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?
I definitely remember this! Not in the same great detail that you did about it ending early, but certainly the fact that it was Todd Macfarlane images being played behind them.

a bit strange-the guy walking around lolla pearl jam crowd with brown joe dirt hair (not just an old mullet but really extreme joe dirt style), i thought it was pretty funny -pointed it out to the kids, next thing i knew "joe dirt" was up on the big screen, jam crew must have gotten a look at him too, whole crowd cheered.

"This could be actions of fans or the audience that was wierd or odd"
A "Go Leafs Go" chant was started at the Toronto '05 concert. As far as I was concerned, that was kind of odd, so I started my own loud, drunken, one-man "Go Sens Go" chant that got the attention of my entire section. The Make Beleafs haven't made the playoffs since.
I went to a show this weekend in Ventura (I promised my sister I would go with her). The show ended up being in the same Theatre that Pearl Jam filmed the ALIVE video in.........I just stool and stared at the ceiling and walls for most of the show I was at Saturday..........just imagining PJ in there

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.
whatever. just admit it was YOU that wizzed in the bottle!!!

It was really hot that day so someone in the PJ crew gave out boxes of popsicles to cool the fans in the front. It was general admission.
A few minutes later a popsicle stick was thrown at the stage. Then, all of a sudden, there were hundreds of sticks flying at the stage. It looked like a medieval army of archers had unleashed a torrent of arrows at a castle. It was awesome. I think Zeek or The Walflowers were playing when it happened.
As the fans were being let into the venue a dude knelt down on the grass near me and took out a scissor and a small plastic box. He clipped a bit of the lawn, placed it into the box and said, "This is sacred stuff man."

When i saw them at camden in 06.... Ed turned around and chucked something behind him really hard...
Jeff got hit in the face.... started looking really confused and like "wtf!" then he just started wailing on the bass like it was going out of style.. It was kind of bad ass... I felt bad for jeff though :(
I dont think ed meant to , it was just really strange...
oh ya i was there for that too...i saw the whole thing happen from pavillion seats far away
i thought someone threw the rolling stones magazine at him and he rolled it up and threw it accidentally hitting Jeff in the face...then the rest happened as u described

Eddie is hammering a hole in the stage floor and disappears through it. Can't remember what show this was, just came across it on Youtube
He did that at the last show in 93 at the Mercer Street Arena in Seattle (I was there,first PJ show ever).But I think that he's done that in other places too......
when you get confused just listen to the music play........

Unfortunately he was lying.

umm...the one and only time I saw PJ I was next to this middle aged couple who were tellin me about old live stories and stuff and then they whipped out this pocket piece. we started blazing and i whipped out a roach in my shirt pocket...then this guy three seats down bought my stepbrother and I a couple of beers...and to top it off during tom petty...this drunk as son of a bitch came right next to me and would not shut the fuck up about how tom petty was british rock.
don't ask me...but i ended up getting really irritated of this guy and told him to go away.
