    that doesn't mean they are playing for 4 hours... at 15,000 feet above sea level
    I would expect a 3 hour set, 8-11, which is amazing enough

    elevation of telluride is 8750 ft
    the highest i've been is pike's peak 14,000 ft.
    Ya I think people are over exaggerating the elevation issue. Keep in mind athletes fly into denver every single day and play a game for 3 hours mostly without issue. I realize telluride is a little higher but to say pj can't play a 3 hour show is a little over the top.

    Depends if Eddie is smoking or not. :)

    I live at 5,000 ft elevation and can tell you I've been to many concerts where something along the lines of "Wow, it's high here/let me catch my breath" is said from the stage. Brian Setzer actually passed out on stage at a show a few years ago.

    I think they will play a 3 hour show. To say they are playing from 7-11 is a bit of an exaggeration I think. They did 3:20 in Denver last time, which was one of the longest shows of the LB long-show era (San Diego 13 might have beat it).

    i have never seen a band come on stage an hour after their allotted time starts at a festival. that would be poor planning on rides part...

    This is my #1 bucket list place to ever see them play.

    I think it's totally ridiculous that a band of this stature and longevity has only played here once before, 20+ years ago

    are pearl jam the hipsters of rock & roll, too cool for everything?

    like i mentioned a few posts above, telluride is now red rocks for me
    the fact that they are going back to colorado after just doing denver not long ago is a surprise dream come true. denver is one hellofa great state to visit. garden of the gods...hello!
    i've been to both places to see shows. telluride isn't all that bad ;)

    Have to agree with you too... Once I saw photos/video of past Ride Fests, it was "WOW I have to go." Then the 3 hour show info hit... signed up to volunteer and get a ticket! :)
    I was told they have a 4 hour slot... 7-11 :rock_on:
    that doesn't mean they are playing for 4 hours... at 15,000 feet above sea level

    I would expect a 3 hour set, 8-11, which is amazing enough
    Elevation is just under 9000 feet. They seemed to have no problem playing 4 hours at 5280 so I'm hoping for over 3 hrs :smiley:
    When the stars exploded billions of years ago, they formed everything that is this world. Everything we know is stardust...

    I'm not placing a lot of stock in it one way or another, but Bogota would be a more comparable elevation. From on stage to offstage was 2 hrs and 40 minutes or so. Ed did sound a little gassed. How ridiculous are we? Hahaha
