I wanted to share how much the bands music means to me and I don't know how.

in The Porch
I can't. I started typing and then erased it. I cannot express it in words, I don't know how. I am a grown man, been a fan since I was 10. This is ridiculous.
Some may say I am not as big a fan as those that have seen them live 5, 10, 50 times because I have never seen them live, but I am. I have not been loyal to the 10c. In fact the first time I ever joined was a few years ago when my wife surprised me with a year subscription and got me a shirt and a bunch of stickers.
Something told me to reup my subscription this past September, I don't know what or why, but I did. I am so glad I did. I was able to get tickets through the 10c for the upcoming Raleigh, NC show and this will be my first time to ever see them live and I cannot put in words how excited I am. I am going to share this experience with my Wife and again on the second night with my Wife and my Son. The seats are not the greatest but I really don't care. I don't know if I believe in fate or not but whatever got me to this point I'm grateful.
I used to be able to articulate feelings and emotions in words better when I was younger, I guess I'm just getting old or something, idk. I hope I don't get emotional at the show, because I basically did writing this. I want to just delete this post but fuck it, I'm going to send it.

Song Wishlist: Oceans, Brother, Alone, Let Me Sleep, full W.M.A., Hold On, Bugs/all of Vitalogy, Gremmie Out Of Control (BAM!), Mankind, Around The Bend (full band), Whale Song (DOUBLE BAM!), The Long Road, Don't Gimme No Lip, Pilate, Push Me Pull Me, All Those Yesterdays, Rival, Parting Ways, Ghost, Bu$hleaguer, WWS, Parachutes, Army Reserve, low octave Driftin', Strangest Tribe, Other Side, Undone, Fatal, Hitchhiker, Education, Black Red Yellow, Of the Earth, Love Reign O'er Me, Gonna See My Friend, Amongst the Waves, Santa Cruz, Infallible, Yellow Moon, Alright, Comes Then Goes, Got to Give, and the Mamasan Trilogy.
In addition to that, Dark Matter came out of the blue, and is a stellar album, in a collection that already includes several stellar albums. I have not had this same experience with other bands. I am very grateful, and even though we pay for the music and concerts, it feels to me that the value Pearl Jam has given is greater than the money that we spent.
you are going to absolutely FALL HARD for PJ live! They are so fuckin amazing live, all the feels and all the 90s angst rolled into one amazing band. Have a fantastic first (of many to come!) show!!! 🤘🤘💜
Just be prepared for an addiction once you have been to your first show 😀
You are going to have so much fun, that is great.
Nobody is a bigger fan of the band or music just because they have seen them live more than someone else - it is music and for the individual to do with as they wish.
Viewing together is bumping into a lot of other people who are passionate about the band, and that is all sorts of fun. You will no doubt become one of those fans that rejoice in the opportunity to see them play live again and again!
You articulated yourself well. Thanks for posting.. It's nice to have some more company here.
What bring the waterworks? (Asking for a friend)

It's not easy to do.
RE: expressing in words how much they mean to you.... it's not uncommon for me to tear up hearing Long Road, or Off He Goes, or a few others when played live... I get it. It's a wonderful thing.
Have a blast in Raleigh but be warned... you're going to want more.
But if the band wants to guarantee the waterworks here, they should play Immortality. Sobbing guaranteed.
Enjoy your first show. My first was when I was in high school in 1996 and I was a fan (had Vs on cassette/knew the radio songs) but wasn't nearly a diehard until after so I didn't know a lot of the songs that were played that night. Going in having been a long time fan would be awesome.

Fast forward to 2014 in St Paul. Pendulum -> Release opener. I always thought Oceans was the only Ten track I hadn't seen live (didn't keep track back then). But my heart knew. As soon as they started in on Release, I started weeping openly.

Then you can wear it Hugh.
You and everyone else here!! One of the million reasons I love PJ…they know how bring out the raw emotions in us all
