not new york, philly, minneapolis, chicago etc...

Cities they play rather regularly.

Council bluffs, Fargo ND, Telluride CO - those are unique.

I think in this case it's used to mean "individual".

Lol.

Biff, your "meet the band" story puts mine to shame but I'll post it when I get time.

Strat, I don't think unique means what you think it means. In this context.

I like this RMers met category:

A handful of you, I think it was Vancouver 2005? I met Satan's Taco randomly in the parking lot beforehand, and then several on the floor in the venue. Green Habit? Serjical Strike, and I think a few others. There is a photo of us on the Old Board, which I believe Lenny dug up recently and photoshopped my face onto something else.

Also met Monkey_Driven at the Wishlist pre-party in St. Louis 2013. Unfortunately we didn't have time for a round of golf the next day.

Spoiler: show

I think you're thinking of the word "cute"

My interpretation is not wrong and its also far more interesting.

I bet Telluride was an awesome place to see a show! I love that bootleg. It has a really chill vibe to it.

A very incredible show mostly due to the setting. really fantastic.

How have you seen 4 drummers when your first show was in 1996?

At 19 years old I had a gap year (2003) in Australia. This was already planned when the band decided to tour there for Riot Act. I went to four shows (3x Sydney/ Adelaide) and had the time of my life. Johnny Marr was the support act. PJ played their first show on a Tuesday. Johnny Marr played a solo show at a local small club on Monday. I decided to go there because I knew Ed Ved might show up. And he did. He was standing in the crowd while the opening act was playing (Liam Finn), he tried to be in disguise but I recognized him and left him alone. The Johnny Marr show was great and he played 'Fortunate Son' with Ed. My hostel happened to be right around the corner. I went outside and to the back (on my way to my hostel). There were a couple, maybe four or five, PJ fans standing there. I decided to join and talk about what just happened on stage. Some minutes later Ed came outside and talk to all off us. Apparently I looked like his best friend and that was weird for both of us. He talked to us for about 5 minutes. We were all starstruck and he was drunk, that must have been some kind of conversation. The next morning it all felt like a dream, I just met my hero (I was 19 remember). Again I had not much planned for that day, I called my brother about what happened and had a coffee. Then in the afternoon I decided to start walking to the venue. I've met many fans there. I sure did not expect that. Again I saw the same 4 or 5 fans as the day before. Everyone else was jealous of what happened the night before. The band came in for soundcheck and after that they all came outside to say hi. That was my routine for three days. On the fourth day I had a flight to the Adelaide show. Slowly I realized that the band also had to take a flight... (I was soo naive back then..). Their flight was 2 gates next to mine. Once again I've met all the guys. Talked to Matt and Stone for a short while. Got autographs and said hello to Mike. Some people really went crazy on Eddie, he was the only one with a bodyguard. I talked to Stone in an airport-shop while he was having a soda. And finally I've met Jeff while he was walking to his gate. I'm a bass player myself and just wanted to say thanks since he was the main reason why I picked up the instrument two years earlier. He really took interest, signed my 'I am mine' copy with '4 strings forever!', we talked about my favorite basslines (hail hail, tremor christ). He agreed. Talked some about bass tones on Riot Act. And talked about my homecountry (netherlands) which he visited a couple of times to meet with his brother who used to live there. I was 19, and it was the best week of my life back then. All I had planned was to go to the shows. Everything else that happened was not planned at all, just me being young and naive.

Great stuff.

Man, I wish I'd gone to that Adelaide show.

Same. I was going through a jaded arena show fatigue at that time plus the shows were heavily advertised by Triple M. It didn't interest me even though I did like Riot Act. One or all of those 3 plus London 2007 were missed PJ moments for me.

Pearl Jam had fallen way off the radar for me by that time, I didn't even hear Binaural or Riot Act until a few years later.

I didn't even know PJ were playing in Perth in 2003, but I "discovered them" big time in 2004.

Would have loved to be at that show. Mark Seymour! Fortunate Son!

*sigh*
