bc doesn't exist an official release of pearl jam's unplugged
Jaxon Moore
Because the media only cared about Nirvana
Chase Reed
Because Pearl Jam sucks.
Alexander Reed
They didn't try to make it intimate or beautiful; it was just another performance except without distortion.
Hudson Collins
Because they just played the songs exactly the same as they would if it were "plugged"
They put in no extra thought into reshaping the songs to fit the acoustic setting.
AIC already has a bunch of acoustic songs that worked, but songs like Would? fell into the same trap though.
Nirvana just played a bunch of covers to avoid this problem.

Media was obsessed with PJ/Eddie though. Maybe not at the time that this unplugged was filmed, but by '93 they were definitely more interested in PJ, as they were selling more albums, playing more shows, showing more of the "social consciousness" BS. Whereas the meme of "Is Kurt and Courtney's baby going to come out deformed or not?" meme died out.

Ironically Time magazine was gonna give Kurt the spot, but couldn't do it in time, so they went with Eddie.

Logan Wright
Cause it was not as good as Nirvana's or Alice in Chains'
Nolan Morgan
The STP unplugged session is the best.
Bentley Rodriguez
So utterly underrated.
Kevin Turner
Unironically this.
Jackson Sullivan
Not as good of a band
Alexander Sullivan
This is....nice
Easton Perry
they offered them both, they both declined, and they picked eddie for whatever reason and he got mad.
Colton Moore
this. also the unplugged idea is a shitshow anyway if your music is anything but acoustic folk tunes.
James Nguyen
probably cause they felt eddie really didn't care but kurt would be fuming about it in the press if they had used his picture without authorization. kurt was not dumb about lawyering up.
Luke Taylor
>No mention of Benaroya Hall
Colton Gutierrez

Owen Carter

This song is 3 minutes too long. Talk about repetitive. Fuck. Fast forward a minute its the same part, next minute same part. The delio bros really stepped up their game by purple in the writing department.
