Meeting Eddie Vedder (Albany, NY)

A few hours before his solo show on 6/9/09 at the Palace Theater in Albany, a group of crazy excited fans greeted a very gracious Eddie Vedder. Pearl Jam has been my favorite band since I was 16 back in 1992. It was great to be able to shake his hand and thank him for all the great music which has meant a great deal to me in my life!

"Thanks you for all you do"? Why don't you go tell our troops that!

[mightyolav]

@Rfprimm Why would you assume that we don't thank the troops as well? I don't understand where your question comes from. I certainly thank the troops for all they do. They already get a ton of props from everyone I know and I think they deserve even more. No reason I can't thank Eddie for his music as well.

@mightyolav I don't know... I just don't think I've ever heard someone be that greatful sounding to them. Anyways just ignore what I said I don't mean to start trouble I'm just thinking outloud.

[mightyolav]

@Rfprimm It's OK. I get in trouble for thinking out loud on the internet all the time. Besides, you're correct in saying that the troops don't get enough gratitude. Peace.

Wow, this is the coolest thing that can happen to a PJ fan. I'm so happy for you guys.

Love the screamings and hugs after Eddie leaves, it´s like you had to behave in front of him so that he wouldn't freak out and run away :P

When PJ came to Argentina I had the opportunity to meet Mike, Jeff and Matt, so I know the feeling and it's just something that can be described with words. Plus this guys are the kindest people that you'll find, no rockstar attitude at all.

Congratulations again!

Wow you're so lucky! I almost started crying watching this, Eddie is so good to his fans. I would have been the girl crying in the corner after he walked away hahah

I know the feeling... I watched this video and I started crying... cause shaking his hand was the coolest thing that could happen to a PJ´s fan. It was before their last show in Brazil in 2011. To me and my husband....totally surreal. We still look at each other and can´t believe it really happened. And after Eddie´s left people had the same reaction of screaming and jumping and feeling so happy. Eddie, thank you! I couldn´t say a word at the time, so I am saying it now. So glad I met you!

Oh My God I would have been in Heaven !! You guys were so fortunate to get to meet him, I don't think I would have been able to not flip my shit--you all were great!

Thanks for sharing, this is a great video!!!! Again - Eddie really seems like a nice dude with excellent manners. And... totally agree with KillYourTeeVee here (and I'm not even a PJ fan), LOL!!
