What was the first PJ song you heard LIVE and how did you feel?

negationist

was in Dublin this year. And they opened with Inside Job. I'm not a big fan of the new album, but maybe it was the first time i'd ever see them live but i loved the whole thing. They're even better live than they are on the records, n that's a pretty hard thing to beat.

Breakerfall, and I just couldn't believe it

"Sometimes" in Dallas in '98. It was the infamous Rodman show, so the night only got more and more surreal. I was sittin apart from my friends because I had to buy a scalped ticket outside. Alone, but in a GREAT place until the guy who sold me my ducket walked by and sat down (he was a WEIRD-lookin dude-only a couple chicklets left in his grill, dirty ponytail, waaaay creepy). I remember watching Rodman walk out in nothin but the huge straw hat and NC blue bball shorts; I was thinking "no way that's Dennis Rodman"...

It was an amazing feeling. I had been into them ever since Yield and I was finally watching them live. I didn't really know what they looked like or anything back then. I was 14 or 15. It was in a beautiful venue in Los Angeles called the Greek Theatre.

actually i got to my first pj show late (long story), the first song i actually heard was the tag to daughter at the 9/10/98 show at msg. even though i was upset to be there late it was a great moment when i first walked in to the garden and had floor seats. awesome

The first song at my first pj concert was Release in Arnhem. It was such an intense feeling, I couldn't even sing along because I was shaking inside. Incredible....

Inside Job in Dublin.

I just stood there with my mouth open, not believing that I was finally seeing Pearl Jam.

I was quite pleased aswell!

LAST EXIT! Woooo!
Polo Fields~SF 95

What a wild show! As far as hearing my first PJ song live...wow, of course the heavens just parted open and I was fuckin HOME! Serioulsy life changing moment right here! The first time expericing this rush of adrenaline...the first dose of the drug that would soon rule my life! Wow. Beyond intense. I do remember it actually being pretty crazy though. We were all going completley and totally apeshit. I remember it was HOT as hell that day too. This was a GA show (as they were back then) and the entire crowd was bouncing up and down, as one GIANT force. It was WILD and rough up there in the pit! I think I was actually hovering above ground for most of this one.

PJSEMPRE

Mine was Long Road in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
It was a dream. I couldn't believe that I was seeing Pearl Jam for the first time in my life.
The line "I have wished for so long..." was perfect for what I was feeling that night.

It was breakerfall (11/25/2005 -> 1st time they come here to Argentina) and I was shocked, so happy that you can't imagine how much... just full of life!

"go", this weekend at athens well in fact it was master/slave on the sound system first. that doesn't count really but it made feel like "oh my god, this is actually happening, the boys will be on this stage in a couple of seconds, the great wait is coming to an end!", and i thought "once" would be next actually. but when "go" kicked in i was like "this night's gonna be huuuuuugeeee !!!"
