Pearl Jam are celebrating their 20th anniversary this week, marking their Off Ramp gig in Seattle on October 22, 1990 as the starting point to their career.
To see the entire Off Ramp gig, check out "Watch Pearl Jam's first gig: 20 years ago today" here.
“It was 20 years ago, last night, our group played our first gig,” said Eddie Vedder. “I wouldn’t mention it, but only because, if we wouldn’t have had the help or assistance or the comradery with a certain guy, I guess we would have made it for about 5 or 6...if we wouldn’t have had our Uncle Neil looking after us.”
“And then again, ordinarily 20 would seem pretty good, “Vedder continued, “but then you’re around these kind of guys, and it feels like we’re not even halfway there.”

Here’s Pearl Jam’s set from yesterday; note that the video quality varies from clip to clip, as these are the first ones to surface, but the overall audio quality is pretty good.
