Pearl Jam premiered two videos yesteday: “Unthought Known” live from Berlin and “Amongst the Waves”.
“Unthought Known” is directed by Wes C. Addle, a pseudonym used by Eddie Vedder, and features the band performing for a huge audience of enthusiastic fans in Berlin. As always, the band knows how to put on a show and their energy translates easily to the crowd.
Pearl Jam has always exhibited an affinity for the ocean with Vedder as an avid surfer and numerous songs on the subject (“Oceans”, “Big Wave”) and “Amongst the Waves” is only the most recent song to highlight this. The third single from Backspacer, the video for “Amongst the Waves” contains some beautifully shot footage of the ocean interspersed with performance clips. The band is surely making a strong statement in favor of ocean conservation, particularly in the wake of the BP oil disaster. From the Pearl Jam website: “For every sale of the video on iTunes store in the US, Pearl Jam will donate proceeds to Conservation International”.
