    that lolla 92 one with the stone guitar break is the shit!!! never seen stone so worked up.....he loved it! thanks bringing these to our attention

    Man the ending to Porch was awesome, Jeff kept jumping off the drum kit, Ed goes into the crowd and Stone goes completely nuts smashing his guitar and Dave trashes his drum kit. And at the end the crowd goes nuts and completely bombards the stage with stuff, fantastic video.

    Man I used to live near Lake Fairfax where the show took place, I wish I could have attended one of these Lollapalooza shows back in '92. My Wife and her friends went to the show before the one in the video at Stanhope Village in New Jersey 8/12/92.

    I love his sound and style. I think he fit the band so well and prefer him to Matt. Matt is probably more technically talented but his drum sound is weak compared to Dave's. 'Dave was perfect for the early 90's tenacious and angry Pearl Jam. Matt is more suited for the laid back older version of Pearl Jam post 98.

    Agree. Now, superficially.......... Dave had the best appearance of any of the drummers. not discounting the fact that all of the members were younger ...when you look at the 91-94 era of Pearl Jam in photographs... nothing compares. Awesome. Irons era comes close, it's great. Cameron era is good. Again, just talking imagery here.
    yeah, thanks for the link~!

    He deserves better than how PJ treated him.

    I miss the drumming on Porch. It used to have such energy and urgency to it.

    This Dave A thing has always been a little bit strange. I feel sorry for the guy; he seemed like a decent fellow, and was a pretty decent drummer. Obviously there's a hell of alot more to this story than any of us know. I've heard that didn't get on very well with Eddie or Jeff, and wasn't as diverse a drummer as they'd like...blah blah.

    On one hand It's cool that he's posting these rare videos for us diehards to drool over, but at the same time it's kind of sad and somewhat pathetic to think of him attempting to draw attention to himself in this manner.

    Obviously, he's not making a buck off of the band by posting this shit, but at the same time, it's kind of convenient that this stuff gets dropped off to You Tube just as Peal Jam is in the process of re-issuing their back catalog.

    Dave was credited on the Drop in the Park vinyl, and MTV Unplugged show...but as someone else pointed noticeably abscent from the cover of the Unplugged DVD.

    It will be very interesting when the re-issues of Vs. and Vitalogy come out to see how much credit Dave A get's for his drumming on those albums. I'd love to hear what Eddie and Jeff have to say about Dave's drumming years later. It was cool that they gave Krusen props in recent interviews. Perhaps they will do the same with Dave.

    Personally, I expect the band to take the high road in this regard, but again...who knows what went on. Who knows what kind of resentment there still is between Eddie, Jeff, and Dave A...who really cares.

    Dave was a good drummer, but he wasn't fit for the band on a personally or professional level. The band probably wouldn't have lasted had Dave kept his job. I know alot of you hold him in high regard, but the band wouldn't be the same with him. Their much better without him.

    Dave A's career never seemed re-bound (commerically) after his exit from Pearl Jam. If he as good as most people hold him to be, where the hell is he now? what has he done of any relevance since?

    This whole You Tube thing lis pretty embarassing if you want to know the truth.

    It looks like an electronic resume of an out of work has been drummer; Both badly in need of work, and obviously starved for attention.

    I'd say his Green Romance Orchestra stuff has probably gotten somewhat equal attention, as any of the other PJ side projects, except for EV's solo stuff. When I saw Three Fish with Jeff play years ago, it was basically in a bar.

    First, why isnt it possible that he heard about the re-release, got nostaligic, and decided to share some of his favorite moments on youtube? I dont assume that it's because he is starved for attention.

    Second, it's not about being the best technical drummer, it's about being the right fit for the band. both Dave and Jack were much better fits for PJ, IMO, than Matt is. yes, Matt can play fast, but he plays the slow songs, like Black, Small Town, Indifference, way too heavy. The drums should barely be heard on Indifference.

    I still hope Soundgarden reunites (which would be awesome in and of itself) and Jack comes back to PJ, but if we could take personality conflicts out of it, I would love to see Dave behind the kit again as well.
    Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)

    I loved PJ back in those days as much as I do now.. Maybe then I needed them more as I was younger, more angry and confused and needed an outlet that they helped provide. Dave A was an integral part of that. I don't know why people/fans feel the need to compare each drummer in the sense that one was better than the others etc etc.. they are all different. Can you imagine what music would be like if a musician's style could be flawlessly replicated? Boring. Die-cast music. Forget it. It's style that draws us in, and unless you hit the PJ scene after Dave A's stint in the band, then his style worked for you in that era of PJ's music. I would hope that whatever happened back in the day between members of the band, that everyone has grown enough emotionally to accept that we're all human and flawed and to be forgiving of eachother.. If I was Dave and had those great memories archived, I'd want to share them with the fans, and yeah, reach out and get a little attention. I'm not sure why anyone should assume he doesn't deserve it.

    Peace
    Just me

    Can you imagine if Keith Moon was a young fella in the band, circa 1991-4? I can picture the scene now: Ed's in the hotel lobby giving a very serious political press conference with Angela Davis, John Sinclair and the Weather Underground about demanding equal union pay rights for one-legged midget limbo dancers in the Easter Islands, and suddenly there's this huge "Kabooooooooooooooooom" from the toilets overhead. The ceiling caves in!!! And "Thwap!!!!" Keith lands through the air onto the conference table, covered in dust and clutching some lead piping, a bottle of creme de menthe and a zippo lighter. He'd be having breakfast with Stone in the morning. "Sorry, Keith, it's about approaches, ya know. Philosophy. You're just er, ya know, a bit rock and roll ..." :D
