'BACKSPACER' U.S. TOUR
AUGUST-OCTOBER
20 years into their career, the Seattle alt-rock vets have found a revitalized sound with their ninth full-length album, Backspacer, as evidenced by lean and mean tunes like "The Fixer" and "Got Some." "When Eddie Vedder pulls out that indignant yet inclusive snarl and proclaims, 'When something's gone, I wanna fight to get it back again,' you can probably assume 'it' is his band's mojo," wrote SPIN's Josh Modell in the album's review. "For the first time in years, Pearl Jam are seizing the moment rather than wallowing in it."

To celebrate the band's return to form, we followed trailed the alt-rock vets across the country on their U.S. tour. Read our live reviews below.
