Pearl Jam kicked off their 2024 tour in Vancouver on Saturday night with a rousing 25-song performance.
The show kicked off with “Wash” from their Lost Dogs compilation and was followed by performances of “Low Light,” “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town,” and “Given to Fly.” From there, Pearl Jam showcased material from their new album, Dark Matter, with “Scared of Fear,” “React, Respond,” “Wreckage,” and “Dark Matter,” and then dusted off “Leatherman” at the request of drummer Matt Cameron for the first time in eight years.

The second half of Pearl Jam’s set consisted of songs like “Corduroy,” “Red Mosquito,” a cover of Mother Love Bone’s “Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns,” and “Porch,” with the encore featuring performances of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down,” “Black,” “Do the Evolution,” “Something Special,” “Alive,” Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World,...

Brad, the Seattle rock band featuring Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard, have announced their first new album in 11 years. The LP, titled In the Moment That You’re Born, arrives on July 28th and includes the just-released title track as its first single.
In the Moment That You’re Born is Brad’s sixth album, following 2012’s United We Stand. The title track marks the band’s first new music since the 2017 stand-alone singles “Hey Now What’s the Problem” and “Pieces of Sky in My Hand.”
The single and other album tracks feature the vocals of late Brad singer Shawn Smith, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 53. Smith had laid down the vocals during recording sessions prior to his passing.
Drummer Regan Hagar commented, “I’m moved by Shawn Smith once again. And Stone’s guitar work on this track kills me every time I listen.”

In a moment that was as symbolic as it was incendiary, Billy Strings strapped on his Gibson Les Paul, cranked up the Orange amps, and rolled into a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire,” the six-string phenom howling, “Move over, Rover, and let Billy take over.”
Halloween night capped off an unforgettable three-night run for Strings & Co. at the Harrah’s Cherokee Center in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. Dressed as characters from The Lord of the Rings (the shows were dubbed “Away from the Shire”), the band blasted through a...

When Green River hit their groove, they played a vicious mix of snarling punk and gigantic hard-rock riffs. It was a heavy, menacing sound, and in the mid-Eighties, nobody really knew what to call it. “I think we just considered ourselves rock & roll guys who grew up on punk rock,” drummer Alex Shumway says now. “We realized that there was some music that we liked before we became hardcore kids that we were afraid we listened to, but then we admitted we liked it. And we started making music like that.

A diverse array of artists from Miley Cyrus to Metallica honored the memory of Chris Cornell at the I Am the Highway tribute concert in Los Angeles last week. While the show was appropriately heavy on rock artists, it also highlighted two of country and Americana’s most powerful vocalists: Chris Stapleton and Brandi Carlile.
The pair joined up for “Hunger Strike,” the surprise 1991 hit by Temple of the Dog. That ad hoc group, led by Cornell and featuring a cameo by Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, was itself a tribute to a fallen singer,...

Most major rock acts go on tour and play the same exact set every night, sometimes even repeating their stage banter verbatim like they’re reading from a script. Pearl Jam have always taken a different path. Their setlist is like the complete Pearl Jam catalog on shuffle where any song can surface at any point. Back in the 1990s, it caused their hardcore fans to feverishly trade bootlegs on cassette tapes and burned CDs, but in 2000 the group began selling pristine recordings of every show. Wading through the hundreds...

Five years ago, Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament and his future wife Pandora visited the grave of Ament’s former bandmate Andrew Wood. Wood was the lead singer of grunge pioneers Mother Love Bone; his overdose in 1990 at the age of 24 forced Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard to regroup and build the band that would become Pearl Jam. Ament never forgot the frontman’s larger-than-life personality and the role he had in shaping Seattle rock.
But Wood’s grave was disappointing. “I was just like, ‘God, this should be so much more rad,...

The brute power of Chris Cornell‘s four-octave voice belayed an inner strength that battled drugs and depression since his earliest days. The voice that brought the music of Soundgarden and Audioslave to millions was silenced on May 17th, when Cornell was found dead in a Detroit hotel room following a concert.
He was born and raised in Seattle, the city that would become the epicenter of early ‘90s rock thanks in large part to his music. By his own estimation, his neighborhood was far from idyllic, low rent and ravaged by addiction. “We were all selling drugs by the...

Happy New Year! It's been a tumultuous year for me and for many of us of a certain age. I lost a brother. The world lost a slew of pop culture -- Carrie Fisher, Alan Richman, Craig Sager, John Glenn -- and music icons -- Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, et al. One comfort for me was music and my rediscovery of vinyl. The warm, comforting sound of analog became my daily meditative fix. Quite literarily. Seeking out vinyl "nuggets" became a quest to help me deal with my own pain and depression. Chasing down albums that I owned thirty years, abadonded at the advent of those shiny new things called compact discs. Restorative analog power reigned o'er me. One of my chief caveats: I would not purchase anything on vinyl that I already owned on compact disc. Well, that rule didn't last long as I found comfort in...

The 90s will forever be equally loved and reviled by rock music purists. The decade offered some of the biggest momentum shifts the industry had ever seen (along with a de-glittering of the genre that was long overdue), but it also spat out some of the most watered-down, godawful excuses for “rock music” to be found in any era.
And while it’s pretty hard to argue that second thought, it’s also a little misleading. Because some of those bands so frequently associated with ruining rock music are a helluva lot more talented than they’re given credit for. But since the nature of the business is based on disposable talent, who can come in and deliver a slice of whatever the flavor of the month happens to be, a lot of great bands were overlooked because they never got a second chance.

Though "Hunger Strike" is the best-known song off Temple of the Dog's self-titled record, "Say Hello 2 Heaven" was always the album's centerpiece. Recorded in 1991, after the overdose of the charismatic front man of Mother Love Bone, Andy Wood, the song is a devastating tribute to a star who never got to see his potential fulfilled. Nearly 25 years later, the song's singer/writer Chris Cornell performed it at his Melbourne show as a tribute to Scott Weiland, who died this past weekend after also struggling with addiction. Though their careers played out differently, there's something powerful about uniting Wood and Weiland's narratives here. And you can hear it in Cornell's arresting performance, with his tremendous voice breaking at times.

How big a "Singles" fan are you? You may have worn out your CD of the best-selling soundtrack and made a pilgrimage to the landmark apartment house in Seattle. And you probably know all the cameos: Eric Stoltz is the mime that won't shut up, Tim Burton is the dating video director, and that's Jeremy Piven as a hyper supermarket clerk chatting up lead Campbell Scott. But for the film's 20th anniversary (it was released on Sept. 18, 1992) we've unearthed 25 things you might not know about "Singles," including that it was once set in Arizona or that it might have starred Johnny Depp(!). 1. "Singles" was in the works as early as 1984 and was originally going to be set in Phoenix, Arizona. 2. The movie took a different course after the 1990 death of Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone (whose remaining members would go on to form Pearl Jam.). As...

This year marks the twentieth anniversary of enduring five-piece rock band Pearl Jam, and Almost Famous filmmaker Cameron Crowe’s documentary Pearl Jam Twenty is a thorough tribute to their undeniable part of rock ‘n’ roll history.
Crowe’s treasure trove of ephemera and archival footage is a Pj fan’s dream, chronicling the street-level beginnings of the passionate garage band and their meteoric ascent to sold out arenas, all accompanied by their heartfelt lyrics, which take new meaning throughout the film’s compelling context.
Born in the Seattle “grunge movement” from the ashes of an earlier incarnation, Pearl Jam arose after the tragic overdose of Mother Love Bone lead singer and driving force Andy Wood. Members of the band fight back tears two decades later, but Wood’s untimely death was an early lesson about drugs that shocked them into avoiding the music industry’s all-too familiar fate. By fortunate circumstance,...

Chicago – Some of the best documentaries ever made happen to be about music and the creative expression behind it. Whether it be an acknowledged masterpiece like Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Waltz” or Jonathan Demme’s “Stop Making Sense” or the more-recent and smaller films like “Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man” or “Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten.” One of the best ever made recently played at the Siskel Film Center and was on PBS about ten days ago before a DVD release last week — Cameron Crowe’s “Pearl Jam Twenty.” See it.
The writer/director of “Jerry Maguire” and the upcoming “We Bought a Zoo” has been following Pearl Jam for the entirety of their existence. He moved to Seattle at just the right time, as the scene there was about to internationally explode with the likes of Nirvana, Soundgarden, and much more.

Chicago – Very few music documentaries in the history of the form have more successfully conveyed the inner workings and outer artistic expression of a band than Cameron Crowe’s brilliant “Pearl Jam Twenty,” a joyful, inspirational examination of the importance of creative integrity and great rock ‘n’ roll. Pearl Jam has survived for two decades as so many of their peers have come and gone by staying true to their music and their fans. And one of our best filmmakers was there for most of the journey, resulting in a documentary that plays well to hardcore fans and those who haven’t bought anything related to Eddie Vedder since “Ten.” Like all great music docs, it works for both.

"Twenty years ago," blogs the New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones today, "I spent an afternoon shuffling around Rocks In Your Head, a record store that once did business on Prince Street. (It closed in 2006.) My friend Jim worked the counter, and we were listening to a new album, over and over: Nirvana's Nevermind. At some point, Vernon Reid — the guitar player and founder of Living Colour — came in. He listened to four songs, nodded approvingly, and approached the counter. 'Metallica plus R.E.M. That's really smart.' He bought a copy and left."
Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills, who formally announced the amicable dissolution of R.E.M. yesterday, will surely be hoping their band will be remembered as more than half the formula for another band ten years their junior (and, for what it's worth, I personally believe they will be), but if this anecdote is the first...

Crowe’s documentary Pearl Jam Twenty features footage from as far back as the band’s Mother Love Bone and Mookie Blaylock days, tracking Eddie Vedder’s replacement of Mlb drug casualty Andrew Wood, and his evolution from being so shy that he’d only sing with his hair in his face to being capable of holding a festival crowd rapt with a ...

With Cameron Crowe and his music sense, we could think of no better creative mind to tackle the documentary Pearl Jam 20. The Seattle rock band is marking 20 years in the music business with a doc that chronicles their beginnings out of the tragedy that was Mother Love Bone through their triumphs over the next two decades.
Pearl Jam grew out of Mother Love Bone, a Seattle band on the cusp of superstardom when their lead singer, Andy Wood, overdosed and died. From those ashes, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard began playing together again a few months after Wood’s passing. When an acoustic tape of the group landed in the hands of San Diego singer Eddie Vedder, history was made.
Crowe turns his camera on the band as well as pulling visuals from over 1,200 hours of tape from the band’s history. His music sense, displayed in films such as...

Popular opinion on Pearl Jam has fluctuated wildly over the 20 years of the band's existence. Its second album, "Vs.," set a record for most copies sold in its first week of release; but a pervasive fear of the spotlight, coupled with the band's tendency to take itself too seriously, turned some people off, and the huge proliferation of hunger dunger dang imitators that came up in Pearl Jam's wake led others to deem Eddie Vedder and crew guilty by association.
Still, through it all, Pearl Jam persevered, and now the band's taking a much-deserved, season-long victory lap. At the forefront is the Cameron Crowe-helmed documentary "Pearl Jam Twenty," which gives us a chance to reflect, to celebrate, and to enjoy what has made Pearl Jam such a lasting part of the rock landscape: the music.
To that end, we have the "Pearl Jam Twenty" soundtrack, stocked with material spanning the band's entire career.

And actually trying to find something in these towers of boxes is always a futile endeavour.

I had a big day on Saturday with big plans to get home early and rest up for the push through the meaty part of Tiff. That sounds unpleasant. One thing I forgot to mention on the Day 2 blog was that after The Last Gladiators, I spotted Chris Nilan in the lobby. Being a big Habs fan and remembering him being pretty awesome, I went up and spoke to him, shook his hand and survived not getting punched square in the face. He's much shorter than I thought he would be. I started off Saturday meeting my brother for brunch at a place called Allen's over on the Danforth. A couple of eggs with smoked salmon and some sweet potatoes. Pretty damn good. The coffee, however, was amazeballs. Organic coffee is delicious. Ranking the places I've had coffee up here...it goes Allen's at number 1, then Starbucks, and then Tim Horton's.

To celebrate the year when rock truly rocked, MTV News has been asking some of today's biggest acts (everyone from Blink-182 to DJ Skrillex) to remember their favorite albums from that truly epic year.
So far, we've looked back at Metallica's Black Album, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Dinosaur Jr.'s Green Mind, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and Slint's Spiderland.

Making its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, of course it wouldn't be a Pearl Jam film without a soundtrack.

Pearl Jam’s soundtrack to Cameron Crowe’s documentary about the band, “Pearl Jam 20,” won’t be out until Sept. 20, but today, the Seattle group released its cover of Mother Love Bone’s “Crown of Thorns.” Mother Love Bone ended with lead singer Andrew Wood’s fatal overdose in 1990. Pearl Jam was then born partially out the remnants with Mlb bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard forming the band.

When the news came through on Tuesday (March 8th) that former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr had passed away at the age of 44, it felt tragically familiar. While the rock stars of the early '90s certainly brought forth some truly revolutionary sounds and completely redefined the music industry for a few years, they also set an unnerving precedent for dying young. Rock stars have always had the specter of early death hanging over them, from the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly to Elvis Presley's early exit to John Lennon's tragic murder to Jimi Hendrix's heartbreaking passing.
But the participants of the grunge era seemed to pass away at an alarming rate, with far too many succumbing to drug problems (including Starr's Alice in Chains bandmate Layne Staley, Blind Melon frontman Shannon Hoon and Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff). In fact, one of the inciting incidents...

Christmas gives plenty of people a number of reasons to celebrate, but Eddie Vedder has one extra thing to raise a glass to today, as it is his birthday. The Pearl Jam frontman is now 46 years old, and though he has been an integral component of the rock world for most of two decades, in many respects it seems like he's just getting warmed up.

Of course, Vedder is best known as the singer for Pearl Jam, the band he joined following the end of about-to-break Seattle band Mother Love Bone. Vedder was something of an outsider in the beginning, as he was living in San Diego and not really considering a music career (he was content to surf). But a friend sent him a tape of some demos put together by guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament,...

Though she spent the bulk of 2009 staying under the radar following the unfortunate fight with Chris Brown in February, Rihanna has been an absolute flurry of activity since the release of her fourth album Rated R. Since then, she has been on a killer promotional push, starred in a handful of music videos (some of the best produced all year) and hit the road with Ke$ha. Somewhere in there, she found the time to record a new album, which will be hitting stores on November 2. She already has a new single ("Only Girl (In the World)," which premiered on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning) and a title, which she said will be Loud.
"I made sure not to let you down with my music!" she said during a chat on an official fan site over the weekend. "You guys are always defending me, so now you've got...

This Saturday night (March 13), Pearl Jam will take the stage at 30 Rockefeller Center's Studio 8H and rock out on "Saturday Night Live" for the fourth time in their two decades as a band (Jude Law will cover hosting duties). From their humble origins as a band called Mookie Blaylock who formed in the wake of the tragic death of Mother Love Bone frontman Andrew Wood to their world-conquering dominance on albums like Ten and Vs. to their battles with Ticketmaster and George W. Bush to their current incarnation as one of the most consistent and beloved touring acts in the world, Pearl Jam have held onto their core members (save for some shuffling in the drummer's stool) and delivered their rugged mix of classic rock, punk, garage and everything in between.
In 20 years, frontman Eddie Vedder doesn't appear to have aged very much. He still has that youthful glow and a hunger in his eyes,...

It's hard to believe that nearly two decades have past since Mookie Blaylock rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone, quickly (and wisely) changing its name to Pearl Jam shortly thereafter. But since those first shows in 1990, the band has maintained a death-like grip on both its principles and its ability to bring the rock. With a new album due out on Sunday, Paste heads into the weekend with the Pearl Jam Takeover—where its all Pearl Jam, all day long. We review the new album, Backspacer, and talk to its producer, Brendan O'Brien.
