A question for those.....

who have seen PJ 30, 40, 60, 100 times.....is the magic still there whenever you see a show or does it ever feel like you've seen about all you can see from the band and that it's maybe more about seeing old friends and such that you've met over the years. Just curious since I haven't had the luxury of seeing that many shows.

Agreed about the NE too. I have seen them in NY and Philly and the crowds just ROCK, especially compared to the crew here in MN and the west coast.
The excitement and anticipation counting down the months, weeks, days till the show! Oh how I love it!
I'm giddy thinking about the possibility of a new tour
My mom asked me many many years ago why I spend so much money seeing the same band over and over?
My reply... " For the memories "
I've been so very lucky to have so many great ones and I hope many many more are to come.

yes yes you may think don't go to the shows if its boring etc etc blahblah but it's not THAT bad obviously.
Within a few months in 2003 I went to 14 shows in two countries, which was a lot for me. No, it did not get old. Each shows is about the crowds, the people you meet, the lights, the space, the venue, the banter, the camaraderie between the band members, the possibility that they might play some rare song.
I've walked out of shows and heard people saying, "Wow, that was the most amazing concert I've ever seen," right after hearing someone saying, "Wow that sucked." A show is about what you bring into it and what you come out with. A concert, any concert, can change you, and that remains as true for me now as it was 15 years ago.
I saw them in Missoula in 2012 and it was my first Pearl Jam concert since 2006 and as soon as they walked out on stage... Wow I'd missed that. It had been far too long. And I'm saving up to go on the next tour, as many shows as I can afford.
Awesome reply. :thumbup:

I'm the opposite. The memories are great but I want to re-experience that wave of energy as often as possible. I don't want to have to rely on memories so I try to see as them as many times as possible.

knowing that anything can happen at any time has made it wild journey x 10
and btw, there's no need for me to document here how many shows i've been to...
and road trips - bumping into friends on the street in a strange city - meeting people from the board for the first time even though you've been talking to them for over 15 years
there's a lot of love in this big circle - and although we get old it never does!!
I personally think hearing songs like Better Man and Alive and Jeremy are great but I also haven't had the opportunity to follow the band around for mutiple shows where you get them regularly.
