THREE DISCS OF LEGENDARY EARLY NINETIES PEARL JAM PERFORMANCES Pearl Jam entered Seattle's London Bridge Studios in March 1991 to record their debut album, Ten. Drummer Dave Krusen left the band in May 1991 after checking himself into rehabilitation and was replaced by Matt Chamberlain, but after just a handful of gigs Chamberlain left too and was superseded by Dave Abbruzzese, who played the rest of Pearl Jam's live shows supporting Ten. Released on August 27, 1991, Ten contained eleven tracks dealing with dark subjects like depression, suicide, loneliness, and murder. The album was slow to sell, but by the second half of 1992 it became a breakthrough success, being certified gold and reaching number two on the Billboard charts. It stayed on the charts for more than two years, and has gone on to become one of the highest-selling rock records ever, going 13 x platinum. With the success of Ten, Pearl Jam became a key member of the Seattle grunge explosion, along with Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Soundgarden. Nirvana's Kurt Cobain angrily attacked Pearl Jam, claiming the band were commercial sellouts, and argued Ten was not a true alternative album because it had so many prominent guitar leads, but he later reconciled with Vedder, and they reportedly were on amicable terms before Cobain's death in 1994. Pearl Jam headed back into the studio in early 1993 to record their sophomore record, Released on October 19, 1993, Vs. sold 950,378 copies in its first week of release and outperformed all other entries in the Billboard top ten that week combined. Album three Vitalogy was released on December 6, 1994 and became the second-fastest-selling album in history, with more than 877,000 units sold in its first week, sitting just behind the groups previous release in the record books. It is from this period of Pearl Jams history that the material on this boxed set is drawn
