so..who is he/she..?
we all love them..for many of us pj has changed our lives..all of us have all of band's work,cds,singles,bootlegs...a lot of framed posters,some books,pj stickers everywhere you can imagine,etc...

BUT who have been to the most shows from all of us..?
i have heard for fans who have been to pj shows over 100-150 times..

BUT who's the man??

p.s. i always thought that the pj crew is the luckiest people on earth..
too many shows..too many..:-)

    The number of shows you go to means nothing.

    I've been fortunate to see them 16 times and I know that there are trust fund kids out there who have followed them around and seen them hundreds of times just because they can.

    In fact there is absolutely no way to measure this, so lets just all agree that we're all fans in our own way regardless of how many times we've seen them.

    i know for people who went without any holidays..guys who drank 1 beer instead of 2..who didn't buy any new clothes..just to be on a pearl jam tour..so don't tell me that being to the shows is no way to measure this...

    I am probably the suckiest fan!!!

    i don't know all the lyrics.
    i don't know setlists by heart.
    i can't always tell what song is going to be played from the first 3 notes.
    and sometimes i don't even know for sure what song is from what album :eek:

    and i don't know when the best version of Black was played!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    No... not really. It just means your are not FUCKING INSANE!!!
    Bottom line... they are a Rock Band... a damn good one whom I love, very much. But, all of this 'Huge Fan' or 'Hardcore Fan' self-titleing ain't my style. And no one deserves my (your your) place in line because someone actually knows creepy facts about the band... that they really shouldn't know.
    In my opinion... we are all equals. Who are we to judge some kid who just recently discovered how great 'Ten' is and wants to hear 'Evenflow' and 'Alive' at his very first concert? It makes the person doing the mocking the dickhead... not the kid.
    I think over-obsessed fans... like that girl that replies, "Every show" when asked which shows she's been to... are a few eggs short of an omelette. Obsession is creepy and creepy poeple are obssessed.

    But... that's just me.

    yeah..
    i have met a few of the TRUST FUND KIDS from this board...

    never worked a fucking day in their life...
    have no clue what it means to actually have to earn and save....

    and the few i have met all have one thing in common...

    they are fucking OBSESSED with the band....and have no clue of what the rest of us call "reality"....

    :o...I'm with you there..didn't stop me doing all the shows last year :p

    but frankly I have no idea how you can define biggest..
    I know who is probably the record holder (still active anyway), but even she wouldn't call herself the 'biggest' fan...

    anyway, it's not a competition..rather the contrary, most of the fun is from the sharing :D

    There was this woman standing outside The Vic when i got there (just after Ed's set) I overheard her say she had been there all day. She looked like hell, like her soul was being ripped apart because she wasn't inside. One of the guys that was working came out and gave her a ticket and told her to go in. I could read every word she was thinking just from the look on her face. In a split second, her world had been put back together. It was intense.

    It's the moments like that, that when we experience it, that makes us all "the biggest" Pearl Jam fan.

    Does that make sense?

    I'm pretty sure Eddie, Mike, Stone, and Jeff have been to the most Pearl Jam shows, so they must be the biggest PJ fans.

    I met a guy last week that said he's been a fan since day 1 AND he's never even heard of the pit!
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.
