Best Concert of 2013-14
PEARL JAM
Those lucky enough to make it to this highly anticipated, sold-out show last November still can't stop gushing about it. "It. Was. Awesome." summed up Quincey Faloon of Spokane, who was converted into a lifelong fan after the show. "From the time the first note was sung, I was completely sucked in. The energy of the band, of Eddie, of the crowd was completely invigorating. ... Then to find that Steve Gleason was in the audience? My head exploded." Faloon's not alone. Longtime fan Amanda Mead says it was the best PJ show she's ever been to out of the four times she's seen the band live. "I mean, Eddie shaved a guy's head on stage. Come on. How can anyone else top that in Spokane this year?" (CS)
