Pearl Jam

In 2010, when Pearl Jam performed "Once" live at Hyde Park, they were basking in the momentum of their ninth studio album, *Backspacer*, released just the previous year. This album marked a return to a more upbeat sound and featured some of their most radio-friendly tracks, including "The Fixer," which resonated well with fans and critics alike. What's fascinating is the band's dedication to live performance—this concert was part of their summer European tour, where they often mixed their newer material with classics, creating a special connection with the audience. The vibrant energy of their sets, combined with Eddie Vedder's passionate vocals, makes this Hyde Park performance a memorable chapter in their live history. Plus, it was a significant moment for fans because the band had not played the iconic venue in over 10 years, adding a layer of excitement to the atmosphere that day.
