Awesome story. So jealous that you got to hang out with Jeff! Please post some pictures!

I wasnt trying to imply that ANYONE had a problem with me posting pictures. Number one, not my camera and dont have them in my possesion. Secondly, I think we just wanted to give them to the guys to see how or if they wanted to use them first is all. Their myspace, or 10c or something like that. They will eventually get posted at some point. :-)

How many people do you guys think were at the show?

So a buddy and I went to the show last night and had a FUCKING BLAST!

So we rolled into town about 1ish I guess. Went checked into the hotel and then headed to the venue. Had a hard time finding the damn thing! Turns out, it was and underground tavern!! Sign on the wall said 110 capacity, but we were told they were selling about 200 tickets. $10 at the door 8pm. Posters, t-shirts and cds $10 as well.

We met up with Zootown and he took us to one of the coolest bars I have been too in a long time, Charlie B's, where we proceeded to grub and chat. Thank again for the hospitality my friend!!

So we headed over the the venue again to see if there was any action and ran into Jeff and Bruce as they were leaving after dropping off their gear. They stopped when they saw us and we chatted a bit. Jeff was STOKED that we had made the trip from Spokane and said that he appreciated the effort! NICE EFFORT!! He said!! hahaha...So we headed back to the bar for a while since Jeff told us they wouldnt be taking the stage until MIDNIGHT! We had some time to kill!! So we are just kicking back at the bar and about an hour later....Here comes Jeff and Bruce and Rod. They saw us and came over and sat with us. I got to buy them a round of drinks and we just chatted until they decided it was time to go (right Zoo?? ;-) )

So about 10:30 decided to head to the bar and check out the scene and hear the second band and see where we were going to situate ourselves for the show. Turn out this place was just a pool hall with a very small stage at one end. Seeing that the front of the stage was moshing their collective ASSES OFF, we thought better of standing there and chose to stand next to the stage on jeffs side. When I say next to the stage, I pretty much me on the damn thing. We were so close, we rocked our asses of with one foot on and one foot off the stage all through the show about a foot and a half from Jeff. We were so close that at one point, they were going off so hard that jeff's mic stand fell on him and I jumped on stage to stand it back up!! (grabbed the pic he dropped on the way off stage too! Well...it was just sitting there!!) :-)

They were tight from the first note!! AMAZING that a band that had only practiced a few times together in 25 years seemed like they had been playing together the whole time. Bruce and Jeff bounced around like they were 25 again..Rod Moody was as spot fucking on with the words and vocals it was actually scary!! Sergio sat behind the kick and drove the truck that hit us square in the face all night long!! I also managed to get Jeffs hand written setlist and a drumstick from Sergio as we stood on stage and chatted with them after the show for a bit whilst they were breaking down. We were able to get pictures of him and all the guys as well. My buddy snapped WELL over 100 photos from point blank range all night. The band....the crowd....us...anything he could shoot he did!! Hope to be able to post some, but it will be up to him if he will allow it. We are sending them to the band as well, so we will have to see.

As we were leaving the place Jeff rolled up again and we were able to thank him and say our goodbyes. The whole band thanked us for the beer( we never even brought it up, they just said, hey by the way, thanks for the beers!! ).hugs all around and hand shakes, fist bumps and Jeff again looked us both straight in the eyes and gave us one more very serious and VERY sincere GREAT EFFORT GUYS!!

A great fucking night!! Met some new friends..got to hang with the band...rocked our asses off and were back home in just over 26 hours. A very productive day!!

Thanks to Jeff...Bruce..Sergio and Rod for being genuine people and giving us a great show!! Dont wait 25 fucking years next time, please!!!

Great strory/experience Scott. It was great to meet ya. Allbeit briefly. Thats awesome you got to meet the band, and hang out.

It was funny to see the power problems Jeff was was having with his equipment right before the show started.
I was up front for DD. I Lasted 5 songs... It was soooo fucking hardcore. The band was really tight. The moshing was insane. The two guys in front of me bailed after 3 songs, so I was on the monitors for 2 songs. WOW!!! It was incredible!!! My right leg felt like I had run a marathon. My body is still sore today

Maybe these 2 shows will generate some more new music. Would love to see them again.(might have to get in better shape first )

I am so glad that there are fans like you who are considerate enough to ask 10c and the band about the pictures, knowing how the guys feel about that... and hopefully they'll give you the blessing to share with us on the board!

Seriously?

I was also at the show and took a bunch of pictures. I was going to write up my thoughts and experiences and post some photos, too. Are you saying Jeff Ament and/or Pearl Jam Inc. would disapprove?

Could a moderator clarify this for me?

Pearl Jam allows photos with no flash...the flashes bother them.

Eddie prefers no photos at his shows and that was announced for his first solo tour. There has been no change from that.

So far, that's it, so it was ok at the DD show. They would have made it known if it wasn't ok.

Thanks, Kat. I appreciate you clarifying that.

I wasn't trying to make people feel bad or even act like I know it all. I don't and I apologize for the misinformation.

Now, let's see those pictures!!!
