Vault #3 - Constitution Hall, 9-19-1998 (vinyl, cd, digital)

[Lament]

To be fair, we did get two new users around relatively the same time whose names both begin with a capital "L." That's pretty jarring stuff, especially since both of you seemed to be fairly regular dudes, and both genuine and thoughtful contributors. Surely you will understand that, without some dumb-assed internet shtick to make you stand out as particularly obnoxious, it could be easy for your contributions to get lost in the shuffle, especially with that confusing "L" thing.

I know right? Two normal folks? On the INTERNET?! What are the odds they'd both pick names that start with L.

LetMeSleep and I are going to start a brotherhood now.

That's for when I stand on his shoulders and we put on a big trenchcoat and post as one person.

[Jorge]

or when you do the fusion dance

[Lament]

Or the Neutron Dance, for that matter.

[Kevin Davis]

So much for not having a shtick.

[LamentMeSleep]

Did somebody call?

[Lament]

Wow.

(For what it's worth, that's definitely not me behind that second account)

[super nintendo chalmers]

Imagine having enough time to maintain a second account on a pearl jam message board? I dont' know wether to admire that man's gumption or envy his freedom.

[Lament]

In a world with as many Aubrey Plaza gifs waiting to be watched as this one has, I sometimes marvel that I have enough freedom for one account on a Pearl Jam message board.

[LetMeSleep]

Jesus I'm confused now.

And I have to check out these gifs you mention.

Let Mel Ament. Mel Ament is Jeff's skeezy brother who sells fake Ten Club tickets outside of every show. Or trades them for handskies.

"Let Mel Ament get you close to Eddie & the Pearl Jams, baby." That's his catch phrase. And he dresses like Jeff circa-1991.

He sold me what he said was a soundboard copy of the 6-29-98 Chicago show, but when I got home and put it on it was just a tape recording of Yield with him cheering towards the end of each track.

[Kevin Davis]

I have that tape too, I just thought the audience was really sedate that night.

Even the end of Wishlist? Fake.

The Doug RR secret show?
