About

Pearl Jam came out of nowhere when I was 12 years old, and I’ve followed them closely ever since. I’ve seen a bunch of shows, I have a huge number of bootlegs, and I’ve always loved tracking the latest fan theories, lore, song meanings, etc. I wanted to make something more fan-oriented than Wikipedia pages, so I made this.

The site uses openAI’s Deep Research to pull lots of information together about each Pearl Jam song, all linking back to source material and fully cited. That means I didn’t write the entries directly, but most claims in the essays should have a link to the original content. Let me know if you spot errors!

Book recommendation

There’s a Pearl Jam book called I Am No Guide-Pearl Jam: Song by Song. It is not affiliated with this website, but it’s written by someone who’s been in the PJ community for many years without any AI. Check it out!
