't hold him for Dave!
ed sullivan theatre was awesome and the 1992 unplugged for me!
Thanks, man. I have no idea how many times PJ has been on Letterman, but I'd be curious to know. It's gotta be around 5 by now, if not more.
Now, if PJ ever appears on Sesame Street, we might have to move things around in the top 10. I think we all want to see Ed carry on a conversation with Animal. By the way, doesn't this muppet on the piano look like Boom?

---I have been looking for this video for my collection for some time. If anyone knows where I may get it, it would be appreciated immensely.

---WHAAA??!!!! Never heard of this!! Shit. This I would like to see and if it is as good as advertised, would like to add to the collection as well.
Oh and the Longroad 9/11 version, thought I had it.
Was excited to see storrytellers and iconaclasts, because of the chance to see them in a different light.
The 1992 acoustical jam is my #1.
Thank you
Drop drop dropping it down...oh so gently...
Well here it comes...I touch the plane...
Turn me up...won't turn you away...
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

I mean, the biggest band in the world, playing that forum less than a week after Kurt Cobain died? And tagging lyrics from KC's suicide note into Daughter?
To me, that's one of the top musical moments in TV history, not just PJ history.
for the least they could possibly do
You've got a good argument, Jeff. Awesome version. I remember calling in sick that Saturday as I was like 23 years old and at a buddy's cookout w/my high school friends and really didn't want to work on that Saturday night. Just a great show.
And for memories.........
