found this on X and ended up watching the whole thing. Love seeing these shows before a band become ubiquitous. They were so good.
Quote:
"Sounds of Seattle" 1991, a free festival funded by the city council to promote local talent. Pearl Jam closed the concert three days before releasing their first album "Ten" and a month before Nirvana's "Nevermind" came out, an album that would change the music industry overnight.
"Ten" didn't catch on right away after its release, and it took eight months for the pulling power of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"and the sudden interest from MTV in other grunge bandsto lift the iconic album to number two on the US charts.
This was the last moment when Pearl Jam were nobodies. Playing in their city, for a mix of the band's early fans and locals who happened to be passing by and had nothing better to do.

Pearl Jam cierran el concierto a tres días de publicar su primer álbum "Ten" y a un mes de que saliera el "Nevermind" de Nirvana que cambiaría la industria musical de un día… pic.twitter.com/bddxxVsrGy
