Welcome to In The Present Tense!------------------------------Celebrating 20 Years of Pearl Jam

This show from Amsterdam '92 is super awesome. The video footage, for 1992, is very good but the audio, which is a mix of pre-FM and VHS, is superb! This performance of "Once" is so intense!



Three other songs from this show are already up on my channel and the rest should be up later today or the next day. Show details follow...

02/12/92 -- Melkweg: Amsterdam, Holland [70m]
attendance: 500
set: Wash, Once, Even Flow, State of Love and Trust, Alive, Black, Deep, Jeremy, Why Go, Bad Mouth improv/Porch
encore: I've Got a Feeling
notes: The stage diving at this show is out of control, with Ed asking, "So who taught this guy to stage dive feet first?" and "Is this the stage diving Olympics or something?" He lifts Mike atop his shoulders during 'Alive.' After 'Deep,' Ed asks for Chris Cornell to come out onstage (he doesn't). The improv is based on a few lines from the beginning of Fugazi's 'Bad Mouth': You can't be what you were So you better start being just what you are You can't be what you were Time is now and it's running out

On the final notes of 'Porch,' Ed falls into the crowd and, in an unusual move, Jeff jumps into the pit! Ed helps Dave out on drums toward the end of 'I've Got a Feeling,' which is an incredibly cool, extended (more than 10 minutes!) version. Part of this super show was broadcast on radio.
