    It was 1991 I was 29 working in Ann Arbor, Michigan when a co-worker wanted to walk around downtown one night. I heard 'ALIVE' playing and said I love this song lets go in this bar (The Blind Pig)
    they had a cover charge because of the live band and I said "no fucking way Pearl Jam is playing here"
    the door man let my friend and I go in free because the show was half over & we had to stand on some chairs in the back row. after 'Alive' they played 'Black' then 'Jeremy' - I've loved this band & it's fans ever since. now my whole family and my best friends are big Pearl Jammers. I have taken my nephews to their first shows at age 10, 14, & 16 and they loved it and now have alot of their friends into them! Mike has thrown guitar picks to them and Eddie has even pointed to the little one who was singing & dancing wearing a 'Avocado' shirt and said "that's awesome"

    19. June 18, 2003 United Center Chicago. Seats in the upper deck behind the stage. Stared at the back of the bands heads for 2 and a half hours. The obsession began that night.
