During a wintry drive down to the shore to find our summer apartment with my future roomies. Candy played, rewound, played again as I drifted off to sleep; Black. She lived in Pittsburgh at the time so I guess that is where she found it.I found my place......and it's alright0

It was a mixture of seeing the "alive, and Evenflow" videos on MTV, then seeing their MTV unplugged and after the Unplugged I was hooked.PJ: 10/14/00 06/09/03 10/4/09 11/15/13 11/16/13 10/08/14

In a rock-jazz bar in a popular tourist destination in Turkey, at the sea. The song was Jeremy, but I didn't know of course the band or the song name, at that time. I was thinking, WTF, this is so different than everything I heard.
Just like Zod, I don't remember the exact moment that I got introduced to PJ music. I remember watching MTV Unplugged and Animal performance with my mouth open.
I remember one afternoon, literally falling off my bed while listening to the Ten cassette, with the beauty of music. It happened twice, with Black and Garden.
It was university years, it was good weather and I had both Ten and Vs. cassettes in the cheap car, driving to classes.
My DJ friend in the university radio would tell me; they'd have meetings and the supervisor would ask: "Who played PJ today?". Of course then he'd have to ask:"OK, anyone who didn't play PJ today?".
I also have a story of re-finding PJ music again like Sallyroo but it's for another thread.What's your part, who you are?

i bought Vs based on Rolling Stone magazines 4.5 star review. i was still a big Guns n Roses fan at the time. I didn't think anyone could be better than them. Man was I wrong and glad to be so.0

I heard it at the local record store, bought the cassette on the spot. Circa 91/92
Evenflow was playing, never heard anything like it before.Post edited by hrd2imgn on0 -
Heard them on radio and saw them on TV and then saw them in Portland later in 1993 and was blown away.0
