The best concert You ever attended, which band, what city and what made it so special? For me it was Godsmack / Staind and Cold - Eastern Michigan University! Front row the whole concert. Last song of the night Godsmack "I'm doing the best I ever did" I played the bass guitar the whole song it was sweet. Standed on stage looking at 25,000 screaming fans. I've seen PJ seven times and they all are a close second.

Pearl Jam in concert for my 22nd birthday...we had 2 cases of 22 oz.'s in the fridge at home...among other 'forms of encouragement'...Pearl Jam completely brought the fuckin' house DOWN...
the only thing that could have made it better was to meet the fella's...but all in all...I cannot complain. Night to remember!

It was raining all day but when the played Whar=t a wonderfull world from Louis Armstrong, the rain stopt and there it was a rainbow!!!!!!
After that it didn't matter any more that you were wet till your bones and that you probably gonna bee sick the next day.
When all else fails, read the instruction

Most energy I've ever felt in a crowd-it was electric with 8,000 fan club members!
*May the Peace of the Wilderness be with YOU*
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

One of my fave shows is still Nick Cave in Montreal 2002 with Neko Case opening, one of the most intense performances ever. He blew me away.
Awesome seats, great setlist, great vibe between crowd and band, intense show and i got Eds tambourine
Honourable Mentions
Smashing Pumpkins- 1998 Mellon Cholli tour
Nick Cave at Homebake in 2003 - awesome, didnt know any of his stuff but he was awesome
Splendour in the Grass - 2 day festival - John Butler Trio, Powderfinger, Placebo and COldplay were awesome
Ben Harper - Front row in 03
Radiohead - waited so long and even though Thom was sick it rocked!
St. Paul - Xcel Energy Center
My first (and only :() PJ show...simply amazing.
"Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone
"I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV
lets raise a toast to belief....
Pearl Jam, May 2nd 2003 Buffalo comes in a close 2nd
AWESOME...
first Teenage Fanclub show in Brazil...
That is why I'm singing
Mars Volta played two songs during their one hour set, with only a 5 second break. They were really amazing to watch.
A Perfect Circle played basically every song that they have, and they rocked really hard. Such an amazing band to watch live. I'd go see them again in a heart beat. Their drummer played with a broken leg and was still dead on.
2) Pearl Jam - Atlanta
3) Creed
Had front row for 1) and 3) Kicked ass...worst seats were at PJ, ironically most expensive...$300, sheeiiiit.
METALLICA
GUNS N ROSES
FAITH NO MORE
also loved white zombie concert in 1994 and korn too a year or so after. but cant help remembering at the metallica concert, how good faith no more was live, they rocked,. metallica was my all time fave band until the day i heard pearl jam...........
it's only after you've lost everything ...that you are free to do anything....(Fight Club)
... I'll ride the wave...where it takes me....
Even the girlfriend of the lead singer did no applaud, she usally does.
I had talked to the guitarists before, a bit about led zepplin cream and about playing guitar, you know they play awesome.
And every time i looked at them they smiled at me.
So to sum it up: I was in fact the only person listening, and I was extremly near to the band, so that was fuckin intense.
I guess I prefer this short concert to a pj front row concert.
When he was six, he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By nine, he deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact, no trade-backs
So this is what it's like to be an adult?
If he only knew now what he knew then
though i do have a comment on one of my last pj concerts @ alpine valey,east troy WI
i really hate those sing alongs mFs i wish people have more frigin taste to realize when to sing along and when to shut the fuck up cos i didn't pay money to hear them drunk cock suckers and i didn't drive for 2 or 3 hours to listen to them pollouting the air i breath needlesly to say the way that every body behaves so stupid and so Obnoxious cos sadly most of concert goers here think it's all about drinkin and the more u drink the better it gets
how in the fuck would you enjoy a concert when you've been drinkin and sitting in the sun from like 1pm till 8pm . by the time when the concert starts u'll be drunk off ur ass and hung over like a mother fucker i guess this applies to like 70% of the attendance still the rest would've acted the same way if they didn't have to drive
in conclusion my best pj live ever was in milan , italy i wont tell U how it was just buy the cd and find out for yourselves
has taken control , let's beat it get up let's go
why u're in your own world let's see the whole world
plese pick up my souuuuuuuuuuul
a few are #1-like because of kick-ass seats (front row in philly and dc last year). one was #1 for emotional intensity -- knowing you're going to end a relationship with the person you are currently wrapped around crying to black in the pouring rain (randall's island 1 '96). one was #1 for the fans around me sharing the feeling of being one in the only place any of us wanted to be (well, i guess that can be all the pj shows, but particularly BN2 '03). one was #1 for seeing pearl jam on my birthday (jones beach 2 '00).
but i guess you can only have one #1. so i'd have to say it was msg2 in '98. that show fucking brought the house down. i felt that floor move years ago... just took a while for pj to feel it, i guess
You loved it! I play 1 good tambourine baby!!!! Listen to the boot during YellowLedbetter and little wing.

It was my first PJ show and had the best energy ever. Plus, this was a special show that Ed wanted because it was an election year and Jesse Helms was running again.
if I could only get this show on CD or DVD...Can anyone help me out?? <<BIG LARGE SMILE>>

I've seen them 6(and counting...) times but that had to be my favorite just because it was the BEST present i could EVER get...though the other times I saw them come in a close 2nd...I highly recommend seeing PJ live.
