I drove down from Boston for that show (the first show, Saturday night). Being from Mass, I had no idea what kind of venue Downing Stadium was. Boy they had to dig deep to find a non-Ticketmaster venue...that place should be condemned, and traffic getting off the island was brutal. But a great show.Originally posted by MrPryck2U:
The first time I saw Pearl Jam was in 1996 at Randall's Island in NY. That was amazing.
