“Satan's Bed” by Pearl Jam

"Satan's Bed" sits on Vitalogy, Pearl Jam's third album, which Epic released on November 22, 1994, on vinyl first, with the CD and cassette two weeks behind. The band wrote and cut that record on the road while touring behind Vs., and it roams further than anything they'd done before, from experiments to hushed ballads to punk-fueled hard rock.

Stone Gossard wrote the music and Eddie Vedder the words, and Vedder sings them, with Gossard, Mike McCready and Jeff Ament on backing vocals. The credits are crowded: McCready on slide, Gossard on mellotron, Vedder on accordion as well as guitar, Ament on bass and double bass, and guest Jimmy Shoaf on extra percussion. Dave Abbruzzese drums, on what turned out to be his last album with the band; they fired him before it was finished. Brendan O'Brien produced with Pearl Jam and recorded it.
