a little under a year's worth of collecting.

Picked up these awesome patches recently and just wondering whether it be would be sacrilege to break the seal and sew them onto my jacket? Are they official or just licensed merchandise?

As Mike McCready celebrates his 60th birthday, here's a look back at Pearl Jam's legendary headlining set at Sea Hear Now. While initially slated for 2020, the band's set was pushed to 2021 due to the pandemic. As a result of that, this festival also marked the band's first show in 3 years... and the second they launched into the first song of the night ("Dance of the Clarvoyants" - also the first time they ever performed the song live), you could feel how grateful (and maybe even a little mix of nervous and surprise) Eddie Vedder felt being back on that stage - as if even he knew the chance he'd may never be back on stage were depressingly high given the state of the world at that moment. And by the time Pearl Jam got to "Even Flow," the evening felt like less of a concert and more of a celebration of life... yeah, I know that sounds cheesy, but given everything that happened over the past year and a half leading up to this show, you can understand the dramatics.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Mike McCready! Stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like this)!
