from Insidetherockposters blog:

What is cool about this poster is that it was based on an actual event. In 1992 the capital was under construction and the guys were on tour with a stop in Austin. At night Ed decided to climb to the top of the building. Yes he did climb to the top.





awesome!!!!!

    Two quick questions

    1) who is the artist?

    2) are there anymore postcards?

    Originally I wished they didn't do the cut out with Eddie in the top left but it is growing on me... Fast

    What is the actual event? I lived in Austin a while and I'm very curious.

    Did Ed climb the Texas state Capitol building??

    I just looked at past concerts and PJ played in Austin on 4/28/92!
    Edit: Also someone commented on instagram "when the capitol building was under construction, Eddie and a friend climbed the scaffolding of it"

    From the Pearl Jam Twenty book:
    April 28-30 1992
    City Coliseum, Austin Texas; Bronco Bowl, Dallas; Unicorn Club, Houston

    Pearl Jam opens three shows for
    Soundgarden in Texas. Vedder gives
    Everybody another huge scare while
    climbing an I-beam in Dallas.

    Eddie Vedder: In the beginning, the urge
    to stage climb was from being in the
    crowd waiting for the next band to go
    on, and there'd be thirty minutes as a set
    change, and I'd be looking at the venues
    and the theaters and the balconies and
    the shapes of the rooms, and I thought,
    God, it would be great to be able to climb
    up there, and I bet you could go from
    that point to that point. Like, if you had
    the opportunity, wouldn't that be a great
    thing to do? And then all of a sudden
    you had the chance to do that; like you
    had the mike and you had the stage and
    you could do that. And then once you
    got up there, you realized, Wow, no one's
    been up here for a long time! There were
    inches of dust. Who knows what had
    happened in that building for years? But I
    definitely went to places that no one had
    been to in a long time.

    Matt Cameron: He got to the very top
    of this thing, and it's probably, like an
    eighty-foot fall or something, and I was
    just thinking, He's really going to hurt
    himself if he continues doing these types
    of performances. But he has that sort
    of mental toughness, like he's able to
    visualize his next step. That might have
    saved him from a big injury. But I'm glad
    he's not doing that anymore.
