Pearl Jam

In November 2000, when Pearl Jam performed "Rearviewmirror" live at the Key Arena in Seattle, they were deep into the Binaural Tour, promoting their album "Binaural," which had been released back in May of that year. "Binaural" marked a significant point in their career as it showcased a more experimental sound, pushing boundaries while still holding on to those catchy melodies and poignant lyrics that fans adored. The concert was part of the "Touring Band 2000" compilation, which highlighted their dynamic live performances and strong connection with their audience, an essence very much tied to Pearl Jam’s energy. Interestingly, this recording hints at the band's deep roots in their hometown, reflecting a personal connection that undoubtedly fueled their performance. Plus, it offered a glimpse into how they embraced technology, utilizing binaural recording techniques to capture that rich, immersive sound, allowing fans to feel as if they were right there in the crowd. It's a beautiful blend of nostalgia, talent, and innovation.
