I am a big Pearl Jam fan have been from the first time I heard "Jeremy" back in 1992.  I'm a Ten Club member and have all of their studio albums.   There is just something special about this band when you see or hear them Live. I have only ever seen them live once that was in 2006 at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids.  That show is considered in the fan circles as one of their best.  I have the bootleg and listen to it on occasion.  Now that is one great thing about this band, since I believe the late 90's they have released virtually every show they have done in some form.  And unlike many artist, they change their set list's nightly.   Last night I had the chance to hear a show from last month that they performed in Lincoln Nebraska.  It's great to hear a crowd get totally into the show.  When the crowd responds in the way they did in that show (or like they did at the Grand Rapids Show I went to),  the band usually rewards them with rarities.  Which they happened to play plenty in this show they also paid tribute to John Lennon (who's birthday was the day of the show).  If you like great live rock I suggest you check out their shows.  You can either buy them over at their web site or if you want to stream some of their shows you can go to this great site.  Either way one of my all time favorite live bands, Pearl Jam!
