Crooks And Liars blog give Pearl Jam a shout-out
A merger is expected between Ticketmaster and LiveNation. Commemorate it in advance with this performance of "Immortality" from first show of Pearl Jam's 1995 tour, during which the band boycotted Ticketmaster in protest of the service charges they tacked onto ticket prices.

They got a nice YouTube of the performance. Watching it, it made me glad Pearl Jam doesn't do GA shows anymore. Who the fuck crowd-surfs during "Immortality"!?! I'm glad there were terraced bleachers for the show I saw at Red Rocks on the same tour so I didn't risk getting a boot to the head during "Better Man" or something. Granted it was almost 14 years ago and I'll admit that maybe I'm getting a little too old for that shit. However I have been in some rough pits, but usually the music dictates the rowdiness. Those people just look like a bunch of douchebags moshing and crowd-surfing to "Immortality"...
