i have shook his hand at3 45pm in philly on his solo tour i was estatic i had a beer cap in car that said what could be better than a beer wityh eddie vedder god i wish i would of remembered it he probalaly called me up durin show
I would really like to meet Mr Vedder, just to thank him and let him know that his views/causes are heard loud and clear by me (I do agree with him politically).
Usually I take pride in seeing a celebrity and leaving them alone/allowing them to be a person. I never really engage in convo unless it would be something that would naturally happen.... never ask for an autograph, picture, etc... But the guys in pearl Jam it would be tough to ignore for me.
^^ Exactly man, the few celebrities I've met, mostly hockey players, I don't bother them for autographs, just a quick hello and if they want to talk more that's cool. The fact that Eddie initiated conversation with me was the really surreal part.

I as 30 feet away from him in Torino 06. I was waiting to get onto the touring bus, and he came out to chat and sign autographs. I had a blind eye and everyone else chatted him up for 10 mins or so.
Still never let it go.

ive met him a few times. he was super friendly and nice
we stood outside an airport and chatted and smoked for a good 15 minutes or so. just about local perth stuff and music and things
he was super chilled and really funny
it was during the time when they were still anti media(ish)
then their was a crowd of people come and he got really fidgitty and edgy and someone with fancy photogrpahy equipment tried to take his photo and he walked off
but leading up to that... wooooooooo
he signed loads of me things
he remembered me the next day when camped outside prior to show and gave me a little wave
thought my head was going to explode
i always thought meeting them would be the most terrifying experience of my life. but he was just another normal dude with loads of interesting things to say
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
I used to see him out and about quite frequently several years ago (I think it was while he was single). He's pretty funny and really kind of a dork around people he knows...very endearing.

I met Ed before a show In Kansas City. At the time I was working for a Music Store in Iowa and got free tix from Island Records (Supergrass was opener) get to the show and was given Meet and Greet with Supergrass after their set.. Went to the dressing room with a group of about 10 people and after hanging out for about 20 minutes I notice Ed just chilling on the couch with a Heinekin (sp). Of course I start acting like I saw a ghost and couldnt make out a complete sentence. Luckily my bud introduced me as a long time fan and I would be honored to get a pic with him. Well one thing led to another and We sat and had a few beers and talked about the Ice Bowl show which I attended a few weeks earlier.. Very genuine man and seemed very down to earth. Plus I got a pretty cool pic with the man.
Damn writing this brought back some good memories

It was Bridge School 2003. He came up to soundboard with his girlfriend who was prego with their first. I was there w my prego girlfriend and CSNY started playing "teach your children well." I leaned over the rail and a little loud, said THANKS BROTHER. He was a little surprised and turned around with a furrowed brow and I had this goobernut smile on my face. His face softened and he turned and walked to the other side of his now wife. I wouldn't call it "meeting him", but nevertheless. Then there was the 1998 Tibetan freedom concert when I call Jeff, Mike for two days;) until I realized on the second day and said properly, Thanks Jeff, when he nodded at me and was like about time kid.....
If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll meet you on the next one...
I met Ed on my 21st last year outside of Baltimore. I told him I flew from Boston just to see him solo and he seemed genuinely happy. I shook his hand and we had small talk but it pretty much made my life. He's a great guy..
omg i hav wanted 2 meet Ed since foreva bt ive never had the chance :( the only concert ive ever been to was a Hilary Duff one and i feel asleep i have no idea as to y my mother took me to tht tho

So very jealous of each and every one one of you.. I tell myself "nah..you shouldn't ever meet your heroes, you'll only be disappointed..", but really I'm just bullshitting myself
It's ok..he's mine on the other side!!! LOL

This dude that works in a local record store saw my Pearl Jam shirt and ended up telling me stories about when he was on tour with the band back in 1993 working on the crew for them.
He told me Mike and Dave A. were the nicest guys andthat he jammed with them and smoked a lot of weed with them.
He had gotten all the guys in the band autographs on his "Go" single sleeve except Ed was the last one he had to get.
So towards the end of his run with the group, he sees Ed backstage pacing back and forth rather angrily and intense like with his head looking straight down towards the ground.
The dude's buddy on the crew encouraged him to go talk to him cause Ed is cool or whatever, so he musters the courage to ask for his autograph.
He approaches Ed and asks him, and Ed does like a complete 360 of intensity right there, instantly turning into a warm and inviting person and is glad to do it, writing not only his name, but an anarchy symbol and the phrase, "Ride the wave of pure existence." And they talked for 15 minutes, I think they talked about "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter In A Small Town" being written in the Bay Area and some other shit, I can't remember, this dude told me this story like 5 years ago.
I went back to that record store later on and he backed up his story with evidence. He showed me the "Go" single sleeve signed by all the members of the band as well as a black and white photo of Jeff writing "To Willy:" on it. Damn. He also burned me the 3 discs of the "Dissident" Atlanta '94 show.

I myself have never met Ed, but I have met Tom Morello and Jerry Cantrell as well as Chris Cornell's guitar player, Yogi Lonich, and keyboardist, Will Wesson.

I met Ed in San Diego last year, had what I was gonna say figured out till he got to me and shook my hand, then I just totally froze and the only thing I could think to say was, "Hi Ed". Was still amazing, he shook my hand and I really wish I could have gotten a pic with him but he just wanted to make it brief.
Met/shook hands after two solo shows. But the best "meeting" was at the Toronto 2003 show. My wife, Amy, and I had seen 5 shows heading into Toronto. My membership number got us in the first few rows each show and for this one we were 2nd row, dead center.
At the end of Rockin in the Free World where Eddie had thrown numerous tambourines out in the crowd Amy turns to me, nearly in tears, and says "why doesn't he toss me one, I know he sees me wearing my Rock for Choice shirt?" The band comes back for Baba O'Riley and Ed has more tambourines to toss. As he moves from one side of the stage to the other Ed and I make eye contact. I point down to Amy (who I'm standing behind as the crowd is hopping over the chairs to get closer). Ed points at her and then leans over and practically drops a tambourine in her hands! Amy turns to me with the biggest smile, oblivious to my getting Ed's attention.
So even though we didn't talk or shake hands I consider this my best meeting with Ed
