Pearl Jam

In 2018, when Pearl Jam performed “Breath” at the scenic Waldbühne in Berlin, they were riding the wave of consistent reinvention and dedication to their craft. Just a few months earlier, in March of that year, the band had released "Gigaton," their first studio album in over seven years. This album was a significant moment for the band, marked by a mixture of reflective themes and urgent socio-political undercurrents, showcasing their evolution while staying true to their roots. Interestingly, “Breath,” a track from their 1993 album "Vitalogy," highlights the band's willingness to revisit and re-interpret their earlier work in a live setting, offering a sense of continuity for both new and longtime fans. Performing in such a historic venue also likely added to the emotional weight of the night, enticing fans with not just nostalgia but the vibrant energy of a band that has thrived through decades of changing musical landscapes.
