Kids at Shows

Kids? Keep your kids at home old people!

I don't want some creepy 7 year old ruining the spiritual peak I'm gonna hit when the shrooms kick in right about the time they pull out No Way early in set one Chicago.

I guess if they are down with shrooms, I could stand them.

make sure your kid is old enough to handle a contact high....cause i'm the guy who's right it is to spark 12 joints (more like 3 speedy) during the show!

I took my daughter to her first concert..PJ in 06..when she was 13..i have seen people with like 8 year olds and that's just too young imo

This is just a question....Because I dont care how many joints you spark...

Just a question....

If you have the right to spark up 3 joints.....

Does that give me the right to call security, have you escorted out of the venue, handcuffed by police, and thrown in jail?

PJ shows are all ages.
I brought my 6 month old to Calgary and she's cominng to Vancouver with me too. As long as she's in my arms, i don't see how it affects anyone else, imo. She'll have headphones on so her ears are well protected.

As for the smoke, Arenas are non-smoking. You light up next to me and apparently i'm horrible for having my kid there? ...IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO SMOKE INSIDE. I don't get how i'm made out to be the bad one fro bringing my kid.

Only thing that would stop me to bring young kid's to the rock show is the mass smoking. Their little ear's will be well protected. Just their health of being there taking in the smell, sucks. :(

I'm against smoking inside @ the show's. I'm against smoking, period. That's just me. It's gross & sick. If it's an outdoor event, smoke your life away. But indoor's, those vent fan's from above can only take in & do so much. Plus theres way to many rude people out there that don't care who's next to you before they light up; plus they don't even ask if it's ok to light up. Read the sign's before entering the show. "No Smoking!" So what does that mean? No Smoking. The mind & knowledge of these 3 year olds are smarter then those grownups this day of age.

I suppose that is a fair comment. However .....to call me old would imply I have been listening to the band since you were in diapers. I suppose.

As I said I am pretty open minded about stuff like that. It is however a shame to think "that a 7 year old could "ruin your spiritual peak" Perhaps you should bring more shrooms. Or is it simply the peak is not that high?!?!?!?!?!

Eddie loves kids.
I've even seen him pull some up on stage.
I'm surprised more kids aren't at PJ shows.

I'm surprised too! To share the Pearl Jam experience "live" with your young son/daughter is the greatest feeling. Youth is king. They will never forget these day's; you won't forget them too!

Sure, I even think the first 3 rows should be reserved for kids under the age of 8 because the
band doesn't like seeing the same old faces there show after show.

That'd be awesome to see Eddie ripping through DTE to a bunch of 5 year olds. They'd be like "wtf?".

"It's Evolution BABIES!!!"

The look on their faces would be priceless.

I understand your desire to bring your child, but really I think that eight is a little young.
Especially on the floor.
You shouldn't expect others to change to accomadate your children.
I think most people at PJ shows are fairly respectful to young and old.
So if you can deal with typical PJ behaviour then bring them.
Otherwise you might want to wait.
Remember it's not the Ice Capades, it's a rock and roll show.

A pearl jam show is NOT the place for a kid under 12, IMO. I may be overly-protective, but if they've never been exposed to some of the stuff that goes on at a PJ show, why would YOU want to be the one that introduces them to it. Whether or not you're getting plastered or using bad language yourself, etc. you make it cool to them by condoning it. Kids grow up fast enough as it is, I don't think it's my job as a parent to seek out ways to strip away their innocence faster than the world will eventually...

Well, actually I think we are the ideal people to introduce them to that kind of behavior. My kids are homeschooled, and they are not exposed to 'tween' pop culture or many other things that, as you said, strip away their innocence.

So, we are not anti-drugs although we do not partake ourselves. We know that odds are that our kids will drink and try drugs somewhere along the way. In my experience, both as a kid and as a parent, making something "taboo" only makes it more interesting. If they happen to see someone puking their guts out in the parking lot or acting like an ass indoors, frankly I think that teaches them a pretty good lesson about moderation and self-control.

If you are standing next to us and you light up, I am not going to report you -- although, as I posted before, last year I appreciated the fact that people around us were considerate enough to ask before doing so. I have explained to my boys that they will see and smell people smoking, and that it is a standard part of the concert-going experience for many people. My older son, in particular, needs to work on developing tolerance, and this is an excellent opportunity for him to do so.

As for bad language, I try not to get worked up about it. Around here, we have much bigger issues to address.

My younger son tried to pull out some unacceptable language, and I put a stop to it. When he said, "Well, Eddie uses the 'F-word,'" I told him that he may, too -- just as soon as he has told ten or twenty million albums. I think both boys are old enough to understand context and to distinguish right from wrong.

I have a great sense of humor, just didn't find anything humorous in your post.

And it's a World Champion Philadelphia Phillies Troll

I just happen to think kids behave better than adults tripping out on drugs
