1. 1996 Savage Hall Toledo -first pearl jam concert I ever went to. 30 second through "I got shit", Eddie stopped the band and said, "someone forgot to do their homework".

2. 1998 Blossom Music Center Cleveland -Front row! 16 year old kid (me) touches Eddie and gets to hear, "Sorry man...I cant" as I hold up a magic marker and concert T.

3. 2004 Toledo Sports Arena Toledo -Neil Young was there....I dont have to say anything more on the subject...

    Toledo 96 was my first concert too, were you in general admission? i remember it was intense (in my early teens then) and got tossed around. was in cleveland 98 too (3rd row center).

    my rankings:
    1. Cleveland 98
    2. Pittsburgh 00: Ed had a long preset, stone sang, the "wash" incident. great finish for that leg.
    3. Orlando HOB 03: small show, not the most memorable setlist, but great venue, exclusive (most were radio show winners) and my bro got us in with his "connections." its great to know someone, eh?

    3. _TIE_ Boise, Idaho, 11-03-00 -- Saskatoon, 09-07-05. I can't decide between my first Pearl Jam show or the show that I was front row in front of Mike. Tremor Christ and an amazing Betterman competing with Eddie in the front row during Porch. It's too close to call.

    2. Vancouver, 09-02-05. Being front row is an experience, but I hold this show up a little higher.. Fifth row means being completely surrounded by crazed fans who are lost in the music with you. It's a tangible energy and the Vancouver crowd was insane this night. Favorites of the night were Down, Blood and the Alive (HEY, HEY!) solo.

    1. The Gorge, 09-01-05. A looong drive to a magical venue, an amazing setlist, the longest PJ show ever. Not For You/To Our Home tag, Undone for the first time ever... Hard To Imagine, In My Tree, Porch AND Blood.. I'd say I've been pretty lucky Pearl Jam-wise.

    for me,

    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    3. 7-9-95 Milwaukee - My first show. :)

    1. 6-21-03 Alpine Valley - Great crowd, great setlist, awesome day. If you weren't there you just wouldn't understand. Listen to the bootleg and then get back to me. :D

    3) 7/11/2003 - Mansfield, MA - 3rd of 3 amazing shows ... The Experiment.

    2) 6/12/2007 - Munich Germany - Seeing them in Europe was such a great experience.

    1) 4/12/2004 - Boston, MA The show that vaulted them to favorite band status for me ... lots of new Vitology material ... great set list (created by the road crew) amazing night.

    Hard to rank a top 3, esp. as I've only been to 4 shows!

    The MEN one was great for being the first show. And we got Footsteps and Timeless Melody.

    Leeds Festival was amazing. Never been a fan of outdoor/festival shows, but that set was killer. Daughter/It's OK was spine-tingling.

    Wembley Arena felt like a special fan-club show, for obvious reasons. And again the set was killer, even without 9 or 10 "big" songs on the setlist.

    Dusseldorf was a chance to see PJ outside of my homeland, and I was so glad I did.

    Hard to pick a best show. One day I'll say Leeds, the next Dusseldorf, and so on. Get back to me when I've been to 20+ shows.
    Manchester 04.06.00, Leeds 25.08.06, Wembley 18.06.07, Dusseldorf 21.06.07, Shepherds Bush 11.08.09, Manchester 17.08.09, Adelaide 17.11.09, Melbourne 20.11.09, Sydney 22.11.09, Brisbane 25.11.09, MSG1 20.05.10, MSG2 21.05.10, Dublin 22.06.10, Belfast 23.06.10, London 25.06.10, Long Beach 06.07.11 (EV), Los Angeles 08.07.11 (EV), Toronto 11.09.11, Toronto 12.09.11, Ottawa 14.09.11, Hamilton 14.09.11, Manchester 20.06.12, Manchester 21.06.12, Amsterdam 26.06.2012, Amsterdam 27.06.2012, Berlin 04.07.12, Berlin 05.07.12, Stockholm 07.07.12, Oslo 09.07.12, Copenhagen 10.07.12, Manchester 28.07.12 (EV), Brooklyn 18.10.13, Brooklyn 19.10.13, Philly 21.10.13, Philly 22.10.13, San Diego 21.11.13, LA 23.11.13, LA 24.11.13, Oakland 26.11.13, Portland 29.11.13, Spokane 30.11.13, Calgary 02.12.13, Vancouver 04.12.13, Seattle 06.12.13, Trieste 22.06.14, Vienna 25.06.14, Berlin 26.06.14, Stockholm 28.06.14, Leeds 08.07.14, Philly 28.04.16, Philly 28.04.16, MSG1 01.05.16, MSG2 02.05.16

    1. Alpine Valley 03 - the weather, the tailgating, the first time seeing them with 10c tickets, the rescuing some random people from a flipped-over car on the ride home... it was an experience, to say the least
    2. The Vic - Ed's solo set at the beginning in that small of a venue was worth the price of admission
    3. House of Blues Katrina Benefit - Robert Plant? Hell yeah! Even though (most) everyone paid $1000 to get in, the place rocked like any other PJ concert I've seen. I decided to walk by the venue the day of, see if my credit card could handle the charge. It did. Took a while to repay it, but it was for a good cause.
