Pearl Jam Tickets - Giving Back to the Environment

By: Stub Hub

Pearl Jam has already attained notoriety as one of the world's most prominent rock bands, but these days the band members are more about green trees than they are about all-night parties. Guitarist Stone Gossard is trying his hand as a businessman in an effort to try and slow climate change, recently saying to Reuters, "Pearl Jam is a band but we are also a business. We're seeing ourselves as a Washington business, a regional business that is acknowledging its carbon footprint and hoping to inspire other businesses." Be sure to support the band in their environmental endeavors and enjoy their musical tunes by going online and getting Pearl Jam tickets today!

In the recent Reuters interview, Gossard noted that Pearl Jam's recent investment of $210,000 was aimed at trying to offset carbon emissions from Pearl Jam's concerts throughout 2009. They are planning on planting thousands of trees to help restore several acres of forest land in the Washington cities of Seattle, Kent, Kirkland and Redmond. While staying green, the band also recently announced new dates for an upcoming U.S. tour. The spring jaunt opens with the New Orleans Jazz Festival May 1. Other dates throughout the month of May include stops in Kansas City, Columbus, Cleveland, Buffalo, Hartford, Boston and New York. In June, they will set out for Europe for another extensive trek on the road.

Pearl Jam rose to fame after the release of their debut album, Ten. Some of their more classic ballads were featured on the record, including "Evenflow," "Jeremy" and "Alive." They were hailed for their angry, heavy vocals and significant guitar riffs. Throughout the early 1990s, Pearl Jam's audience grew significantly and their popularity remained strong through the rest of decade, although Ten is still considered one of their best releases.

Pearl Jam has managed to adapt to the times by keeping their sound and style constant. They never quite disappeared from the scene and although some of their albums were ranked better than others, they've continued to make an impact on the industry, even with members of the younger generation. Subsequent albums after the release of Ten included Vitalogy, Mirror Ball and Yield.

The band once again emerged with another full-length record (their ninth) in 2009, titled Backspacer. The whole package emerged as much more of a lighter effort than much of their previous work, which always tended to verge on depressing. Nevertheless, Pearl Jam manages to stay true to their style and tunes like "The Fixer," "Just Breathe" and "Speed of Sound" stand out as particularly great examples of how the band has stayed relevant. The cheerful vibe that fans get from listening to this album perhaps makes up for the gloomy messages heard on most of their previous albums.

Pearl Jam has spent plenty of time on the road supporting Backspacer and you will want to catch them performing live in concert when they come into a town near you. Pearl Jam tickets are currently available on StubHub.
