Ed talking about how all the old classic buildings are getting torn down and one day there will be no antiques...how prophetic, seems like MSG is the only one left
I was a PJ fan then but a Metlallica NUT so I landed tix to the West Lafayette show @ Purdue that same week and gave them to my roomate and best freind since I had just seen them in Chicago a few days before...what a fucking idiot I was. they played an amazing show with Wash (my new song I goot here quest) There were bomb threats...oh man what a dumb ass I was
7-11-95 soldier field was unlike no sho ever, so many people, they played forever, Ed made fun of the radio stations in town, the fucks flashing lights in the sky boxes( these are the rich fancy people right? BOOOS no wait seems to me they're the farthest from the stage and behind a fucking window!) best Ed rip of all time
Milwaukee a few days earlier(fucking missed another classic the maggot brain show) but I did get Neil Diamond and I only Play for money with the frogs(the dude with the dragon costume...fucking classic) not to mention OCEANS IN MILWAUKEE That was the day I wreslted a fat chick and her pussy husband for Jack's drumstick -their quote" Lets break it in half and share it" WTF???? My friend jumps in between the tug of war and ass bumps her off it and we take off running like litttle punks who stole something from 7-11 still have the stick from the God of Skins
Our first was San Diego 11/3/93. We were so blown away we quickly got tickets for Las Vegas 12/1/93. I so wish we would have gone to more, but work and finances unfortunately got in the way. We've since made up for it somewhat though.
"I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
It was my first PJ show, I was 12 years old. Vs. had just come out. They opened with Release in complete darkness, and closed with RITFW with the house lights on, and they played everything in the middle. They even played brand new songs Corduroy and Not For You. I vividly remember them playing footsteps, you could hear a pin drop in the arena. But the reason I will remember this show forever is because it was the day that the body of KC was found. I did not know. EV talked about the incident and dedicated a song to him. I was confused, and the person next to me told me he died that day. I believe the song that was dedicated was "Go," but I am not 100% sure. If anyone knows which song was dedicated, please let me know.
I'd be willing to bet. They had dedicated that song to Kurt a few days earlier in Atlanta, when Kurt was simply "just missing."
everybody wants the most they can possibly get

I've had this show on TV for about 12 years. It is fuckin' great ... "These are the rich, fancy people, right? It looks to be like they're the farthest from the stage and behind a fuckin' window ... "

Mine was May 1992 at Mesa Amphitheater. A local radio station 98 KUPD had a listeners choice concert and tickets were $9.98. Got ripped on Boons Farm Strawberry Hill (we were poor high school kids) and have been hooked ever since.

No, it was Porch. "What the fuck is this world running to, you didn't leave a message, at least I could have learned your voice one last time"
"I dont think any of us would be in this room tonight if it wasn't for Kurt Cobain" Eddie says that right before Porch. It was in my profile for the longest time.
and fuck me if I say somethin you dont wanna hear, fuck me!
and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear
fuck me...if I care...but im not leavin here
Sydney 1 1994
Man what a show, first time Id ever seen the syd entertainment centre full to the brim - every seat was taken and everyone was on their feet 20 minutes b4 they came on. hairs on the back of my neck just thinking about it.
place went farken nuts. as did I and 3 mates. just candlabras acroos the back of the stage some plain stage lighting and the band was SO FARKEN INSANE- I like them before that night, but after I LOVED EM
My mate Chris and I go to every Sydney 1 when they tour, its really the only time we see with each other. Best mates since kids. look forward to the next one
I saw PJ, REM and The rolling stones that year. PJ shat all over them
the first time i saw PJ was in 91 at roseland ny city they were the 1st band of a triple bill along with smashing pumkins & red hot chilli peppers ,didn't get hooked immediatly but once i saw them again in 92 lolla jones beach show that didn't get cancelled i was hooked ....:)

He also talked about how the media builds people up and they are so high that they fall.
wow, I get goosebumps reading this thread. I never got to see them before 2000 and I often think about what an awsome experience it would have been to see them between 92 and 94....

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
I saw two shows in February 1992. I thought they were the saviours of rock music. I was at Southend, and ULU. I then saw them at Finsbury Park in June.
In 1993 I saw them at Finsbury Park again, and the two Brixton shows a few days later.

Paramount, NYC, April 1994, small, awesome venue…about a week or two after they found kc…for all the talk about nyc fans, this one was very interesting, the dynamic between ed and the new yorkers was not good…told them to fuck off at one point, which they deserved, they were being aloof and laughed at him at one point…But it was an awesome show, Stone was the most energetic one there, which is sort of interesting compared to now…new songs, it rocked.
First show was lalla in 92 but the show that stands out in my mind is the SF show with Neal Young. I was in the beer gardens when Bad Religion was finishing there set, witch was about 200 yards from the stage. When they finished I started making my way to the front( this was not easy) After crawling over sea of peps and two barricades I had made it to the front. I think they opened with animal but something was not right, Ed look as pale as a gost and had a small pice of cotton on his left arm. I remeber looking him in the eyes and could see that he was in trouble. Ed announced that he was under the weather and had a special treat for use. Neal Young finished the show. Not long after that show the tour was canceled. I still have my unripped tickets to the LA and SD show (the one with your name on them)
wichita 93, i think the venue held approximately 4,000....tickets went on sale saturday morning, my boss allowed me to take off work thursday and friday, so i could camp out. i purchased the first four tickets...the show sold out in 30 minutes, the entire show was general admission. i joined the fan club the next day.
live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.
great stories, i don't ever wish to be older than i am but in this case i wish i was old enough instead of being in junior high. my only memories of them from these years are whatever MTV played or whatever made radio.

September 1992, Drop in the Park....free show at Magnusson Park. My friend in college (UW) was working security and gave me two last minute free tickets for the show. The show was the morning after the UW/Nebraska game so I couldn't find anybody to go with me since everybody was sleeping in from partying the night before. So, bleary eyed, I walked down to the Montlake Parking lot and bussed to the show by myself. I still have photos somewhere from way in the back. Pretty crazy. Still regret not buying a t-shirt but at the time I was so broke (college kid) that it was out of the question. I still have my ticket stub though (and the unused ticket).
Going into another story...the first time I heard Pearl Jam in public was at a U2 show in Tacoma in April of 1992. Before the show, the tour DJ (BP Fallon) was spinning records and he put on "Alive". I remember a huge roar of approval coming from the crowd and I asked my buddy next to me, "What is this song?" and he said it was Pearl Jam. The next morning I went out to Tower Records and bought "Ten". I've been a fan since (fan of both U2 and Pearl Jam).

Even more memorable was a few nights before my boyfriend was their waiter at a restaurant called "The Fishery" in Central Square, Cambridge. They shut down the restaurant just for them. Eddie had clam chowder and a strawberry margarita. No Joke. They was pasing out RATS stickers (which I managed to lose over the years :( ) and my boyfriend said they were so nice but was too afraid to ask for tickets.

First show was March 28, 1994 Miami Bayfront Park...Show started off with Release... And when they broke into Blood the place went nuts!!...They broke down the fences to the venue people wanted in so bad...I was up front the whole time mezmerized!! I caught one of Dave's drumsticks and when I talked to a close friend of mine the next day he told me he caught the other one..Which I thought was pretty cool..I also remember it raining through RITFW...
Years later through moving I lost the drumstick..Lucky my friend didn't and he gave me his as he knows in our town no one bleeds PJ more than I....Cheers!
Conversations getting dull
