Pearl Jam: Seattle Sound
built 643 days ago
Perhaps as an apology for backing down in its much-publicized battle with Ticketmaster, Pearl Jam gives its fans more show for their buck than most multiplatinum acts. This could be in response to the ever-inflating price of going to gigs, or it could be that the aging bladders of the boys synonymous with the Seattle Sound can now only expand so far and that triple-encore shows are really a ruse for bathroom breaks. Whatever the reason, the capacity crowd at GM Place last Friday crossed their legs and clenched for nearly three hours while the grunge survivors blazed through an impressive, if predictable, set punctuated with hits, sing-alongs, and anti-Bush innuendoes.

Pearl Jam has performed numerous benefit concerts in aid of charities. For example, the band headlined a Seattle concert in 2001 to support the United Nations' efforts to combat world hunger.[88] The band added a date at the Chicago House of Blues to their 2005 tour to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina; the concert proceeds were donated to Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross and the Jazz Foundation of America.[89]

While delivering substantial crowds to various music clubs, No Code have proven their ability to replicate the sound and energy of a live Pearl Jam concert, from the first classic guitar riff to the final encore. Their goal is to redefine themselves as a regional act, if not a national act, by continually presenting memorable shows, expanding their base of support, and elevating their name recognition. To the interested venue representative, booking agent or promoter, No Code can offer a widely recognizable song catalog, a highly charged atmosphere, and--through a cooperative marketing strategy--an exceptional turnout.
