If he, in fact, got up off... If he got offstage, then it was over.

Like, game over.

They were going to stop the show.

And the bandmates themselves were pressuring Eddie to stop it because they were really concerned.

He was just so into it.

He was so into it.

But, you know, Stone Gossard said, he's going to die in front of us, and then it's going to be the most tragic thing that ever happened.

So I think he did that for the first two or three years.

Of course, the Even Flow video

is or alive are the two videos where you think of where Eddie's just acting like a maniac running around and you know that was his thing that was his thing yeah okay well good job here we go well I think we've talked about this before but okay go round six was Ticketmaster Wars oh yeah I mean that was a big deal it's a big deal yeah but go ahead we'll skip that one we'll skip that one I mean Pearl Jam knew Ticketmaster was nefarious they testified before Congress about high ticket fees yes

Which are still around.

And for two years, for two tours, they did it themselves.

They did their own ticketing.

And that turned into a major disaster for them.

That was a real problem.

They had a lot of issues because Ticketmaster just does what they do very well.

But they knew...

that the $3 fee that Ticketmaster was charging was highway robbery.

And they hated it.

And they felt that it was rigged and that ticket brokers were getting in the middle.
