Pearl Jam Just Played ’Ten’ Live for the First Time Since 1992
Pearl Jam found a perfect way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of classic debut album, Ten, last night (April 29) in Philadelphia. Fans inside Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center guessed a special night was ahead when the band began the show with the first song from its 1991 album right after the venue unfurled a flag celebrating 10 Philadelphia sell-out shows over the years.
When frontman Eddie Vedder led the band into into the album’s second and third songs, a muscular “Even Flow” and mega-anthem “Alive”—songs usually reserved for much later in the set—the nearly 20,000 cheering concertgoers knew they were witnessing the veteran Seattle band power through the entire favorites-filled album in order. Pearl Jam hasn’t played all of Ten since a tiny March 1992 club gig in Munich, Germany.
