“Father of mine”
“tell me where have you been”
“You know I just closed my eyes”
“And see the tickets I’ll win”
Stoked for Everclear. I know he’s from the PNW and people have seen him a bunch but I grew up in PA so this would be my first time 😉
The original pdx gangsters.. love these guys!
I luv Everclear forever !
And its our 30th anniversary ,and ever clear is our first and only band and were still in luv with each other and everclear.
Me and my sister grew up in the 90s listening to these guys and she’s visiting me from Texas for the first time since pre-pandemic! I’d love for her to experience the Crystal Ballroom bouncy floor and get the full Portland experience of one of the best venues I’ve ever seen a show in! Thank you!
SpaRKLE ✨ BABY
I’d love to win tix to the show! The last time I saw Everclear live was on the original Sparkle and Fade tour. This would be fantastic to see them again on their anniversary tour!
90s Alternative is my favorite genre, I would love to win tickets to see Everclear
Haven’t seen them live since the 90s! Pick me!
I didn’t realize they were still playing,one of the best bands to come out of Portland, Portland has been a hot bed for musical talent and continues to this day,thanks for giving people the chance to see this band
Music from the high school days?! Yes please!
I grew up listening to everclear. Would love to see them live!
You had me at Everclear would be a fun concert!
Lordy lordy they are great
30th Anniversary 🤯 How time flies ❣️
Art Alexakis and the boys keep on rockin’! Remember seeing him in the mall school shopping with his daughter many years back, such geniune guys, all of them. I was picked for WIAGWA but missed out due to the snow and cold.. still a good memory anyway. would love to see these guys again!
Let’s get weird in Portland w
ith Everclear.
Santa Monica is an ANTHEM. I can hear that opening guitar riff in my head clear as day. Would love to see them!
I’ve been on stage with them twice- once at woodstock 99, no band gets me like everclear
Would love to see this show.
Oh yes that is Portland rock and roll
I’d love to See Everclear live because it is nostalgic for me and reminds me of my teen years. It will be extra special to see them in Portland since the lead singer is from Portland. Plus, the Crystal Ballroom is historic and I want to experience dancing on the bouncy floor.
Lets go back to the 1990s please
Love our hometown heroes!! I listened to them when I was younger , raised my kids on their music! 🙂
Thanks for the consideration!
This would be one to remember!
Would love to see Everclear at the Crystal!!!!
Everclear..@ the Crystal.. huh? Sounds like an all night errands and a horrible hangover! What time & where? I’m down..
Lol Errands (*autocorrect)..
All Nighter & horrible hangover
Everclear was my favorite in high school! I would love to go?
Saw them in NYC w/Gus Gus in 95 and chatted w/Art. Like to continue the conversation.
Classic! Gonna be so fun
This would be a fun show!
This album is my childhood!!
Listening to Everclear’s 2nd album in the car as we speak.
90’s in a nutshell
Heart Spark $ – aving me Money!
Help me get my very overplayed CD signed and send me!!
This is going to be an epic event with Local H and Sponge opening up for Everclear. I’ve seen each band on their own at least once in the past 25 years but never together on one ticket.
Wow! Really sounds like a good time! Fingers crossed!
Always a good show!
Manifesting this
Would love to see this show!
This would be such a blast, and at such a fun venue! What a dream!
Local H is one of my favorite bands ever. To catch them on this bill with Everclear and Sponge (who I saw for $5 in 1997 heh) would be amazing. I’d also love to take my Son. Thanks!
Santa
All the memories!! 😎
I’ve had “Everything to Everyone” on my Spotify On Repeat playlist for nearly a decade and have zero shame in admitting it’s been a musical sanctuary for me more times than I care to admit. It remains one of the top five tracks on the soundtrack of my life and I’d be forever grateful to finally hear it and the rest of my favorites from them live.
Well, of course to Everclear!
Would be AMAZING!!!
Portland music legends. I would love to take my friend and relive the 90s again.
Oh Yes to this!!! Portland Favorite 🙂
Would be amazing to get to see them perform, still listening to them on the regular
Blast from the past! I’d be down to check it out!
I would love to go!
I grew up listening to this band! Reminds me of when my parents were still married and we were all together.. I’d definitely fly my mom out to see this with me!
I would love to go! I am currently in the hospital, being treated for cancer, and this would give my partner and I something to look forward to 🙂
This band is not old. And neither am I.
My teenage self would be so stoked to go to this … I mean, my current self too 😀
Blast from the last! Thx for considering me.
Would love to see these guys again… it’s been like 25 years. 🤙🏽
The last time Everclear came to town my cousin saw them. I was almost too young to go and couldn’t get tickets. Grew up on this kind of music and it’s always been a bucket list item of mine. Just sucks that all of these bands are getting old. Or not touring anymore. If I do happen to win it would be the experience of a lifetime, and also bring back the good times/memories before the 90’s/2000’s finally became over with.
This was my favorite band as a teen and my first big concert. I’d love to see them again!
Santa Monica is a banger! Would love to get out of the house for this show.
Would absolutely love to go see them!
A rockin band for sure. Would love the opportunity to see them!
I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect, shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the West Hills
I will buy you a new life
And I will buy you a new life
I have sparkled and as I fade into my mid 60s i could use some help getting affordable concert tickets. Free is a very good price
I love Everclear
Santa Monica is my jam! Would love to go!
I would love to hear “Sparkle and Fade” in it’s entirety live. Such a classic 90’s album. Hope I win.
This would be a nostalgic blast!
Viva la 90s! 🎸
19 years ago I was at your free concert downtown, would love to see you again.- M
I’d be so grateful to win tickets because I’d love to take my bf to this classic show!
This would be such an amazing and nostalgic show! I love Everclear and it was an amazing album!
Heroin Girl still slaps after all these years. I would have loved to be in the music video.
Would love to win these!
I am still drueeming of your…FACE!!! XD
One of my favorite bands! I always love the Portland shows. My partner would love to see Everclear live.
I still have my signed copy of this CD when I met them at a record store while they were promoting the follow up album!
Everclear and Pdx pipeline rules
Would love to fall, glimmer, sparkle, and fade
Because I still yell-sing ‘Father of Mine’ like I’m grounded in a flannel shirt. Let me relive my angst, but louder!
For real though, they were my jam during my high school and colleges years. Remember seeing them in Corvallis at OSU.
Lived in Portland many years but never saw the band. Would love to go!!
Would love to go
I sparkled back in the day… now I relate to the Fade (NOT the hair buzzcut)
I would love to see them!!! It would be my first time.
I’ve never seen them live. Would love to
This could be so fun!
Would love to experience hearing Everclear In person. Have always Loved them! 💜 Really need to get out and have a good time it’s been to long. This past year was hard on me. I almost became homeless after losing my job due to my Depression over the loss of my boyfriend to cancer.
My first concert come full circle!!
Yes
I would love to see Everclear again!
Count me in if there’s tickets for the takin’!
I would like to attend because its nostalgic.
My husband loves this band!
My teenage anthem!
I’m not anymore deserving than anyone else here. Thought it would be cool to see them live at least once with my kid. Goodluck to all who enter!
WOW – would love to see them in person!
my high school self is begging you for these tickets the same way i begged my mom. hopefully this time i get a “yes”!
This would be a fantastic time!!! 😁 ❤️
Everclear will sound as good as usual and as they did 20+ years ago.
This would be rad! Especially with Spong on the bill!
Everclear will always take me back to my first years in Portland. I’m still here 30 years later, my kids (now adults) are still here and there is no place we’d rather live. 90’s music is my comfort music. Everclear was my introduction to the awesome Portland music scene, so of course I would really love to see them!
Would love to win tickets!
I wanna take my wife and kid to the show!
I am still living with your ghost
So much for my afterglow!
I’m just a girl with 2 pierced nipples and a black tattoo. Drinking Mexican beer and trying to win some Everclear tickets.
This album takes me back! A 90s masterpiece.
One of my first concerts EVER, back as a kid growing up in SLC. Now, my old childhood best friend lives here too and this would be an awesome throwback for when we saw them on the first Sparkle & Fade tour!
It’s my 75th birthday.
I would love the opportunity to see this band live. They are awesome 🤙
High school nostalgia!!
Haven’t been to a concert in a long time!
I would love to go.
First Portland band I ever heard
Two of the best things in PDX…Everclear AND the Crystal! Pick me!!!!
What a blast from the past. I would love to attend this.
Absolutely my favorite band growing up. I grew up in the south so I didn’t get to see them at all. Ugh I hate country music! 😭
This would make my elder millennial heart so happy!
Because it’s Everclear.
My brother is visiting this weekend and this would be an awesome show to take him to! Please and thank you @PDXPIPELINE!
Last saw them when Al Gore was running for president, would be great to see them again.
I saw Everclear play in a record store in Portland in maybe 2002 and even got to meet them at the end of the show. It was dreamy. I’d love to see them again!
Take me back to the 90’s! My best friend and I have so many memories seeing Everclear since World of Noise tour. I’d love to go back but next best thing is to revisit them in the future with my bestie.
Their song “Father Of Mine” meant so much to me growing up on such a personal level. Dealing with similarities with my own upbringing. I would love the chance to see them live and belt this song along with them at the show! That would be amazing!
90s gold! Always loved Everclear! This would be a blast!
Been a fan since ‘92 ! Father of mine, Santa Monica, Sunflowers…my goodness what great songs. Would love to see them after all these years.
Been to 3 Everclear shows and all were awesome!
Love them and have never been able to see them! Bringing back memories!
Always up for an adventure!
Always wanted to see Everclear!
Don’t pick me
I have a signed poster on my wall. 😎
Bought already, but would like to bring others too
Too busy doing for others…but would like to spoil myself for a change!
Everclear is so nostalgic for me! I would love to see them live!
I’m still waiting for my mansion way up in the West Hills.
That’s ok- I’m enjoying my Eastside life but I’d still love to bounce around at the Crystal Ballroom listening to this awesome band. 😎
This would be epic!!!
Everclear was our vert first concert in the late 90’s and would love to see them again! PS, the show would be a fantastic late birthday gift…
Had tickets to go five ish years ago and couldn’t make it last minute due to some health stuff, so I’ve still never gotten to see them live and they are definitely the soundtrack of my high-school years. Would mean so much to get to go finally
I’ve always been such a huge fan of everclear and would love to see this show! I swear everytime they come to town I miss seeing them for whatever reason (Family in town, no money, working, etc.) Please give me a chance to finally see them! 😀
Local as it gets. Would love to see Art and crew.
Live a great local band, plus it’s 90’s music ❤️
Would love to see Everclear at Crystal! They are awesome!
I haven’t seen them since the 90s, would love to see them again!
I drove into Portland 30 years ago in April. I had just finished high school in Seattle the previous year, exposed to the music scene there. I had come down to go skateboarding at the Burnside skate park for the day (and yes, I’m still here 30 years later).
This was before Google maps and so all we knew to do was find Burnside Street. We had no idea where we’re going. We turned on Northwest 23rd and stopped at the plaid pantry to ask directions. We went heading back to east side.
I’ll always recall as we drove past Powells, hearing everclear come on the radio and being super excited about the the future of the Portland music scene. I was an instant fan.
I’ve seen the band a few times of the years. I would love to see them again. Heck, I even hosted them on the campus for a political rally at Portland State University and was a delegate with Art to the 2004 Democratic convention in Boston. This show will bring back great memories!
This would be a BLAST! I have so many great memories from Everclear days!!! I would LOVE to go!
