Grunge icons Pearl Jam have still got it, according to Boston.com readers. But dozens of other concerts and live events got honorable mentions.
Call it the great grunge revival of 2024: Boston.com readers had a clear favorite concert of the year, and if you don’t believe us, take it from one of those readers, Tom: “Pearl Jam! Are you kidding me? The rest battle for second place and it’s not all that close.”
And Tom seems to have a point: Pearl Jam’s Fenway Park stand from Sept. 15 and 17 was by far the most mentioned by readers who responded to our survey asking for the best live events of 2024. Here’s what some readers had to say about the band’s two (very loud) nights at America’s favorite ballpark:
“They really brought their A game to the Tuesday show and they played for close to three hours. Amazing mix of old, new, the hits, some great banter and respect for the venue.” — Steve, North Andover
“Went to both shows, great energy and awesome music!! Bring them back!!!” — P.G., Belmont…
