Charlotte 2000 - too many memories to choose just one from this show, but I'll go with the crowd interaction on Black when Ed got a little emotional during the song
Charlotte 2003 - Ed dissing Creed at the beginning of Green Disease and then eventually spelling out "C-R-E-E-D" instead of "G-R-E-E-D"
Columbia 2008 - awesome version of Alive (which IMO would have been the perfect way to end the show)
I don't feel like thinking back, just wanted to give everyone a huge thumbs up for this thread....wonderful, thoughtful answers. I was surprised the the number of Euro-Australian responses....
Great work!
Thanks

Reading 2006 - First time I saw them. 1 of 3 teenagers standing near me said "Aren't they old" and then sang along to every song word perfectly. Wembley 2007 - hearing Long Road as an opener and thinking "fuck me this is loud. Ears buzzed for 2 days. O2 London 2009 - Release as opener and the crowd erupting as they went into Animal. Crowd was awesome! Hyde Park 2010 - Heard Once, Not for You and Go, although I wish they hadn't played Go as the crowd near me erupted and it became a case for survival. Most insane crowd I've ever been in.

Animal might be the best #2 song that they can play...it's just something that makes you want to smash your face off a stone wall, it's just so raw and intense

good to hear!
crazy crazy day and night, first present tense
I remember saying to my friend after spin the black circle-"now thats a rock band!"
Reading 2006 - Seeing PJ for the first time and crying for Better Man because I was so happy to finally see it.
Wembley 2007 - Taking my best friend at the time to see PJ for her first time and hugging her when they took to the stage. We no longer talk and I miss her sometimes so this whole gig is really special to me.
Manchester 2009 - Seeing the show with my PJ boyfriend and watching his face when he finally got Last Exit... at his 10th show. It was our first show together.
London 2009 - The arm in arm line to Yellow Ledbetter that spread half the width of the venue. Oh and seeing Better Man for the second time and crying again
Dublin 2010 - Nothingman for the first time... yes, I cried :roll:
Belfast 2010 - NO WAY BABY!!!!
London 2010 - The whole damn gig spent with a group of amazing people who danced laughed and hugged all the way through
Nijmegen 2010 - In My Tree ...and being with awesome people for the show again
Berlin 2010 - The view of the audience and stage as the sun was going down behind the venue. A really emotional show for both band and fans.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Nijmegen 2010 - In My Tree ...and being with awesome people for the show again

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

Albany 2003
I Am Mine, my favorite song at the time, being the opener for the show.
Boston 2004
Opening Go into Animal
Pittsburgh 2005
Not part of Pearl Jam's set but Eddie singing Wild Horses with the Stones is my favorite concert moment ever
Albany 2006
Eddie pointing at the River Rats sign, and then the band busting out Rats
Hartford 2006
Bringing back "We Belong Together" at the end of Black, and the first time I saw Yellow Ledbetter
Boston I 2006
First time seeing Release as an opener, and getting ridiculous chills as the whole crowd sang along
Boston II 2006
Dropping the Leash for the first time in a long time.
The Vic 2007
Just being at that show is probably the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me. Love Reign O'er Me's American debut is what sticks out. Every moment was unforgettable, except for playing Wishlist, could have done without that.
Lolla 2007
Singing along to Corduroy with the girl next to me, and realizing that it was "Everything has changed" and that it was actually "everything has chains"
Tampa 2008
First time seeing Nothingman and Light Years
MSG I 2008
All Along the Watchtower and Indifference, WMA
MSG II 2008
Black Diamond
Hartford 2008
Immortality and Fuckin' Up
Boston I 2008
Love Reign O'er Me and that ridiculous sing a long to Betterman
Boston II 2008
Wash!
Philly II 2009
Garden was awesome that night, and first time seeing Nothing As It Seems
Philly III 2009
Hold On, Baba O'Riley, Deep, soooo many
Bristow 2010
Sonic Reducer and meeting some cool people when I was flying solo to the show.
Hartford 2010
Ain't Talking About Love and Indifference
Boston 2010
Crown of Thorns and being shocked when they played Undone when I thought they were going to play Down
MSG II 2010
Starting the slow clap at the end of Black, and hugging my friend when they played Hunger Strike
I remembered today talking to a student from Lebanon at the Hyde Park gig just after the huge Small Town singalong because she'd smiled back at me when I watched her smiling and going mental. I asked her how many shows she had seen and she told me until that morning she had never even heard PJ and her friend had to play her a few songs to persuade her to come to the gig. She kept shouting, How did I not know about this music and she was crying with her friend during Just Breathe. It must be great to discover a band this good and have all those sings still to hear..
