    I have many many moments ...
    a favorite is in KC the night before the show.
    I was sitting on our hotel balcony, which we were very lucky to get, thank you,
    sipping wine... had been all night
    I'm literally sitting in the trees ;) the wind is picking up, the light show from
    the electrical heat lightening type storm is absolutely amazing.
    Breathtakingly beautiful and spiritually moving, I'm feeling very connected.
    PJ is playing from inside the room. I wonder to myself if Eddie is seeing this too.

    The next night at the show he mentions it ... I got a funny feeling 8-)

    It's the little things that mean the most :D

    Had a look through a few pages, then decided it probably wasn't a good idea at my age and left. It was a pleasant experience though.

    Nice! I'm very jealous of everyone going to US shows...from the sounds of it, they've been fantastic (few that they are ;) ).

    Even though my body is in pain from standing for 13 hours, we did get rail directly in front of Mike and it was just an absolutely great show and an experience I will never forget. It almost seems like a dream.

    By the way, nice work on starting this thread because this forum needs this thread desperately.

    having just spent an amazing weekend in warsaw with my friends from the tour...I truly am thankful for this community. :)

    when my best friend wasn't able to be at the Philly 4 shows with me and the only song he was hoping i heard was off he goes ..... On night 3 - Ed told a story about Ben Harper being such a good friend and one of the things about touring is they aren't always with their friends when they wish they could be (paraphrasing) and then played Off He Goes.
    it was surreal

    1. Tearing up reading this thread and thinking about how many people this band has touched.

    2. Seeing PJ open for Neil Young with my best friend as my first PJ concert. :mrgreen:

    3. Driving to Atlanta GA from Toronto, with the same best friend, to see PJ at Midtown. And getting to spend the night watching the band I love most with the 4 people I love most...cherished memories.

    4. Driving down to Boston with 2 best friends (Apparently I do not know the meaning of BEST) to see PJ and then on a whim deciding to stay for the 2nd show and blowing off work - so amazing!!

    5. FINALLY getting floor seats with my 10C number for night 2 in Toronto last September AND as a bonus getting to see Neil night 1!!!

    Basically, anytime I get to see them live is amazing... but getting to see them live with the same group of friends for the last 20 years has been so special. THANK YOU PEARL JAM!!!

    And thanks OP...great thread. :D
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    Great Pearl Jam day today.

    Started out listening to Berlin II. Good audience bootleg - Great official bootleg!

    Stopped by the local resale record/video store, called "Disc Replay". Browsing the pre-owned CD's. No copies in the slot, but it's still cool seeing the "Mad Season" section. A little down the aisle, the "Mother Love Bone" section, with five copies of the MLB release. Still more browsing...love this store's Pearl Jam section!

    Every album, including Rearviewmirror and Lost Dogs, with the exception of Ten, Ten Reissue, and Backspacer, had at least one, and most had multiple copies. Not only that, but there are singles issued and official bootlegs too! I decided to take a walk over to the music video section to see what's there today.

    Nirvana Unplugged. Okay, that's very cool. Hmmm...Pa...Pearl Jam Touring Band 2000. Oh yeah, very cool, but I've got that...WTF? Live At The Garden??!! Not available at pearljam.com any more...The mother load!

    Only $16, and it's the only one?

    It will be mine...oh, yes...it will be mine!
    Posimists. Fuck the pessimists...fuck'em.
