Pearl Jam

In June 1998, when Pearl Jam lit up the United Center in Chicago, they were riding high on the waves of their fourth studio album, *No Code*, which had dropped just a year prior. *No Code* marked a turning point for the band, emphasizing a more experimental and introspective direction compared to their earlier grunge-heavy sound. It was a time of evolution for the group, as they sought to break free from the expectations that came with their meteoric rise in the early '90s. The live recording of "Corduroy," featured on the album *Live on Two Legs*, showcases Eddie Vedder's raw vocals and the band's electric energy. Interestingly, this recording also captures their commitment to live performances, reflecting their belief in the shared experience between the band and their fans. They were known for their passionate, sometimes unpredictable shows, which made every performance a unique event, much like a vibrant tapestry woven together by the crowd and the band in each moment.
