Does anyone have pictures from this night? Would be cool to see some. I talked about going to this show and the weekend that ensued in my book.

My first Pearl Jam show after 7 years of being a fan. The night belonged to McCready, if my memory is reliable. You could practically see the demons being exorcised out him with every solo. Oh, to have a bootleg...

Noteworthy: "Untitled" from Live with Two Legs is from this particular show. First time played. It was one of those moments you instantly know something special is going down. We all shut the fuck up and took it in.

I was in 7th grade, and Pearl Jam was my favorite band. I remember the opening one-two punch of "Hail, Hail" and "Animal," my favorite two songs at the time. The directness and efficiency with which the band tore into those two songs overcame me and had me begging for more - anything else Pearl Jam. I think that's when I learned that there's a huge difference between studio cuts and live performances. This concert awakened a part of me that I had never before tapped into. I've never been the same since.

Thanks, guys.
