    Currently at 80. Hoping to hit 100 before they pack it up.

    I'm regretting not seeing any shows 2015-2021. Plus, the new norm of no back-back shows and increased ticket prices isn't helping either.

    After 2025 I’ll be at 35 shows, which meets my goal of seeing them the same amount of years they’ve been around. Hopefully I’ll maintain the pace from 2026 on.

    2016 was a great tour but it doesn't seem like you missed much else

    I wish I saw them in 2000 and 2003 but I was young and didn't have the funds.  Have tried to make up for it since!

    27... I only saw them 4 times between '98 & '09, but have been making up for lost time since then. 

    If things go according to plan, I'll be adding at least 3 more between April & May.

    I got caught in a conversation a few years ago between a coworker and a friend I hadn't seen in a long time as I'd moved.  She was giving him shit for having seen Metallica 13 times, of which obviously he knew well enough to pull out the Pearl Jam card... lol.

    I know I've done it many times haha.  I think it's a great ice breaker: if someone says they've been to dozens, you can assume they've traveled, and it's fun to hear where people have gone, what their favorite shows or trips have been, etc.  If someone hasn't been to many or it's their first, you can find out what they're most excited about, songs they hope to hear, etc.

  • 1 to 10
    Jealous of all y'all who have so many shows under you. Raleigh 2025 will be numbers 8 and 9 for me. Just didn't have the time or expendable income for much of my life to travel. The upside is that theft that I've seen so few shows means I have clear memories of each one.

    1996 Charlotte for No Code. incredible experience as an 18 year old. The Fastbacks, Ben Harper, Gloria Steinem. Fighting Ticketmaster and had the weird black ticket with the Bob Marley quote on it. No Code felt like a turning point where the masses had left the band -- those of us left felt like a special tight group. Just all around rad.

    1998 Raleigh for Yield tour. Mudhoney opened. Opened with a Sometimes, Corduroy, Animal combo that left us all floored.

    2000 Virginia Beach for Binaural. A group of us piled into a big van and drove up from Raleigh. Sonic Youth played an amazing set and really set the tone. This was the first North American show after Roskilde and Eddie had some words to say -- it was obvious the band was impacted by that loss and felt a heavy weight.

    2003 Raleigh for Riot Act. Sleater-Kinney! I remember the Gimme Some Truth cover hitting especially hard.

    -----

    next several years went back to school, got married, had a kid -- so while I still bought all the albums and kept listening I wasn't able to go. 

    -----

    2016 Was so pumped for Raleigh, but had to settle for Columbia after the HB2 nonsense. No opener -- Prince died the night before and the guys teased a short Purple Rain. The crowd was weird...

    2020 Gigaton. Had pit tickets to Baltimore and was pumped! Of course we all know how that turned out.

    2022 Flew out to Denver since Baltimore wasn't being made up. Pluralone opened. Chloe/Crown was great.

    2024 Baltimore for Dark Matter. Amazing show and crowd was electric. Opening combo of Can't Keep, Present Tense, Given to Fly, Corduroy had me in tears.

    This is true. I just say many times since 96. I do not care about GA, setlists, tambourines, merch, or posters, and I just want to hear them play.

    If you're seeing other PJ fans going to a show or who were at the show, it's natural to ask them how many shows they've seen and a good convo starter.

    I didn't start travelling to see them until 2009. I get depressed looking at all the shows that I missed that were easy to travel to from home.

    I didn't become a huge fan until Yield/1998. Really regret missing the Binaural/Riot Act/PJ tours

    My first show was Charlotte’96! Introduced me to Ben Harper. I remember Steinem and all of the voter registration tables. What a show! Why didn’t I buy the poster? 🙄 

    I still have my cool ticket stub!

    I wish I had known about the fan club and the access to tickets sooner than I found out.  I joined in 1997 after reading about the club and tickets while being on the Pearl Jam Usenet newsgroup board.

    The lesson is: always read the liner notes!
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Jealous of all y'all who have so many shows under you. Raleigh 2025 will be numbers 8 and 9 for me. Just didn't have the time or expendable income for much of my life to travel. The upside is that theft that I've seen so few shows means I have clear memories of each one.

    1996 Charlotte for No Code. incredible experience as an 18 year old. The Fastbacks, Ben Harper, Gloria Steinem. Fighting Ticketmaster and had the weird black ticket with the Bob Marley quote on it. No Code felt like a turning point where the masses had left the band -- those of us left felt like a special tight group. Just all around rad.

    1998 Raleigh for Yield tour. Mudhoney opened. Opened with a Sometimes, Corduroy, Animal combo that left us all floored.

    2000 Virginia Beach for Binaural. A group of us piled into a big van and drove up from Raleigh. Sonic Youth played an amazing set and really set the tone. This was the first North American show after Roskilde and Eddie had some words to say -- it was obvious the band was impacted by that loss and felt a heavy weight.

    2003 Raleigh for Riot Act. Sleater-Kinney! I remember the Gimme Some Truth cover hitting especially hard.

    -----

    next several years went back to school, got married, had a kid -- so while I still bought all the albums and kept listening I wasn't able to go. 

    -----

    2016 Was so pumped for Raleigh, but had to settle for Columbia after the HB2 nonsense. No opener -- Prince died the night before and the guys teased a short Purple Rain. The crowd was weird...

    2020 Gigaton. Had pit tickets to Baltimore and was pumped! Of course we all know how that turned out.

    2022 Flew out to Denver since Baltimore wasn't being made up. Pluralone opened. Chloe/Crown was great.

    2024 Baltimore for Dark Matter. Amazing show and crowd was electric. Opening combo of Can't Keep, Present Tense, Given to Fly, Corduroy had me in tears.
    My first show was Charlotte’96! Introduced me to Ben Harper. I remember Steinem and all of the voter registration tables. What a show! Why didn’t I buy the poster? 🙄 

    I still have my cool ticket stub!
    I think I still have the ticket stub somewhere and also wish I'd bought the poster. I DID get the anti Jesse Helms poster though and still have that.

    What a great show.
