Why has it been said that Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary is in 2011?

1. The band formed in 1990.
2. They celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2000. (Las Vegas show)
3. Therefore their 20th anniversary would be 2010.

No?

    okay but they formed in 1990.

    the 10th anniversary show was 10-22-2000 in Vegas.

    the 20th anniversary therefore is/will be 10-22-2010...not 2011.

    The only real reference to 20th anniversary being in 2011 is from the rerelease press release, isn't it? Obviously, they're referencing 20 years since the first released album. It's the same as HOF eligibility, 25 years after release of first album.

    I'm sure they'll celebrate their first concert too, but then they were Mookie Blaylock then, weren't they? So maybe their first show as PJ, 17/05/1991?

    That being said, I've always felt 22/10/1990 is the date, but shouldn't it really be the first day Ed came up to meet the guys and jam?

    You make some excellent points. However, it can't be ignored that the band played a 10th Anniversary show on 10/22/2000 in Las Vegas.

    Clearly and logically, their 20th anniversary would therefore be 10/22/2010.

    10th



    anniversary





    SHOW




    get it? ;)



    they were celebrating the 10th anniversary of their first SHOW....not the day they first became a band, not the first time they jammed....not the first time they all played scrabbble together or when their first album was released....but the 10th anniversary of their first show together......which yes, is 10.22.1990.

    if they want to think of 2011 as their 20th anniversary - focus on their first album release...it's their perogative. they said they are celebrating by leading up to that date with the rereleases, etc. basically it's all semantics. so, however, they want to focus on their anniversary.....more power to em!

    I'm guessing the movie project that Cameron Crowe is working on with them comes out on Friday October 22, 2010 in honor of the 10th anniversary.

    doncha mean 20th? ;)




    here's another way to look at it:

    i was married on one date
    engaged an earlier date
    first kiss on another date
    first date on the same date as first kiss
    :mrgreen:
    and onwards....
    we have LOTs of different 'anniversaries'...depending what you want to focus on!



    so pearl jam can have lots of different anniversaries, as mentioned, too! all what they want to focus on...and i bet they focus on em all....culminating with the 2011 date that marks the 20th anniversary of their first album release.

    fair enough, guy.

    their 20th anniversary as a BAND is still in 2010. they formed in 1990.

    and goodie for you for knowing that.....*passes out gold star*.......now what do you expect to win? :P











    seriously, i love these rhetorical questions.....cause really, you started this thread KNOWing what answer is *right* in your mind...so really not looking for discussion of it, just simply to prove you're right.



    well then, how silly of me and my husband for 'celebrating' our anniversary according to when we got married...b/c clearly it should be when we first became a couple. :roll: as i said.....it's all what YOU choose to focus on. i am sure pearl jam looks at 1990 and onwards, as a whole HOST of anniversaries.....and what they may personally deem 'their anniversary'...we may never be privvy to. as i said, that first day they all jammed together, perhaps for them is it. (and yes i know....still 1990 ;)) point is, does it really matter what, or how long they want to celebrate? isn't it MORE important to focus on WHAT they are celebrating....still being together after 20 fucking years rocking our faces off......then on the EXACT *when*.....you want to start the countdown?



    just sayin'.......guy......... :P

    10/22/10 is pretty close to 2011.... couple months.... they're probably just rounding up to when Ten was released.
