TIMELINE

Pearl Jambutton.gif (123 bytes) Pearl Jam hail from Seattle and consists of Eddie Vedder (vocals), Stone Gossard (guitar), Mike McCready (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass), and Dave Krusen, replaced by Dave Abbruzzese who was later replaced by Jack Irons. Pearl Jam has been credited by fans and critics as bring credibility back to alternative rock in the 90s. By delivering pure rock with an alternative edge, the band has become one of the most respected rock bands in the world, and also one of the catalysts for what is now known as "grunge rock."

1988...

Pearl Jam - "Oceans" (CD Single)button.gif (123 bytes) The origins of Pearl Jam began in Seattle when Gossard and Ament belonged to a hard rock band named Green River. In 1988, the 2 joined up with Andrew Wood and Jeff Turner to form Mother Love Bone which released 2 LPs by 1990. After Wood overdosed on heroin, and Mother Love Bone as a band was no more, Gossard brought in McCready and Krusen, and eventually Vedder - and Pearl Jam was formed. The band's name was created in honor of Vedder's Aunt Pearl's homemade preserves.

1991...

August

button.gif (123 bytes) Ten sold moderately at first but really took off in 19'92 on the strength of the tracks "Evenflow," "Alive," "Black," and the classic "Jeremy." Fans hungry for pure, hard rock with intense lyrics and an angry facade had found their band. Pearl Jam found success with rock and alternative radio and delivered videos that were heavily rotated on MTV. The band also gained in popularity when the toured with Lollapalooza and showed that they were even stronger in concert - as demonstrated with their 18-month tour.

Ticketmaster was the band's main target and they asked the U.S. Justice Department to look into the agency's business tactics. Gossard and Ament later testified before a House Subcommittee on the issue of ticket agencies. The cancellation of the tour was also said to reflect the band's anguish over the suicide of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain earlier in the year. Once rivals for the same fan base, the two bands had settled their grievances and had become friends and admirers of each other.

Pearl Jam - No Codebutton.gif (123 bytes) Pearl Jam released No Code which showed a slowing in the sales and much less interest than previous LPs.

We can be a little more normal now."

The video for Pearl Jam's hit "Jeremy" was being equated with a teenager who killed three people at his high school in 1996.

Pearl Jam - Yieldbutton.gif (123 bytes) Pearl Jam released Yield but the new tracks were already being spread across the Internet.

Portions of 5 of the tunes were then found and subsequently removed from a web site. The songs, along with many other Pearl Jam songs on web sites, are often CD quality when in a format known as mp3. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and several record companies have been taking action against many Internet sites that offer mp3s on hundreds of major music artists throughout the year.
button.gif (123 bytes) The first single, "
Given To Fly" officially hit U.S. airwaves and sparked some interest in terms of "having I heard this before?" It has been pointed out numerous times that the single sounds very similar to Led Zeppelin's "Going To California." Jeff Ament talked with MTV about the new LP: "I think the last couple records, Eddie has really been at the helm of those records. I remember at the end of the last record, he said, 'Y'know, this was really a lot of work for me, and next time, it would be great if I didn't have to work so hard on the arrangements, and if people came in with more complete ideas, and even more complete songs, that would really help me out a lot,' and I think everybody took that to heart."

button.gif (123 bytes) At the end of the month, tragedy struck at a Pearl Jam performance in Copenhagen when 8 people were crushed to death as concert goers surged forward to the stage during the band's performance. The band was taking part in the Roskilde summer rock festival and reportedly asked the crowd to move back from the stage several times. A few days later the band issued a statement: "This is so painful... I think we are all waiting for someone to wake us and say it was just a horrible nightmare. And there are absolutely no words to express our anguish in regard to the parents and loved ones of these precious lives that were lost. We have not yet been told what actually occurred, but it seemed to be random and sickeningly quick... it doesn't make sense. When you agree to play at a festival of this size and reputation it is impossible to imagine such a heart-wrenching scenario. Our lives will never be the same, but we know that is nothing compared to the grief of the families and friends of those involved. It is so tragic... there are no words. Devastated, Pearl Jam." The band also cancelled their last 2 European dates.

I think it's probably healthier that way. I think even avoiding two-year long tours helps us. It keeps us in touch with our laundry. I feel like being a dog runner has more to do with my life than being a rock star... or as anything other than a human being. It's a good place to write from, too. I don't know what a rock star writes about.
