    29th I guess, 10 years old the first time I saw the "Jeremy" video on MTV. Demanded the Ten CD for Christmas that year. But the real point of no return was September 2, 1993. That was the night I went from PJ fan to superfan, decided I was out on U2, which had been my favorite band up to that point (which I realize now was only like a year or maybe less, but felt like forever to me at the time), and was introduced to what has been the second-most important band in my life (R.E.M.). A life-changing evening.

    29th. Fell in love with them in 91, mom wouldn’t buy me the cassette because a Walmart clerk told her it was devil worship music. Got it from an aunt in 92 for my 15th birthday  =)

    My 28th or 29th, I guess. I must have been 14 or 15 when I listend to them for the first time. A friend of mine had „Ten“ and introduced me to PJ. Can’t tell exactly how and when she got it. I’ve had the Album on Tape, as I didn’t have a CD Player. I remember that we’ve only had 3 TV Stations back then (no, it wasn’t East Germany 😉). MTV came to Germany that year or maybe a year later. We all had a crush on Eddie and collected every piece of paper from the magazines while singing along to “Alive”. Unfortunately I was to young to travel to concerts (and my parents didn’t allow me to go). So it took me many many years til I’ve figured out what a great live band they are.

    I found PJ as a weird high schooler like so many of y’all. 10years and counting. I’m hoping to celebrate my 10year Jammiversary (yeah I went there) by rounding out 10 shows in 2020!! Nashville will be #7 for me so leg two should be exciting!!

    Radio stations DID (and do) suck down there.  Unless you wanted to hear Jackyl or AC/DC, then Ft Myers radio was right there for you.. Hated that place.

    I was on the front lines.  Was 18 in 1991, got into them early, saw them Lolla 92 in Orlando for the first time.  Last time Fenway '18 and many in between.

    25 years for me since early '95 when I bought Vitalogy at a Blockbuster music.  Followed up with Ten later that summer and became hooked.  Wasn't able to catch first show until summer '98.

    First saw them in 1991 opening for RHCP/Nirvana, then at Lollapalooza 1992 & MTV Awards 1992
    Joined 10C in 93/94
    They didn't play in L.A. again until 1998, so there was a gap, but I have seen them on every tour since then!

    Thus, this is my 29th year of fandom
