Massachusetts: Here Are All The Movie Theaters That Will Screen Pearl Jam’s ‘Dark Matter’

On April 19 Pearl Jam, will release their 12th studio record entitled, Dark Matter. However, fans will have the opportunity to hear the new music a few days earlier via a theater release.

On Tuesday April 16, tons of movie theaters across the globe will screen Dark Matter for one night and one night only. "To celebrate the release of the new album, Pearl Jam will present an exclusive cinematic engagement, Pearl Jam – Dark Matter – Global Theatrical Experience," the band says.

Rocking the big screen is certainly something Pearl Jam has had great success with in the past. Whether it was via director Danny Clinch's Let's Play Two film, or Cameron Crowe's PJ20 film, the band has released exciting visual presentations of their music numerous times.

The difference here is Dark Matter will be screening at numerous places around the state. When PJ20 was released it was primarily at a theater in Cambridge. This is not the case here. 10 different spots around Massachusetts will carry the one-night special.

"This communal experience will play Dark Matter in its entirety twice: first in a dark cinema, and then again with mesmerizing visuals," the band explains.

In total, Dark Matter will play at 300 locations across the globe as the band continues to find ways to bring people together. In addition to 25o theaters in America, Mexico, Australia, Brazil and various countries in Europe will also participate.

The first single off the new record, which is the title track, was released on February 13. Last week, the second single, "Running" was unveiled.

If you are paying close attention to CBS' coverage of March Madness you may have noticed clips of "Something Special" playing along side previews and highlights.

Dark Matter coming to movie theaters is just part of what Massachusetts fans have to look forward to. Pearl Jam will wrap up the U.S. leg of their world tour at Fenway Park on September 15 and 17. This will be the band's fifth and sixth shows at this MLB landmark, having played two nights in 2016 and 2018.

Boston Red Sox left fielder Alex Verdugo wears number 99. Closer Kenley Jansen wears number 74. At first glance, you may think these are not typical baseball uniform numbers. The organization has 11 options that are immediately unavailable. The Red Sox retired numbers include 10 players that are forever Yawkey Way legends, and one player who is forever a MLB legend.

The Red Sox first retired a uniform number in 1984. It was #4 which belonged to Joe Cronin, who spent 48 years in baseball. The nod was to honor the fact that Cronin was a player, manager, and executive with Boston. Five days later (May 29, 1984) the Red Sox retired Ted Williams' #9. It would be four years until another number was retired with Bobby Doerr.

In April of 1997 all of Major League Baseball retired #42 in honor of Jackie Robinson.

Walking into Fenway Park you will see banners draped along the outside walls of the stadium honoring each player who has their number retired. You will also see them displayed high above right field inside the park, complimenting the Pesky pole.

So, if you are catching a game this year and wondering why a starting pitcher like Nick Pivetta is sporting #37, it's important to know what his options were to select from. Here are the Red Sox retired numbers.
