    There are just some setting in life that I want to be part of..Pearl Jam in Seattle I would love to see, especially at the Gorge..as I would love to see U2 play Slane Castle in Dublin, Ireland.... I have just been obsessed though with a show at the Gorge form the pics I have seen...what a place to have a grteat trip and enjoy great music...the Yankees are playing in Seattle the 1st week of Sept..I would love a PJ/Yanks weekend out in Seattle..I have never been...Someone said PJ may play NYC this summer, could that be true? Maybe Yankee stadium will house a few shows since it s the last year...the last show there I think was Floyd in 94

    I was there for Floyd up at BC Place in Vancouver. Great fucking show!!

    You should come see a game at The Safe and a Pearl Jam show for sure!!!

    Seeing shows at the Gorge is even better than the pictures make it seem. I have been there over a dozen times - The Gorge is just one of the most beautiful concert settings anywhere!!!

    Welcome to the board, by the way. :)

    i am right there with you...when they do tour again and play shows in Washington they seem to almost have to play the Gorge...how can they skip that venue? The band seems to love playing there anyway...

    How hard are tix to the Gorge? I was really psyched for Bonnaroo but than when I thought about it, its 4 long, hot, dirty, expensive days of not alot of really good music...you have to wait 4 days to see PJ play for a couple of hours and than oyu have to fight the madness getting out of there for hours..hungover,stinky and miserable..I think Im going to pass and roll the dice on them playing some shows other than the Roo...I have the goirger box set..is there a DVD circulating by any chance?

    i purposly am not going to the roo because of the possiblity of going back to the gorge. you have not seen a pj show until you get there. i only spent about $600 to fly from philly to seattle and everything else that goes with it (car, camping, ticket, etc) and the trip is worth every penny. im just hoping for a little bit cooler temps than 116 degrees, my pale irish ass was FRIED!
    Small my table, seats just 3, its not crowded, its just lucky me

    Hi ya'll - I am sure this is a repeat, but an honest question about PJ and the Gorge.  It will be 17 years this summer since what I consider top concerts of my life.  I just listened to night 1 and the crowd was super and engaging!!  I know Seattle crowds can be tough for some strange reason.  

    Is there a reason they haven't played more frequently?  

    I am and I know a ton others are really jonesing a PJ gorge show!!

    Cheers ya'll and much love!

    It is a mystery. We can all guess at reasons, but none of us here know.

    DMB plays 3 nights every Labor Day weekend for the past 20 years or so.  I think a lot of it is, they realize this isn't a typical corporate venue, and that the local community really depends on shows there, particularly since there's only 10-15 shows a year due to the remote location.  The camping area is owned by a family but camping tickets are sold thru TM/LN like any concert.  Lots of recent changes to the various camping options.  Terrace has been our favorite, have done it 5 times for DMB since 2006, but the price nearly doubled this year.  Start getting yourself familiar with the camping options in the event shows are announced:
