Pearl Jam

In July 2010, when Pearl Jam delivered a thrilling live performance of "Do The Evolution" at Hyde Park, they were riding high on the waves of their album *Backspacer*, released in 2009. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was produced by Brendan O’Brien, who had collaborated with the band earlier in the ’90s. It showcased a fresh, energetic sound, reflecting their evolution from grunge pioneers to a more versatile rock band. Interestingly, Pearl Jam had a bit of a tumultuous relationship with the mainstream, but *Backspacer* showed they were still very much a vital force in rock music, earning their first No. 1 album in the US since 1996. On stage at Hyde Park, their performance wasn't just a tribute to their legacy but also a loud proclamation of their enduring relevance. It’s fascinating how, even after all these years, they can ignite such passion in their audience—turning a summer night into an unforgettable rock spectacle!
