    30 years ago!






    Happy 30th anniversary to both the Red Rocks 1995 shows. Best nights ever.

    If I had the chance to go back in time to the year 1995 to catch a few Pearl Jam shows in June, it would of have to been these 2 nights @ Red Rocks. That Jeremy version they played live,  blows my mind! 
    I'd go with you D to catch them both again! I was at both nights, and what memories I have from those shows! Both shows were great, but nothing like the second night with that amazing setlist. No Jeremy was outstanding, but even more fantastic was Falling Down. A OTOTO...I mean come on. It doesn't get much better!

    No it doesn't. I remember listening for the first time that Jeremy cover as a bonus track on the Pearl Jam unofficial bootleg CD Road Rage which was for the Salt Lake City '95 show. It blew my mind! I couldn't stop listening to it. Years past I was able to see both shows, on VCD. 

    I'm not sure why they haven't been back to Red Rocks.

    I have that boot too and it's a good one! 
    I have one of 2 theories about why that haven't played Red Rocks since. One, I think the band knows just how special those two nights were and could never capture that "lightning in a bottle" feel at Red Rocks like they did in 1995.
    Or two, Red Rocks seats 9,000 and if they played there again they'd have to most likely play 3 nights because those shows would sell out fast. Giving us fans the opportunity to see them. I prefer to think it's theory number one with Red Rocks being such a sacred venue to the band. I know it is to me.

    SiriusXM PJ played one hell of a Melbourne 1995 show this afternoon. Jack was on fire!

    I'd be down for a limited date,  2026 Pearl Jam acoustic/unplugged tour with Jack behind the kit. I think he'd really shine in an intimate setting where his grooves can stand out. Maybe 15 dates in 6 cities (some venues get 3 shows).
