| I've found many Pearl
Jam pages to be very repetitious: biographies, the same pictures
over and over again, the same audio files. Nothing personal, except
for the occasional interpretations of songs like 'Yellow

tell you who influenced Mike McCready or where the name Pearl Jam originated.
Rather, this is an attempt to share with those I know and don't know my
few experiences with the band and various band members. I am also
taking this opportunity to commend Canadian
Pearl Jammers, and will share my hours upon hours waiting in line for Barrie
tickets. Enjoy. I hope that in the future, especially after
this summer, I will have many, many more experiences to share.

was 19+, so this was my only way to see them...

| The adventure began at 4:30 in the morning,
as the sun was creeping up slowly in the east, I joined a group of fellow
Pearl Jammers anxiously awaiting Barrie, Ontario tickets to go on sale
at 10 a.m...
