In September of 1992, Pearl Jam, in order to celebrate their seeming overnight success, staged a free show in Seattle's Magnusson park for over 70,000 people. At one point in the show, Eddie proceeded to climb the stage scaffolding in a death defying move, trailing 100 feet of microphone cable behind him in order to loop it over the top, rappel down and then swing out over the audience.

This portrait of him captures all the pent up rage and fury that was Eddie and the band at that time. In retrospect it was a really dumb thing to do - his career and life could have been over in a splat - the anxiety of 70,00 fans was palpable in the air - but thankfully it was a glorious rock and roll moment in what would become a long and storied career.
