Hey JoWesley! pleased to meet you in person and again here! Once I hit the festival, we were on a mission to get to the artist tent and I never had a chance to get shirts for my kids....I hope your kids like their shirts (I'll try to find some on-line!)
...offaroundthebend: we must trade some pics! We had an unbelievable time up on that balcony!
.......
as for that guy...
I think it was Danny Moder, Julia Roberts husband behind D-Rod. I know it wasn't Mark Wahlberg as my husband would have recognized him in a second.
Thanks again for all the birthday wishes!

Oh I know I saw that too and was not too happy. This was my 2nd time seeing them, and my first was chicago day 2 of last year.
Thanks for the pics though man, you took some really good ones.0 -
To the original thread starter You should have ran down to the stage for the big stage gathering at the end! How amazing would it be to say you were on stage with Pearl Jam!JUST PLAY THE F***ING NOTE!!!0

Anyone up on the balcony would have had to cut through some security to get onstage. As you exited the balcony from the stairs, you could only go left as there was a fence on your right that prevented direct access to the stage and a security guard....I could have taken him down.
I think I posted on the first page how I was able to get up there....briefly.. some phone calls were made from my husband's crane company who erected all the stages at Lolla to some people (two great guys!) who organized the festival. ....phone calls paid off and we were blessed first with artist wristbands and finally, with Pearl Jam guest passes that granted access to the stage. Life is good. "you shall be released" ~ EV0 -

How did you manage to get a seat up there?Hey brother.0 -

yea...that guy behind Dennis Rodman... I don't know who he is but he looks familiar and he was standing near me during the concert.
Alas, I did not meet the band **sigh** but I can't have it all, can I?
My husband's company erected the stages for Lolla last year and they are contracted to erect the stages for the next three years. When I heard that Pearl Jam was headlining at Lolla, I asked him to do whatever he needed to do to get me backstage. We didn't know if we had any tickets until Thursday and once we got to Lolla and met up with our guy, he gave us the Pearl Jam guest passes that got us to the balcony on the stage. I've seen Pearl Jam several times, flew to Hawaii to see them but this was an experience that I can't quite describe. I was living a dream last night.
I thought it was Kevin Bacon at first. But I was wondering who the people were that got on stage. I knew a couple people, but who were all the randoms that were on there. I couldn't tell if he was bringing up people in the crowd or crowd surfers or what. Anyone know?0 -

The Chicago skyline is so beautiful. What an amazing backdrop. Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away0 -
Finally got all my pics onto the computer, now to figure out this photobucket business.
NONE of my friggin' PJ pics turned out (I guess because I was bouncing around too much), but I have tonnes of Ben Harper pics (a few with Eddie). I met a whole bunch of awesome people on Sunday (very unlike me), so I have a bunch of fan pics too!

Those people came out from underneath me...so to speak. I looked down from the balcony and they kept joining the party on the stage. I'm pretty sure some were artists who performed at Lolla and others were friends, etc.
....and yes, the final answer to the question of how we were lucky enough to get backstage boils down to *connections*.....and it will probably never happen again so I will count my blessings and take a moment out of every day to close my eyes and think about how close I was to see and feel the music of my beloved Pearl Jam in my city.....
