1992
When Pearl Jam released their debut album Ten on 27th August 1991, it heralded a new era for alternative music in the US mainstream. Although it took almost 18 months for the record to reach its highest Billboard placing, ultimately peaking at number two, it ensured that Pearl Jam remained an unmistakable presence in the upper regions of the charts for the long term. The band toured extensively in support of Ten, and on the 28th March 1992 they played the renowned Cabaret Metro in Chicago. The Metro's fairly intimate surround s help to generate a dynamic atmosphere, as can be witnessed to full effect on this CD, as the band work through all but one of the cuts from Ten. Five bonus cuts are also included from various television broadcasts made throughout 1992, including a delicious version of The Who's 'Baba O 'Riley'. By the end of 1992, Pearl Jam was firmly established as rock royalty following Ten's eventual massive success. Their performance at the Cabaret Metro however provides a near perfect insight into a band on the verge of global superstardom and displaying a confidence and ability that suggests they know exactly where they are headed
