    I remember every concert because I never get drunk at a Pearl Jam concert. I want to remember everything. And I also don't want to have to miss anything by having to go the bathroom every ten minutes like everyone in the pit row 4 had to both nights at Camden. I had to keep moving to let people get by all night.

    Ditto for me especially the bathroom part. I don't want to miss anything going to the bathroom so I do not drink beer at concerts. I can't see spending $74 and travel money to not remember anything. I cannot deny being high though.

    None... If I'm going to get too boozed I do it somewhere where it doesn't matter... home... the bar... not a concert... and most certainly not in my knitting circle.

    Toronto - well I went with some of my brothers’ friends. I've never tried that stuff called "Rev", but it went down so easily (little did I realize the stuff is like 7% and goes down easier than a beer for some people). After lots of beers and a few Rev's I was pretty gone. A good show, but very foggy.

    I recall that day being really hot and muggy, so that may have contributed to it. I avoided the booze that day and instead got really baked for the show.

    Aw, good old Molson Park shows, I do miss that venue, what a great place during the 1990s

    i dig ALL of you but WHY do some of you get so hammered at a PEARL JAM show? If you really REALLY like them and they are your favorite, wouldnt you want to remember the show entirely and rock out without falling over or spilling your drink or things like that? Any other show/band fine get WASSSSSSTEDDDD but PEARL JAM? Now AFTER or BEFORE the show.....thats a different story! :D

    I agree with ya! Drink a couple before. It makes the music better!
    Then get back to your hotel or home, put PJ on and get wasted!

    i always enjoy getting a nice buzz on for PJ...never have been smashed for one of their shows though.

    i think the only time i ever got WASTED at a show was CSNY in '06. My bro snuck in a bottle of captain, plus i was downing 24 oz beers. i made it through the first set, but a little ways into the acoustic set, i was out. i was passed out for probably 45 or so minutes (and i did puke, but we were in a fairly uncrowded lawn, so it wasn't like i was puking on other people). anyways, somehow the first chords of "let's impeach the president" started playing and it actually registered in my passed out brain. i jumped up, yelling "i'll get up for anti-bush propaganda any time!!!!" the rest of the show was great.

    I always have a beer in hand but never too drunk to not remember.

    Funny story though, I saw PJ for two nights in a row when he played with Tom Petty in Denver. The first night, after PJ had finished playing and Tom had gone on, the people sitting next to us passed over a joint. I've never been a big smoker, but this stuff was as potent as I've ever had. I was so paranoid that I thought if I sat down every one would know. "THEY'LL KNOW!!! THEY'LL ALL KNOW!!!

    I'll stick with beer thank you.

    I've been to 14 shows and 13 of them I just had a fun buzz going.
    However, I was shit-faced for the Montreal 05 show. I remember there was a big unofficial fan club meet up at this place called Grumpy's before the show. The group I was with showed up around 4 and it was just impossible not to start pounding beer in that place especially with PJ blasting in the background.

    The first show I went to March 31 1992. A bottle of vodka in the dorm room of some one I don't even know anymore. Some chicks opened and we moshed our faces off! I like to get a buzz on, be it smoke or booze or sometimes both but don't pissoff everyone around you. Later yostarama

    Pearl Jam shows - 0. Charlotte in 2000 and 2003 were no alcohol at all. Columbia 2008 was 1 beer before hand and 1 beer during KoL so I wasn't anywhere close to drunk.

    Other shows - 2, but I don't put as much importance on them, so I will occasionally let myself get a little drunk....

    1997 when they opened for the stones in Oakland. Way too much Jager :) It's ok, they were just the opening band.

    1998 Portland - 3 person B-day party plus we a bunch of us went to the show. Even the driver of the MAX train was telling us all to take shots on the train. Very foggy Memory of this one. It's ok, because the sound where I was at in the Arena wasn't that good.

    I usually party at the all the shows, but these were a little out of hand.
