    Won the ticket lottery - row 1 seats 8 + 9...

    Ed gave me a smashed tambourine he played for most of RIFW...

    Wedding and births aside - the best day of my life.

    Still can't believe this happened and would almost feel guilty if I won again in Vancouver (only other show I'm going to this tour) because I hope every truly dedicated fan gets a chance to have this same experience. Actually I guess that's why they did the lottery -haha!

    Take my number out of the lottery for Vancouver Ten Club!

    Amazing show! Some rad gems in the set and I had 16th row floor in the centre. Can't wait for Edmonton on Friday. September has ruled for PJ fans. I've been meeting some great people at the shows and it's much appreciated. Real World Alpine Valley crew rules!

    I will have to say after 10 pj shows over the last 20 years that this show will go up in the top 2 shows that I have ever seen these guys do. Setlist = awesome, Crowd on floor was amazing - even when Ed jumped in just a few feet from me, people were respectful. No other band I have ever seen has so many nice, respectful and really cool people. Met some great people and missed some old friends!

    Loved the interaction with the crowd, Indifference I have not heard live since before 2000. Inside job, WMA, and the band's fun mood sticks out for me as a real highlight.

    Thanks guys for doing what you do and to this fanclub - I never thought in 1995 my ten dollars would buy me a life style :-D

    That's intersting about the Neil Young riff. It's not the first time that has happened, though. He definitely riffed it at Barrie in the beginning of the song.

    I'm still in shock over the show this past weekend. The highlight for me was winning the lottery, front row center and getting to hold Eddie's hand and support him on the barricade during Porch.

    Unforgettable and amazing evening! Please come back soon!

    Obviously I don't post often, I had some experiences very early on with old and now defunct groups that turned me into more of a lurker, and I also just don't have a lot to contribute as this was only my 3rd time seeing the boys play but wow. Just wow. What a show to be fortunate enough to attend!

    The Sun article pretty much summed up the night, the highlights for me being Porch (probably still my fave song from Ten), I got Shit (the song that finally allowed me to say to my mother; "see? Pearl Jam is so damn cool they play with **Neil Young**! 8-) ), Crazy Mary (I think for those few mins I really was 16 again), and of course Just Breathe turned me into a sniffling emotional mess (Backspacer was released a couple months after my Grandparents were killed in a freak accident, AND my mother chose that song to play at the end of that same year at my step-dad's funeral, so it's a tough tune for me to listen to).

    I had very nice 6th row seats on Mike's side and ended up sitting next to a wonderful couple from Nebraska, everyone was so nice! I wish I was braver and had made a point to meet a few more of the fan club members, but with only being able to attend one show, I was so overwhelmed by it all! My hubbie (aka Mr Surly) jokingly teased that at both shows he has attended with me that my 5'2" self had been seated behind the tallest fan club member at the show -- I am neither young enough nor hot enough to attempt standing on a chair even for half a song before security would tackle me, ( :lol: ) so after craning to see as much as i possibly could (apologies to anyone behind me who I probably drove crazy), hubbie was quite thrilled to see the next morning that i was physically unable to shake my head no to anything cuz my neck had seized up, LMAO! I am probably lucky we didn't end up with a new truck or something on the long drive back up North the next day!

    The evening ended with a really nice walk down Portage, which I haven't done since before I moved away from the city in 2003, we caught some really awesome indie Jazz while we waited for the bus back to my friend's place, and even saw.... a polar bear??? (Ed, have you taken to hiding under costumes out in public again?? ROFL!) All in all, worth every single thing I had to sell in order to pay for my tickets, and I really hope the boys come back again soon - my 4 year old was very disappointed she wasn't allowed to come and see them play this time, so next round, it's her turn ;) Thanks Ten Club and Pearl Jam!!!!

    I was originally going to see PJ in Vancouver and was incredibly sad to realize I had to be out of town on the 25th. I had never thought about going to Winnipeg but it was a damn good decision (despite how much it cost!!).

    My husband and I flew in Saturday afternoon, grabbed a quick bite with a friend and then headed to the MTS Center. Given that I just purchased my tickets through ticketmaster last Monday, we got some seriously decent seats! The show was incredible - every time I see these guys, it's like watching them for the first time. I loved the opening (Why Go - one of my favs) and ending it with Indifference was awesome!

    32 hours in Winnipeg for my Pearl Jam fix. Thanks for another amazing show guys!!
