'98 was good. My second show (first in 93 on the Neil tour), so my first full blown PJ show. Knew about the fan club for years, but never joined and didn't know about tickets through the club. Got in line to buy tickets for the Portland show Saturday morning around 6:00. Was third in-line and still got row 22. Met some great guys in line who informed me about the fan club and they were using their ONE ticket request for a Seattle show since it was easy to buy your local show then. I joined the 10C shortly after.
Show was amazing. Went to buy a t-shirt and saw this cool looking poster hanging there and bought it (although maybe that was a bad thing since it started me down the poster collecting path).
2009 is turning out to be a pretty good year to be a pearl jam fan, expensive but worth it. good shows coming up, new album on the way the re issue of ten which was a damn aweosme boxset drop in the park on vinyl love it! n this will be my first year seeing pearl jam abroad! i have much love for 2009!
98 was when I finally got my ass to a show. My parents finally stepped up and helped me get there. My dad picked me up at school. Four hours away from the show. Took me to mom’s and she took me the rest of the way.
And yes. Yield is my favorite album. So it was sweet I got to see a show from that tour. ...and it was my first.
great profile pics pjbugs007 and YoullseeDragons!
*~Pearl Jam will be blasted from speakers until morale improves~*
1998 was epic for me as well. me & one of my best friends roadtripped & caught 4 shows in a row--Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City & Dallas. we had such a blast.
really? saw my first 3 shows on that tour so it will always be memorable but i think the band lost a lot of momentum after roskilde. the euro shows were mostly killer but the us shows seemed a little lackluster....outside of a few choice gems.
i did love the guitar tones on that tour, especially stone's. he should start playing the electric on black again......crazy mary too.
i have a paper here that entitles me to fast track status
ohhh those were the good ole days! my favorite tour. my first extensive tour. Hell I went on tour that summer! i think i hit up about 15 shows that tour and loved every second of them!
I had the best tickets that tour...2nd row a few times....columbus and st louis were damn near center stage!
covered some ground...covered some miles...so many memories! never got me a yield sign though
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this
all-encompassing trip?
DOES ANYONE HAVE A VIDEO OF Continental Airlines Arena 98 show?
I was front row and Ed and I had in interaction that is on the bootleg, but I'd love to find the video. I have an old 100th generation VHS of it, which you can't see a thing.

St. Louis- amazing show!
Kansas City
Indy... another great show!
great shows, fun road trips, great album, great seats, great posters (st.louis is my all time favorite), and great memories! I still remember when the band finished the Chicago show with baba and the place went ballistic!
1998 was also the year the world got to see the first trailer to Star Wars "episode 1" in November! so exciting!
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

The best PJ ever was (for me) was Lollpaloza '92 August 8 at Great Woods in Mansfield, MA. They came out and basically played all of Ten. I have never seen a show as great as that. That hooked me as a fan for life.
The second best was at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles in July of 2006. That was an amazing, soulful show.
Just got tickets for three out of four nights at the Universal Amp. Can't wait!!
While I can listen to both straight thru, only on VS am I not tempted to skip a song here and there.
ten is better,,but for sure vs is away better that yield...and what can anyone say about an album opens with GO!!!JUST FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense
just sayin'......
the *best time*...is right NOW.
why?
because right now...is now.
1998 is the past. can remember it, can relive it in your memory...but it is the past.
i'll take the 'present tense' thank you...and you bet, the future.
and yea, i wasn't even a fan back in 1998.....so my 'best time'....still now.
it's all we've got. yesterdays' gone...tomorrow is promised to no one.
enjoy TODAY!
yes, that is true but it is important to remember the past.
also, your signature sends the message of looking forward to the future, no?
Yield was a triumphant return for the band (no one liked No Code, at the time)
Wrong. Everyone I knew loved No Code. It's still the favorite of myself and most of my friends.
Even the band made fun of No Code for it's poor sales. Real PJ fans loved it, of course, but the general public disliked.

Ed was really getting to be a better singer, but still had that scream/growl when he needed it.

Agree, I am actually listening to the first PJ concert I ever went to in 2008 at the Target Center in Mpls. It was the hook that brought me into being a huge fan. All those yesterdays and EV messing up Betterman and the crowd singing as he never did mess up, priceless!!!

Show was amazing. Went to buy a t-shirt and saw this cool looking poster hanging there and bought it (although maybe that was a bad thing since it started me down the poster collecting path).
The tour was great as well I went to the Camden Shows,MSG and Constitution Hall
I'm pretty sure it was the band's first return to the Philly area in like 6 years
9/11/98 Show at MSG Eddie flung the mic cord over a set of lights on stage and started climbing the mic cord about half way up during ALIVE
I remember someone brought a HUGE Yield sign to the Constitution Hall show and Eddie signed it for him
Definitely was one of the best years for PJ and us fans
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
So that means you think that Binural, Riot Act or Avacodo are better than Yield, No Code, Vitalogy, Vs. and Ten.... uh... NO
And yes. Yield is my favorite album. So it was sweet I got to see a show from that tour. ...and it was my first.

i'm still searching for that one & the '98 KC. that's a lot of coin to spend on a poster, though.

There was a big stink about it

A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
it was never about then
its always about right now
YES it was
Best seats I'd ever gotten
