Review: Pearl Jam at Canadian Tire Centre

Memories of this show written in 2019:

I remember driving out to Kanata to get some merchandise before the show.  I waited two hours in line (maybe more?).  It was a little crazy.

Sierra was this show!  I remember us asking the doctor if it was fine bringing unborn Sierra to a rock concert.  She smiled and said we shouldn’t worry about it too much!
