How Old Were You When You Saw Your First PJ Show?

Anyone? I'm always curious when people first got their live PJ fix.

I was 15. June 30, 1998 in Minneapolis. Pretty awesome show...had terrible seats (upper level to the extreme left of the stage). Figured out during Frank Black and the Catholics that a speaker would obstruct our view of most of the band, so we kept moving around the upper level until some kind folks let us squeeze into their row with them (first row of the balcony too!).

How old were you when you first saw PJ?

    18 years old at San Antonio - 4/5/03

    Drove 4 hours to San Antonio with a pair of Pearl Jam fans I had never met before. I was a huge fan before, but after this show, my Pearl Jam obsession REALLY began... 8-)

    I went to the Milwaukee Summerfest in '95 to try to score tix but they were all sold out :( Of course there were scalpers selling tix but at 14 I had a very limited budget :lol: I'll never forget sitting outside those fences, near tears, watching all the lucky people walk in! My next chance and my first time seeing PJ live was at Alpine in '98, I was 17. It's all coming full circle!
