Pearl Jam on stage (photo Kevin Westenberg)
PEARL JAM’s Eddie Vedder and Jeff Ament, photographed by Kevin Westenberg at Lollapalooza, 1992. Easily one of the most iconic photos of the early ’90s,
photographer Kevin Westenberg recalls how he took this photo:
“I was covering this second year of the LOLLAPALOOZA tour for the Melody Maker. During this time, I also worked for SOUNDGARDEN, who were also on the bill. This was 1992,
and SOUNDGARDEN and PEARL JAM were still in their infancy. The fun years.
The other bands on the bill included the RHCP, Ministry, Ice Cube, the Jesus and Mary Chain and Lush.
It was a big party back before video smartphones and all the other intrusive monitoring devices that modern-day musicians
have to deal with.”
“The hair was long, and the shorts were baggy. Pure Grunge. This shot was just an accident, as shooting at big events with even bigger stages
usually means you get nothing but the obligatory shot of the back of some rock star’s head and the crowd. Ho hum. If Eddie hadn’t momentarily
leant all his weight on Jeff Ament in this way, and I was a foot or two to either side, none of this would have worked.”
