History Highlight:

Today in 1994, Pearl Jam went to No.1 on the US album chart with Vitalogy, their third studio album. The music on the record was more diverse than previous releases, and was packaged in a booklet that replicated material from a 1920s medical book of the same name. Tensions within the group were at an all-time high during the recording of the album, and partially as a result, Eddie Vedder emerged as the leader and final decision-maker within the band. We played one of the album's classic tracks, "Better Man."
