Hartford 10-25-2013, I was at that show, what a night! I've listened to that boot many many times, crowd energy was electric, and PJ rewarded them with an epic show!

Think other gigs I saw had some superior qualities to Padova but just loved the vibe when the crowd found that Ed was getting back on form. In Seattle now actually geeking out over the sights and places cool stuff happened. Cool to see El Corazon today which apparently was the Off Ramp, and think about their first show where to date I've actually seen their last.

3-10-94. Chicago Stadium, the night I fell in love with Pearl Jam.
The Vic- hard to imagine finally, when he says for a friend, I know he was talking to me after a 6 month mesaage campaign and a neon green play H2I pussies shirt- who says rthey dont do requests/demands

#1 - Osaka, "95. My first show, got to help pull Ed up into the top balcony level, and heard the 1st performance of I Got Id. #2 - Vegas, '00. Needs no explanation. #3 - L.A.'13, night 1. Took my 2 sons to their first Pearl Jam show.

Vancouver 2005 was indeed spectacular. The crowd blew me away as much as the band did. My wife's first PJ show and she was stunned.
Absolutely the best crowd of any show I've been to.

1. Boston Garden 4/11/1994 night before the Orpheum show. 1st PJ show for me and it was EPIC. Did the same lyrics for Immortality that they did the next night. Eddie smashed his way through the stage with the mic stand... epic all around. 2. Hartford 2013 - as has been mentioned many times, the crowd was amazing. 3. Fenway I 2016 = set list was fantastic, but mostly because I got to hear Strangest Tribe live. One of my favorites and I NEVER thought they'd ever play it.

Troubled Souls Unite
1. 4/12/92- Limelight - lucked into this one. Walking by a church on my way to a Sunday work dinner I see that PJ is playing there so I ask about tickets. Bouncer looks at me, in a suit, and says, "I'll give you a wrist band right now to get in later, cause there's no tickets" - Left work dinner early to go. It was INSANE show. I was hooked. 2. May 1, 2016- After a 16 year hiatus from PJ shows (life got in the way, a divorce and subsequent remarriage of a huge PJ fan had me not listening- nothingman will forever kick my ass) I decided we had to see them. Only time in my life I used stubhub for scalped tickets. 3. Wrigley 2 -2018 - closest I've ever been, moved back 1-12 people due to storm kinda sucked but still had a ball.

Even though I'm only 5 months older than Eddie, I've never been a crowd surfing kind of guy. In all honesty I just hung on the side of things and observed the mayhem. That place ROCKED. stage was very small

That is awesome bud. I love hearing about the early shows.
Hartford ‘13 - not a on many ppls radar but I had an amazing time
-- One of the best nights of my life, and louder than f--k.
I’m learning now Hartford ‘13 was noted as one of the best of that tour! Glad I found that show special on my own. My first (large show) GA experience, my husband’s first PJ show, and our only stop on the ‘13 tour since we missed the two Brooklyn shows as we were on our honeymoon (turns out we were better off!),
Will never forget Eddie coming out 10 feet in front of me and swinging to the beat of Pendulum. I’ve only been up close twice, the other being the Vic.
I love that that we were so LOUD that we shocked Eddie!
