In the styles of Cobain and Cornell, our voices will always blaze Final Thoughts Together we’ll sing, until the end of days In these dueling voices, our pain will cease I’ve got a hunger deep inside, burning like a fireĪ desire for connection, to take us higherįorever singing, as the night turns to day In this world of chaos, let the emotions flowĪ dissonant symphony in this broken crowd I wear my heart on my sleeve, it’s all I know
Through the darkness and the noise, we’ll make them sway In the shadows of the city, we’ll find our way Singing our songs of pain, searching for the truth We’re the voices of the disenchanted youth Let’s sing it together, under this pale moon Through the haze of distortion, I comprehend Trying to find some meaning in this sonic gloom My guitar’s my only friend, in this darkened room Lost in a world where nothing’s as it seems With the help of ChatGPT, here’s what the artificial intelligence bot reveals about a collaboration between Cornell and Cobain. While this tour is short (just nine shows total), hopefully it’s just the warmup for a bigger enterprise as the band wraps up recording their 12th studio album.But while Cobain and Cornell never released a song together-indeed, Cobain wasn’t a part of the Andy Wood tribute album, Temple of the Dog, which included Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Mike McCready and more-we can see what a collaboration might be like here.
While the band members have ventured off into other projects as of late - Vedder working on solo material, Jeff Ament unveiling Deaf Charlie, Stone Gossard reprising BRAD - they are always at their prime together. His energy was matched by Mike McCready’s unyielding guitar solos and Matt Cameron’s steady beat. Though there was no scaffolding for Vedder to climb, he still was an electric banshee. The bandmates began the show seated on stools, not unlike their unforgettable “MTV Unplugged” showdown, before kicking the seats aside and unleashing into epic fits that harkened back to a bygone time.
On Tuesday night, the show’s bare-bones stage setup carried all the energy of a Seattle coffeeshop, but proved the best backrop for what was to come. While the summer has been filled with predictable blockbuster productions, Pearl Jam continues to buck all of that for raw, uninhibited, improvised showmanship. Tuesday’s 24-song set began in the same way as that show, with the band starting things off with the emotional opus “Release,” eliciting a mass singalong and setting the tone for the evening. True to his word, the night was one of the best Chicago shows Pearl Jam has delivered in their 30-plus-years of touring, even more so than the sweet satisfaction that came seeing the band play into the twilight hours after the epic rain delay at Wrigley in 2013. “We’ll get back outside one of these days,” the singer quipped, adding, “It’s a big job to add to the history of this building tonight, but with your help I think we can try.” “We feel so blessed to be back in Chicago, with our family and friends in the audience tonight,” Vedder said, sharing it had been about 10 or 15 years ago that the Seattle act played the United Center, since Wrigley Field is the band’s usual concert turf. There were shoutouts to Studs Terkel and “The Bear” there was branded merch riffing off Bulls dynasty T-shirts of yore that drew snaked lines hours before showtime there was a Cheap Trick “Surrender” sendoff there was even former Blackhawks defenseman Chris Chelios pretending to be a guitar tech. Pearl Jam filled Tuesday night with as many Second City tributes as they did songs.
