Live: Pearl Jam at Gibson Amphitheatre
The band rode wave after wave of its music, surfing steadily through its songs curls and switch ups. The sound was excellent and the size of the venue let fans and band connect.

Matt Cameron cast himself as the storm s eye -- back straight, face calm as he beat out a spray of drum notes.
