Let's hear them, mine is NOT going to see them in 2010 when they played Columbus. I would of had to take the night off so I thought to myself I've seen them enough... dummy! I'll probably never finish Backspacer. I'm missing more songs off that album than any other one.

1. My broke recently HS grad ass not getting tickets to the '98 show in Minneapolis. What a tour I missed.
2. Deciding to take my sister up on Monday Night Football tickets instead of driving to Chicago for my 21st B-day and seeing one of the best shows of the '00 tour. Still own the boot so I can torture myself every now and then.
3. Buying tickets and planning a trip to Bonnaroo in '08 to see an awesome bunch of artists including PJ only to be told by work that I couldn't have off because of a mandatory department training. Had to sell my tickets on Flea Bay for a $100 less than face value. Then of course PJ proceeds to break out WMA for the first time in over a decade and blow the place away with an amazing version of Porch.
Never again Pearl Jam. I will be there when I can!

I saw the band for the first time in 1998 (Auckland) and didn't see them again until 2011-09-11 (Toronto 1). That's 13 Years between shows! Admittedly, I wasn't a big concert goer until recently (2011) but it breaks my heart to know that the band played Toronto in 2000, 2003, 2005 (along with three other shows within a 100-or-so-mile radius), twice in 2006, and 2009 and I missed all of those shows (along with Buffalo 2003 and 2010). Even worse, I absolutely loved that 2011 Night 1 show but still didn't go the next night!!!!
For what it's worth, I saw them in London 2013 (and paid a steep price for those Stub Hub tix), Buffalo 2013, and BOTH Toronto shows this past spring. SOOOOOO good.
Not buying the PJ20 Patagonia backpack because I thought at the time that it wouldn't have gone so fast.
Not travelling a lot during my undergrad and postgrad years. I could have seen at least some UK shows in 2009, 2010 (missed the Hyde Park show for 3 months) and 2012 (missed the IoW show for 6 months).
Not purchasing the orange RNDM t-shirt from the Acts era.
Not going (alone) to the Trieste (a Leatherman show! If I had know... Last minute cancellation from a friend), Berlin (long shot anyway) and Leeds (stupid English transportation means) 2014 shows.

I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..
Between songs Ed told a story about how passionate Philly fans were and mentioned me personally as an example, then asked if I was there in the audience. I often wonder what may have happened if I was, It literally drives me crazy to have missed that night.
Still never heard the boot and need to before I die, just to torture myself a bit more , so any help w/that would be greatly appreciated.
And not buying the '95 Zebra poster from the gigs.....

I missed the Boston experiment among other shows because of my 8 year hiatus. (I scaled back on the shows I was going to for a while. Luckily, I wised up before it was too late.)
Letting my 10C membership lapse during my college years still irks me too.

Not traveling to see them more in from 98 to 03
Deciding not to drive up to Moline to try and get a ticket and missed out on No Code
Most notable regret though would be missing out on the Calgary show in the summer of 1993. That was probably my PJ pivot point.
A buddy had gotten two tix for us, plus his parents were going to drive us down. I skipped out for some stupid reason I'm sure.
As a high school student it would have been my first concert experience that would surely have established the 'hook' to see them more. I was already a fan boy, but I would have had a better appreciation for the live shows and made better efforts in the forthcoming years.
