This could be actions of fans or the audience that was wierd or odd, or actions of the band members.

I wasnt at the show, but the one where ed threw a pick at mike or stone, and was pissed could be on such a list.

Or the san Fran show of 95 where ed left and uncle neil took his place

    i think the Boston Puker incident deserves a nomination here, so i'll go ahead and say it.

    McCready in assless chaps also gets a nod.

    I was at the Hershey show where some 14-year old girl kept flashing her tits, and Eddie ripped her a new one.

    Probably not the #1 Most Bizarre, but I was at Minneapolis 98 and Stone started All Those Yesterdays and his guitar totally cut out. A tech ran out to fix the problem and Eddie said, "take your time - we'll wait". The crowd cheered loudly and then for some odd reason the crowd started just going insane. We kept up an arena-wide screamfest for a few minutes straight while the band was completely silent. Eddie almost seemed puzzled and he said, "we should fuck up more often!" People just get really excited to see Pearl Jam...

    No one else seems to remember this, but at San Jose 95 (the make up show for SF) while waiting in the queue out front, 1000's of fans began throwing anything and everything they could get their hands on into the air. food, drink, shirts, etc. The worst was some guy who took a piss in a gatorade bottle and then threw that into the air. My friend and I just stood in disbelief wondering what caused this spontaneous act of craziness. Keep in mind this was around 10a.m. so the majority of the crowd should have still been sober.

    I think is was Wachovia '05... before the show started some drunk kid got into a fight with an older guy (40's or early 50) in the upper deck. It was a sight to see

    i am guessing that people weren't mentioning this out of respect for what happened.

    my most bizarre moment would have to be in grand rapids 04. security was so lax that myself and several others were able to just wonder over and take the empty seats in the first couple of rows on Mike's side.

    i think the youngest security person i saw there was maybe mid 40s. i was that close and still didn't walk away with a pick. and i still kick myself for not picking up a poster.
    My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day.

    The Neil Diamond song was at the first Milwaukee show. Eddie teamed up with Thunder and Lightning to do "Forever in Blue Jeans." I thought it was pretty good actually, not bizarre at all.

    Ann Arbor 94, ed opened the show sitting cross-legged on stage, burned the cork of a wine bottle, and gave himself raccoon eyes with the charred wine cork. Quite peculiar.

    I was at the 1998 show in the Portland Rose Garden.

    This was shortly before the Do The Evolution video was released. So when they played Do The Evolution, they raised a screen and broadcast a little mini-movie that was similar in animation, but was not the music video as we'd come to know it. Ed said something about "We're going to try a little experiment here."

    I think it was the first and last time Pearl Jam ever played live with a video running behind them. It didn't go off without a hitch. The band finished the song before the video was done, then it clicked off and the screen went blue. It seemed to me like this was an earlier version of the Do The Evolution video because what they released was similar but different. And we all know that the live version of the song is much faster than the studio version.

    Anyone else remember this?

    That wasn;t bizarre that was a tragedy that could have been avoided if people would have respected each other and taken care of each other
