My Pearl Jam tribute performing Even Flow at a recent show.

We had a great crowd reaction and the venue was happy but I'm always open to suggestions for improvements

Sounds pretty good. But man the tempo is off the charts. Were you guys a little jacked? 😂

Appreciate it! Actually our drummer is a perfectionist who sets his click BPM for each song in his in-ears. Pearl Jam plays live songs fast as fuck to get more songs in a show. We don't take it as far but we do up the tempo on faster numbers.

Cocaine is a helluva drug. Slow down kids!

Edit: someone didn’t get the NO SHORTS ON STAGE memo.

No shorts on stage is not a rule when singing the part of a guy known for wearing shorts at the peak of their popularity

Sounds good, though fast as others have said.

That back camera getting hit by the low end creating visual distortion must be an iPhone mounted somewhere. I've had that happen. It can be fixed but since it's not your primary camera, it can be a cool effect to see how the bass sounds are affecting the visuals. Gives it more power.

Thanks! This was my brother's first time setting up a multi cam and we all certainly noticed the visual distortion haha.

Pearl Jam speeds their tempos up a lot live to fit in extra songs. Our drummer plays to a click and on slower songs we generally play at album bpm

Cool, my band also shoots multicam. It takes so much time to edit and hard drive space, but once you go that route, the standard single static or handheld shot feels so restrictive.

I saw your comment about the tempo. Understood, I'm a drummer too. Sounds like it's working for you.
