In 1991, Pearl Jams debut album, Ten catapulted the little-known Seattle-based band into superstardom. Then, at the height of their popularity, the band shunned the spotlight, refusing to shoot videos or do interviews. Even as Pearl Jams studio albums continued to be critically acclaimed and commercially successful, selling over sixty million albums worldwide, the inner workings of the bandtheir day-to-day routines, influences, and motivationsremained unknown even to their diehard fans.
Twenty years later, this is their story. Pearl Jam Twenty is a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes anecdotes, rare archival memorabilia, and the bands personal photos, tour notes, and drawings.
