∞ Pearl Jam Saturday Night Live Primer
I am super excited for tonight’s SNL with Pearl Jam making their 4th appearance as musical guest. I wasn’t into the band when the played the first time in 1992, but I absolutely was into them for their second appearance in 1994. I remember watching the VHS recording the next morning like a dozen times. They opened with Not For You, which at that point was unreleased. They wasted their big promo spot—the reason most bands play SNL to begin with—with a song only diehards knew. What a great fucking rock band. 11:30ET, set your DVRs, or just watch it live!
SNL 1992: Alive, Porch
SNL 1994: Not For You, Rearviewmirror, Daughter (how many bands play 3 songs, not including credits?)
SNL 2006: Worldwide Suicide, Severed Hand
My predictions for tonight:
SNL 2010: Just Breathe, Unthought Known
