Check out Pearl Jam at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, September 3rd and Wednesday, September 4th!
The American grunge band Pearl Jam was formed in 1990. Currently, the band’s members are Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Eddie Vedder, and Matt Cameron, and was founded in Seattle, Washington. Pearl Jam took off when they released their debut album, Ten, in 1991. The outcome of this album was remarkable, it stayed on the Billboard 200 for five consecutive years. Not only this, but it is one of the highest selling rock albums of all time, becoming a thirteen-time Platinum record with the RIAA. After their first album it only went up from there for them.
Pearl Jam went on tour nonstop to attain an audience for their first album. They started making television appearances on Saturday Night Live and performed at festivals such as Lollapalooza. After winning four MTV Video Music Awards for the music video for “Jeremy”, the amount of pressure from the label got to the band, and they refused to make a music video for their infamous song “Black”.
After touring, Pearl Jam made their next three albums Vs. (1993), Vitalogy (1994) and No Code (1996), the third of which was a break from the sound they started off with on Ten. Many of the songs on the album were defined as noisy garage rockers and experimental ballads. They quickly went on tour after then recorded their fifth album “Yield” which debuted at number two on the Billboard charts.
In 2003, Pearl Jam went on their Riot Act Tour which included tour dates in Australia and North America. The band released a duo of live albums from two dates from the Riot Act Tour, one at Madison Square Garden in New York and another from Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Washington. Now, Pearl Jam confirmed they are releasing a new album which is called Dark Matter which is set to release in Spring of 2024, and have announced a headlining a world tour to back up the album.
