This incredible tee is for the band Pearl Jam and it features the same artwork that was used for the group's debut single "Alive". The song was released in 1991, shortly before the launch of their debut album Ten. The song was first written by guitarist Stone Gossard, as an instrumental piece, and a demo of the song was recorded and circulated in hopes of finding a singer for the band. It eventually sparked the interest of Eddie Vedder, who wrote lyrics describing a somewhat fictional story about the time he learned the man be believed to be his father was not his biologically related to him.

While Ten wasn't an immediate success upon its release, by the following year it had made it to the number two spot on the Billboard 200. Aside from "Alive" the album spawned two other hit singles, "Even Flow" and "Jeremy". The latter of which earned the band nominations for Best Rock Song and Best Hard Rock Performance at the 1993 Grammy Awards. The music video for "Jeremy" also earned the group the Video of the Year award at the VMAs.

Both Pearl Jam and their debut album are considered by many music fans to have been integral to the rise of alternative rock during the 1990s. The band was a key figure in the grunge movement of the decade and they were later inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

Fits like a modern unisex adult large. There is a light spot on the back and on the left sleeve when wearing, see pics.
