Alive

Alive is a tribute show at The Underworld in London, honouring the Seattle rock band Pearl Jam. It is performed by a separate act and is not the original group.

Pearl Jam formed in Seattle in 1990 and became one of the defining bands of the American grunge and alternative rock scene of the early 1990s. Their albums Ten, released in 1991, and Vs., released in 1993, are among the best-known records associated with the band, and their songs have remained staples of rock radio. This evening is a tribute, so the music is performed by a different act paying homage to the original band's catalogue.

The show is billed under the title Alive, A Tribute To Pearl Jam, and the programme is built around the songs of the Seattle group. Audiences who know the original records will recognise the material, presented by musicians who are not members of Pearl Jam. The Underworld hosts concerts and shows in London, and this is a rock night for listeners who want to hear Pearl Jam's repertoire played live in a tribute format.
