    I was 16. GM Place in Vancouver on July 19th, 1998. Didn't get to use my 10C seats though; my friend went to get our tickets for us, and she slept in that day (of all days! GAH!) Original seats were in the last row on the side, about 3/4 of the way back, but my friends and I decided to squeak into a section that was closer to the stage, albeit behind it, on Stone's side.

    I listened to them in the early 90s but at the time I didn't find Ten or Vs nearly as compelling as Nirvana. I still PJ got a lot better after that. But it kills me now to think what I missed out on live all those years. I had no idea, until that night in 2003, when everything changed.

    Seriously? How did you like it at the time? Most people I know who were dragged to concerts that young didn't really like the music. Did you become a fan at 6?

    20. It was 11/6/95 (or maybe 11/5/95). At San Diego Sports Arena (Ramones opened). It was the show that was cancelled earlier that year because Ed got really sick up in SF, and also because of the Ticketmaster bullshit.

    I was a Pearl Jam fan at 6-7 after my Mum explained Jeremy to me. (Not that I got to see them until 14 years later.)
    I also "dragged" to many bands as a kid and I loved every moment of it.
    I grew up in a very musically-appreciative family.
