After much anticipation, Wu-Tang Clan returned to Philadelphia for two 25th-anniversary shows at the Franklin Music Hall.

Legendary rap group the Wu-Tang Clan performed on stage Thursday night at the Franklin Music Hall - one of the rare times that the entire group reunited for a show, in celebration the 25th anniversary of their debut album "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)." 

They performed the album in its entirety, something that hasn't happened since the early 2000s. 

The group will perform their second show Friday night before heading back to New York City for two shows this weekend at Terminal Five.

Here are some photos from last night's much-anticipated reunion show.
