This is 100% accurate. I'm blown away. These recent performance videos are incredible, the band sounds superb. Let's give it up for the sound engineers as well! Absolute perfection. Ear candy. I'm so grateful for Pearl Jam, and how they are still rocking full force with us in 2024, sounding better than ever!
I thought 2022 he sounded the best since 2016. Then in 2023 I thought he was better than the year before. Now in 2024, he has hit some high notes I haven't heard him hit in a decade. I can't give exact examples, but there are songs they played in 2022 and 2023, that he just sounds better this year on.
Oceans at Camden 2022 was the best he's sang that song since probably 2013 or even 2010. My first show this year was LV1 and I was blown away.
