Pearl Jam’s set covered all the bases on Saturday night at the Big Joint (Wells Fargo Center) in South Philadelphia. Fans were thrilled with the mix of deep cuts and singalong hits, and several times throughout the night Eddie Vedder commented on how moved he was by the energy in the room. He also recalled the night that Pearl Jam played the Ten album in its entirety in that very same room. This band loves Philly, and the city loves them back.
