to the girl who wouldnt let her boyfriend enjoy the show tonight...

rearviewmiror · June 2008

Took my then wife to VFC 2 in Boston. Best seats of my life until DC this year. She was awful. Just stood there and forbid me to have a single beer. Her mood killed it for me. Especially when she made me leave early and I had to miss I've got a feeling.

Took the gf to Va Beach DC and now both boston shows. She has been incredible. Wants to get into the band now and loves the live show. It's been a real awakening. She only knows a few things past the first 3 albums but it doesn't stop her from enjoying it and she's great with me about my insanity. Says she understands me 10 times better now. So I agree with a previous poster.

For fans and future fans

yes but, taking the gf to a pearl jam show is the ultimate relationship test so we must continue to bring them. Until us men can find a girl who can enjoy the show as much as we do we must bring annoying girls in high heels and mini skirts to weed them out. One day, for all of us single males, we will bring that one special girl to a pj show and watch her reaction to the music and will shall know if we can go further with them, or run to the bathroom after the show never to be seen again.

This guy speaks da troof! Bringing "THE ONE" to a PJ show is definately a final test on my list. If she can tolerate me jumping up and down, dancing, singing at the top of my lungs, and air guitaring, then we'll have a good understanding. Many more bonus pts. for a woman who can enjoy the shows just the same. Besides, it's going to be hard to convince a significant other that I want to go to anywhere from 3-6 consecutive shows to see the SAME BAND, not to mention the ticket price, travel, and hotel expenses. It's not a very easy thing to rationalize.

My other final test is perhaps MUCH more challenging. I want to take "THE ONE" on a week long hiking trip. Roughly 30-50 miles of hiking in the woods, with no showers, no electricity, no phones, no internet, and potentially no out houses even, for a WEEK. If she doesn't come out of the woods complaining, angry, and bug bitten then I'll know I have a keeper.

My wife isn't a diehard PJ fan by any means, but she doesn't dislike them either. Our musical taste actually are completely different from one anothers yet she has gone to a few shows with me in our time together and always encourages the passion I have for PJ which is all you can ask for out of someone who doesn't "get it" like I do.

To date, she's been to five PJ shows with me, her first being 10/31/00 and I always leave it up to her on whether she wants to attend or not. She was going to pass on all the shows during PJ's 3 night run in SF back in '06 due to her being 7 months pregnant but just before the final show she asked me in a sweet, hopeful tone if I would mind her coming along...and I was like HELL YEA you can come with me!!

And it was a priceless evening too as they opened with Release (that song was the opener for her first show back in '00), they played "Untitled/"got a car, got some gas" with a new reference to bringing the kid along right before MFC which was special considering our first child was about to enter the world and she got to witness "Red Mosquito" which I had requested Ed to play when I met him out back on 7/16!

Peace,

at MSG 2 i stood next to a "g/f" who was a total bitch. Im totally ok with people who dont know all the words and have a good time, but this chick wanted to make sure that EVERYONE around her was as miserable as she was. During Release she shot a stare at me like I was a fucking maniac....fine no problem...as the night went on she would have loud conversations with her boyfriend who also seemed annoyed. Finally, during Cropduster I could take no more. After she sat for like 3 songs she got up and spread her legs to scoot me over AND THEN said "excuse me" i grabbed her arm and told her the next time she touched me it better because she was dancing along to the show. Her boyfriend swept right in the rescue saying she had to use the restroom and was drunk and whatever else....she came back 2 songs later right before SOLAT and i sure as fuck was not going to let her ruin that for me. I switched places with my boyfriend (who is equally into PJ) and i think the gf just gave up on spreading her hate. Her boyfriend got way into the show as it went on too.

and the final note, there is nothing like going to a pJ show with another fan everyone knows that....but it truly is something when your significant other totally gets it.....magic.

I have got to say, as a Pj girl, nothing pisses me off more than seeing girls sit -SIT- the whole show 15 rows in front of me. At Hartford the one in front of me even made her bf sit with her. The whole time hed keep popping his head up to see what was going on. I want to lean over and say 'dude, did you leave your balls at home?! Grow a set and stand the fuck up like you know you want to!' Whatever.

BOYS, if your girl is NOT into the music, leave her at home to shop or whatever people that don't love good music do. Seriously, do yourself and the rest of us the favor.

And I swear, if I see another chick in heels and a mini at Pj, I WILL become the 'Mansfield puker'!!!

I saw that at the show I went to. This girl clearly just went because her bf had tics..they were in the VIP section. She looked bored out of her skull...and looked at everyone having fun they were bonkers...lol.

Just FYI. I am omw, wearing my vfc blue patriot tee w some grey long shorts. Judge all ya like! Haha.

SeeTheWorld · June 2008

I would never have this problem with my husband at a Pearl Jam show... or many others, for that matter, but he was kind of a stick in the mud when we saw Ben Harper and Jack Johnson a couple years back. And you bet if I were to go to see one of the "harder" bands he's into (like Tool) I wouldn't be as into it as he... but I wouldn't bitch at him all night, make him sit, or accompany me to the restroom. Mostly though, if I don't want to go to something like that with him I tell him to take a friend. Works out better for everyone.

ScottandPearlJam · June 2008

I took my girlfriend who wasn't really into PJ. She never complained but did take like 600 pictures for me

i've been enjoying everyone's posts, but i gotta say, a band shouldn't be the deal breaker of a relationship. If you think you've met "the one" but she doesn't like pearl jam, you should probably still marry her.

I took my girlfriend to DC. She had heard a couple songs before but wasn't a big fan. She stood with me the entire show, clapping, jumping, and best of all didn't rip my face off for my atrocious singing. She left the show with an appreciation for PJ and now tells me everytime she discovers a new song that she likes. Tis awesome.

If she would have sat there I would have ended it.

Hey bro what section were you in?

DarkStar · June 2008

ha! i was there for the incident doin'the-evolution posted about...we were ticket buddies...anyway, i felt really bad for the guy...he was so freakin excited when he got there...arms raised, fists pumpin, screamin and singing...then miss persnickety started in with her passive aggressive tantrum and high-maintenance self-centered antics. at first it was fairly easy to ignore as both of them were fairly short and we could see right over them and there was mainly just a lot of standing up and sitting down/pouting going on...but as the concert progressed this girl got more aggressive and it finally culminated in a fit of screaming (very loud) in the guys face...i couldn't really tell what she was saying...but she was being very nasty.

i asked the guy if he was okay (clearly he wasn't but I wanted him to know he had some support around him)...I also asked him if the girl was okay and what was wrong and he said he had no idea what her problem was. i asked if she was drunk and he said no appearing completely frustrated.

whatever the goings-on were for that girl she totally destroyed that poor guy and brought him down...they finally left together after about six or so songs.

at any rate, i think all of us in the area were befuddled as to why this guy didn't let the girl go cry in the car by herself...but what do we know. i did find it funny that after the lights came up at the end of the show a pristine ticket lay on the floor in front of us...and as i picked it up and read it (Sec 1 row EE seat 6) i saw that poor guys balls layin there on the cement floor. i kept the ticket and left his balls in case he wanted to retrieve them at a later date.

oh snap!

my guy went on his yearly kayak trip this weekend. he looks forward to it all year. it's 'mantime' which i think is great. i totally understand that. but his buddy brought his wife. why did he do that? and why did she butt in like that? dumb on her part. brian said she nagged them to death. and the hubby did nothing.

there's a time and place for everything. these type women suck! .......and i'm a woman myself and i still don't understand it.

reversedarwinism · July 2008

At one show (chris cornell) I was at this girl kept eyeing me before we got into the venue, but she was with her boyfriend with her and I didn't think anything about it. During the show, they were on the 1st row and I was on the second. She rubbed her ass against my crotch for 90% of the show, even leaned back on my chest at times, and occasionally leaned over to her boyfriend who was desperately trying to film the show when the security guy wasn't looking. She was a super hot, short mexican girl and it was almost distracting me from a great show. I'd never been that close to the stage, which was a cool experience. Anyway my friend just laughed at the whole thing. Afterwards, it was hillarious, but man what a slut!

Some of us will put up with almost anything if the ass is really good. I hope it is.

Been to alot of shows, I think its safe to say there wouldn't be much demand for a "Girls of the 10 club" calendar. Talent lacks.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA This post is freakin FUNNY!!!!

I agree to a certain exxxtent. But then again..... REAL Pearl Jam chicks dont go to the shows to impress but instead go to rock out so have to be comfy!

Either way, this made me LOL!!! Pearl Jam GUYS on the other hand.......

that sounds ALOT like the couple in front of me at the Santa Barbara 06 show. Freakin ANNOYING. Whats worse is they were in the ten club section and didnt even know any songs! :eek: The dude was filming and the chick was hammered grinding on the guys 1 seat away from me.

to the girl who wouldnt let her boyfriend enjoy the show tonight...
