In August 1995, Neil Young teamed up with Pearl Jam during the iconic Pukkelpop Festival in Hasselt, Belgium, delivering a gripping performance that mixed classic hits with raw energy. Just before this live recording, Young had released 'Mirror Ball' in 1995, an album that marked a fresh collaboration with Pearl Jam, showcasing his evolution in the grunge scene of the 90s. It's a fascinating moment in Young's career, as he was expertly bridging the gap between his seasoned folk-rock roots and the cutting-edge sound of the Seattle grunge movement.
