Pearl Jam

Back in October 2013, when Pearl Jam performed “Mind Your Manners” live in Pittsburgh, they were riding high on the wave of their latest album, *Lightning Bolt*. Released a few days prior, on October 11, *Lightning Bolt* marked a triumphant return after a lengthy gap since their 2009 album, *Backspacer*. It was like they dusted off their guitars and decided to remind everyone why they’ve remained rock legends for decades. One fascinating tidbit is that this performance, often dubbed a "bootleg," showcases their raw energy and authentic connection with fans. In typical Pearl Jam fashion, they leaned into spontaneity during their shows, often opting for unfiltered renditions of their hits. This concert not only underscored that classic sound but also illustrated their commitment to connecting with the audience, delivering an exhilarating experience that felt both personal and electrifying. It’s a reminder that as much as they've evolved, the heart of Pearl Jam remains anchored in that incredible live energy.
