If they cancelled because they felt like radio stations were abusing power in the ticket giveaways, good for PJ. Hopefully local fans to that show found out the reason for the cancellation somehow, cuz that was pre-everything on the net and I doubt the radio stations took responsibility...

Unfortunately no. They cancelled because of Ed's sickness and the whole Ticketmaster fiasco. It was def a dark time for the band but to their credit they came back and made up the show. and it was probably a little bit of serendipity that the radio stations got shit for exploiting some fans. 95 PJ tix were IMPOSSIBLE to get without fanclub.
also the temp at the show in Sept was hovering around 100+ degrees in the pit..... can't imagine putting on the show in July. and we got to see the Ramones open so everything worked out in the end and the dude in line with me that said he ate dogfood got in too!!!!

1995 Pearl Jam for me was an emotional roller coaster.. I spent a tremendous amount of time and energy procuring tickets to the Phoenix, Las Cruces, Austin, New Orleans, and two Milwaukee shows. 6 in total.. I was 21 and had seen them 3 times on the Spring 94' Tour, so the anticipation for a year and a half after these experiences was nothing less than insanity. I don't think I had ever been more excited to take a trip in my life. On our drive out to Phoenix from South Florida on a gas stop in Austin, Tx, I phoned in to my dad to let him know we were safe, and making good time. At that point he gave me the news that the tour had been cancelled. My heart stopped, and the devastation started to overwhelm me..Remember, we were just kids, on a trip we spent all spring saving for, all spring getting exciting about, getting impossible tickets for, getting packed and driving cross country for a 3 week adventure to see our favorite band 6 times... It is now all gone...................................
We woke up the next morning and started driving home and were driving 54mph in a 55 on I-10 in Louisiana heading back towards Florida and were pulled over and greeted by the Breaux Bridge, La Police in this fashion... "So where are the drugs at boys?" "The dogs are on there ways. Once the dogs get here, there is nothing we can do to help you" Long story short, they stole all of our weed and all of our money and divided it amongst themselves and let us go with a citation.. Completely shakin up after that, and not knowing how to feel after that, with a combination of relief, anger, and sadness we trudged on home...
We had a few remaining travelers checks we cashed in for a flight to Milwaukee, and we were able to catch the two Milwaukee shows that were played when they announced they were back on, and the only rescheduled show I was able to make it to was New Orleans. I suppose given the circumstances 3/6 isn't bad, looking back, but the adventure we had planned certainly was marred by emotional scars along the way.
Just writing this I can still see and feel the excitement and pain of those weeks.. No regrets, Pearl Jam has always been a journey and a story to tell.. I can remember every seat I have ever sat in, and nervous excitement of the moments leading up to the the first note.

Thanks for sharing that. I thought I was crushed when they cancelled the NOLA show. Your experience beat mine by a mile. got to love the backwoods cops. I got stopped the next year coming home from the SC show in rural Georgia somewhere so I totally relate.

What we learned that launching a tour without ticketmaster is insanely hard. you have to find your own venues (which was probably hard back then and impossible now). you have to run the venues yourself including ticketing, merch, services etc....
The tried it. It damn near killed Eddie, but they tried it. They tried to give it to Ticketmaster and ultimate failed, but I love the fact they tried, and that the '95 tour is all about that effort.
I tried like hell to win an all expensive paid trip to see them in casper...I obviously did not win. I listened to casper, red rocks and soldier field the other day: unlock Jack Irons!!!!!
although knowing this band we will get another 2000 show lol.
Is there anything left from 2000 or did you mean that decade in general I do feel a solid '96 show would be ideal since we'd get No Code songs as well with Jack. I play the hell out of that '95 Australia and Chicago show. I feel like '96 doesn't quite have great quality sounding shows available like every other tour year before the official boots. '96 Berlin is close.
This was my favorite Tour for the longest time. It would really be great if the next Vault was something not readily available from this Tour...The single from Red Rocks a few years back really got my hopes up for the full Red Rock show. I've viewed the...nevermind..

Zod, I absolutely love your post. These guys did try and that is why we respect them so much. Never got to see them live in 95 but would also love the next vault to be from this time frame. So powerful and raw.
