there are reasons to miss the pearl jam gig at hyde park in june. it might be my off-kilter moderate points of view with regards to sobriety. bad choice, i do reckon.

Not content playing good music, Pearl Jam are renowned for their legendary live performances. I was wholeheartedly enchanted by the raw power of the guitar riffs at the MEN Arena in Manchester. In their last album, Backspacer, the music reflects their maturity. It’s no longer replete with the cynicism of albums past but lament about hope and optimism for the present. The tracks contains two or more ballads amalgamated to the usual bursts of adrenaline. Just Breathe, soothes and cradles our deepest emotions. Amongst the Waves laments the inspirational crescendos of love and youth. While The Fixer is a traditionally upbeat index of bleeding heart tendencies. The intensity of the chords and drums are still ever present but the anger omnipresent in the past releases is slowly thawing, fading in the distant horizons.
But as always, it is gripping.
