Pearl Jam

In October 2013, when Pearl Jam rocked the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, they were deep into the promotion of their album *Lightning Bolt*, which had been released just a few weeks earlier, on October 15, 2013. This album marked a vibrant return to form for the band, featuring a mix of high-energy tracks and introspective ballads. Interestingly, *Lightning Bolt* was their first album in four years, bringing fans back into the fold after a hiatus that started with *Backspacer* in 2009. During the live set, the band often infused their performances with raw energy and spontaneity, something that's become a hallmark of their shows. The choice of "Last Exit" as part of their setlist at this concert highlighted the band's affinity for exploring deep emotional territory while also maintaining high-octane rhythms—a thrilling combination that keeps fans coming back for more, year after year.
