Well our babysitter (sister) for Winter & Vedder came thru, and we sat 6th row. I really missed seeing my wife dance like that. Pure enjoyment. Thanks for the memories. Sorry we didn't get a chance to go to the pre party. A Romantic evening alone was a better choice.

Anyone else in the trolley after the show? Someone was blocking the doors, therefore we couldn't move. It was PACKED and we sat at the Grantville station for at least 20 minutes...with no air.

Yes---that was so ridiculous I was laughing. Then we didn't get off on the right stop (duh) and on the next one at Qualcomm a nice couple gave us a ride back to our car but I left my jacket in their car!!! and I don't think they post here -- this was their 1st time seeing PJ. Oh well.....if you hear of a jacket someone lost in a car it's mine!

To Heartdog: my wife and I were seated right above you, and your joy during the show was there for all to see. I had to leave, but she told me all about Eddie coming over to give you the tambo. I'm not surprised at all.

To all the San Diego fans: I may have been the luckiest guy in the room, because I got tapped to sit in on drums. When Matt let me know they were thinking about it, I just about lost it. That night, I started thinking "holy shit, these people are here to see PJ, they don't want a couple of old dogs out here!"

And then I thought, maybe I ought to just trust these guys to know what they are doing. Your comments in these posts make me smile more than I can possibly say. I'm humbled, and still walking about six feet off the floor.

Which is totally freaking out my cats.

And thank you, sir. For being a teacher, for being a good teacher, and for cranking out a quality student.

One of the best things about Pearl Jam shows are the moments that they create for those other than themselves. Sure we buy the tickets and go to the shows and want those guys to musically kick our asses, and they do. But, without fail, every show that I've been to they've given up a moment to share, to thank, to laugh, to appreciate, to criticize, to love. A band with that much heart is a beautiful thing.

Glad for you. You rocked the drums like a pro.

So what kind of wine was it?? I kept trying to read the label thru my binocs!

I was lucky enough to have Ed hand me his wine bottle at the beginning of YL. I took a drink and passed it but didn't keep the bottle, but I kept the cork, and on the cork it reads "Peppoli 2006"

Were you in a white hat? We saw you from the side of the stage and I thought you were 1 of the few totally getting into the music! Some of those people were killing me...if I were front row you'd have to tell me to shut up cause I'd be rockin all night!! Congrats to you!!

I was a few people down from the guy in the white hat. I was wearing a dark green scally cap, and white t-shirt.
But I was totally rockin out as well. It was my first time in the front row and I made damn sure I didn't hold anything back!

Thanks! I'm going to order some - looks like a Wine Spectator 90 point Sangiovese - retails for $25 - so no slouch wine ( 90 WS pts very respectable ) but not super-star priced either. Leave it to Ed to be down-to-earth on his wine. Would have been a bit shocked if it were some super-expensive French bottle....

Hey - I'm being accused of stalking the band here at work. How many others did all 4 LA nights + SD? I know there are lots of you out there!

that stick was amazing. I totally missed Matt coming over to toss em (attention was somewhere else). All of a sudden, I look up and see a handful of sticks arching toward me. In a split second I reach up and just grabbed it out of thin air. As if the night wasn't perfect enough...that just was the icing on the cake.

at least you didn't have the tallest person in the venue right in front of you!

there's a couple shots I feel like I missed...
one of Boom
and a real good full band shot.

Do you have either of those picts? I'd love to get a copy if so.

The Pearl Jam Night of My Life... WOW... Front Row.. DEAD CENTER!

I hit the lottery last night and score SECTION AAA ROW 1 Seats 23 and 24. I still can't believe it. I took my wonderful girlfriend who has never seen pearl jam besides Ed solo in Maui. We were on top of the world.

I could go on and on but I'll tell just one quick story. ED ASKED ME TO HELP HIM REMEMBER THE PARACHUTE LYRICS! Ha.. I couldn't believe it. We were right in front of him and he points right at me when he was introducing the song and said YOU gotta help me remeber the lyrics. OK... here we go. So we're singing the song and Ed starts locking on me and I'm mouthing them as clearly as I can... but then we get to where it gets a little foggy for me... and Ed aparantly and he lost it. We both started laughing and he moved on in perfect Ed fashion.

Anyhow... it was a moment that I'll never forget.

I apologized to him after the song and we graciously laughed at each other. One song later Ed stepped forward and tossed me a pick. I was elated. At the end of the show Ed caught my attention again and shot me another pick to give to my girlfriend. Ed is so rad.

It was SO SO GREAT. I've been so die hard for so long for this to have happened felt incredible. I felt like I won the lottery.

Anyhow... here is link to the vid. Its pretty funny in the middle when he screws up... he blames me. I'll take the blame.

100x Thank you to PJ and Ed.

Seriously nice shots man. Here is a link to mine..all I had was my iPhone - left my camera back home in WA. I was in the first row of the center section behind the AAA section...

My seat was section CCC row 1, seat 1 ~ best part was having the aisle in front of us to move around and rock out. Had a blast! I was wearing the blue Cubs hat and the green Seattle 22 shirt...
