While listening to Pearl Jam Montreal 2011 and laughing along with EV as he forgets the word to "Sleight Of Hand" I have to wonder is there a compilation of these "mess ups" out there?

True story.
My wife was dead center front row for the DC 98 VFC show and Ed forgot the opening lyrics for "Corduroy" and he then looks right down at her and ask "How does it go?" After the song he then leans over & gives her his guitar pick used during the song.
If anyone has one of the two source videos you can clearly see it!

Anyway, if you know of a show with a flub in lyrics or the band........tell me. Let's make a list.

One more EV story with the wife.
We met him the day before the Atlanta 98 show and she mentioned it was her birthday and during the song "Black" while in our beautiful 4th row seats
EV sees here and in the middle of the songs says "Happy Birthday" !! How friggin cool is that!

we had a thread about this a few months ago, i think buggy started it. check out the live forum

OK so here's what the other thread mentioned.

"Amongst the Waves" from the first night in LA '09
"Green Disease" Charlotte 2003....the whole band murdered it that night.

Why does is this message under my name???????

Banned from the Pit

There was a Do The Evolution from either the 2000 or 2003 tour (It might have been one of the Japan shows in '03) where they completely skip the Hallelujah part.

Lock 'er up.

there's a really cool 10 club mess-ups thread, but the last time i linked to a thread there, i got in trouble.

It's just a title. It doesn't mean anything.

does that mean i'm not really suspended?!?

<whew!>

You could make a 2-CD set just from the Philly '09 run.

If Buggy isn't going to finish this, maybe I should have a stab.

Funny thing is I have not been to the pit other then renew my fan club tickets. I can not stand that site.

That was Asheville 10/06/2004, but stone sings it after they finished the song

Somebody's gotta

Green Disease form Charlotte 2003 has to make the list. God damn the whole band murdered it that night.

I think if I tried to do this, my head would explode.

Given to Fly Glasgow 2000. Was dead centre and got the same 'whats the line?' look. got a pick for throwing him the next line too.

Indifference London 07. right after saying 'ive written some shit lyrics but i dont think this is one of them' the song starts and he fucks up the first line.

Trying to think of others.

These suggestions from 1998-2003 can't be right. Those were the glory years where they rehearsed and were tight and "cared about Pearl Jam".
