Pearl Jam

At the time of the live recording of "Daughter / It’s Ok" on August 24, 2000, Pearl Jam was riding the wave of their fifth studio album, "Yield," which had released in 1998. The band was deeply involved in a significant tour promoting this album, highlighting their commitment to live performances during this era. Interestingly, "Yield" marked a period of rejuvenation for Pearl Jam, showcasing their artistic evolution while simultaneously reconnecting with fans after navigating through the tumultuous 1990s grunge scene. By 2000, the band had solidified their reputation for passionate live shows, and this recorded performance beautifully encapsulates that energy. It’s also notable that Pearl Jam was experimenting with their music at this time, combining elements of classic rock with their grunge roots, which is evident in the improvisational spirit of their performances. This particular concert is a reflection of their ongoing journey, illustrating both resilience and a desire to explore new musical landscapes while remaining grounded in emotional storytelling.
