    Hope ya’ll had a great time! We were pretty close to you guys, in 203. My son made it most of the way before taking a several song power nap and waking up by the time they played Alive. The grin on his face during the show is something I’ll never forget.

    I too will be taking my 11 year old to his first Pearl Jam concert. It will also be his first concert ever. We listen to the satellite radio everyday on our way to school. This band has been a huge musical influence on me and I hope my son will also feel the live Pearl Jam magic. We were supposed to see them in Sacramento 2 years ago but were gutted the day of the show. My wife and I have seen them several times and have never been disappointed. I hope my son will find the same love their songs as I do.

    Glad you guys had a great time! So many great memories created. My wife and I took our daughter who was 13 at the time to see her first 2 concerts ever in Toronto during the PJ20 tour. She had the best time ever, we took her to the pre party, she loved that and even won a poster in the raffle 😂 
    The thing I remember most from that was when Neil Young came on stage and she said who is the old guy 😂 
    We have taken her one more time since to see them. 
    Now she has 3 kids and hopefully as they get older she can take them to concerts as well. I doubt her kids our grandkids will ever see PJ live. Her oldest is only 5, so still a little young. 
    I would love to take her oldest to a PJ once she gets older and band is still playing and going on tour. I’ve been laying the ground work for the last yr by playing videos of PJ  and telling her what her mom’s favourite songs are.

    DJJAZZY so precious... I feel your joy and connection to your son. An enduring and impactful memory that is certain. 

    Did you frame the poster Black35?

    My 7yo has seen Eddie several times with me lately, but Seattle will be her first time seeing the entire band.

    She missed seeing them with me in PHX '22 - wife said "Eddie swears too much." I made her promise we could see them the next time they played Seattle, no matter what.

    I also feel the intergenerational draw. My daughter's first real tour was Dead and Company in '22 (how that flew but PJ didn't, I don't know) - like a few of us here I was caught in that era between peak Dead and early PJ, and am so happy she's gotten to see some of the people and experiences that really shaped my youth.  We went from Boulder all the way to Bethel, catching 6-7 shows along the way - it was really something for a 5yo, and the start of our now annual summer adventure. 

    She's written her first song, with a cheap plastic ukulele, that she'll be playing in her 1st grade talent show next week. I promised her we'd build her a real uke when we get back from our trip this summer. As long as she promises never to smash it on stage. 
    Getting this one framed - the only kid who sang an original song. 



    For next year, we're going to practice "Won't back down" on the uke. Ed's been crushing it, as I'm sure you caught in Portland.
