Pearl Jam

In April 2017, when Pearl Jam took the stage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, they were riding high on the legacy of their impactful discography. Not long before this celebrated performance, the band had released *Lightning Bolt* in 2013, a record that reaffirmed their presence in the alternative rock scene after taking a bit of a hiatus. This era was crucial for Pearl Jam, not just because of *Lightning Bolt*, but also due to the fact that they were finally being recognized for their contributions. Performing "Alive" with original drummer Dave Krusen added another layer of nostalgia, highlighting the band's journey from grunge pioneers to rock legends. It was a moment that resonated with fans, reflecting both the band's enduring spirit and their deep connection to their roots. It’s fascinating how just a song can encapsulate years of struggle, growth, and triumph, isn’t it?
