pearl jam has shown more staying power than most of the seattle bands who were all the rage some
years back. nirvana is long gone, Soundgarden is no more, but eddie vedder and company just keep
rolling on. pearl jam: place/date is the first authorized book to be produced with the full
cooperation of the band. photographers charles peterson and lance mercer were granted unlimited
access as they followed the band from concerts to jam sessions to hotel rooms to tour buses, in
the process capturing the essence of the band's life on the road.
