    28th. I remember the trifecta of awesome that came out around that time. Badmotorfinger, Ten and Nevermind. I had a group of friends that didn't get any of that music, but I did, and quickly lost all those friends. No matter. Got new friends and am still tight with some of them.

    Looks like 29 years. Started as a Mother Love Bone fan and we all know where things went from there. I seem to recall my buddy getting a dub of a demo before Ten came out? It's been so long I can't remember exact details.
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.

    I distinctly remember grade 9 age 14 putting up a picture of them in my locker.  That probably would of been the first half of '92?   I knew them a little going into Lollapalooza.

    So '92 to now.  28 years.  Probably like everyone else as they exploded that year :)

    29 years! Oh man, it’s been awhile.

    Heard Even Flow in a friend’s car, and just thought, “What in the world is that?” I was hooked and that was it!

    First show in ‘96 in Charlotte, a great live start!

    30. Then again I count Mother Love Bone's release of Apple in 1990. I was devastated when Andy Wood died and was ecstatic when Stone & Jeff regrouped with Mike, David & Ed first as Mookie Blaylock and then as Pearl Jam. ❤️

    I remember hearing Even Flow the first time too.  I was so excited to share it with my older brother.  I remember walking into the movies after having played the tape and telling him that these guys were going to be big.  I don't remember being blown away though.  Music was already changing, thankfully.  I do remember the first time we saw Man in the Box on Mtv.  THAT blew me away because it was not friggin' hair metal.  That felt astoundingly different to me.
