The Canadian Shows 2022

The last time I saw Pearl Jam was 2000 in Toronto ... following the band this week from Ottawa to Hamilton and Toronto has been close to exactly 22 years in the making ♥️
These shows are coming at the right time for me. In spite of the needed wait for reschedule, it's almost providential. I Just finished going through a separation/divorce (I'd qualify that with "painful" but that's sort of baked into the cake of divorce) and limped my way to this week in many ways.
So the slightly bearded guy in a grey hat with a PJ "don't give up" tee, likely grinning like a fool, belting out every word to every song (there aren't many I don't know all the words to), and intermittently holding back tears all night behind the stage in Hamilton, and somewhere in the 100 sections in Toronto, is probably me.
A couple PJ songs that got me through, and hope to hear this week (in a dream, I'd be invited up to sing, but that's just a dream ...)
Hold on
See you on the flip side

I've been a Pearl Jam fan since I was 13 and first heard Ament's opening to Jeremy on the radio. To this day, Pearl Jam continues to inspire and challenge me to not just be better, but to be great.
