When it came to grunge, Pearl Jam was one of my top two (STP being the other).  I can't really explain it, but there was something just a little more soulful about Pearl Jam.  Soundgarden brought it hard, Nirvana was for the disenchanted (and I wasn't that disenchanted) and Alice In Chain was a bit more "trippy".  Now, 22 years after it's release Pearl Jam's epic first release "Ten" has sold ten million copies.  More after the jump.

It was 12 years ago today that Pearl Jam played Lubbock. The fortunate thing about this anniversary is that you can relive it anytime you want.  This was the tour that Pearl Jam started recording and releasing every single show. They made the Lubbock show extra special too but playing a song they learned 'just for the show', played that one time and have never played it again.  More after the jump.

This is one of my favorite concert films ever. It's not the best quality, but when I first got to see it, it was a bootleg as well. It's worth the wonky quality to just see all of this legendary talent kick it out on stage.  For those of you not in the know, the band was basically known for having Layne Staley of Alice in Chains on vocals and Mike McCreedy of Pearl Jam on guitar. Not to be dismissed are the contributions of Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin and Bassist John Baker Saunders (and occasional backup vocals from Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees).  More after the jump.

Some of you have no freakin' idea how POWERFUL Pearl Jam was at their peak. They've mellowed and grown older gracefully, but in their day there was no better band on stage. This video shows a baby faced Eddie Vedder belting out the classic and later beating the holy hell out of the stage with his mic stand. This is pure energy and aggression. Check out this video and you'll see why, for a short period of time, Pearl Jam ruled the world.
