On Sunday night, Pearl Jam graced Boston’s iconic Fenway Park with their “Dark Matters” tour, marking the first of two shows. The band set a somber yet captivating tone as they opened with the brooding ‘Footsteps’ and transitioned into ‘Release’, the final track from their debut album. Despite the introspective nature of the opening songs, the crowd's energy was electric, with fans singing along to every word of Eddie Vedder’s poignant lyrics.
