    Saw Pearl Jam in 90'/91'. Since then I've been to 70 or 80 concerts. I've seen dozens of bands from Rock,Punk even Blues. But, that PJ Show was the most electric and energized concert I ever saw. Eddie actually climbed the scaffolding, stood on the speakers about 30ft up and stage dived. He landed right on me and a friend. First thing he did was to ask us "You alright?". He then surfed back to the stage,grabbed the mic and continued singing. That was the best bruise/concert Injury I ever had. EPIC!

    The measure of the greatest music is its ability to MOVE you at the deepest spiritual place within your being. Pearl Jam is very rare in that there are many song in their catalog that can do that. But this one in particular can stop me in my tracks and bring chills and tears at the meer sound of the opening notes. I love this particular version for the audience singing the chorus. I have no words for how that verse makes me feel.

      Oh man, I understand that things change, circumstances and the context is not the same anymore, but I don't know why, I really liked the 2006 tour from what I could see on internet. It seemed to be so energetic! At the same time I know some fans who don't like Avocado or say that it is the beginning of the end. hehe I don't know, at the same time I really enjoy some tracks from Lightning Bolt too, but I prefer Avocado, Binaural, No Code, Riot Act, etc. At the end of last year 2016 and beginning of this year 2017 I was really enjoying Binaural and listening to it really often! Okay, between Avocado and Lightning Bolt there is Backspacer, an album that is not my favourite but can be fun sometimes. hehehe Let's see, something good may come soon! We have an interesting context nowadays too. The inspiration for Riot Act and Avocado were a context that was somehow similar to nowadays (difficult times, unfortunately).

    Are you gettin' something out of this all encompassing trip?
    You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets oh...
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah...
    Makes much more sense to live in the present tense...
    Have you ideas on how this life ends?
    Checked your hands and studied the lines?
    Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
    Seems that needlessly it's gettin' harder
    To find an approach and a way to live...
    Are we gettin' something out of this all-encompassing trip?
    You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh...
    Or you can come to terms and realize...

    One thing out of millions reasons I love Pearl Jam is this song and many others, it has layers, first just Mike guitar and Eddie's singing and then Matt drums and Jeff bass and then Stone guitar and Boom, sooo awesome!!! 😊💓🤘✌️

    It's Gossard's lick towards the end, so subtle but it gives so much emotional depth and class. It's HIS band.
