"This is our last stop in Texas for quite awhile"
Just listening to the Dallas 03' boot...unique show...opened with Alive.
Anyway, after playing Green Disease, Eddie says very sincerely..."This is our last stop in Texas for quite awhile."
Boy, he wasn't kidding. I never knew there was ever such a direct comment about avoiding Texas.

If ACL was not going on they wouldn't be coming to Texas... Hell they have not been to Austin since the Vitalogy tour... They won't come for the fans, but they will come down to do the Austin City Limits TV SHOW and headline ACL for a bunch of tools who most likely have not listened to PJ in the past 10 years.
Sorry for the rant, just don't understand why they have purposely avoided Texas and much of the South.... :x
It seems pretty evident that they are doing it on purpose... hmm...

no shit....but I will be @ ACL!!
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick, masochistic lion."
i agree...it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. but ACL will be great & hopefully, they'll remember to add 3 of the 10 largest cities in the US in 2010!

I feel spoiled because I live near Boston and we get shows all the time. They should spread the love to the good fans in the south!
thanks! keep the good vibes coming & it just *might* happen!!

Enjoy ACL! I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed for the Texas fans next year!! From what I've seen on the message board there is a lot of fans down there. Texas is the most deserving for some shows next year!
ACL should be solid! I am hoping that now W. is out of the picture, PJ will return and play some proper shows in 2010. I sure would like to take a road trip around Texas to see them!
1. I think you read too much into Eddie's comments. At the time the Dallas stop was the last one on the Riot Act tour and it went on for a few more months. I am sure at the time he had know idea if they were ever going to record another album much less what future touring stops were or were not going to be.
2. You can't believe anything he says on stage. He says "see you next time" and stuff like that all the time and then never comes back.
3. The show was not "sold out" technically but there were only a few lawn seats left. The argument about ticket sales in Texas doesn't hold water and never did. Selling a few tickets under capacity is no reason to avoid a city or there are plenty of cities they wouldn't go to again.
4. They have returned to the south since then and so has Ed. Just not Texas yet for some reason. I think they will be back in 2010.

Considering your comment, isnt it weird that they even considered Utah? If there was ever a state where the major majority of the population runs contrary to almost every ideal that PJ rallys or rants, it has to be Utah. If I'm not mistaken, wasnt Utah like the second most RED state last November, other than (uhem) Wyoming.
I want to wear a "dont blame me, I'm not a Utahn Republican" shirt when they come to SLC.
From a politics and social perspective, you're absolutely right. Austin is COMPLETELY different from the rest of the state.
Unfortunately, the only sizable venue for PJ to play here is the Erwin Center, which is suspect at best. I could see Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio for sure.
Sorry,don't believe they are that petty and childish.

i was totally kidding in this post. i don't think they have stayed away for 6 years because of politics. that would seem to be very un-PJ to me. i don't know why they haven't come back and maybe '10 is the year and if not i will keep using my frequent flyer miles to see them.
Saw them in Houston, then headed to Toronto. The Toronto crowd was intense, rockin. During the show Ed said this would get them to come back...(toronto) and they have, repeatedly.....course this was during dubya's highs with many followers at the show in Houston. Ed mentioned he wanted to start some shit but was afraid of his skin. ....it may have a tiny little bit to do with politics.

Me thinks so...at least a bit. I mean they are playing ACL and that is fantastic, so I am extremely satisfied with that
Starting off with Alive was incredibly awesome and VERY unexpected!
Then why did they only show four out of the five members on the cover of the Unplugged DVD. They certainly weren't taking the high road on that one.
