UPDATE AFTER THE 4 PHILLY SHOWS:

In all of the philly madness, I thought something to deflect the sadness for some.....


1. Camden #2 1998 - my first of 21 shows, I was supposed to go with friends who backed out the last minute, took my sister and we were off from there - no longer talk to those friends
2. Spectrum 2003 - Awesome set list, great venue and great energy from crowd
3. Spectrum 2009 - Night 4 - amazing! 25th PJ show!!!!
4. Borgata #2 2005 - The 7 hours waiting in line with GA tix did not drive me mad - front row between Ed and Stone
5. MSG #1 2003 - the show was surreal and I love NYC!



share your memories with us!

Ha ha! Aww, poor doompony. Hopefully you add to the list on this tour. And hopefully they play Black so you can remove the sticky note from in front of your mouth. Too funny.

Out of 18 shows, I would say:

1/15/95 (D.C.) - My first time, so that's why.
10/6/04 (Asheville) - Only time front row, so that's why.
4/16/03 (Charlotte) - They started the show with one song off each album and they played In Hiding (which I was convinced I was destined to never hear live) and Breath among others, so that's why.
6/22/08 (D.C.) - Just an epic show with the "I" trilogy and "You" trilogy included, so that's why.
8/6/00 (Greensboro) - Such an underrated show and the only time I got to see Pearl Jam in a town I was living in at the time, so that's why.

Yo dudes, here's my five…

Reno ’93 …first show and probably the most raw. Just got back from my first trip to the islands days before and was still nursing reef cuts and glowing from sunburn. Best show I had ever seen to that point…Loved it when Vedder said: You’re all a bunch of lovely Rats, and I’m proud to be one of you…or something like that, haha.

Oakland ’97…wow this one is almost twelve years to the week. Was getting my first turns in of the year at a Tahoe resort and then shot down into the city to catch the Stones and Pearl Jam tear it up in the rain at the Coliseum..tons of crazyness happening that night.

San Diego ’98…stating any reasons here could be overkill, but flew in from Reno warmed up for the show with some water time at PB then was utterly blown away by the show. Coolest crowd ever, one of the best weekends I’ve ever had and the one show that probably cemented me as a fan forever, or at least casual fan forever..haha I’m not that cool..

Brisbane ’03…Great show after not seeing them since '00, and first time to Oz. Was just coming out of one of those ‘life don’t leave you alone’ patches and the whole trip was triggered when I arbitrarily heard Riot Act at the Goat Hill tavern in Costa Mesa a few weeks before. Really got lucky there

Philadelphia Spectrum 4 ’09…For me it was like a religious experience to finally step foot onto the Spectrum floor. Add in Pearl Jam closing the place out on the last night was almost too much for my faint little heart to handle…haha, great show in a city that is smoking hot at the moment.

Only 15 shows, but man I had to omit some Off the Charts shows to make this list..

Better Dan

Ok here's my new list...top 4 only.

1. Grand Rapids 2006 - 2nd row! 3 hour show! Had Red Mosquito, Sad, Satan's Bed, Hard to Imagine, Sleight of Hand, Parting Ways, Around the Bend and other favorites!! Great show!

2. Benaroya Hall 2003 - Seeing PJ in an intimate venue with excellent acoustics = perfect evening

3. LA 4 - Great Setlist, Great Seats, Great Performance and show

4. Monterrey 05 - Wild GA crowd, small venue and great set with Long Road, In Hiding, Light Years, Off He Goes. Probably the most "into it" crowd I've seen at a PJ show.
