Eddie Vedder versuchte als 14-jähriger Pink Floyd’s The Wall zu sehen

Pearl Jam touren gerade durch die Staaten. Am 6.5. traten die Bannd im Forum in Los Angeles auf, als Sänger Eddie Vedder eine Geschichte aus seiner Jugendzeit erzählte. Er war als 14-Jähriger mit einem Freund von San Diego nach L.A. gefahren, um ein Pink Floyd The Wall Konzert zu sehen.

EDDIE VEDDER: I drove up from San Diego. It was me and my friend, who was a drummer. We had tickets. I gave him the money, he bought the tickets. We were out there in the parking lot.

When I pull up today, I still get nervous in the parking lot. Because it was sitting in the parking lot, rolling… something (joints), illegally back then. Dangerous for a 14-year-old… But we were just perfecting the craft. Which, in later age, serves us well.

But we were a little nervous about going in, I just wanted to go in. I want to get to my f*cking seat because Pink Floyd is about to play the f*cking wall. He goes into his ashtray to pull out the envelope of tickets, but… he didn’t bring the tickets.

The show starts in 15 minutes and he didn’t bring the tickets. He’s got money enough to buy one to get in.

And I sat in the parking lot the entire Pink Floyd show.

Was für ein Freund, der Vedder im Auto vor der Sports-Arena warten lässt, während er für sich selbst ein Ticket kaufte. Pink Floyd spielten The Wall damals allerdings nicht im Forum, sondern in der Sports-Arena, die 2006 abgerissen wurde.
