my god... its going to be 15 years since i saw pearl jam for the first time! i am getting old. I am just sick of hearing people bitch about MSG shows. So i thought i would start to bitch about getting old.
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.

    My first show as well! This was back when it was damn near impossible to get PJ tickets. Sat at a phone hitting redial only to get a busy signal every time. I think both shows sold out in like 10 minutes. I had to go through a broker and paid $150 for 2 tickets in the bleachers section. Back then this was a shit load of money for 2 tickets. Where did you sit?

    I think the best part was watching eddie sing forever in blue jeans with the thunder and lightning. Between them and the Frogs those were solid shows.

    Remember the days b4 the Summerfest shows. It was back and forth if they were gonna play Milwaukee. Then it came true and I caught the 2nd nite paying $5.00 for a lawn seat with my sister. :)

    My first show was night 2 of this ... 3rd row from the TC. It was awesome.

    Only downside was getting to the hotel befoer the show and telling them we were going to see PJ. She then told us they had a comp pair of tickets the night before but couldnt find anyone who could go... and they played OCEANS that first night!

    anyway - it was awesome... the Frogs w/ EV before the show and then Act of Love, Little Wing, 'new' Jeremy, etc.

    I caught the dead the first nite and then saw PJ in Milwaukee the next nite. I was more into the dead at the time and thought well I'll see Jerry next year. Then when he passed away I was so pist that I skipped the dead over PJ. Serious for a couple yrs I hated PJ because of that. lol

    But that went away and here I am. :)


    Oh and I found this enjoy it all over again.
