For me, it's not like I have the highest paying job (I do accounting for a petroleum wholesaler) it's that I don't have kids and a husband (by choice) so I can afford to travel to see Pearl Jam,2-feign-reluctance wrote:man oh man, some of you must make some crazy money. i just don't know how you all travel so much to see these guys!

The best show I've been to...yet.:) It was my wife's second PJ show. I told her it might be a while before she sees another one that good! Great times, great times. My favorite parts were Ed destroying his tambourines during Kings Of Leon's set, Hawaii 78(amazing), MOTH, the cake, Smile
, Ledbetter/Little Wing and finally getting to see Oceans live! 0 -

This was my first pj show ever! I got my seats on the Wednesday before the show, and it was on Saturday! It DID NOT even sell out??? I was born and rasied in Seattle for 36 years before I moved to Hawaii. I never really liked pj while I lived in Seattle. I guess all of the media hype of the Nirvana/grunge scene lost me, plus I was in this blues phase where that's all I listened to. I must have had my mouth open the entire show that night in Honolulu. This show made me feel reborn again like no other I had ever seen. I have heard the boot so many times I wouldn't even try to count.
Being able to actually buy the music from the show I attended made me remember more and more about that night, as I replay it over and over again. Hearing Boom talk to the crowd "Howzit? I love Hawaii", the bands donation of gig $ to Boom's local youth charity, and all the remarks about the islands gave local people here so much pride as well as a bond with the band. Boom's solo on Crazy Mary was the bomb, and Ed taking his wine bottle down, and passing it around, filling up peoples cups in the front row was so cool! I always wonder what his wine must taste like now? Oh, did I mention that Ed had the first row filled with pro surfers too? He dedicated Big Wave to his surfing buddies and all surfers that night.
Ed also said that Mike McCready wrote Inside Job here in Hawaii while eating a veggie burger at Duke's in Waikiki?? I also thought that Ed may have played You're True for the first time live that night? That's what it says on the web site. Ed said at the beginning of the second encore "He didn't know why, but he was going to attempt to play a uke song he had never played before." He forgot his book and had Ricky Ramone bring it out for him. He also said "This one's for Boat Kitty before he started plaing You're True." The acoustic uke vibes gave local islanders even more to cheer about.
When the band played Hawaii 78' the crowd exploded like I've never heard before. The next song played was Better Man. As the crowd finishes singing that, you can hear Ed say to the band "Just like in church." Blew my mind to hear a croud sing like that for the first time.
This show had as much, if not more emotion than any of the shows I've heard so far. Pj is all I listen too now. It will be hard to top that show for me. Man was I lucky. It changed my life in so many ways.
Since then I have seen Ed play with Jack Johnson at Kokua Fest, and I scored tickets to see Ed play solo in San Diego the final night. We used all our frequent flyer miles, and all the extra money we had to see Ed solo. It was worth every penny!
While Ed was great solo, I will never forget how special the Honolulu 06' show was. I just bought the poster from that show this week. I am hooked now. I will never miss a chance to see any member of pj perform again. Never!0 -

Oh man! How could I forget as Ed put it "These quiet dignified types..you just gotta put em' in the spotlight.. cause they deserve it!" "It was Matt Cameron's birthday a couple of days ago and all he got was this haircut." Ed jokes. "He's got seniority..He's the most distinguished and established musician in the group..again it's so important that He's apart of it." says Ed as he has us all sing Happy Birthday to Mr. Matt Cameron. After blowing out the candles, they both proceed to "Fly" this huge cake into the middle of the crowd! Ed asks "would you like some forks?" Just then someone throws a big handful of cake back on stage. The band gets a big laugh as they go into Smile. Incredible!
Thanks for helping me out. This is one boot that you absolutely must hear!0 -

They played Hawaii 78' so much on the radio here after that show. Each time it came on I'd crank it. People were talking about how Ed just nailed Iz's song. I read an interview with Ed before Kokua Fest by one of the local papers and he explained, "You hear that song playing form speakers in the trees as you do things like hike around here." It gave me chills hearing them play that song, all the while knowing just how special it is to local people here.0 -
I finally got the poster from my first show - Honolulu 06'. It was expensive, but I love it. I wish I would have know more about tne merch back then. Honolulu 06' was the show that morphed me into the Pearl Jam fan I am today. With the Honolulu 12-02-08 boot, the show was permanently etched in my mind!
Now I'm hooked on all the Hawaii posters.0
