A portion of my brother Michael's interview with Eddie Vedder in Columbus, Ohio after Pearl Jam opened up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers - Nov. 19, 1991. Parts of this clip can be heard in the Pearl Jam Twenty documentary by Cameron Crowe.

    Very cool! That is the AEP (American Electric Power) building in downtown Columbus. That kills me that I didn't go to see PJ in concert until 1996. I have lived in Columbus since 1984 when I came here to go to college but it wasn't until around 1992 that I started to notice them. I can't believe I missed those early Ohio shows.

    I was just listening to 10C Radio (before my connection was refused :(( ) and after SOLAT 1/17/92 in Seattle, Ed was talking about sitting on a bridge for this interview. He mentioned that sadly one of the guys had recently died in a car accident.

    Thanks for sharing this demetrios....I'm Michael's little brother.
    I don't really remember how my brother got a chance to meet him, narnia. It could have been set up ahead of time because he was interning at a radio station at the time. Knowing him though, he could have gotten crafty...making fake backstage passes being creative was a heck of a lot easier back then!
