Pearl Jam

Before the live recording in Toronto on May 10, 2016, Pearl Jam had released their album *Lightning Bolt* in 2013. This album marked a return to their roots, showcasing that iconic grunge sound and raw energy that fans had loved since the '90s. Notably, *Lightning Bolt* was heavily influenced by the challenges of life on the road and the ups and downs of fame, themes that resonate throughout their catalog. By 2016, Pearl Jam was celebrating over two decades in the game, and this concert at the Air Canada Centre really captures that stirring connection between them and their audience. The setlist that night featured classics like “Do the Evolution” and newer tracks like “Mind Your Manners,” blending nostalgia with fresh energy. It’s a testament to their enduring relevance that they can draw from such a rich history while still electrifying the crowd—a real reminder of why they’ve remained such a beloved staple in rock music.
