Who here actually SAW PJ, AIC, Nirvana in 92,93???

Saw A.I.C. open for Van Halen in Jan 1992 at the Tacoma Dome, tix were $22.50. Also at The Evergreen State College in Olympia with Gruntruck tix were $12.50, met Jerry after the show, and at Lollapalooza 93 in Portland.

Saw Nirvana Jan 7th 1994 in Seattle, Grandmother gave me the money for the ticket that was $19 dollars plus TM fees.

Saw Soundgarden in May 1994 at Kitsap County Fairgrounds and saw Tool/Candlebox show the day before at the same venue. Layne sang with Tool that night.

Wow, now that I think of it, I did. Not Nirvana...I had the chance to, but didn't really like them much back then (still don't think they're all that stellar, but kind of wish I'd have seen them).

I saw PJ in '93 shortly after Vs. came out. First show. They were at their height of popularity, all their shows sold out immediately. The ticket was $18 with a $2 service charge (or maybe $1.80? their 10% thing)

I almost forgot about it, but I also saw AIC when they opened for Ozzy. No More Tours tour (yeah right), fall of 1992. Height of grunge, and AIC was busting out huge after Dirt had come out. I don't remember much about it, other than I had a 4th row seat, Sepultura played before AIC, AIC was 2nd. The crowd was into them. I hadn't heard much of them, but remember Would was pretty awesome.

Candlebox are fucking amazing, i'm happy they reformed and just pray for a europe tour!

Considering I was 8, 9 all the way in Australia back then a big sad no.

Not having experienced 1992/1993 pearl jam is something that bothers me alot. Its an opportunity long gone and having seen them xx amount of times since 2000 hasn't helped much.. Dont get me wrong, I have had tremendous joy seing pj in the later days, but there is just something about the energy back then that I would have loved to experience. No matter how many times I see then in the future will not change that. damn...

Nirvana - 1992, Pink's Garage, Honolulu, last show on their tour, such a small venue, amazing show
PJ - 1992, Andrew's Amphitheater, U of Hawaii campus, right across the street from my dorm room. Went to both shows, caught part of Ed when he stage dived from the scaffolding that held the lights. Then flew to Maui for show #3 in a high school gym in Lahaina, I would guess only a few hundred people.
AIC - 1993, Aloha Tower, great show, same place where in 1991 I saw Jane's Addiction's "last show" and Perry played half the show naked
Soundgarden - 1997, Blaisdell Center, Honolulu, another "last show", band seemed pissed off most of the night. At some point Ben walks off the stage, Chris comes out for encore by himself, plays acoustic, and I caught his guitar pick after his last note played as Soundgarden
Ah, those were the days

You win!

i saw pj in 92 lolla in alpine and world music theater i saw aic in front row at lolla and i saw nirvana once about 5 months before kurt died. i met kurt at that show and the rest of nirvana. i wish kurt and layne were still alive so pj could play a show with them along with soundgarden and other artists.i had 10$ tix to see nirvana in 1990 or 91 at the chicago metro but, i got the ful so i missed it. thats the show where courtney met kurt and i missed it. they were nobody then and i still have the tix

Saw AIC first in '92 opening for Van Halen in Portland, then saw them again at Lolla 3 in Portland '93(Memorial Day weekend.)

First saw PJ with Blind Melon and Neil Young in Portland '93(Labor Day weekend.)

What a start and finish to the summer of '93!

Saw Soundgarden on the Superunknown tour '94 or '95 at the Salem Armory.

My first Pearl Jam show was October 31,1993 at the Greek Theater, in the hills of Berkeley,California.It is a wonderful place to see a show. It is outdoors and carved into a hill, with the stage set at the lowest part, and seating set up along the hill and if you walk around the top of the venue, you can see San Francisco and the Golden Gate off into the distant horizon. I went to the show with my Sister and my then 13 year old Daughter. We were so excited to see Pearl Jam!!! While the Henry Rollins band was playing,my Daughter and I, went up to the top of the venue and stood and watched the flow of the mosh pit, marveling at the rolling,crazy energy down below. As we turned to walk back to our seats, this guy who had these girls hounding him walked right into my Daughter, hitting her kind of hard...it was Dave Abbruzzi! He felt really bad about this and was very kind to her making sure that she was ok. He was a nice really caring guy; just like I had this feeling that the guys of Pearl Jam were (and still are today) My daughter was completly excited that this had happen to her and has a good story of a moment in her life to remember. Pearl Jam played a most wonderful show that day. I have seen them 32 times since,each time a magical, memoriable day. I feel so glad that they have been a part of my life! Thank You Pearl Jam!!!
