Pearl Jam

In July 2010, when Pearl Jam performed "Just Breathe" live in Hyde Park, the band was riding high on the wave of their album, "Backspacer," which had released slightly less than a year prior, in September 2009. This album marked a bit of a resurgence for the band, showcasing their signature sound while incorporating a more polished production style. It also revealed a shift in lyrical themes, with introspective reflections on life, love, and mortality—topics that resonate deeply in "Just Breathe." Interestingly, this performance was part of a significant European tour, which was notable for its energy and connection with fans, serving as a reminder of Pearl Jam's enduring legacy as a live act. The way Eddie Vedder delivered the heartfelt lyrics that night in London epitomized the raw emotion they continuously bring to their shows, reinforcing their status as one of rock's most iconic bands.
