In all of the philly madness, I thought something to deflect the sadness for some.....


1. Camden #2 1998 - my first of 21 shows, I was supposed to go with friends who backed out the last minute, took my sister and we were off from there - no longer talk to those friends
2. Spectrum 2003 - Awesome set list, great venue and great energy from crowd
3. Borgata #2 2005 - The 7 hours waiting in line with GA tix did not drive me mad - front row between Ed and Stone
4. MSG #1 2003 - the show was surreal and I love NYC!
5. Borgata #1 2005 - intimate venue Ga tix about 10 rows from stage - one year wedding anniversary - what a way to spend it with PJ


share your memories with us!

    No particular order:

    Boston 3 (2003) [speakes for itself]
    MSG 2 (1998) [infamous Breath show & my first!!!]
    MSG 1 (2003) [Live at the Garden show; it was amazing hearing songs like Crown of Thorns]
    Philly Wachovia (2005) [fucking great setlist and energy]
    Penn St (2003) [longest show ever!]
    Hartford 08 is up there too. Just a great setlist. But I dont think the band was as tight as they normally are

    I also loved both Boston VFC shows, both MSG 08 & The Beacon Theater, NY, Boston 06 (Leash show), Albany 06 (rats played for 1st time in quite a while), Jones Beach 00 (Its OK show), also Boston 1 in 03 was great & underrated

    Pearl Jam Shows?
    1. San Francisco (Night 1, 2006). First time I was up on the railing.
    2. Santa Barbara 2006. Lucky to get in and be in the 3rd Row.
    3. Henry Fonda Theater 2006... mostly because I went from the gloom and doom of not getting in... to scoring a ticket that cost only $0.00.
    4. San Diego 1998. First time I was up close and didn't have to fight off the tools that come in late and force their way to the front.
    5. Santa Barbara 2003. A great show for a sad occasion.
    Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
    Hail, Hail!!!

    1. Vic Theater, Chicago 8/2/07 - I don't think anything needs to be added here.
    2. Ottawa, Ontario 9/16/05 - Incredible performance. Amazing setlist and an absolutely stunning version of Black.
    3. Dallas, TX 7/5/98 - My first show. Yes, Dennis Rodman almost ruined it, but it was still my first show.
    4. Hartford, CT 6/27/08 - Insane show.
    5. Boston , MA - 9/28/04 - The first of the VFC warm-up shows. I think night 2 had a better set-list but night 1 was the better performance.

    Yea, both those VFC Boston shows were go. I also loved the Bostonn Fleet Center show where they played Lsh, that was insane when they ripped into that.

    After all these years, it's hard to really pit shows against each other in terms of quality. But my most memorable:

    --Columbia, MD 1996: my first PJ show. Waited four years to see the band live and didn't even consider driving down to MD from Philly until a friend invited me to buy her spare. Never met up with her -- this was before cell phones ... -- but scalped a ticket once the music started. Running up the grass hill to the tune of "Long Road" is one of my best memories.

    --Camden I 1998: Second PJ show, first via 10-C, and somehow front row! (I'm kind of OCD with mail and tickets and stuff and sent my order in like a minute after I got the newsletter.) It was surreal to see my heroes up that close. I remember being fascinated/appalled/thrilled by Iggy Pop on stage, and Ed's little "Philadelphia Freedom" bit.

    --Jones Beach II 2000: Front row center -- I felt like Wayne and Garth waving their tickets in the air, walking down to our seats. So grateful. Happened to be there for maybe my top Pearl Jam moment -- the "It's OK" tag after Daughter. I had heard it in VA Beach, but Ed NAILED it this night.

    --MSG II 2003: Pitch-perfect show in all respects, and the loudest crowd I've ever been a part of. The fucking stage was shaking.

    --Mansfield I 2008: The final show of seven that month, I just had a blast of a day out tailgating and meeting fellow crazies and being a part of a raucous crowd.

    made him ... want to be everywhere
    there's a ... lot to be said for nowhere."
