My first PJ show too... I ended being the only one of all my friends to get a ticket...Such a great day in sun... some things i really remember were being in the pit and near the front for the whole set and looking up during nothing man..."caught a bolt of liiiightniiiing" and as Eddie sang that line he reached up and pretended to catch something. From where I was standing and the angle I had on him with the backdrop behind (which had a thunderstorm with lightning bolts lighting the screen)... there happened to be a bolt going through his hand just as he closed it... a great concert moment... the other thing that happened and very few people believe me until i show them but I caught a drumstick at that show... it landed right at my feet and i fell on top of it... about two tenths of a second later i was at the bottom of a huge pile of people scrabling for the stick it skittered across the ground through some feet just bouncing off my fingertips. When i finally grabbed onto it, the pile had completely fallen on top of me. After some pushing and shoving to gain my feet i stood up and there was some other dude holding on to the stick with one hand (handle end)... I had both my hands on the stick ... i was at first just so shocked that he didn't let go... it felt like i just played 8 hockey games and had a fight a period just trying to keep my hands on the stick... i could have just taken it from him there was definately no threat there...but instead i told him to hold on to it really really tightly and i just broke it into two peices, put my half in my pocket and said "not fighting ya for it, now we both have a peice to remember" put it in my pocket and left.... it sits in my bass guitar case right now...
1 of the best moments ever for me, I was front row center stage closer then anyone and rocking harder then everyone to corduroy. Closet I have ever been to a Pearl Jam concert. Something I'll never forget. The band was insane.
First show for me... amazing experience in a great venue. Still refer to it as PJapalooza with both stages and so many great bands - Cracker, Matthew Good, Cheap Trick! Can still recall the waiting against the fence to get in, the guys tailgating with the couch that Ed later referred to, the rain tent and getting to hear my first ever sound check... ah memories!
Ha ha dude I remember waiting by the fence to get in while listening to temple of the dog your saviour. and then the gates open and I ran and ran and ran. Good times
With High school sweetheart at this show. Just made up after huge fight before this concert. Memorable moment of my youth and love. Great show as well.
My first Pearl Jam concert. Yeah I remember the famous trailor packed full of couches.This was also my first trip to Molson park. Who would have ever suspected that this was the biggest grow-op in the history of the universe. A nice venue I will always remember.
