Pearl Jam Goes Through The Camera Eye

Seattle photographer Charles Peterson and Lance Mercer in 1998 issued the first Pearl Jam photo book, ‘Place/Date’, and outtakes of the pictures will be featured this spring in the new volume ‘5×1: Pearl Jam Through the Eye of Lance Mercer’. “I’ve been sitting on an archive of images for quite a long time, and was having coffee with (Pearl Jam bassist) Jeff (Ament),” Mercer told Billboard.com. “We were talking about (how) I have all these Pearl Jam images that nobody’s ever seen, like all this behind-the-scenes stuff.”
