Last night, Pearl Jam kicked off an extensive 25th anniversary tour with a performance at Ft. Lauderdale’s BB&T Center. The band has extensive tour dates planned throughout the year, including headlining spots at festivals like Jazz Fest and Bonnaroo. It all began with one rocking, 33-song show at BB&T.
The show started with the song “Go,” a tune from their 1993 album Vs. With that, they truly did “Go,” launching into a lengthy set that featured a diverse selection of the band’s originals and choice covers.

The “Light Years” was also dedicated to a crew member, Tim “Skully” Quinlan, who had passed away earlier that morning. Quinian was a guitar technician for the band in the 90’s, and the emotional tribute was just one of the many immersive moments connecting Pearl Jam with their loyal fans.
