The band was Pearl Jam, it was a great show, he even gave us Mookie Blaylock T-shirts.
We hung out with him after the show & went to his house. I remember his girlfriend freaking out when she saw my buddy's pistol sticking out his pants when he sat down. She was Nazi storm trooper that I believe was largely responsible for Dave's departure from the band.
I've seen them a couple times since, but not since the 90s. They lost me after Vitalogy.
I saw a lot of bands in the 90s, I remember going to the OK Hotel to see this grunge wanna be band from Cali named STP, I was very skeptical, but it was only $2. Turned out they blew my socks off, great show.
I wish I could have seen Mother Love Bone, probably my favorite grunge music along with Gruntruck.

about where I'm at with Pearl Jam, and as far as I'm concerned Gruntruck, Mother Love Bone and Skin Yard owned that era- Gruntruck especially.
(Notice, no mention of Nirvana)
