Who would have thought that 19 years later after THIS show that we would be sitting here actually discussing this band! Truly one of the best things to come into my life!


10/22/90 – Off Ramp Cafe: Seattle, WA (Mookie Blaylock) [45m]
attendance: 299
supporting: Inspector Luv and the Ride Me Babies (who later became Green Apple Quickstep), Bathtub Gin
soundcheck: Even Flow
set: Release, Alone, Alive, Once, Even Flow, Black, Breath
enc: Girl
notes: In the first week after their initial meeting, the members of the band that will become Pearl Jam play this show as “Mookie Blaylock.” Jeff steps off the small stage to wander in the crowd a bit while playing during the soundcheck. ‘Even Flow’ is a very unusual, slow version. In fact, most of these songs sound very different and are slower versions, with ‘Release,’ ‘Once’ and ‘Black’ sporting different/early lyrics. ‘Girl’ hasn’t appeared on a setlist since this show.
Never, ever, flipping forget

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    I was 19 & in college (tech school).

    Happy Anniversary Pearl Jam.

    Now what to get them? I think 19 years in bronze. Maybe a bronzed Mookie Blaylock basketball card.
    Next year will be easier, china.

    amazing indeed!
    ahhhhh, i wonder how many amongst those 299 in attendance are still fans? what an amazing part of pearl jam history to be a part of! hope they definitely celebrate their 20th anniversary show next year and that i get to be there! they should probably open said show with the setlist of the original, and close with the same song. niiicccccccceeeee... 8-)
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Happy Anniversary indeed, but this wasn't the only time they played 'Just a girl' live. They played it on 1/11/91 as well.

    Wow, 19 years later and look at us now.

    Happy anniversary, Pearl Jam!! I bet 19 years ago on that small stage at the Off Ramp, you also had no idea that 19 years later we would all still be here. Here is my pledge, as long as you are still here, I am still here. :mrgreen:

    I didnt get to see the show, but did visit the Off Ramp in about 93 or 94 just for fun...It was an amazing thing to picture them there and know that it all started there. I am a big pussy, but this band still gives me chills after all this time! :-)
