Ten Days of Pearl Jam also celebrated the anniversary of their third studio album ‘Vitalogy’, which turned 30 last month (November 22). Yesterday, the occasion saw the band issue a newly-animated version of its CD booklet on an Instagram carousel post.
The ‘Dark Matter’ tour saw the band play a mix of classic tracks and cuts off their latest album, which was released in April this year.
They also performed notable covers on different nights – on one, it was Temple Of The Dog’s ‘Hunger Strike (the first in a decade) and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘No Surrender’, and on another, Taylor Swift’s ‘The Best Day’ with frontman Eddie Vedder’s daughter Harper.
Their cover of Ted Nugent’s ‘Stranglehold’ – which incorporated an ad-libbed line against gun ownership – received a response by the hard rock veteran, who is a member of the National Rifle Association.
“Hey Eddie join me on my RAV [Real America’s Voice show] spirit campfire to discuss how your insane liberal policies have created an explosion in engineered violent recidivism while you fight to disarm helpless innocent citizens,” Nugent wrote in a tweet aiming at Vedder.
In an NME review of ‘Dark Matter’, Liberty Dunworth wrote: “For those longing for the charismatic songwriting that first put the band on the map over three decades ago, ‘Dark Matter’ will come as a pleasant surprise.”
“Not only does it showcase Pearl Jam reclaiming the charm that first made them a force to be reckoned with back in 1991, it comes alongside some of their most impressive musicianship yet, as well as a determination to take risks after years of playing it safe.”
