    Yeah I made the crazy 24 hour trip to Philly as well. I had recently moved to Tennessee and my friends from NY wanted to go down for a show. They drove down and I flew into Philly. We went to the beer store and bought a beer ball and when we got back to the hotel room we realized we had no tap. Drove back to the beer store to find that they close at 6 p.m. Who does that!? Spent the next few hours drinking as much as e could before we would have to pay 8 bucks a cup inside the show. It was the first night of the four and It was amazing...I dont know who was better the band or the crowd. Best Pearl Jam crowd I have ever been a part of. After the show went back to the hotel bar and finished off what we started. Got a few hours of sleep and then my buddies took me to the airport.

    I'd do it all again

    I love the "who does that." :lol: Pearl Jam fans are so supportive of the band. The crowd makes the concert experience insane for sure. What is a beer ball? lol. Is that like a pony keg i'm assuming.....??


    Yeah a beer ball is like a pony keg prolly a little smaller and its a brown plastic ball in a box...we never even tapped it cuz we couldnt get a tap. I wanted to stab the thing so bad!!!
    Sometimes I burn like a dot on the Sun...

    These are great. I've written about several Pearl Jam excursion experiences in my blog that is trying to be book. Some of the chapters that involve PJ off the top of my head are "The Beer Run," "The Pizza," "The Jelly World," "The Wasted Chick."

    One of the main reasons I went on exchange to a school in Europe was because I thought there would be a pretty good chance of a 2010 Euro tour. Glad I guessed right! ;)

    I live in St. Louis and the closest Eddie got while doing that solo tour was Chicago. So my wife and I did a 23 hour and 55 minute round trip to see him. That included drive up, some hang time in Chi Town, a really great show & hanging out afterwards waiting for Eddie to come out. Never saw him but we did get to be within inches of Sean Penn & a bunch of Chicago/Detroit sports figures (including the Stanley Cup). Then back on the road heading home...TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!
