Pearl Jam

We've played a lot of shows here over the years," Eddie Vedder said from the stage of the Spectrum on Friday night after a fist-pumping, standing-on-the-speakers singalong encore of Pearl Jam's emphatic anthem "Alive." "We started in a little place called J.C. Dobbs that held about 65 peop...

Pearl Jam gave the last concert ever at the legendary Philadelphia Spectrum on Saturday night , wrapping up a four-night stand at the venue with a three-and-a-half hour, 41-song behemoth of a set.

I can't really figure out why Pearl Jam is only just now turning us onto Zack Newman at SPIN Earth.  He appears to have followed the full 2009 tour through the US thus far.  Maybe they did, and I'm too tired to find the evidence.  Still ... the video blog is here for you to enjoy.

Due to the mechanical failure of an American Eagle puddle jumper, I missed the first night of Pearl Jam's final stand at the Spectrum.

Today, NewSecurityAction.org has announced that several high profile musicians have signed onto their Close Gitmo Now campaign.  I know Pearl Jam's pretty busy, but could we hope for some Close Gitmo concerts?  Wouldn't it suck if you wrote some music with which you were really happy and...

Pearl Jam exploded onto the Seattle music scene in 1991 and has been fending off celebrity ever since. The group’s debut album, “Ten,” reached No. 2 on the pop charts and has sold some 12 million copies, but the band shunned endorsements and shied away from almost all self-promotion, even re...

With Vedder on board, along with drummer Dave Krusen, the band was convinced it had something special – especially as songs like “Black” and “Even Flow” developed.  “Someon asked me who this band reminded me of, and I said, ‘U2,’” says Krusen.  “Not that the music sounded like them – just the...

This may not be new to everyone, but it was to me.  Of course, Ed, Stone, Mike, Jeff, and Matt are hitting the promotional circuit to hype the Ten Reissue, but even Dave Krusen is getting into the mix with this recent interview posted on Vater Percussion's website. Some exerpts:

In today’s Ten Code episode, we hear from TEN producer Brendan O’Brien, who came back to remix all the original album tracks for a bonus disc in this reissue.  You’ll also hear a clip of “Why Go” - a great example of the more in-your-face sound O’Brien sought for these remixes.

By Charlie Doherty Veteran Seattle rock heroes Pearl Jam have always been fan-friendly, especially when it comes to selling their concerts. Either they do it themselves or allow fanclubs to sell bootlegs of them to the public, whether they were fantastic, sloppy, or somewhere in between.
