"Published in celebration of Pearl Jam&#8217;s twentieth anniversary and in conjunction with Cameron Crowe&#8217;s definitive film, Pearl Jam Twenty is the unprecedented, and lavishly illustrated portrait of one of the world&#8217;s most influential and successful bands.Published in celebration of Pearl Jam&#8217;s twentieth anniversary and in conjunction with Cameron Crowe&#8217;s definitive documentary film and soundtrack of the same name, Pearl Jam Twenty is an aesthetically stunning and definitive chronicle of their two decades as a band&#8212;by the band itself. In 1991, Pearl Jam&#8217;s debut album, Ten catapulted the little-known Seattle-based band into superstardom. Then, at the height of their popularity, the band shunned the spotlight, refusing to shoot videos or do interviews. Even as Pearl Jam&#8217;s studio albums continued to be critically acclaimed and commercially successful, selling over sixty million albums worldwide, the inner workings of the band&#8212;their day-to-day routines, influences, and motivations&#8212;remained unknown even to their diehard fans. Twenty years later, this is their story. Pearl Jam Twenty is a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes anecdotes, rare archival memorabilia, and the band&#8217;s personal photos, tour notes, and drawings. Told with wit and insight in the band members&#8217; own words, and assembled by veteran music writer Jonathan Cohen with Mark Wilkerson&#8212;and including a foreword by Cameron Crowe along with original interviews with legends and contemporaries like Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Dave Grohl&#8212;this intimate work provides an in-depth look at a group of musicians who through defying convention established themselves as &#8220;the greatest American rock band ever&#8221; (USA TODAY Readers&#8217; Poll 2005)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
