18 years ago today... vault #5 please?!
it started for me. front row between ed and mike. still my favorite show of all time. maybe this could be vault #3?
09/29/96 - Downing Stadium (Randall's Island): New York, NY [168m]
attendance: 30,000
support act: Ben Harper, The Fastbacks
set: Sometimes, Go, Spin the Black Circle, Hail Hail, Animal, Tremor Christ, Who You Are, Corduroy, Lukin, Better Man, Not for You, Jeremy (new), Once, Rats, Last Exit, Habit, Rearviewmirror, Immortality, Whipping, I Got Shit, Black, Alive, Porch
enc 1: In My Tree, Even Flow, Daughter/(The Real Me)/(ABitW)/(WMA), Mankind, Long Road, Leaving Here
enc 2: Off He Goes, Present Tense, Yellow Ledbetter
notes: A nearly three-hour show with a raging pit. The band stops playing several times in an effort to get the crowd to settle down. During 'Porch,' Ed duct-tapes his *entire* body and jumps into the pit. (Thought we'd never see that again!) Just before the first encore, someone throws an "Eddie Vedder for President" t-shirt up on stage. Ed looks at it and says, "Well I'll tell you the truth ... I smoke pot! I didn't exhale though!" Stone asks for a chant of "Stone, Stone, Stone!" before singing 'Mankind.' During the encore, Mike starts playing 'Yellow Ledbetter' after 'Leaving Here,' Ed stops him and they go into 'Off He Goes' followed by 'Present Tense!' Incredible setlist.

All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
Nice DS, great videos and shit I forgot how angry Ed was back then!!!
She will... rise above...
I still remember turning to my buddy and saying
"now thats a fucking rock band!" after spin the black circle
then, "lets move back a bit, this pit is nuts!"
Just to give some perspective, I was a deadhead from 1982 through 1993-11 years and that felt like a lifetime
Cant believe Ive been going to PJ shows this long, crazy..................

They did build a new track facility there but it has limited seating and doesn't really seem conducive to a concert. Bummer :(
