Interesting. But I wouldn't say pj's music is secondary

Still, the ultimate fan club experience has to go to Pearl Jam and their 10 Club which pre-dates PJ itself and was actually started when the band was known as Mother Love Bone. Over the years the 10 Club has offered its members tremendous access to music, the band’s vast archives and exclusive experiences. Recently, “10” provided what I believe is the single greatest fan club opportunity when it recognized one of its oldest and most loyal members. Brian Farias, a Pearl Jam fan from Providence, Rhode Island, has seen the band over 100 times dating back to 1991 and was, what the band called, a Charter Member of the 10 Club. Farias was entered into a draw with nine other charter members for the chance to attend two Pearl Jam gigs in Amsterdam. While on route, Farias was also extended the privilege of putting together the complete set list for one of the shows. This, by far, has to be the single greatest fan recognition/reward I have ever heard about. Farias successfully put together what fans are calling ‘the greatest PJ set list ever’ and the band even invited him out on stage to take a bow during ‘his’ show. Wow…speechless. Twenty years, countless hours and a significant monetary investment in the band paid off in a big way for Farias, but I’m sure every single 10 Club member felt as if they too were being rewarded by the band for their loyalty.
"30 second interaction while receiving an autograph and maybe a photo"
or be 10 hours (or a night) off waiting before the gates open :corn: - thats hard
We are all in the same boat : We are thankful, for what we get - and sometimes it is just Mike look at you during a show (or was it the guy next to me :fp: ??)
We all want a piece off the band - how they can to live up to expectations ??
The fan club give us the feeling we are closer to the band - just my opinion

Definitely not. Not even close.
It's an amazing fan club. It's the only fan club I've been a member of (aside from email lists), but I definitely feel like I get my money's worth and then some.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
thats great!!!Brian is a really cool - great guy!!!
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I love that they did that for Brian, and I love that we're recognized as being a great club
I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

I keep reading this and just don't buy it. If the band made this setlist and played it in Cincinatti or Camden, it would be a good show. But knowing that a "superfan" made this setlist, it is a huge let down. I wouldn't have heard one new song at that show. If I was able to pick the selist, it would be loaded with ultra rarities, and I wouldn't have changed the OTOTO status of bugs.
Granted I am under the assumption that the band would agree to play them, but the article says they were open to almost everything he suggested.

Where does it say that?
