Has to be VMAs. For me it's the definitive version. All 5 of them on top form. The haunted looks of Eddie, the chicken neck then circle gallop from Stone, Mike and Jeff feed of the Stone and DaveA energy and Dave is just the rock solid wall.

Perfection.

One of my faves too.

From http://www.fivehorizons.com/songs/aug99/index.shtml
Quote:
An amusing tale surrounds PJ's live performance of "Jeremy" at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards. Apparently the band wanted to play "Sonic Reducer." However, the "Jeremy" video was in current heavy rotation and that was what MTV demanded. The band relented, but not before playing the song off-camera as a soundcheck to the in-studio audience. Additionally, at the close of their compelling performance, Ed sings, "I don't need no ... I don't need no mom and dad ..." a sly and obscure reference to the "Sonic Reducer" lyrics.

the same thing happened w/ nirvana that year, thats why kurt cobain started singing "rape me" before "lithium". pretty sure mtv wanted them to play "teen spirit" . this was the same award show krist novacelek smashed his face w/ his bass. classic.
