Pearl Jam: The More You Need - The Less You Get - Paperback

by Henrik Tuxen (Author)

The Untold Story of Pearl Jam - Through Fans, Friends, and the Band Itself

In the words of guitarist Stone Gossard: "We never wanted anyone to write the official band biography, and we still feel that way. But if you choose to write your own interpretations, based upon all the things that we have experienced together and about what has happened, I would like to participate in any way that I can. I think that would be an interesting read and an important story to tell."

Pearl Jam: The More You Need - The Less You Get is Henrik Tuxen's alternative biography of one of the most influential rock bands of our time. Drawing on exclusive interviews, rare fan stories, and personal experiences behind the scenes, Tuxen paints a vivid portrait of a band that reshaped the Seattle music scene and defined a generation.

• Behind-the-scenes access to tours, recording sessions, and turning points in Pearl Jam's history
