Pearl Jam‘s headline gig at last weekend’s Made In America Festival in Philadelphia included a special cover version of Jay-Z‘s classic rap single ‘99 Problems‘.

The grunge survivors were joined onstage by Jay-Z for the performance, which arrived on the final night of the Philadelphia event yesterday (September 2nd), and followed Jay-Z’s own headline appearance at the festival two days earlier.

Fan footage of the cover has been posted on YouTube, and can be viewed below.
