edited March 2008 in Given To Fly (live)
September 10, 1998, New York, New York; Madison Square Garden
Opening: Ben Harper
Set List: Long Road, Corduroy, Brain of J, Last Exit, Given To Fly, Animal, Dissident, Jeremy, Daughter/(Mother by John Lennon), Even Flow, In Hiding, I Got Shit, Better Man, Do The Evolution, All Those Yesterdays, Alive; 1st Encore: Wishlist, Rearviewmirror, Hail Hail, Black, Small Town, Fuckin' Up; 2nd Encore: Soldier of Love by Arthur Alexander (1962)


This post is a throwback to a long time ago, the first time I saw the band live, and this board and the ones before it.

Some notes of this day, The Breath campaign was in it's second day, the day after, the people got their wishes granted and the song was performed.


Along with seeing them for the first time ever in MSG, this was also their first time as a band playing the most famous arena in the world, as Ed and Mike had performed at the Bob Dylan tribute only.


I think I shall go looking in my room to find me this boot and listen to it this evening, and remember the sounds and memories of long ago.


If anyone else was there, join me if you wish, and do the same.
I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    The night before or two nights before was at the Meadownloands in Jersey on Sept 8th. I missed that one was planning on going, but my friend could not go, so when the tickets went on-sale, I passed on them, and tried like crazy to get 9/10, was successful at that, and when they added the second night, I got some of the worse seats in the house for one of their most famous shows of all time.

    Have to say after all these years, this show was fucking great.

    Just finishing listening to the first half of it, and you get great versions of Long Road to start the show a kick ass really kick ass version of Last Exit, then later on excellent renditions of In Hiding and I Got Shit, both early in their lives.


    Oh and All Those Yesterdays which even at that time came from nowhere.

    Scroll down. There are both shows here. Download them in FLAC. The quality is a lot better.

    I was there on the 10th. first pearl jam show. I remember getting something in the mail from the 10c to order tix...that was a good day. First row in the back half of the floor. I remember people jumping the small fence to get up front and most getting thrown out. Great show, aside from mike's guitar problems. Got to see some ed mic stand smashing. I forgot about the boxes until now. Where is this boot? I have disc 2 somewhere that I downloaded a long time ago, but there are a lot of pops and crappy mp3 noise.
