The “
Even Flow” video was shot during a
Pearl Jam concert given in Athens, Georgia and is pretty standard as concert videos go. People say that
Even Flow is about a homeless person, but I disagree. I think it is about a guy who has no enthusiasm in his life, nothing to keep him going, and hence the title Even Flow. His life is just even, flat and uninspired. He thinks about possibilities, but he does not have faith in his own possibilities, his own views, or his own thoughts, so he chases them away. Pearl Jam really knows how to give their all in their concert videos and at the end of
the Even Flow video there is a ray of hope and the promise of a better life.
