How many times have you seen Pearl Jam live? Which was the best/worst?  email this discussion to a friend?

I know we, the Pearl Jam traveling public, are a pretty fanatic bunch. I've seen Pearl Jam 22 times between 96-06.

My first show was 9/28/96 at Randall's Island. It rained, it poured, and we rocked. My only complaint was that I had to go to 21 more!

I'd say my favorite show is 10/3/05 in Philly at the Wachovia Center. Not only a fantastic show and setlist, but my wife caught a harmonica from Ed during the first song with opening band Sleater-Kinney. Just a total show kinda deal.

If I had to ever complain about a show, I guess it'd be 10/6/04 in Asheville, NC. Ed was sick at the show and it was cut short. We saw the intended setlist, after the fact, and damn did we miss out!

I've been lucky enough to see Pearl Jam 5 times live. I saw them back to back nights in 2003 in Irvine. Then I saw them three times in 2006. Actually I saw them three times in the span of one week! I saw them first in Vegas, then I saw them in Los Angeles, and a few days after that I saw them in Hollywood at a private show. That was amazing. It was in a tiny venue (The Music Box if anyone knows what that is you'd know how amazingly small a place that is to see Pearl Jam!) & it was for radio contest winners only. It was great.

But I think the best show I've seen with them was the one in Los Angeles at the Forum in 2006. Amazing show, amazing crowd, great setlist, & the perfect venue for Pearl Jam. The worst show I saw might've been Vegas. Ed was sick for that show as well (so I know the feeling colorblind!) & he kept apologizing for his voice but frankly I thought he sounded really good considering he was sick!
