After the band's emergence in 1991, Pearl Jam maintained a remarkable winning streak as forerunners of the new classic rock, releasing a string of gutsy, top-shelf grunge-inflected studio albums. But Pearl Jam earned their real stripes as a road band, building a devoted audience by touring incessantly and documenting those show with a torrent of recordings. LIVE AT THE GORGE 05/06, released in 2007, is a mammoth seven-disc set that captures the band's crackling live energy. Representing two years of in-concert material, LIVE AT THE GORGE reveals Peal Jam as dazzling, road-tested rockers capable of putting on shows that make their studio efforts pale in comparison. The generous set draws from the band's catalogue, and features classic Pearl Jam originals ("Alive," "Even Flow") and amped-up covers (Neil Young's "Rockin' In the Free World," the Who's "Baba O'Reily," and Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing.")

Rolling Stone (p.94) - "[T]hese three hometown dates are a racing mural of the band in peak forward-motion classicism."

Pearl Jam strode the middle of the neo-hard rock road manfully with their angst-ridden anthemic tunes bearing echoes of 1970s riff-rock. They arrived as part of Seattle's grunge explosion, with a sound less "punk" than Nirvana and less "metal" than Soundgarden. Radio, MTV, and fans responded accordingly, making them one of the biggest bands of the 1990s. Eddie Vedder's intense, impassioned style marks him as one of the most affecting vocalists in modern rock, and the group's battles against corporate giants like Ticketmaster have shown them to be a true "people's band."
