Cinema Central: Live Performance Videos - Pearl Jam Covers

For Allison Crowe, an intense singer and performer, rock band Pearl Jam and its lead vocalist Eddie Vedder is a natural inspiration.

One weekend in Summer 2001, Seattle, Washington was host to the Worldwide (Pearl) Jammer Convergence. Allison and her trio delivered passion and a love for PJ to the musical gathering.

Release  (Pearl Jam)

Release (512)         ~         Release (128)

In July 2001, Allison Crowe trekked to Seattle, Wa. to be part of a gathering of Pearl Jam fans (AKA Jammers) from over 30 U.S. states, Canada and other PJ-friendly locales. Like a scene from Cameron Crowe's movie, "Almost Famous", an entire floor was rented in a funky downtown hotel, and, with doors open, and a communal room for watching PJ videos, the Jammers experienced music and friendship in the Emerald City. Allison performed a welcoming concert ~ in a small, very warm, theater in back of Second Avenue Pizza ~ and Pam Abramowicz captured the intensity in all its lo-fi beauty. 

Indifference  (Pearl Jam)

Allison Crowe plays for Pearl Jammers in Seattle, July 2001

Indifference (512)      ~      Indifference (128)

Another live performance from the Worldwide Jammer Convergence that took place in Seattle, Washington, USA in the Summer of 2001. Allison Crowe and her trio perform Pearl Jam's "Indifference". Greatly inspired by Eddie Vedder and PJ, Crowe was delighted by the invitation to Seattle for a concert before Jammers from all over the continent+. The audio/video is lo-fi, still it captures a hot night that's magic in the memories of Jammers. Thanks to Pam Abramowicz for capturing this and other events at the Convergence on vid.

Jeremy - Coda to Philosophy

Jeremy - coda (512)       ~       Jeremy - coda (128) 

When she led a trio, with Dave Baird on bass, and Kevin Clevette on drums, Allison would, when the spirit moved her, include some of PJ's Jeremy as a coda to her own song, Philosophy. Due to the thin-ness of the sound on this video-cam recording, Allison's thunderous roar is not so audible, but the vibe is there ( :  

So, crank up the bass and the volume, And keep on rockin' in the free world.

Deep thanks to Sandi Heinrich, organizer of the "Worldwide Jammer Convergence", and to all the Jammers who came together for this magic weekend.
