    My best moments (among many):

    - flying a solo mission into Lisbon, Portugal to catch the first show of the 2000 tour. Standing in the middle of a sea of Portuguese people, near the front...not speaking once to anyone...not hearing an English word. Being alone. Reflecting. Swimming in bliss. Smling inside at my accomplishment. Enjoying the warm summer breezes and the greatness that is Pearl Jam.

    - a week later...alone again in London (Wembly 1), standing in the first row on the side while everyone around me sat. I'm jamming out to Insignificance (my fav from that album/tour). Ed looks over, sees me jamming and everyone else sitting, and gives a nice little smile.

    - taking my friend to Detroit in 2000. Sitting 3rd row center. Restoring his faith in rock and roll and lifting his veil of skepticism towards PJ once and for all.

    - surviving Alpine Valley '00 with all my fingers and toes.

    - "The Waiting" with Tom Petty on night 1 in Milwaukee. Electric!

    in Vegas last week. Holding up a Jon Tester for Senate sign and Mike pointing right at us and get Jeff's attention to show him that there are fellow Montanans in the crowd. Good times man.

    Boston 2 2006:
    decided the day before the show to head up there by myself. My friend was already up there for night one and he said he had a ticket for me. Said the seats weren't that great, but okay. We walk in and continue going down to the floor, than towards the stage to 5th row center - dead in front of Ed. I almost died. He wanted to surprsie me. Best moment ever and the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me!

    Can't choose only one. Maybe in order...

    1. When Ed broke into Throw Your Arms Around Me in Hamilton (05)
    2. The beginning of Leash in Cincy (06)
    3. Immortality and It's ok tag in Cleveland (06).
    4. Comatose in Grand Rapids (06).
    5. Given to Fly into sweet greeting into Sad in Hamilton (05)
    6. Untitled in Hamilton (05)
    7. Oceans opener in London (05).
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    1996 Seattle - Key Arena - General admission - place was packed to the rafters. A skinny white boy gets on stage during Alive and just sets between the drum kit and Eddie. The band rips through Alive and towards the end when the music is peaking and the crowd has the Yeahs and fists pumping going, the kid run full steam and does a prefect swan dive off the stage into the waiting arms of the pit. What a prefect Pearl Jam and Seattle moment for us, I’ll never forget it. If you listen to the bootleg you can hear a big cheer go up after the stage diver is caught by the fans.



    Milwaukee I was pretty special for me as well.

    San Diego in 95 when they still allowed moshing and crowd surfing. Was at the front of the pit being smashed-but it was worth it. And it was my first time with my friend MaryJane-if you know what I mean! 18 years old with all my friends with my fresh new Pearl Jam tatoo! Unforgettable! Also-Road trip to Vancouver, Canada 05-the best and loudest crowd I've ever been a part of! Sat behind the stage and it was actually the best view in the house. You just sit back and absorb the band and the crowd-Awesome night-Unforgettable!
