I remember seeing Corduroy in 1994 and wondering what the hell was going on. Eddie on guitar?
That "WHAT THE HELL???" moment came for me during Not For You in April 94. Sure it debuted live a whole month previously, but I had no freakin' clue what was going on other than I felt quite tingly in all those special places.
I was at the March 7 show in Denver where Not For You made it's debut. Ed told a story about getting a letter from a guy in prison for rape who loved Pearl Jam's music, and said that their music isn't for him.
I saw the first and only (I think) No Jeremy & I've Just Seen a Face at Red Rocks in 95.
The first 2003 USA Bu$hleauger (made the national news).
Most likely the first time Mike McCready ever handed his guitar to Jerry Cantrell during the solo for Alive in LA in '09.
And the first Sleeping By Myself performance in SD this year.
There are probably others. That's what's great. As you keep going to shows, you see unique events. It's fun!

“Do not postpone happiness”
(Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)
There are others, but the one that is special for me is my wife & I saw the very first performance of 'Unthought Known' at Eddie's solo Newark NJ show. He said he was up most of the night and he wrote it in the hotel room. He referred to it as 'Unripened Fruit'. It was absolutely fantastic. One of my favorite versions of the song. Thankfully I have a great quality boot to relive the experience;)
Huh, woulda thought I'd know this off the top of my head, but no...
The bridge totally counts in my book for Otherside and Dancing Barefoot.
But so too do I count Santa Cruz at EV in Santa Cruz when he said, "I just wrote this..."
And also The End at EV Philly...
But I coulda seen tons of firsts at EV and would have no clue....
When was first Alt Jeremy? I got that Sacto 95 but think they had done it before that...
Saw the first and only Hitchhiker to date (Manchester 2012) and both of the only 2 performances of Sleeping By Myself (San Diego & LA 2013).
Just realised i was at the first After Hours too in LA
