I wonder why bother? Because jeez, that was amazing, and Eddie isn't even 1% as good as he was there anymore
Not many people ever are as good as Eddie was in that performance.

Has Pearl Jam even played a show since that one?

This is pretty much the truth though. Early Eddie had an iconic voice.

There are few bands less suited to an acoustic performance than 1992 Pearl Jam. Arguably the most unduly praised performance of the band's career.

I love Porch, but otherwise I'm not crazy about it.

Yeah unplugged is way overrated. Benaroya is definitely a better show. That Mansfield pre set too.

I love the unplugged but i always felt any of the acoustic setting were better...benaroya, mansfield, etc. They were a better band with more suited songs for it.
