PJ Regrets

I was at St. Louis 2010 too--great show.

My biggest Pearl Jam regret was not being home the day tickets to the Chicago 98 show went on sale. My friend got tickets, called me to offer me one, but I wasn't home, so he gave it to someone else.

Pretty sure those were a grand/pop.

Missing night 1 of PJ20
Missing the 2000 St Louis show. Just really getting into them and decided 1 show was enough.
Missing Champaign 03
Missing out on the shows from 05-07....the last time they were close to the 98-04 live peak.

I regret not going to alpine 98. Especially since I had already done the Rapid City/Minneapolis tour. I was young and didnt know any better.

I suppose the same can be said for the Milwaukee/Soldier Field shows.

I went to night 2 of Milwaukee 95. Why didnt i go to the first? why didnt I make it Soldier field?

Sure, I was only 14 but...c'mon Strat.

Paying for... and travelling to see them at Voodoo '13... That performance was just terrible! I DID get Halloween on Bourbon Street out of it, though

The Ten Club put a few tickets on sale for like $50 or so.

I thought the tickets were $500 each. $1000 pair.

This was a great post.

Mine is easy. I was living in SC when No Code came out, and I didn't go see them in Charleston, or Charlotte. Big mistakes, and as such, never got to see 'em with Jack.

If members of Pearl Jam were ever to post on this board....this would be the thread I'd like them to do it in.

i have made it a point to not miss shows i can get to for fear of regret. as a consequence, my regrets are the shows i went to that didn't do it for me. they are as follows:
seattle 2002 (tremendous nais, but otherwise boring as shit)
mt. view 2003 (can't remember which night. my only good memory is ed playing throw your arms around me pre-set one night.)
toledo 2004 (i don't fucking want to hear about it. i didn't pay to see him.)
kansas city and st. louis 2010 (i wish i had gone to cleveland instead.)

I was at Mountain View and it was incredible. You're either on crack, or perhaps I went to the good night and the other night was ass. Also, I would do horrible things to be able to see a show like Toledo.

I regret throwing away some really old fan club stuff (I'm not much of a collector and I live a clutter free life). Still, I think I had some cool shit.

Were you the guy with the Breath campaign sign?

Most of them were. But the Ten Club had a special sale and sold like twenty or so pairs to members for something like $50.

I never knew that. Cool, yet somewhat inappropriate since it was a benefit.

Yes, but I kept that. All nasty and stained with footprints from the floor of MSG. That'll be with me for awhile. Might even frame it, but I'd have to get around to framing my Ed signed No Code record first.

I also still have the '96 ticket from Randall's Island where Jack did the scribbling/design and your name actually appeared on the ticket, which was cool.

I still have random bootlegs (tapes) from early trading days, too. But, still, I def tossed some of the fan club records.

Only PJ regret I have is not joining the 10c sooner. Was a big fan not long after Ten was released, but didn't join until 2000.

I wonder if I'll ever regret not buying a Pearl Jam dog collar?

Lament · Post by **Lament** » Mon April 14, 2014 8:53 pm

I have it on good authority that there will be a special run of dog collars made from dead skin cells scraped off of the bottom of Boom's feet. Purchase one of those and you'll never regret missing the first run.

biggest PJ regret was how many fucking shirts I bought at my first show. what a waste of cash. stupid kid.

BurtReynolds · Post by **BurtReynolds** » Mon April 14, 2014 9:11 pm

I can't really think of anything. I got to see some great shows.

I guess the twenty bucks I threw away one year on a tenclub membership was one, but at least I got Turning Mist out of it
