    I was in the middle of the party when i listened PJ the first time..But, the party was the birthday of my little daughter...my boyfriend said to me: listen...and put Ten for play. I listened Once and wanted listen more, but the father of my daughter said: it´s not song for child birthday. ok, no problems...we listened the cd all the night. After the end of the party, of course..Ah, my daughter loves PJ too.

    when you heard Vedder's voice?

    I was 4 in my dad's car on the way to a Mets game.. song was Alive. It was on 92.3 K-Rock here in New York.

    How do I remember? I had a home video from inside the car because it was my first mets game and you can hear "Oh i, oh, Im still alive Hey, i, i, oh, Im still alive Hey i, oh, Im still alive" in the background... sadly that tape was lost...

    I was watching Much Music, at a friend's with whom I would drink in Toronto's bars at age 14.

    My first time was seeing them on Saturday Night Live in '92 when they played Alive and Porch. I was 9 at the time and was into a lot of good music thanks to my older brothers. To this day it was the most amazing musical performance I have ever seen on TV. My jaw dropped and I knew I had just seen something huge. It was kind of like my Beatles on Sullivan moment.

    Fall of 91, driving to the beach to surf and the local radio station played "Alive" and the DJ was hyping the band as the next big grunge band. Over the next week, I must of heard the song 10-11 times on the same station and I went out and purchased "Ten" to see how the other songs sounded. Safe to say I was impressed.

    I was 20 years old and still listening to hair metal. I remember my 17 year old sister Dee coming in to my room and saying "when you're done listening to this shit, come check out a real band on MTV Unplugged right now". I was hooked.

    ...and 16 years later, she's the one I'm taking with me to the Mansfield show.

    Fall of '91, sitting in my Ohio University O'Bleness dorm room on a disgusting mauve couch watching MTV. My jaw just dropped and I've been hooked ever since! :)

    edit: It was the Alive video.....

    puking in my college dorm room's toilet...heard Even Flow for the first time. Someone told me the name of the song and then I flushed the toilet. Next time the refrain came around, I started singing "Over Flow..."

    Very stupid, not overly proud of this, but a true story nonetheless.

    I was 15 and I remember talking to my friend who was saying how great PJ was. He was asking me if I liked Jeremy and at that time I could not stand Eddie or his voice. Even watching the video made me grind my teeth. Eventually, I heard other songs from Ten and they started to capture my interest. When VS came out their music really hit me and Eddie wasn't so bad after all.

    Once upon a time, my musical preferences were limited to Technotronic, C&C Music Factory and MC Hammer. Don't shoot me yet. I was maybe 8 or 9 years old at the time. Then, one day, as I was browsing FM stations on my boombox, I heard "Go" for the first time. The rest is history. In the weeks and months that followed, I heard a few more Pearl Jam singles from Ten and Vs., Metallica's "Enter Sandman," a few Aerosmith songs from "Get A Grip," and grunge-era favourites from Soundgarden, STP and AIC. I was fortunate enough to have grown up in an era when MTV actually played music videos. 120 Minutes, Headbanger's Ball, Beavis & Butt-Head... memories...

    Gosh, I feel old now. I was a sophomore in college when Ten came out in '91, so that's when I first heard the band. I instantly fell in love. :)

    Picking up my brother from school, he gave me the TEN cassette saying "You want this?, you'd probably like it"
    He was right...once heard "Once", I was hooked.I was 19 in 91
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    at the time, I was trying to listen to the new Robert Palmer album, But Robert, my supposed brother, kept buzzing in my ear about this new band.

    i was 7 years old and my dad took away my sister's copy of TEN because of Jeremy and the news reports. She copied it on tape in anticipation and I wondered why it caused such a dispute. IT ROCKED TOO MUCH
