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

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.

He also talked about how the media builds people up and they are so high that they fall.

3/29/94, waited outside the venue for hours the day of the show for more tickets to be released, and they finally were!

So a little more than 14 years ago today (almost half my life, yikes!).

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....

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.

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).

My first show. Sat in the first row balcony really close to the stage. During RITFW, Eddie Smashes through the stage. Here is a video I just found:

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!
