Full Description
Over thirty years after Ten, their genre defining debut record, Pearl Jam remains one of the most resonant, successful, and enduring bands in the history of rock music. Pearl Jam: Song by Song celebrates Pearl Jam's remarkable legacy through a deep dive into the meaning and themes of their music over the course of their ground-breaking career. It tracks Pearl Jam's evolution through their explosive start, deliberate retreat, and gradual transformation into rock and roll elder statesmen, exploring how these experiences shaped their music, album by album, song by song. But since Pearl Jam's music cannot be understood without reference to their legendary shows, famous for their intensity and community, Pearl Jam: Song by Song documents definitive live performances of every song and celebrates the transformative relationship between Pearl Jam and their fans.
