Wow, amazing. You were at that show?? Too bad I was a bit too young to go to concerts at that time...
How was that concert?
Wouldn't it be great if they would Vera again?0 -
The 1st Pearl Jam song i heard live was Why Go, at Brixton Academy July 13th 1993. The feeling of first seeing them live was simply breathtaking, i haven't looked back since!!

Hail, Hail at Blossom Music Center, Cleveland 1998
...and I felt like one of the "lucky ones"! Ed came riding out on stage on a skateboard, set down his composition book and bottle, and BAM they went off!0 -
Go in Berlin this year.
The crowd went nuts, and all I could do was jump up and down, sing my butt off and smile.
It felt so unreal, yet at the same time completly natural that the band were standing right in front of me. Now, thinking back I can't believe I didn't faint or anything.. But it just seemed like it was the most natural thing in the world for them standing there and playing those song I've listened to countless times the past years.. it was the weirdest feeling...0 -

My first opener was Oceans. I could not believe how perfect the song was for what I was going through at the time. Very special show, too. London Ontario September 05. Full of rarities...
I had to wait my 6th show to have release (Verona this year).
I could not believe it. I cried like a baby. It truly is a special opener, and you will appreciate it even more having waited for it a long time
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.0 -

I GOT SHIT....
first song of the buenos aires sound check...what can I say about how I felt .... just imagine that song...we were in the venue´s entrance, but the doors were closed...so we could hear everything but we couldnt see...it was hot, like 13.30 hs....in that moment the intro started to sound....it stopped...started again...stopped.....we all said (we were like 15 guys there) "it must be a guitar tech"....but suddenly, like the fifth intro trial eddie started "my lips are shaking my nails are bit off" and they played the whole song ... it was such an amazing moment...to have my first time as a surprise...not waitin it at all...it was just unforgettable..0 -

'Animal' at Finsbury Park in 1993...
blew...
me...
away...
standing in a field, fighting my way to the front during the support acts ready for PJ followed by Neil Young. 'Animal' came from out of nowhere and we didn't stop jumping until it got dark! My first all-day gig and one I'll never, ever forget.
check the setlist out:
Animal, Go, Once, Blood, Even Flow, Jeremy, Glorified G, Daughter, Alive, Why Go, Leash, Porch/(Fuckin' Up)/(Tearing)
'Nothing As It Seems' in Cardiff in 2000 was pretty special too.“Do not postpone happiness”

I wish I had seem PJ back in the early 90s...damn, I was born a bit too late...0 -
Mine was Can't Keep, in Melbourne (20th Feb 03), and it was quite surreal. I remember thinking this is it (after having a few beers with a famous australian cricketer!), and after a slow start they burst into Breakerfall which was awesome.
On another note, am I one of a very few number of people who has seen them at opposite sides of the globe, as i have seen them in Reading, England this year. But to see them whilst on holiday in Australia was truely a great way to enjoy my time off work!!!!!
