Not only did the group play there – and honored other grunge legends such as Chris Cornell and Andrew Wood – but also set up a small exhibition celebrating their long career.

Well, but now comes the coolest part. According to KOMO News, the band raised more than $ 11 million dollars to help Seattle’s homeless. Of the total profit from presentations, 90% went to organizations hosting these people.

One of them is Mary’s Place, and site director Marty Hartman said:

“That’s what these shows can do. Literally bring more people home, out of those cars, those stalls, off the sidewalk and give them a safe space to be, put them in a house forever.”

Still according to the news portal, more than 80 Seattle restaurants have joined Pearl Jam’s request to donate part of their profits to the institutions.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
