Corduroy was my favourite song of theirs going into the fest. I was the only one from my group wanting to see them, so I went on my own. I went completely mad when they opened with it! That Reading set was a lot of fun. Was supposed to be my first Pearl Jam show... bought a ticket for Dublin as well in advance of the Reading ticket sale. For some reason we thought they'd sell out mega-quick. Since then they have given me reason to go to many places I never otherwise would have.

mungo57 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I still watch that vid from time to time. I'd love to have gone to the O2 but I didn't have £100 to spare at the time. If they end up doing Glasto I'll be well happy. Personally can't see it but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what Ed said before this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aDkCPg6ab8 A 19-year-old me saw them the day before in Leeds. Their first festival show since Roskilde. I was expecting a slow start because of that... "You ready? If you're ready, we're ready. We're in it together, I don't think I need to say, but just take care of one another, please. Like I say, we're in it together... Lets do it" Then slammed into Go! What a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that was how they started at Leeds - I had never really heard any of their songs before, but went down the front with my mate who was a fan and loved it. It was the first year that they had the barrier wasn't it, which i had heard was at Pearl Jams request, but don't know if that is true or just a coincidence.

tjamest Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Yes, i'm pretty sure that as Simpo says it was their first festival since Roskilde. It was the first time we had seen it at a festival and initially thought it was some kind of golden circle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 PJ would really impress at the G. Only my first time seeing them last month but loved it. One of the standout shows in recent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndenis Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello, it's my friend's 40th birthday next month and he is a really big Pearl Jam fan (has seen them 3 times this summer). Is there a particular present or rarity I could spend a few quid to get him? It would be great to get something signed but I don't know how possible that is. Do they tend to respond to fan mail and SAEs :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some..... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1515322652015236/?ref=bookmarks You can ask on there.. Signed stuff is flipping hard to get and tbh you can never REALLY know if it's real. Hey send me his or your address and name of your brother and I'll make something and send it to him as a surprise if you like... No worries if not. Peace and tea.

Heard a lot of good and bad about it, the lineup was ridiculous but apparently they weren't too organised at getting people in... or was that just the Pearl Jam fans bitching and it was fine for everyone else?
