In which circumstances did you discover Pearl Jam ?
Hey Jammers,
I remember it was a very long time ago...I was 15 and at school, during a german lesson, a friend of mine gave me a tape with Dissident on it... just magical, I couldn't believe it, this voice seemed so unreal...!
After the lesson, i went seeing my friend to ask her if she knew more things about them... she showed me a photo of EV...(Really funny and awesome on it ...never see it anymore... :(( )
At the end of the week, i had my Vs tape... (i lived in countryside in the time)
I still love the guys... don't speak german at all... and i'm sure i've made mistakes in this post ! Sorry for my bad English ">
So please let me know in which circumstances did you discover PJ, which song did you listen first...thanks !

It's growing up just like me.
Fast forward to whatever year it was PJ played Troy and Atlantic City. I somehow heard about these shows (probably through ticketmaster emails or that concert notifier thing i had for a while... pollstar? maybe?) I would have gone to either of those shows but no one would go with me. I wanted to go SO BAD. Was it the Borgata they played? I don't remember.But everyone said it was too far and/or too expensive. Anyway a couple years later this girl tells me she wants to go see them and they're playing MSG. That was 2008. We had seats that were pretty much touching the roof, but we had a great time. Anyway after the show - I remember this cuz irony - she said to me "that was a life changing experience" in her full on post show high. I thought she was nuts and said it was a good show but "life changing" is a bit much. I found out about bootlegs a little while later and started listening to a LOT of them. A while later I see an ad on facebook from a travel agency promoting a travel group to Australia for the PJ tour plus an add on option for the 2 shows in NZ. Now I've had a thing for NZ for a very very long time. Just completely in love with the idea of the country. I contacted that travel agency, they sent me a quote just for the NZ portion. Robbed me blind but that's okay, at that time it was what I needed. Again, no one would go with me. I decided it was too good of an opportunity to pass up just cuz i have shitty friends. so I booked it for myself, went alone, met some cool peeps and had a great time. I guess you'd call it a 'life changing experience'? 2010 they played MSG again and the same girl wants to go, but I couldn't get tickets for that so we got tickets for Newark. I had to take the train from Queens to that show and climb 10,000 stairs to get to our seats in the rafters wearing one of them cam walker boots they put u in when u fuck up your ankle. The boot was bigger than the stairs. I almost died a couple times. It was fun. Anyway that was the last show that girl went to with me. She grew out of it I guess. Since then, I've travelled to Chicago, Atlanta, Hartford, Baltimore, Australia, back to New Zealand, and even all the way to Brooklyn! (Seriously it took me longer to get home from one of those Brooklyn shows than it did from Hartford.) Starting next month PJis guiding me through my first trip to Europe. 5 countries. in less than two months which is more than I've ever been to in my whole life ever.
I'm sorry what was the question?

I love your story! Have a great time in Europe

I was 13 and at that time my music tastes were Run DMC, Public Enemy, NWA and The Boss
When I was sorting through the donated gifts I saw a tape that had "Arms raised in a V" on the cover.
I thought it looked cool and bought it the next day. I put the tape into my yellow sony "waterproof" Walkman and pressed play.
The rest is history.
...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!
