YEAAAAH!! Just got back from my very first Pearl Jam concert. It was over at the Forum in Inglewood. I grew up listening to these guys and singing their songs. When I saw my old band mates from high school last summer after ten years and we wanted to play around a bit, I just said play some Pearl Jam...then I said..okay, not that song..I don't have the tar build up in my lungs to go that low and raspy..but we played around with Red Mosquito and a few others which was a lot of fun. This is the one current band for whom I always get the new albums and have never been disappointed.
Anyway, I did some sketches of Sonic Youth, who opened for them and were also very good. I didn't do any of Pearl Jam at first because I was too excited jumping up and down and singing...but then during the last two songs I had to do some real quick. The last image with nine sketches are the ones of Pearl Jam. Oh what a treat! The first sketch gives an idea of how far I was from the stage...so the sketches were kinda tough..hence no face detail, but if it was this much fun that far back, I can only imagine how great it was from the sixth row (Sandeep, you are a lucky man!)!!!!!!
