They talk about Dobbs all the time but can't forget the Marquee and a couple days later Wetlands plus the EPIC night at Limelight. F Philly! NYC is where it's at!

Love that Eddie brought up the Marquee show last night! Now finish up the other songs that were played that night tonight! Wash, SOLAT, Garden and Deep!

Nice! My 30th as well and couldn't be more excited. Last night was killer and I'd wager tonight will continue where we left off. Need this day to move faster!!!

Yes I'm checking out some of your posts JP cuz you said you put some details of early shows in.  And YES I'm now BESIDE BYSELF with envy because, not only were you at this showcase, the freakin' AFGHAN WHIGS who I LOVED THEN were on it too???  So. Very. JEALOUS!  And happy, always happy, but damn, to have been in THAT ROOM!

That said, I did see Uncle Tupelo open for the Afghan Whigs, and the White Stripes open for Sleater Kinney, and Mudhoney and Iggy Pop open for Pearl Jam, so it's not like I'm a deprived fan or anything.  Ok, jealousy wave passed now, now I just want to hear all about all of your early shows and your EPIC experiences (literally and figuratively)!

Go look at the ad for the marquee show
pearl jam (formely mother love bone)

eddie mention the marquee at the last garden show. Has no memory of it. Was funny

Too funny that he doesn't remember it at all! I'd guess between nerves and excitement, it would just rush by and be hard to remember after all these years...

Cool though that he mentioned it, I wonder what triggered his thinking on it?

Let's just keep this thread going with all of JP's early 90's stories, along with anybody else wanting to chime in on the early years.
