A few months ago, when I heard Pearl Jam had added several shows to their tour I got excited, but when I heard they'd be coming to Salt Lake I was jumping for joy. I've been a huge fan since the early 90's when they first made it big, and I've been a member of their fan club almost as long. Now some of you may be laughing, but when they go on tour the fan club definitely hooks its members up with good tickets. Brooke and I had seats in the fourth row, and since this was Brooke’s first time seeing them I was pretty excited about that.
Ben Harper opened the show, and did a great job. Pearl Jam ended up playing some stuff with him once they took the stage.
One of the coolest parts of the show was when Eddie Vedder called a couple up on stage. He explained that the guy had written a very special letter to the band, which was why Eddie called them up. Eddie ended up giving the guy the microphone, and he proposed to his fiancé. After that, Eddie gave them a couple of chairs on stage and played the song “Just Breathe” for them.
I knew I should have gone to this concert. I love Pearl Jam and I love Ben Harper. Looks like you had a lot of fun.
