    Well, his name is Eddie, and he's only human...

    Noticed him crying a bunch of times to prove it... :)

    No, I actually saw God. Hovering just above his head. Eddie doesn't cry.

    Seattle 2002 1st show. Memorial Stadium.

    It was really hot that day so someone in the PJ crew gave out boxes of popsicles to cool the fans in the front. It was general admission.

    A few minutes later a popsicle stick was thrown at the stage. Then, all of a sudden, there were hundreds of sticks flying at the stage. It looked like a medieval army of archers had unleashed a torrent of arrows at a castle. It was awesome. I think Zeek or The Walflowers were playing when it happened.

    Pre show, Maui 1998, 1st show.

    As the fans were being let into the venue a dude knelt down on the grass near me and took out a scissor and a small plastic box. He clipped a bit of the lawn, placed it into the box and said, "This is sacred stuff man."

    At the Wachovia Show in Philly '05 the amps went out when they were playing Crazy Mary. It was so funny!

    that was awesome. Ed said "We're never gonna play that song again"

    Unfortunately he was lying.

    Jeff got hit in the face.... started looking really confused and like "wtf!" then he just started wailing on the bass like it was going out of style.. It was kind of bad ass... I felt bad for jeff though :(


    I dont think ed meant to , it was just really strange...

    oh ya i was there for that too...i saw the whole thing happen from pavillion seats far away
    i thought someone threw the rolling stones magazine at him and he rolled it up and threw it accidentally hitting Jeff in the face...then the rest happened as u described

    Eddie is hammering a hole in the stage floor and disappears through it. Can't remember what show this was, just came across it on Youtube
    He did that at the last show in 93 at the Mercer Street Arena in Seattle (I was there,first PJ show ever).But I think that he's done that in other places too......

    I thought it was a white T-Shirt or something...

    All I know is Ed stormed off stage for a hot minute right after

    Edit: Was it a towel? Damn memory is failing me

    dude totally agreed lol.

    umm...the one and only time I saw PJ I was next to this middle aged couple who were tellin me about old live stories and stuff and then they whipped out this pocket piece. we started blazing and i whipped out a roach in my shirt pocket...then this guy three seats down bought my stepbrother and I a couple of beers...and to top it off during tom petty...this drunk as son of a bitch came right next to me and would not shut the fuck up about how tom petty was british rock.

    don't ask me...but i ended up getting really irritated of this guy and told him to go away.
