Pearl Jam's Philadelphia concert is one of only a
handful of U.S. shows the band is scheduled to play this year. Tickets for Pearl
Jam's two shows at the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City (September 30th &
October 1st) went on sale earlier this month and sold out in two
minutes.
Pearl Jam was one of the key groups responsible for popularizing
alternative music in the early 90's. Hailing from Seattle, the band released
foot stomping anthems that made them rock legends overnight. Throughout their
recording career, Pearl Jam have sold more than 60 million albums worldwide and
established a large and loyal fan base. Pearl Jam fuses the riff-heavy stadium
rock of the '70s with the grit and anger of '80s post-punk, without ever
neglecting hooks and choruses. Female indie-rockers Sleater-Kinney open the
show.
Pearl Jam is Matt Cameron (Drums), Jeff Ament (Bass), Mike McCready
(Guitar), Stone Gossard (Guitar), and Eddie Vedder (Vocals/Guitar). The band has
shared the stage with The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and The Who and is well
known for its energetic, dynamic and varied live performances. In 2000, the band
began releasing "official bootlegs" of its live shows in an effort to increase
the quality and decrease the price of bootleg CDs; they have sold millions of
these official bootlegs to date. Over the past fifteen years, Pearl Jam has
released five platinum selling albums and two gold selling studio albums. A
much-anticipated new release is due out next year.
