Pearl Jam's original name was supposed to be Mookie Blaylock (after the professional basketball player, of whom Pearl Jam were fans), but was changed after the band signed on Epic Records, as record executives were concerned about the band being named after a professional basketball player who was still playing at the time. In commemoration of the band's original name, they named their first album after Mookie Blaylock's jersey number.
These are photos from concerts where Mookie Blaylock played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
