    Wow great contest - always love the PJ fans that this thoughtful and generous.

    My favorite Pearl Jam moment came before a show in Mansfield, Ma in 2003, during PJ's epic 3 night stand where they played what seemed like 95% of their known catalog. I was with my cousin and my best friend in the parking lot before the show, and as we each said and agreed that we would love to hear them play Low Light - we heard them sound checking it as the song poured out into the parking lot. Coincidentally, at this point, the sun had begun setting over the venue. It was one of those special moments that sticks with you forever.

    Thanks again for the contest!!!

    Another great piece of generosity on the forum! :clap: My favourite PJ moment was a collective one, that being the Euro tour this year. I can't believe it took me all that time to see a PJ show but in the end I saw 4 great ones in 8 days and it eclipsed my entire gig going life just like that! I met so many great people who I now regard as friends and experienced hearing so many songs I once thought I might never hear. From the opening chords of Long Road in Dublin, my favourite song Sometimes opening in Belfast, the huge sing-a-longs during Nothingman, Small Town and Betterman in Hyde Park and the emotions felt during an amazing show in Berlin which I felt really privileged to be a part of. Impossible to pick out one moment from it all as a favourite but I now understand the community that follows the band and feel part of something really special after all I felt this summer..... :D Nice thread!!

    Great offer! I guess what stands out in my mind was buying the tape of ten when I was younger not knowing a thing about the band. It took maybe 2 years later for me to pick up the tape again and my infatuation began..
    Thanks for the opportunity my friend.

    Hey thanx!!

    For me, it would have to be winning tickets to c their sold-out show back in '94 on the radio the day of.....was pretty well reserved in the fact that i wasn't going to c them when luck intervened that afternoon......sitting in a 4,000 seat venue and just looking around as Ed's voice filled the hall during "Release" is still one of my favourite concert going moments of all time!!

    My experience is sharing 8/24/09 with my wife. Her first show, my first brother. She was also 8 months pregnant at the time and was a trooper! Standing through the show. I also hope my son got some vibes in utero

    Holding Yield in my hand on 2.3.98 and meeting my friend who saw it and asked if i liked PJ. we became buds, and 3 years later he intro'd me to the woman now my wife of almost 8 years and mother of my 2 boys. All because of this band!!

    My favorite PJ moment was YL at Philly 4 last year. It was a surreal moment, with the confetti raining down and I will never forget it as long as I live. Quite a first show.

    Nice Lottery!!

    Favorite moment has to be my first. Seeing Ed take the stage in Austin Texas, 1995 in a long trench coat on what had to be a 100 degree day. My first show, which has lead to many more.

    GREAT contest!!

    My best Pearl Jam moment would be the Spectrum shows. The energy of the 4-day celebration that was the end of the Spectrum was an Amazing one. I met so many PJ fans from all over the WORLD, put faces to board names, and helped out at the Wishlist fund raisers. Then, after requesting that Sweet Lew be played for the 1st time, they did it. WOW, almost a year has past........let's do it all over again!! :D

    My favorite PJ memory/moment is by far the 4 shows at the spectrum. The greatest 4 shows at my favorite and 1st sporting venue ever.

    i remember being a kid in early 90's and listening to some poor sound quality audience recordings and having lots of thrills. each show was a huge experience. still have a few tapes that gave me so much joy. those were the days i never forget...
    ...and nothing has changed. simply amazing.

    My favourite PJ moment....

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joxraL34vWE

    Do i have to say more? 8-);)
    Honestly,standing there,waiting for "unknown" to come,being so close to the stage,then seeing Pearl Jam for the very first time in my life,so many emotions,i was like "Wooooooooow,i'm seeing PEARL JAM right now,holy shit!" :o
    This moment will stay with me forever.

    Another thing i remember,very important moment.... i don't exactly know how many years ago,probably about 15 or sooo... i was watching some "Idol" style programme and there was a guy who was singing THE SONG.... i didn't know that song yet,i didn't know the band yet... but straight after the show i started to search because the song was amazing.... And then i've found a guy who owned a cd of that band... He made a copy for me,i took it home and it became one of the the most important albums in my life.... The album is called Ten... THE SONG is called Alive.... The band is called PEARL JAM 8-):D
