![]() ![]() And of course, Mike McCready slays with a solo that was the piece de resistance. Stone Gossard tore it up on the acoustic for this along with a rousing performance by Dave Abbruzzese on drums. He gets the audience all riled up with excitement and then the band goes in to the biggest treat on here, “State of Love and Trust” which was not on the debut album, but a demo that was later released on a re-issue. Eddie sounds almost a little nervous at first until he gets in to the song a little and then he settles right in sounds like a man on a mission. ![]() The album opens with the love song about Eddie’s surf board, “Oceans”. ![]() The crowd was in to it, the band was in to and the TV audience was in to it. They attacked the performance with an energy that was more than contagious. You get a performance from a band that was on the rise, the flavor of the day, but yet a band that had something to prove. The packaging is a beautiful gatefold for only 1 LP which I always love to see. But there was something about this show that resonated and when I saw it was coming out on vinyl, it was a no-brainer. I was not a Grunge fan at all as I come from the 80’s and the whole 80’s Rock scene. When I watched this back in the day, I realized than that the guys were pretty freaking great. The album was recorded in 1992 right after the end of the Tour for their debut album ‘Ten’ and a set list that covers that album quite nicely, you are treated to one mesmerizing and very special performance. And I’ll be honest, this is the FIRST Pearl Jam album I have actually bought on vinyl…I know, crazy right!! But what a way to start. Another exclusive I wanted was Pearl Jam’s MTV Unplugged appearance from 1992 finally being released on vinyl. This was the first time that record was to be released on vinyl.
