Excellent read!
However, this part:
The story about “Leash†is of Northeast Pearl Jam legend which actually has roots to another tune from the same era, “Breathe,†off of the Singles soundtrack. In 2000, fans through message boards got together and during the first encore held up signs with “Breathe†on it. After several shows in the region featured this behavior, the band relented and played it, happily butchering it.

Other than a few facts that were off, and some mistakes that could have easily been fixed with a good copy-edit, that was an excellent story. A bit long, but it had to be. I forgot how hot it was that week.
