1. 1996 Savage Hall Toledo -first pearl jam concert I ever went to. 30 second through "I got shit", Eddie stopped the band and said, "someone forgot to do their homework".

2. 1998 Blossom Music Center Cleveland -Front row! 16 year old kid (me) touches Eddie and gets to hear, "Sorry man...I cant" as I hold up a magic marker and concert T.

3. 2004 Toledo Sports Arena Toledo -Neil Young was there....I dont have to say anything more on the subject...

    Toledo 96 was my first concert too, were you in general admission? i remember it was intense (in my early teens then) and got tossed around. was in cleveland 98 too (3rd row center).

    my rankings:
    1. Cleveland 98
    2. Pittsburgh 00: Ed had a long preset, stone sang, the "wash" incident. great finish for that leg.
    3. Orlando HOB 03: small show, not the most memorable setlist, but great venue, exclusive (most were radio show winners) and my bro got us in with his "connections." its great to know someone, eh?

    3. _TIE_ Boise, Idaho, 11-03-00 -- Saskatoon, 09-07-05. I can't decide between my first Pearl Jam show or the show that I was front row in front of Mike. Tremor Christ and an amazing Betterman competing with Eddie in the front row during Porch. It's too close to call.

    2. Vancouver, 09-02-05. Being front row is an experience, but I hold this show up a little higher.. Fifth row means being completely surrounded by crazed fans who are lost in the music with you. It's a tangible energy and the Vancouver crowd was insane this night. Favorites of the night were Down, Blood and the Alive (HEY, HEY!) solo.

    1. The Gorge, 09-01-05. A looong drive to a magical venue, an amazing setlist, the longest PJ show ever. Not For You/To Our Home tag, Undone for the first time ever... Hard To Imagine, In My Tree, Porch AND Blood.. I'd say I've been pretty lucky Pearl Jam-wise.

    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    3. 7-9-95 Milwaukee - My first show. :)

    1. 6-21-03 Alpine Valley - Great crowd, great setlist, awesome day. If you weren't there you just wouldn't understand. Listen to the bootleg and then get back to me. :D

    3) 7/11/2003 - Mansfield, MA - 3rd of 3 amazing shows ... The Experiment.

    2) 6/12/2007 - Munich Germany - Seeing them in Europe was such a great experience.

    1) 4/12/2004 - Boston, MA The show that vaulted them to favorite band status for me ... lots of new Vitology material ... great set list (created by the road crew) amazing night.
