Insights from Chapter 1
#1
Pearl Jam’s second drummer, Matt Chamberlain, once likened playing with the band to boxing with Mike Tyson. The band had a similar strategy: intimidation. They were the baddest band in the game, and this reputation defeated their opponents before the match even began.
#2
Pearl Jam is touring in support of their third consecutive multiplatinum album, Vitalogy. But this isn’t a moment of triumph. They are set up onstage like victims in demand for public show.
#3
Pearl Jam’s music and influence were everywhere in the 1990s. They had the perfect timing to turn out the kinds of songs that the rock audience craved at the precise moment.
#4
Pearl Jam was the right band for the moment in 1995, but they were criticized by both baby boomers and Gen Xers. They were accused of being sellouts, bandwagon jumpers, overheated arena rockers, and hopelessly middle-of-the-road poseurs.
#5
Gen Xers were extremely parochial, and they tended to believe that their culture, the music, the movies, and the terrible kiddie TV shows were the best. They also wanted the security and status of boomers, but they distrusted those desires.
#6
By the time of the Red Rocks concerts, Pearl Jam had reached a breaking point. The band had grown extremely chaotic and incomprehensible, with triumphs mixing with tragedies. They had put themselves in the impossible position of proving that Ticketmaster was a monopoly by attempting to tour without them.
#7
In 1995, Pearl Jam had a disastrous show in San Francisco, and they canceled the next seven shows. But they didn’t die, and they continued to survive and thrive in the second half of the 1990s.
#8
The thrill of listening to the 6/20/95 bootleg recording is witnessing Pearl Jam’s attempt to figure out the who the hell are we. question. They begin with a song they debuted live just four days earlier, on June 16, in Casper, Wyoming: Long Road.
