Pearl Jam

In 2011, when Pearl Jam took the stage at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, they were riding the wave of their 2009 album, *Backspacer*. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a return to a more energetic sound, reminiscent of their earlier work, while also experimenting with new production techniques. Interestingly, *Backspacer* was the band's first release through their own label, Monkeywrench Records, reflecting their desire for greater creative control. When they performed "Daughter" that night on September 11, a poignant choice, it resonated deeply, considering the date’s significance. This performance highlighted not only their enduring connection with fans but also their ability to evoke powerful emotions through music, especially in such a charged atmosphere. The Rogers Centre show was part of a larger North American tour that celebrated their legacy and iconic status in the rock scene, making moments like this both memorable and historical. Who could forget the raw energy of that night?
