Annie Clark, St. Vincent: "When I was 10, Pearl Jam Ten came out; the first time I heard it I remember being at my friend’s house and MTV was on. I saw the video for 'Jeremy' — that would have been fourth grade, and then it was like, OK, I know what I want to do. I was just completely obsessed with Pearl Jam. When I was first playing guitar when I was 12 and writing my own songs, I was doing an Eddie Vedder impression."
Jim James, My Morning Jacket: "I was insanely, crazily a fan. I'm still a big fan, but back then we were over the edge...Some of those songs I just really, really loved, and seeing them play just really transported me back to what made me love music in the first place."
Carrie Brownstein, Sleater Kinney: "And for the best of these performers, among whom I count Eddie Vedder, there is no holding back, no wasted moment. What I discovered was that Pearl Jam's music was soaring. Vedder's lyrics spoke to pain and anger but offered a way out; there was a hopefulness to them...Touring with Pearl Jam allowed me to see how diminishing and stifling it is to close yourself off to new experiences. It was a tour that changed my life."
