I was browsing through all the 2008 Tour pictures, and found the sweetest picture... of the girl and of Eddie. Who was that unbelievably lucky young woman who is hugging/dancing with Eddie Vedder on 06.27.2008 at Hartford, CT concert? Was it a fan? Whoever she was...wow. What a memory that will be for her :)

Oh...to be so lucky. I was browsing through all the 2008 Tour pictures, and thought that was just the sweetest picture...both of the girl and of Eddie.

Does anybody know?

Anyway...back to browsing 2008 Tour pictures...and trying to determine which boot to purchase. Debating on Hartford vs. Bonnaroo...may just order both. Still wish I could get my hands on a 2003 Fargo, ND bootleg. No luck there yet.

    Katie is actually the cousin of a friend of mine who told me about a month before the show that she was getting to the show and meeting the band through the make a wish foundation. He sent me this email about it tonight...

    "When you get a free moment check out my cousin Katie at the Hartford Pearl
    Jam Concert on 6/27/08....She requested this concert through the Make a
    wish foundation. Katie has heart problems and has since she was born. She
    is doing very well right now. Her whole family hung out with the band one
    on one after the show. I have a pair of signed Matt's drum-sticks from that
    night. He gave my cousin 20 pair. I'll tell you more down the road but in a
    nutshell the entire family said it was beyond awesome and that Vedder is
    the kindest man on the earth.

    Go to you-tube then punch in : Pearl Jam-Hartford-6.27.08-Leash

    You'll see my cousin around the 1:20 mark during a lead guitar
    session....at the end Vedder says..ladys and gentlemen our new friend
    Katie......"

    Pearl Jam, a total class act.

    :) PJ rocks.
    Won't let the light escape from me.
    Won't let the darkness swallow me.

    Oh what a sweet story...even sweeter than I imagined. It is so nice to hear things like that. It looked like Katie and Eddie had a very nice time together. Beautiful. Thanks for the replies :)

    Up here so high I start to shake...
    Up here so high the sky I scrape...
    I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest...
    Just like my innocence...

    I really agree, this picture makes my heart warm and fuzzy, haha. :D I can't tell who is enjoying themselves more, the young lady or Eddie. :)

    I think she just wanted to be on the side stage... getting pulled out was a bonus!
