Pearl Jam

In July 2018, when Pearl Jam performed "Mankind" live at The O2 Arena in London, they were riding the wave of their eleventh studio album, **"Lightning Bolt,"** which had been released in 2013. This album marked a significant moment for the band, showcasing their continued evolution and solidifying their status in rock history with hits like "Mind Your Manners." By the time of the London show, Pearl Jam was well into their second decade of performing, and their live presence was richer than ever. They’ve always had this incredible knack for connecting with their audience, and this concert was no exception. Interestingly, "Mankind" is a song from their ever-haunting 1996 album **"No Code,"** a work that reflects their experimental side. It’s fascinating how Pearl Jam expertly navigated both their classic tunes and newer material, keeping the energy alive and the fans engaged. Their ability to blend nostalgia with fresh sounds speaks volumes about their journey in the music world.
