Saturday's New York Times featured a short profile of Pearl Jam and a review of their Irving Plaza show.
....Pearl Jam, is the lone survivor among Seattle's multimillion-selling grunge bands of the early 1990's, and it has held onto its audience in the most old-fashioned way, through constant touring.
I was an avid Pearl Jam supporter in the early days and was dubious when the band decided to take on Ticketmaster and headed in the DIY direction. In some ways, they've been more punk rock than any so-called punk band out there. I am consistently amazed at their sheer staying power and exceedingly devoted fans.
