    hearing All Night live (Winnipeg). Kick fuckin' ass.

    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...

    Hello Edmonton first row friend, you forgot drinking Ed's wine and the and of the show ;)
    CAN'T KEEP CRAZY MARY IN MY TREE NO WAY NOT FOR YOU. ALL THOSE YESTERDAY JEREMY is ALONE, SAD with RATS & BUGS it's HARD TO IMAGINE a JEREMY a BETTER MAN.
    LIFE WASTED, BLOOD on the PORCH, LAST KISS is a WISHLIST DEEP DOWN NOTHING AS IT SEEMS WHY GO COME BACK ALIVE SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE and SMILE.
  • For me definitelly is Calgary first row and the moment when Ed give me his pick.

  • 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...

    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:

    We must have been pretty close to you. Same song, different view. Also my favorite PJ '11 moment :)

  • Seeing Unthought Known as the opener here in Chile is kind of obvious, that's why I'll go with watching PJ20 at a completely crowded cinema, with my girlfriend (kinda new to PJ, and not necessarily the biggest fan) laughing along with all the people there and being amused by the movie. That's priceless to me.

    argh! yes Niko! :wave: drinking Ed's wine...my friend who was at the Vancouver show, won 2nd row lottery...she got 7 picks, but is more jealous of me getting wine! :lol:

    Phenomenal thread. Amazed at the limited number of repeats:

    After 8/10 Canadian shows...

    All of Toronto 9/11... especially "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns." It closely beat out Edmonton 9/23 "Wash." Both firsts.

    And all the new friends met.

    Watching the PJ20 "webcast" via Gary's phone on Justin.tv has to be the best memory and the worst, because I was so pissed I couldn't get off from work to make the trek. It did ease the pain a bit though. :D

    Now if they would just release the box set we KNOW is coming...

    Release PJ20 Night 1....the adventure trying to get tickets, the anticipation for that weekend, the huge line at the 10c ticket pickup on friday, the rain throughout Saturday, when PJ finally went on stage it was perfect and something i'll remember always.

    what he just said. :D


    Yeah....Release Night 1 PJ20 I had tears coming down too. Had an awesome time in the parking lot in the rain all day with friends and then the second I heard Release start to play...well...it was one of those moments.

    Being at Alpine Valley on September 3, 2011, to see Pearl Jam play live for the first time...hearing the first notes of the first song, beginning to hear the excitement building under the sounds of Eddie Vedder's voice..."Ohhhhh"..."Ohhhhh"...

    "I see the world/Feel the chill"...beginning to feel the chills...just incredible! Never imagined it to be as it was!!

    Been trying to fit in twenty years of Pearl Jam into each twenty-four hours of my life ever since.
    Posimists. Fuck the pessimists...fuck'em.

    Sitting very close near the front of Eddie Vedder during his solo shows in Perth, and experiencing that whole show. Amazing! Also, seeing and hearing Alive at the end of Pearl Jam Twenty when we saw it in the movie theater... I felt so happy and emotional...great moment!
