Red Mosquito

i am in it solely for the fan club tickets--the presale and reserved seating. My number is a bonus, but if it had lapsed I would still rejoin for that.


That's really it. I skim the magazine really quickly and then forget about it, and you can get the holiday tracks without being a member

Despite all of my issues with 10C, I remain in the fan club because it's inexpensive and there's always a chance that they'll change ticket practices again.

I can't even remember what year I joined - had to be right around when it was started, and the initial dues came from my allowance from cutting lawns and doing chores. Now the money comes from me working as a professional. Again, it's kinda of a cool streak that I've maintained.

Well, thats embarrassing.

Can I just point out we have none of this ticket stress and drama in Europe when Pj come.
Why even bother complaining, as long as you're in the room it should be cool, no?

I emailed 10c about the wings vs. floor for reserved below is their answer:


Sides would be filled before the floor.

-10c

Happy with the answer. Hope that helps some of you with your decisions.

Ten Club is def one of the longest constants in my life and for that I am very grateful. Because of the club, I once got to hold Ed up when he dove into a crowd...will never forget the excitement of that moment.

No shame here.

where did you grip?

His left hip. It was a freak thing as it happened during that San Bernadino, CA concert in 2000. It wasn't a real dive; he just sort of got help from the body guard and floated on top of us for a while.

From Five Horizons....

10/28/00 - Glen Helen Blockbuster Pavilion: Devore, CA
support act: Supergrass
set: Rearviewmirror, Go, Animal, State of Love and Trust, Given To Fly, Grievance, Corduroy, Wishlist, Nothing As It Seems, Evacuation, Even Flow, Light Years, Daughter/?, Jeremy, Leatherman, Better Man, Nothingman, Spin The Black Circle, Porch
enc 1: Breakerfall, Insignificance, Elderly Woman, Crazy Mary, U, Do The Evolution
enc 2: Yellow Ledbetter

notes: Ed greets the crowd after 'SOLAT' with "Hello San Pedro ... What? This isn't San Pedro, Jesus it's been a long tour." Ed then puts on a pair of giant (3 feet tall) artificial hands during 'GTF' and makes hand gestures with them throughout the song. The 'Daughter' tag is an improv about love: "Love is better than this song ... let's hear it for love." During 'Porch' Ed looks like he is trying to figure out how to get up to the lighting rig -- but instead, he CROWDSURFS. Jeff looks kind of irked at this behavior. Before the first encore Ed apologized for leaving the crowd out in the cold but there was a small fight backstage. "Don't worry, no one is quitting the band yet," he said sarcastically. Before the first encore there were a few lawn fires started (typical for this venue), so when the band came back for the first encore, Ed said, "I'm going to be a little serious here, no I'm going to be very serious." He mentions how a few people in the back are starting a fires and how Woodstock and was some of the most fucked-up shit he's ever seen. During 'Elderly Woman' a guy jumps onstage. Once Ed realizes that he is no threat he pushes security away and let him stay onstage throughout the song. The guy is a real ham, standing between Jeff and Ed and pantomiming the lyrics. After the song, as the the guy is led away by security, Ed says: "Have a nice evening in jail young man ... by the way, if you have the urge to do that, I highly recommend you don't ..." Then he comments, "Ya know ... when he was leaving, I gave him a guitar pick and he turned and said to me, 'Can I ask you a favor?'" (which gets tremendous applause because it was only due to Ed's intervention in the first place that he wasn't kicked off the stage immediately.) When the band came back for the second encore Ed thanked their crew for having to deal with an outdoor venue at this time of year. He then asks for a round of applause for Supergrass and mentioned how "When we first met Supergrass back in ... (looks back to Jeff and Matt) Montreal! ... Jesus Christ it really has been a long tour, when we first met them they said that they just couldn't wait to play San Bernadino." Before 'Leatherman,' Ed stops and addresses the crowd with one of his many long speeches of the night. He introduces each band member and mentions what they worked at before becoming famous: Mike worked in a coffee shop, Jeff worked in a pizza place, Matt worked at Kinkos (which gets a big laugh). "And then, Stone Gossard. Never worked a day in his life." More laughter. Stone says something to Eddie. "Oh, he says he worked at a lumberyard. I've never heard this. (stone says something else to ed)...Ohhh!! His uncle owned the lumberyard...Can I get you some coffee, Uncle Steve?" Now it's Ed's turn: "And myself ... well, how about this: I waited tables. My first job was construction, but I had to save my hands. The restaurant I waited for had this thing called the holy trinity. It was a meal for the cheapskates that couldn't afford a real meal. At this particular restaurant there happened to be a LOT of cheapskates and people that didn't tip. I'm kidding if you're out there listening. Anyways, the holy trinity was soup, salad and bread. Here's Pearl Jam's holy trinity. See if you can put it together as we go." 'Wash' is on the setlist but not played.

Me and my bro were there right behind you. Awesome show!

Wow, that's cool. I happened to be living in LA for just a year and managed to catch them out there. A low number nets you a good seat in the "Inland Empire" of CA.

Remember that really tall guy who kept yelling that McCready was "the shit! all there is to it. Mike you're the shit!"

Maybe he just had better eyesight than you.

I recently listened to the boot and that guy is very audible.

Yup, I own the boot and you can see me on the Touring Fans DVD during two of those songs...I think it's Animal and DTE.

He did, but it wasn't about poop. He was complimenting Mike.

That's awesome. It's funny because that night it was pretty cold but I am from WI and I had done the Alpine show 3 weeks earlier so it didn't seem as bad. Wierd night, fires on the grass, the dude who got on stage. Still top notch show, one of the best I've seen.
