Pearl Jam

In 2010, Pearl Jam was celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, "Ten," which had originally been released in 1991. By the time of the live recording of "Black" at Hyde Park, which took place on June 25, 2010, the band had an extensive discography and a well-established reputation as one of the leading figures in rock music. The Hyde Park performance occurred during a significant period following the release of their ninth studio album, "Backspacer," in 2009. This era was characterized by a resurgence of the band's popularity, as they continued to attract a dedicated fan base and received critical acclaim for their live shows. Notably, “Black” has become one of Pearl Jam’s signature songs, cherished for its emotional depth and powerful delivery, often resonating deeply with fans during live performances, such as the one at Hyde Park.
