I've seen Pearl Jam a few times, and they're the only band whose concerts I would compare directly to Bruce and the E St Band. The obvious affection/communication between the band and the audience, the ever-changing setlists (big hits, deep cuts, well-chosen covers), the spontaneity, the way they can move you with ballads as well as rockers, and a drummer who I'm comfortable comparing to you-know-who. An emotional experience.
