9/26/2009 Ridgefield, WA (Clark County Amphitheater … this show was NOT in Portland!)
- Experience highlight: Decided to try and make up for the debacle from the week before so I snuck Mrs. (girlfriend) Bam down into our seats in like the 6th row. She had a MUCH better time in good seats, but on the way in she had … tailgated … a bit much and was pretty wasted. She got lost, took forever to find her. We missed Ben Harper’s set. Anyway my buddy was in the seats, ready to help sneak her in and had to wait like an hour for us, and he had to pee the whole time. Man I still feel so bad for him. You had to show your ticket coming back from the bathroom so he couldn’t leave the seats.
- Setlist highlight: Go

9/21/2009 Seattle, WA (Key Arena)
- Experience highlight: Terrible nosebleed seats … took our ladies … rocked out obnoxiously (only people doing so in our section) … Mrs. Bam (girlfriend at the time) got pissed that I was being obnoxious, we had a little fight there in the seats, she left halfway through and walked home. I stayed for the whole show. Don’t fuck with my Pearl Jam concerts (we got engaged a couple months later).
- Setlist highlight: Nothing in particular stands out.
9/22/2009 Seattle, WA (Key Arena)
- Experience highlight: No ladies with us on night 2 and we had good 10C seats. Drank “Reign Man” shots at Oskar’s beforehand (Shawn Kemp’s bar) and raced to the arena from there, my buddy tried to jump over a big concrete flower pot and caught a shin on it, totally ate shit. Lucky not to break a bone.
- Setlist highlight: Nothing in particular stands out.
No Way was played for the first time in like 13 years at one of these. How does that not stand out?!

The No Way bustout was a favorite moment for me. 09 was the last time I did multiple shows on west coast tour. Going full nostalgia mode & doing 3 this time around.

11/15/2013 Dallas, TX (American Airlines Arena)
- Experience highlight: Stayed with buddy in Austin a couple days before, I was too hung over to go to Franklin’s BBQ. Classic Bammer. We flipped our pair of 10C floor tickets for three others in first row of upper bowl so all of us could attend together. I was asked to by ushers to get my foot off the railing because they didn’t want me falling off.
- Setlist highlight: The PJ stat tracker app shows Chloe Dancer and Crown Of Thorns as separate songs bringing the total to 33 for this show.

4/21/2003 - first show, Lexington, KY. I think we got one of the best shows on that tour. Excellent Black, Fuckin' Up, Even Flow, Immortality. I liked Pearl Jam walking down to Rupp Arena, I walked back to my dorm transformed. Downloaded the unmastered bootleg immediately while waiting for my CD set in the mail.
9/4/2011 - Well...
