1. I can't stop listening to the Detroit bootleg...I don't know if it's some deep-rooted issue of mine or that it's really that great a show!

    Probably a bit of both!
  2. They completely botched Wash at Memphis, hilarious to hear.

    I'm feeling the same way because I went so I thought I was being a bit biased but it truly is a standout show. Sometimes the boot doesn't hold up compared to when you're there, but the atmosphere and the energy really comes through on the boot. Great show.
  4. Yeah, spin that black circle
  5. might get my knob polished to it, cheers PJ
  6. You're a dirty boy, Dylan. Good for you.

    I'm not one to tell too many personal stories but I was 21 when Vitalogy came out and my girlfriend in university was quite a firecracker. In any event, I remember Aya Davanita came on and her dancing around, really diggin' the groove of the song, and then, shall we say, diggin' me.

    Sorry if that is TMI but I just had to tell the story. I've never told it before.
  7. Awesome Kieran. One small personal story.... I was 9 when it came out. I loved ten and vs.,borderline obsessed..... My parents are so cool for letting me indulge in their album collection lol. I resented Vitalogy for the first few months for one simple reason. Yellow Ledbetter wasn't on it! I know, I know. But , it was getting so much AirPlay , and I was 9 to my defense, I figured it was on the upcoming PJ album. After I got over that , I fell in love with everything from the music, to the odd package and artwork. Happy 20th! I truly love this band and even though I've never most most of you, I consider you all my PJ brothers. I've met so many great people , took my first road trip and had endless conversations all because of this band. And I'm sure there's plenty more to come. I dream of the day we're all under the same roof while this band blows our minds. One day....
  8. Keep the stories coming as I don't really have one to tell. I wasn't born when Pearl Jam were huge, I wasn't born when it was released. So it is great to hear personal anecdotes about your experiences when the album was released. I've only been a fan of Pearl Jam since 2006, only increased because of this forum in 2011 and has projected to constant higher heights since then.

    Matt, your story is brilliant! I wish I knew about this when I was writing about the album. I wish I was 9 or 10 when the album was released but there's nothing you can do about that.
