Pearl Jam

In August 2018, when Pearl Jam performed "Animal" live at Wrigley Field in Chicago, they were riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album, "Lightning Bolt," released back in 2013. This live concert was part of the band's extensive tour that showcased their enduring legacy and fiery performance energy. Notably, Pearl Jam had recently celebrated their 25th anniversary, reflecting on a career that has seen them become iconic figures in rock history. Wrigley Field itself held special significance as a historic venue, and fans often feel a buzz during these “away shows” — a nod to the sheer excitement of experiencing live music in such a legendary setting. Pearl Jam’s connection with Chicago is deep, made even richer by the city's vibrant music scene and fans who truly resonate with their raw, emotional performances. With “Animal,” they tapped into that visceral energy, reminding everyone why they’ve remained a cornerstone of rock music for decades.
