  • I will be 49 on December 30. I got into PJ after collecting the 2000 Euro Bootlegs...listen to them virtually everyday! If Nirvana was the Beatles, then PJ is the Stones of "your" generation. At this point PJ is at their Tattoo You period...it could go either way from here...its all good as long as they tour!

    Ive been going to concerts since '77 and have seen over 300 shows. i think my age gives me some perspective-- Pearl Jam is one of the best ive ever seen and currently has no equal.

  • I turned 54 in October.......I have made some of the best memories of my life at PJ shows.Now,if I remember to take my Ginko I can remember some of them.Everyone that busted on me for being a fan is now captivated by"Just Breathe".Go figure.
  • Just turned 50 in September :o . Passed the top & now over the hill, things move a lot faster going down hill :? . I may be getting too old for this. I can now only make 3 out of the 4 Phish NYE run shows ;) . Will take the 30th off for some rest :lol: .
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)

  • 52. My earliest recollection of Pearl Jam is sliding the Ten CASETTE tape into the player in the mini-van with two kids in car seats in the back. The wife & I have both been big fans forever but only recently ('06) did we manage to start going to the shows. We finally realized the kids probably would NOT burn down the house while we were gone & also realized "it's only a house". Now our oldest kid comes with us to shows when he can.

    Actually come to think of it, I just might be a puddle full of detriment.

    What better way to have my 1st Post than to connect with the over 40 PJ crowd.

    I am 41. Been a huge fan since Summer of '92.
  • 55, but feel like I'm 17 when I'm at a concert! My daughter (my PJ buddy) tells me I could pass for mid-40's -- and that's a compliment at my age!
    You can't be neutral on a moving train.

  • 40 and a die hard since Ten blew up.

    Previous post mentioned a cassette, I remember them well.

    Yield side A would end with Pilate and I would then have to hit FF so it could auto flip to DTE.

    My auto's CD changer currently has Yield, Vs., Vitalogy, Backspacer, Lost Dogs 1, Merkinball

    95% of the music I listen to is PJ.

    Nothing else compares.

    The weird and wonderful thing with me is I am listening to classical stuff, minimalist pieces like Arvo Part, Gorecki, Steve Reich and Kronos Quartet, piano guy Keith Jarrett, then I put on PJ. Guess its about 75% PJ.
    Been a fan since 1993 when I was 36...yea wrong side of 50 now.
