Pearl Jam - April 29, 2016 - Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA

Pearl Jam played their first album "Ten" in its entirety to open the show to honor their tenth consecutive sellout in Philadelphia. A banner was also hung from the rafters next to banners for Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel in the Wells Fargo Center to commemorate. Read the Rolling Stone article about the historic concert here.

After seeing Pearl Jam the night before, I thought there was no way the second night could have been any better. But somehow Pearl Jam always finds a way to step up their game.

With each song played to start the show, the crowd became louder and louder with more energy. By the third song everyone realized that Pearl Jam was in the midst of playing their most popular album "Ten" for the first time since 1992.

I was also able to get my hands on a pair of drummer Matt Cameron's drumsticks near the end of the show. It was a historical night to remember and by far the greatest concert I've been fortunate enough to witness first hand.
