Wet and Rowdy @ Pearl Jam 20

1 of 29

Kicking it off with a still-pensive Eddie Vedder.

"PJ20 was not so much a music festival as a birthday party for Pearl Jam with 12 opening bands. Everyone, including the people who live in the area, seemed confused as to why it was being held in Wisconsin at Alpine Valley. As far as I could tell it was for a few reasons: 1. Alpine Valley holds 37,000 people, the second-largest-capacity theater in the United States. 2. It is centrally located in the middle of the country and generally has predictably good weather over Labor Day weekend. 3. Pearl Jam really likes playing there."
