    February 1992 at the Kool Kat Club in Stockholm. I still remember it, it was a good show, and Jeff and Stone came up to me and chatted for a while after the concert. The whole show is on Yootoobe, how happy I was when I found out.

    I was listening to the 2012 Stockholm show the other day and EV mentions how the band played at the Kool Cat Club (in 1992) and said, "I think it sunk." Is that really true? Somehow I doubt it!

    Virginia Beach in 2000, I was 20. Combination of youth, rural Iowa, and being the oldest probably kept me from seeing them sooner. Wasn't ready to "get" them in my teens anyway.

    Dankind...My first show was in April '92, too, at a small club in Orlando and my second show was Lollapalooza in Orlando four months later, as well!!! It was only $9.60 for The Edge show. Who knew I'd be paying TONS more than that 20yrs later off Stubhub for Wrigley!!!

    My first show was November 1991 at Roseland Ballroom in NYC. They were opening for RHCP and Smashing Pumpkins.

    Mine too!!! missed PJ :( I was too hardcore to give a crud back then...thought of PJ as too fashionable? ...my mistake...my friend i went with caught that tour out in Oregon and said PJ blew the roof off!! Did catch them at lollapalooza NJ. Jumped into the pit for RITFW. all kind of a chocolatey taiii blurrrrr, did not know how lucky I was but nevertheless was the beginning of my PJ infection!!!

    That's a difficult question for me. The first time I saw them play was Lollapalooza '92 in Vancouver (I think i was 15). I had just started listening to them around then, so it felt pretty new to me (and one was one band amongst a helluva lineup).

    After that i didn't see them again until Missoula '98, where it was their own show. While I did see them in '92, I feel like 1998 was my first "Pearl Jam" show. I barely remember the '92 set anymore... I remember a little from the '98 one :)

    Have to admit I'm a little jealous of this. I've listened to that show 100 times.

    September '92. Lollapalooza in New Orleans.

    It was my first real, unsupervised road trip as a youth. What a way to step out on the porch and see the world.

    2000. They didn't play very close to me before that other than one time when I was a broke college student.

    2006 caught the very last show of the NA tour. I was 20 and finally had money to pay for tix myself. Missed out on 2003 because a pair of MSG tix that should have been mine were used by an old friend. Then in 2005 I couldn't get AC tix and stupidly did not get them for Philly. Been trying to make up for missed time ever since.
