**Ed Solo Toronto1 8/12/08 Fanviews

I finally have a chance to post here...I had 3rd row center. Amazing show! thank you 10c!

Well I held off from posting for a while....shy I guess. But I need to say something.

I have been a Peal Jam fan since the very early days and considered I knew a fair amount.....well turns out I was wrong....very wrong.

Both my wife and I had never been to a PJ or EV show before.....it was always a dream to go to a show and with two kids these days....its even harder.

We really didnt know what to expect....yes we knew the musicwas truley great we have always known that......but we didnt expect this kind of experince....the culture the people and the kindness.

At 33 years old well over 15 years of being a fan...we were transformed into new fans....new people...almost a life changing experince. Right away we noticed everyone we met were so positive, knowledgable and very giving....especially the 10C members we met. I paid $600 for two seats in the gallery.....yep i know its alot....but I didnt wanna miss this.

After we ate we decided to walk around Massey Hall and see what action was going on...we met a very kind fellow who was waiting with a few others to see Mr Vedder before the show.....who he had told us Eddie just exited a white cargo van 10 minutes before we came.

I dont know this fellas name...wish I did now but he told us it was his 25th show that night. He taught us about the people the culture and the man and the band, and how lucky we were for our first show to be a Solo EV show......he said it doesnt get more special and intimate than this. He told us about the posters, boots, the fans everything he was a great guy etc etc....and the benefits of the club.....he was a true ambassador of the club.

By the time we finished speaking with this gent near the tour buses....we were really excited to get in the venue buy some shirts etc etc...and enjoy the man named Eddie Vedder.

Honestly I dont think I could enjoy Liam properly because we were so excited to see Eddie. The seats were ok...not great.....but the music....the voice....the foot stomping and the intoxicating guitaring.....changed me musically forever.....I found myself in a staring gaze so many times.The peoplearound us took us in like family and we all jammed together...high fived and just truley enjoyed together. No yellers or anything could ruin it at that point.

Eddie played music we have never heard from him before......for me Walking the Cow was the biggest deal to me....its one of the most beautiful songs I have ever witnessed and it was only the first song.

It just was great from leaving the parking lot when we arrived to going back to the packing lot after it was over.....everything between was amazing. Thank you mystery PJ 10C fella....thank you fans.....thank you Eddie....and thank you my loving wife Lindsay for sharing it with me.

Ever since I cant buy enough PJ music and boots....I became a 10C member right away bought some gear and its been a daily addiction ever since.....a life changing experince for me.

Im a noob.....so I will ask is there an album or anything I can or find with Walking the Cow on it? I dream to hear this again.

I really dont knowanything about torrents so I was hoping maybe there is this song on something they released.

Thank you for listening.....this meant something to me.

wow

These were my first shows too, and I can't say how very lucky I was to have met the people I did, because of them, one really great guy in particular who even put up with some drama, and the amazing Mr. Vedder, I'm pretty well sold for life.

Glad to see I'm not the only one late to the experience, and now just anxiously waiting for my chance to see to band in person - listening to old shows is driving me crazy!!

Sounds like you had a fantastic experience, great to hear, and once again, thanks to the awesome people here
