Pearl Jam are one of the most influential bands to ever grace the stage, and a personal favourite. They seem to value the art of music, the passion, the emotion and not the hype of 'being an artist' which consumes so many today. A perfect example of this is their 1991 anthem 'Alive' off Ten. This video is a standard performance video with one exceptional difference, it is live.
The band recorded the video while actually performing the song, the music on the video is really Eddie Vedder and the boys rocking out, not some synthetic back beat with lip syncing. It is the ultimate live performance video.
A must see for anyone interested in the roots of live performance film clips. Pearl Jam's 'Alive' is a real music video, by a talented band. Not to mention a song, that still sends shivers down my spine.
Hope you enjoy Pearl Jam's 'Alive,' pay close attention to how the video is filmed, the movement, quick cuts, it highlights Pearl Jam's incredible performance even more.
