David Letterman Inducts Pearl Jam into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Venue: Barclays Center Location: Brooklyn, New York, United States Date: April 7, 2017

Before Pearl Jam found themselves on that iconic stage at the Barclays Center for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction on April 7, 2017, they had just released their tenth studio album, "Lightning Bolt," in 2013. This album marked a notable comeback, showcasing their continued evolution while holding onto that raw, explosive energy that fans adore. Interestingly, "Lightning Bolt" was their first studio effort in four years, and it demonstrated a maturity in their sound, blending hard-hitting rock with reflective lyrics. During the induction ceremony led by none other than David Letterman, Pearl Jam’s rich history was celebrated, highlighting their impactful contributions to rock music and culture. It's a fitting tribute for a band that broke barriers in the '90s and has remained a powerful force, not just in music, but also in social activism—true rock legends, if you ask me!
