Pearl Jam’s SNL performance shortly after Cobain’s death
by Matt, Philadelphia, PA
Mere days after the “death of grunge” due to Kurt Cobain’s suicide (April 1994, I think), Pearl Jam played an incredible set of three songs on Saturday Night Live, plus a snippet of Neil Young’s “Hey Hey My My” (including the line “rock & roll will never die”). This was capped off by the most memorable moment that night, when Eddie Vedder opened his jacket to reveal a large “K” patched onto the front of his shirt.
I’m sure footage of this is out there somewhere, but I don’t have it…
