Five Horizons: Tour: 1995 Photo: Milwaukee

Pearl Jam in Milwaukee
July 8 & 9, 1995

I had the good fortune to see Pearl Jam three times in four days in 1995—twice in Milwaukee and once in Chicago.

The Milwaukee shows were particularly outstanding. These were the first shows after Ed left the stage after a few songs at the Polo Fields show due to illness (and Neil Young and the rest of PJ saved the day by playing the Mirrorball show!). There was a feeling of nervous trepidation and uneasiness, as the Milwaukee and Chicago shows had also been cancelled previously.

However, the Milwaukee shows were very cool even though (or because there was) no MOSH PIT! We had amazing fan club shows and security told us cameras were "OK!" A very nice interplay between the band and the crowd led to a fantastic first night; the second night was the much discussed Maggot Brain/Little Wing performance ... enough said!

Anyway, here are a few of my photos. (click on any photo to view an enlargement)
