I'd say my Mom's reaction to hearing EV play Wishlist at Detroit this summer.

Though PJ20 and getting handed a pick at EV's Hartford show are definitely close.

    By far for me is this moment. I was right behind the guy filming this video and It's OK was my holy grail song. :mrgreen:

    The exact moment of fighting through tears to yell "I'll ride the wave, where it takes me" at the top of my lungs at Alpine Valley. That was one of the most perfect moments of my life that I will never forget.

    That's gotta be up there. What a great performance.

    Although PJ20 and EV solo was awesome, Winnipeg was fantastic. My favorite moment was meeting Jeff Ament, Mark Arm and Steve Turner in Winnipeg.

    Having Pearl Jam come to my hometown of Saskatoon again. Which I never in my life thought would have happened even once. Getting sit up front in the third row for the show in front of Mike, the most perfect evening of my life thanks to an amazing ten clubber and person who let me use her extra.

    Also making many great new friends on my Western Canada roadtrip.

    I can only pick one?

    Between

    Ed Solo (night 2)-FOURTH ROW (last minute box office sales) which was my first Ed show

    and

    Alpine/Alpine pre-party/Alpine tailgate-meeting some of the wonderful crazies from this board

    and

    FRONT ROW EDMONTON and Mike shoving his pick in my hand after his solo

    I just simply cannot pick one...each has their own 'special-ness'...but those are the highlights from this year.

    It's been an awesome year...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    alpine valley, night two. Satan's Bed, the look on Ed's face during one portion was priceless
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...
