One of the best show I have ever seen is a then unknown Pearl Jam opening for a then just starting to get success Soundgarden at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle.

That was the first time I saw Pearl Jam but it was the Portland show and they did the same thing. He was pretty wasted by the end and fell off the stage a couple times but it was a great show none the less. They also went and played an invitation only show at a small club after for a little acoustic set and bullshit session. That was before all the mtv unplugged shit caught on so it was unique and great to watch.
They also played "Crazy Mary" for the first time live with Victoria Williams out there with them which was incredible to see the emotion of that performance.
On a side note opening for them was a unknown band "Blind Melon" and they put on a great show as well and was the only time I got to see them before Shannon Died.
