Watch: Pearl Jam & Jay-Z perform ’99 Problems’

Pearl Jam headlined the final day of Jay-Z’s Made in America Festival in Philadelphia last night and the set was notable for a few reasons. First, it was the band’s first of only four shows in the United States this year. Second, the band was hand-picked by Jay-Z to play his festival. And the third and final reason this set is notable is because it included a collaboration between Jay-Z and Pearl Jam.
Yes, you read that right. Hova collaborated with Pearl Jam.
More specifically, the band and the Jigga Man played “99 Problems” with a dash of “WMA” thrown in during Pearl Jam’s set. In case you don’t believe this actually  happened, watch the shaky fan-shot video above.
