Pearl Jam - Live at Pinkpop 1992

Pearl Jam live at Pinkpop '92. This year the festival existed 40 years, and in honor of this event a contest was held to determine the best Pinkpop concert ever. The winner was this one. A truly energetic and driven show from this (in those days still very young) grunge band from Seattle. The stage dive of front man Eddie Vedder from a television crane into the audience is quite significant for this concert and is one of the most rock and roll moments in the history of the festival.

There are unfortunately a lot of very bad bootlegs in circulation with crappy sound quality, however I have managed to find one that sounds rather brilliant. Only disadvantage is that the first song of the set "Even Flow" is cut short to 1 minute 20.

Let it not spoil the fun however, because this is a great performance of a great band in prime condition!
