Their first tour on their own outside of Detroit. 150 people packed the place to the rafters and went apeshit. That shit was off the chain, over the fence and running wild on the interstate. Booked it.

PEARL JAM 1998

Again I can believe that. Like the White Stripes, Pearl Jam is a band that I've missed, up to this point. But I can believe that they are as good as you say they are. Just from watching this one video. I get that impression.

The Who, September 22, 1982. Capital Centre, Largo Maryland. First show of the tour, about two weeks into my freshman year at college. I had camped outside the arena for two days for the tickets before classes started.

Grateful Dead when they played Dark Star, RFK Stadium 7-12-90.

Ray Davies Storyteller tour November 1996.
