What is a Pearl Jam concert?

A better question is what ISN'T a Pearl Jam concert? For me, it's a near-religious experience, an opportunity to talk to cool die-hards, to hear fans screaming and singing along like there's no tomorrow, a kick-ass show, and something to look forward to.

5, 6 guys playing music on stage, to a crowd that has a bunch of people who are at least a bit jaded, a bunch of people who paid cos it seems like a good night out, a bunch of frat boys, a bunch who travel wayyyyyyyyyy too much to see them time after time, and a bunch who spend more time fretting about the condition of the poster than actually paying attention to the show.

A Pearl Jam show is WAYYYY better than any religious experience I've ever had... you guys must go to a pretty hip church!

I'm not a fan of religion at all - stopped attending synagogue in about the sixth grade. I believe in believing in something, but frankly, my beliefs are my own, and aren't shared by most.

We're a LOT alike in that regard, bud.... I've always felt that there was something... but that no one has got it right so far.

I also think a lot of people just seem to need to believe in something, to keep from admitting that there may just be nothing.

It's funny because I went full circle. I was initially of the opinion that religion was merely humanity trying to explain what science couldn't - filling in the gaps. I thought it was a load of crap that would one day be replaced entirely by scientific knowledge. Now, I think science helps me understand religion, rather than battle with it. For example, the principle of the conservation of energy, suggesting that energy in the universe is constant, has brought me to the opinion that perhaps what some people call god is simply the initial unexplainable energy in the universe, and that conscious energy ball morphed itself into the universe we know today. This has helped me comprehend the universe, and helps me feel interconnected with everyone and everything, as well as provided me with meaning. Like I said - my beliefs aren't shared by most

I like it.... and f*cking kudos to you for coming up with your own ideas instead of just blindly following the guy in front of you!

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a USPS box at the venue? Then you could buy it, tube it, mail it, and go off to your seat.

...A Pearl Jam concert is...The real deal. There is no better live band. Everyone should experience one (or 100).
