Here is a couple of clips of them playing a festival in the Netherlands in 1992, performing two of their hits from this album.  









I saw them play Lollapalooza in 1992.  They toured with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Soundgarden and other great bands, what a show!  Lollapalooza was amazing--you didn't have to travel hundreds of miles to see the greatest bands of your time in one festival--the festival came to your town.

Lead singer Eddie Vedder was always doing physical stunts: besides stage diving and crowd surfing, which was very much a part of the grunge scene those days, he would climb stage structures to great heights and swing on them like Tarzan, worrying his band mates when they were still mourning the death of the singer of their former band, Mother Love Bone.  I remember watching him climbing above the crowd seated under the pavilion all the way to the back and waving at us out in the lawn while his band jammed.

Black and Jeremy are two of my favorite songs. I even posted Black in my last post.
