    on the lower Mike side there's a "friends and family" section, that ed points to. I'm pretty sure Ed invited him to come and knew exactly were the guy was sitting. Ed definitely planned the whole thing

    I think Eddie's old gas station boss may be the guy in the Immagine in Cornice t shirt

    So, not worth starting my own thread, and I've mentioned it before on the old pit, but here it goes.

    I've somehow seen every performance of this song that Pearl Jam has ever done. I've only been to 20 shows, and I've seen Rock n Roll star 5/5. Plus I've seen it done by Eddie Vedder w/ Tenacious D, Beck, Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and others at a Tsunami Benefit.

    So if you ever want to hear it, make sure you invite me to the show. ;)

    Now three of these have been in SD/SB, but for the 1995 show (my first) I was just lucky to be on an exchange program from UMass to CSUN for a semester. :mrgreen:

    So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star
    Artist: Pearl Jam
    Composer: Hillman/McGuinn

    Originally recorded by The Byrds, then by countless others including Patti Smith, the Move, Crowded House, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and anybody with a Rickenbacker 12 string.

    Times Played 5

    Thanks so much for posting this. I was there, and this one of the greatest moments I've ever experienced at a concert. The way he told the story mid-song, I felt like I was seeing Springsteen circa 1978!

    I told him he is comin' with me from now on..... his wife is gonna be pissed. :)

    So looks like it was played a 6th time..... I wasn't there and for some reason Pearljam.com doesn't have the set list listed.


    Here it is from Five Horizons .com

    11/04/95 - Spartan Stadium: San Jose, CA [155m]
    attendance: 35,000
    support act: The Fastbacks and Ben Harper
    soundcheck: Act of Love, I Got Shit, Red Mosquito
    Ed's pre-set: Dead Man
    set: Release, Even Flow, Last Exit, Animal, Dissident, Not for You, Rearviewmirror (w/ Who teaser), Elderly Woman, Go, Glorified G, Daughter/(Young Man Blues)/(W.M.A.), Deep, Jeremy, Corduroy, Lukin, I Got Shit, Spin the Black Circle, Red Mosquito, (So You Want to be a Rock 'n Roll Star), Brain of J, Why Go, Black, Alive/(Voodoo Chile teaser), Blood
    enc: Leaving Here, Better Man, Immortality, Porch, So You Want to be a Rock 'n Roll Star, Indifference
    notes: Ed opens the show early with the (then) unreleased 'Dead Man.' Later he quips, "So these are the faces I would have seen if I could have lifted my head up in San Francisco." After a long departure from these sort of antics, Ed climbs the speaker stacks and scaffolding during 'Porch.' He includes a bit of the 'Three Little Birds' tag in Porch, repeating the "every little thing's gonna be alright" line a few times. Ben Harper and Kim Warnick (from the Fastbacks) join PJ in 'Rock 'n Roll Star.'

    The 11/6/95 show was my very first Pearl Jam show. I don't remember that song being played. But yet, it was almost 14 years ago too.

    It was a very short Eddie only version I think.

    I wasn't there but that's the same memories that it evoked for me - Springsteen story telling, with the band continuing to play in the background. Cutest thing ever. Thanks for posting that. Me right now ----> :D

    I believe 4 of the original 5 ten club members are still in the club, and I think all four of them have seen every show. 8-) (One of them missed half a show once).

    Actually...they played it on 11-04-95 in San Jose, CA as well. It was during the encore and Ben Harper and some dudes from the Fastbacks joined them on stage. But hey, 5 out of 6 aint bad!

    This is too funny. Exactly the same situation for me and Long Road. I've been to about 30 shows. About 1/3 of these shows, not only did I get Long Road but it was the opener :D
    So, when people anxiously talk about how much they want Long Road as the opener, I just wanna punch them in the face :twisted:
    :lol:
    Nah, kidding of course. But really, it does get old. And this is not even counting shows that I did get Long Road but it wasn't the opener.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED
