The Pearl Jam 1991 United States Tour was a concert tour by the American rock band Pearl Jam. It was the band's first tour since taking the name "Pearl Jam". They had previously used the name "Mookie Blaylock". Alt URL
History The band continued to play live shows after finishing the mixing sessions for its debut album Ten in England. After performing a handful of one-off shows on the West Coast (one of which was a concert that celebrated the completion of the film Singles on May 25), drummer Dave Krusen was dismissed from the band due to his alcoholism. He was briefly replaced by Matt Chamberlain. The tour properly kicked off on July 10, which focused on the East Coast. Chamberlain left the band following this tour and the filming of the "Alive" video on August 3, 1991, in Seattle, Washington at RKCNDY to join the Saturday Night Live band. For his replacement, Chamberlain suggested drummer Dave Abbruzzese, who joined the group and played the rest of Pearl Jam's live shows supporting the Ten album. Chamberlain said, "I toured in the van with them, played a bunch of clubs—I had a good time, definitely had a good time. They wanted me to join the band, but Edie Brickell & New Bohemians had just broke up, I had just got off the road after touring for four years straight—I could not imagine doing it again."Scanlon, Tom. "Drummer to the stars calls Seattle home". The Seattle Times. July 24, 2003.
