PJ - Easten Creek Sydney 1995

DonJon

Maybe I had too much acid as a kid but I definitely saw Pearl Jam at Eastern Creek Raceway (Sydney) in 1995 or 96 and have since confirmed this with friends - but cant remember the date.

In the setlist area I cant find it anywhere but it does show 2 'Sydney Entertainment Centre' shows.

Can anyone help me out of this trip?

Yeah the setlist stunned me when I found it the other day. Top stuff.

Unfortunately I dont remember anything except for getting bogged in the carpark and muddy clothes. Oh and millions of joints being passed around

LOVE the signature

Which part do you love???

Please tell me its the 'like' bit. Then you can come on my worldwide crusade to stop people saying like. Its even spread here to Australia (I blame the yanks ) and even now to the older/more mature generation.

I swear Im gonna do a PHD on it one day.
