Remember when MTV stood for music television, and not teenage pregnancy, juice heads, and hillbillies? MTV now ignorantly plays music at a time when it's either too early (starting at 6am) or to late (starting back up again at around 2 or 3am) to be awake. An artist's greatest power is the influence he or she has over other people's emotions, and Pearl Jam uses this influence quite well. Songs that make you feel are songs worth listening to. The performance went from giving me goosebumps by listening to Abbruzzese's solid drumming that so effortlessly complimented the sick guitar solo by McCready towards the end of "Alive", to giving me instant, distressing flashbacks that gave off the same message as the song "Black." That's ok though. I don't think the band wants to be part of it." The first verse alone lets you know exactly what Eddie meant about it being a "fragile" song.

"Black" became one of Pearl Jam's best known songs and is a central emotional piece on the album Ten. Passion runs through his blood and it is evident in the way he performs.Ĥ. His eyes roll in the back of his head, his head jerks around in short, fast movements, and he'll even give you a twisted little smile, raising his cheekbones and pursing his lips, in parts of the song that usually aren't that happy. Eddie's face (aside from being absolutely beautiful) leaves you wondering whether or not he's having an epileptic seizure, wanting to kill someone, or just completely lost in the music. Eddie's voice alone is gripping and intense as he sings the tune is such a way to showcase power, pureness, and patience, but when you put that talent along with his enthralling facial expressions, you damn good show. However, I find myself completely lost to the world around me when I see Eddie sing. The singer set up an Instagram account to shed light on the mail in voting.One thing to be noted about Pearl Jam during the duration (35 minutes) of this show is their energy and devotion towards the music they play, as well as the pure joy they get out of performing. The camera catches glimpses of Dave smiling and mouthing the words as he rocks out on the drum set throughout the entire show, and you'll notice McCready and Stone start to move their bodies with the rhythm of the music and dedicate their entire mindset and emotion to each song's pivotal guitar solo found within most of Pearl Jam's pieces.
