    I loved the 98 tour. Went to six shows... Alpine 1 and 2, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Indianapolis. So many great memories. Being twenty years old and road tripping with a few friends to new cities. Best Pearl Jam tour ever. And great posters. Still have my St. Louis poster from 1998. I need to get that framed!

    Me too. Have that one framed up in my studio/office

    My first show was 2000 so my favorite thing is Live on 2 Legs. Probably the greatest single disc live album ever released. Discuss...

    Even the openers were badass.......iggy pop, mudhoney, rancid, spacehog, wallflowers, frank black, murder city devils, etc.

    I believe one of the Canadian shows was actually a mini-festival. Like 5 opening bands

    In Montreal the opener was Cheap Trick. Talk about a unique opener.

    I saw three shows on the Yield tour. Missoula, Vancouver, and Seattle II. Missoula was my first actual Pearl Jam show. Prior to that my only PJ experience was at Lolla '92 in Vancouver. A highly energetic show, but I wasn't super familiar with Ten yet, and the set was fairly short. I often consider Missoula to be my first real PJ show.

    The Yield tour had this crazy energy to it. Pearl Jam exploded onto the scene in the early 90s but the Vitalogy tour fell apart, and the No Code tour was small. Pearl Jam was hugely popular but there was a decently sized gap between proper tours. This created this big pent up demand and energy because so many people hadn't managed to see them before the Yield tour.

    It's still my favourite tour. They were still young enough to have that raw energy on stage, but old enough that they had 5 kickass albums to lean on. I was watching the Single Video Theory DVD not long ago and I forgot how young they still were on that tour. Crazy.

    edit: The opener in Missoula was a band called Goodness which had one of the people from Heart in it. Frank Black opened Vancouver, and Wallflowers/Sean Lennon opened Seattle.

    I saw the Friday Forum show in LA. X and Tenacious D opened up for them. I remember Jack Black saying "thanks to Pearl Jam for playing with us tonite" Later on Vedder says " I want to thank X and Tenacious D for letting us play with them".

    Sometimes was an opener. Brain of J was HEAVY!!! Vedder danced to the solo of DTE.

    My first ever PJ show! :-)

    I'm still looking for a copy of this setlist...

    EVERYTHING!!!! The Yield Tour rocked !!! Saw them 4 times. Both AV shows, Chicago and St. Louis. Have the posters from them too.

    Oh, if only they would rock out posters now like they did back then. Print for print, '98 might be the best poster year of them all !!!!!

    Caught that opening pre show song on my tape recorder. Yup, I was taping then.
    In 1998 got to see 2 shows in Maui, 2 shows in Seattle, Maryland, Washington DC (DAR) and Camden. Had a lot of fun and met some great fans that we're still in contact with.
    The posters were pretty cool also.
