7-8-03 - Madison Square Garden - Intro to "I Am Mine"
On July 8th, 2003, Pearl Jam played NYC (MSG) for the first time since 9-11-01. Before "I Am Mine", Eddie had this to say:
“If I could just say, as a representative of the group, I just wanted to tell you that this is the first time that we’ve been here since that big day ago about a year and a half ago. Seemed to change everybody. We were on the opposite coast in Seattle and everybody felt it and we felt it and we had just been through Denmark the year before and we certainly knew what it felt to see loss of life and to feel it deeply. I know how many people, each life affected. So I’m taking the opportunity now, a year and a half later, since it’s the first time we’ve been back proper, just to tell you we were all thinking about you and we think you handled yourselves so great. This song, this song’s about personal safety and the feeling of being secure and even free. It’s called, “I Am Mine”.”
Hard to believe it was over 10 years ago. I vividly remember this emotional feeling coming over me as he spoke and I still get chills when I hear it today.
God bless all who lost their lives that day and the families and friends affected.
