10 Legendary Rock And Metal Bands You Must See Before You Die

6. Pearl Jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEWXfPnoqVI Minus the drug influence, Pearl Jam have become a new version of The Grateful Dead: a band that tours endlessly, mixes up setlists every night, jams, and just has fans who travel around the world making every show. Case in point: Long-time fan Brian Farias, who has taken in Pearl Jam over 100 times, was flown to Amsterdam in 2012 and allowed to construct the entire setlist for Pearl Jam's gig there. That's right, they let a fan choose the entire setlist. Not only that, but even when superfans aren't coming up with what to play Pearl Jam vary their performances so much that they often play setlists almost entirely different from night to night. In fact, they've become the one band that is most predictable for being unpredictable. Keeping things changing like that is what keeps fans coming back show after show, and has turned Pearl Jam into a touring band like no other.
