"The new band, temporarily dubbed Mookie Blaylock after one of the New Jersey Nets player's trading cards made it into the tape case of the instrumental demos, plays its first concert in front of approximately two hundred people. The set list consists of Release, Alone, Alive, Once, Even Flow, Black, Breath, and, as an encore, Just a Girl which would appear only once more on a Mookie Blaylock or Pearl Jam set list."
- Jonathan Cohen, Pearl Jam Twenty
