I was listening to the 5/26/00 Spain boot and the song 'Alive' on this bootleg is probably the biggest Pearl Jam screw up I've ever heard. I know they screw up here and there in just about every show but what are some other memorable PJ screw up moments?

    State College has the biggest fuck up I've ever heard. But it's so bad it's good.

    Benaroyal Hall- in thin air

    I was at a toronto show in 05 and he screwed up like 3 songs in a row. Namely Neil youngs harvest moon. IT WAS BAD HARMONICA PLAYING, plus it was right after he screwed up a pj tune, and he said its ok to screw up your own song, but its not ok to screw up neil youngs tunes. THen sure enough he screwed it up.

    This one is the worst fuck up by far. Sometimes from SF 2006 night 2 is a great fuck up. Gotta love it.
    My first PJ show to witness was at Bonnaroo. How is that for lucky?

    nothing as it seems - detroit 10-7-00

    the fuck up as they go to the bridge, but this is one of my favorite versions - mike's guitar effects sound awesome, and eddie sings the last chorus in a higher register i've never heard in any other version
    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    1. Jeremy from Slim's Cafe show in San Fran 93. A fucking shambles.

    2. The bass intro to Leash every time they played it in 2006 - The song used to roar into life, now it merely whimpers...

    Thin Air at Benaroya, mainly because there was no way they could hide it and Eddie was laughing at it at the end of the song

    heh - I was there for that one. It was great.

    Kitchener 05 - Soon Forget. I forget what he sung instead, or did he fuck something else up and sing Soon Forget. I was at the show, and probably have the boot, but can't remember offhand. It was pretty spectacular though - he gave up on one song and did another on ukelele.

    Yea, I would have to say East Rutherford 06. The vocals dropped during the beginning of Animal. On the boot you can hear the sound board guys talking about it.. at one point one of them says "Ed's vocals are back on if he wants to talk".. Then Ed goes into something about how Bruce Springsteen forgot to pay the electric bill because he's on tour.. Was pretty classic, however the first 5 or so songs on the boot aren't directly from the sound board.
    Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North."
