Happy anniversary to VS by @Pearl Jam Thirty-three years ago, on October 19, 1993, Pearl Jam released Vs. In its first five days it sold 950,378 copies. That beat the record Guns N’ Roses set with Use Your Illusion II, and it stood for five years. And the band did almost nothing to help it. They made no music videos (after “Jeremy,” they were done with them) and gave barely any interviews. The album was almost called Five Against One, after a line in “Animal.” And the goat on the cover? Jeff took that photo himself, on a farm in Montana. Six days later, Time magazine put Eddie on its cover anyway, next to two words: “All the Rage.” He hadn’t agreed to an interview or a photo. He later said he was afraid it “might be a nail in the coffin.”

Beanies are back for the first time since 1991!!! We have a limited number of scarves to match. They’re just like the ones Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder wore back in the day. The logo is knitted—not a patch! I’m so stoked to see them around this winter! #chriscornell #eddievedder #90theoriginal

While visiting Seattle, I couldn’t pass up the chance to visit the former Off Ramp, where Mookie Blaylock (Pearl Jam’s first band name) played their debut show. Pearl Jam fans around the world celebrate this date as the band’s birthday. So, happy birthday, @Pearl Jam and to everyone who helped create what we cherish to this day: the music, memories, adventures, friendships, and more. #pearljam #mookieblaylock #90s
