    It was my first PJ show (San Diego 02) and the way I got the tickets was an utter miracle!

    This one because I was there and as you can see it was AWESOME:

    02/06/95 - Moore Theater: Seattle, WA (Fan Club show) [100m]
    attendance: 1,400
    support act: Magnog
    set: Release, Last Exit, Spin the Black Circle, Tremor Christ, Not for You, Corduroy, Lukin, Dissident, Act of Love, Animal, State of Love and Trust, Daughter/(W.M.A) /(Stuff and Nonsense), Improv , Whipping, Immortality, Go
    enc 1: The Kids Are Alright, Porch, Jack Irons chant/Blood
    enc 2: Jam, Satan's Bed, Rearviewmirror, Instrumental Jam
    enc 3: Act of Love
    notes: Free tickets were mailed to Ten Club members and PJ appeared as the "Piss Bottle Men." A new song/improv ('The Price of Everything' ?) is dedicated to Riz Rollins, a Seattle record store clerk and occasional funk DJ. Ed explains 'Whipping' as a song "... about getting hit in the face, turning your cheek and getting hit again. Come to think of it, all the songs are about that." 'The Kids Are Alright' is solo by Ed, accompanying himself on guitar. Neil Young joins PJ in a surprise 'Act of Love' encore

    good choice, i was at that one too!

    ...that's few reasons..

    For me, Casper, WY 6-16-95

    My first PJ show. I really didn't listen rock until 94...I was raised on country music but some of my friends always listened to PJ and Nirvana so I was exposed to it often. A few of them were lucky enough to call and get tickets...and a total of 12 of us made the trip.

    We drove from Denver the day of the show, 4 in my new Ford Aspire with no a/c and the rest in this stranger danger van. We got there plenty early for tailgating and drank a few beers before the show. One of these poor bastards drinks a Sunny D bottle filled with something that looks like Sunny D but isn't...only after he complains about the temperature of said oversized bottle. "Damn I'm so thirsty!" he spots the Sunny D bottle in the back of the stranger danger van. "It's so fucking hot!" (It was a very warm summer day in Casper) grabs bottle and says "Why is this bottle so hot?!" chug chug pshhhhhh "That's piss!!!" :evil: Classic. Never really liked that dude personally... :lol:

    Time comes to distribute tickets before show...everyone is arguing about who gets what and where and I'm just standing off to the side with this other guy that I barely know that's in the group and I said..."for what it's worth, I'll take whatever anyone doesn't want." Someone hands me a ticket and it says "General Admission". Everyone got confused thinking the seats were on the floor and the balcony was GA. HAHAHAHAHA! BEST SHOW EVER! I was on the rail, I crowd surfed for the first time (sorry if I crushed anyone btw...the guards were pretty cool too actually.), moshed...and rocked out. I didn't get a guitar pick or anything like that but I was sold. That was all it took. Started out with Long Road (which I love dearly and pray for that opener each time I see em) and just got better each song. My buddies were so mad that me and the other 'new fan' were on the floor. That place was slightly larger then my high school gym. They had a good spot with watch from.

    Then 2 days later Red Rocks for 2 nights in my home state. I need not say more.

    Why was the '95 tour amazing? Because I could actually get tickets? First show was Casper, WY. I was 12 years old and was on the rail for most of the night, getting repeatedly smashed into the rail and having body surfers crash over me. Most amazing musical experience of my life and really makes me miss the old days.

    March 18, 1995 - Myer Music Bowl - Melbourne

    I can’t talk about why the tour was amazing, because this was the only concert I saw! But this concert was AMAZING, FOR ME, for so many reasons.

    It was my first ever rock concert.

    I was completely and utterly besotted and obsessed with all things Pearl Jam, including the handsome lead singer OF COURSE. I WAS 14 AND A HUMAN GIRL ;)

    I was fortunate enough to sleep out for 2 nights for tickets with my older bestie. Only because my parents were living overseas, I’d come back home to start at boarding school after summer, and I had a SWEETHEARTED older sister who was sympathetic to my PJ obsession . . .

    Just sleeping out for the tickets was ridiculous amounts of fun for a 14-year-old. Can you imagine it? All these cool, older boys sleeping right in line with you! Joints being passed around. Beers, bourbon, ciggies, CD players. Singalongs. It was phenomenal.

    When the concert came around, I had never been so excited about anything before in my life. Christmas didn’t even compare to this. DID NOT COMPARE.

    The concert was about a month or two before I got expelled from said boarding school, so it was pre-expulsion trauma! I hadn’t TOTALLY FUCKED UP YET ;);)

    I was there with my best friends who at that stage shared wholeheartedly in my obsession! We were in heaven! (They all still love PJ now, but not like I do. I can see their eyes glaze over when I rant on, which is why I prefer to come and rant on with you lovely people!)

    It blew my mind off! We were in the fourth row, which became the first when the front rows jumped down into the small mosh pit.

    I could see EVERYTHING. UP CLOSE.

    I CRIED.

    WE YELLED OUT ‘WE LOVE YOU MIKE’ AND HE WAVED AT US.

    EDDIIIIIIIIIIIE barely looked up actually. He was kinda behind his hair. And he certainly didn’t look in our direction! I remember desperately hoping he’d look at me. Just once. But we were probably the types of fans he was disgusted with. Teenage girls. Ah well!

    20,000 FANS BROKE DOWN THE FENCE AND CAME INTO THE CONCERT! And they forgot to mention this concert in the PJ20 book, OVERSIGHT.

    I CAN’T REMEMBER MUCH ELSE BECAUSE IT WAS 18 YEARS AGO AND I’VE DRUNK TOO MANY VINOS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN!

    But all I know was the energy was fucking incredible, they were beyond amazing live and for the next 8 years my friends and I would call each other to wish each other a HAPPY 18th OF MARCH.

    Then this year, my beautiful, delectable husband went and found a copy of the concert poster for me for Christmas. It’s small and it probably cost him $25 but it’s the best present he’s ever got me. I cried, again.

    :D:D:D

    I remember this was on the nightly news! First time I heard of PJ (was only 14).
    Bootlegs from 95 ARE amazing!
    However I do miss camping out for tickets. Did for the 98 tour. Easily one of the best experiences of my life!
    I had it all once I gave it back
