Pearl Jam Live! 35 Years of Legendary Music and Revolutionary Shows isn’t your typical band biography. Author and veteran music journalist Selena Fragassi (Spin, Loudwire, Paste, Nylon) structures the book like a concert: start with Opening Act (1984-1991), which covers Pearl Jam’s Seattle origins and formation from the ashes of Green River; Headliner (1992-2000) chronicles their meteoric rise in the 1990s; and Encore (2001-Present) looks at the band’s evolution and continued relevance. Plus, all the studio albums—from Ten to Dark Matter—are explored, along with a focus on PJ’s touring and legendary shows.
