    I really believe we had plenty to do with this. Let's sell these shows out so the band will come back with ed next time!

    I am giddy... giggling at my desk, the world is bright and shiny giddy. :D

    EV is great, what would make this amazing would be a PJ tour to mirror the EV tour.

    Congrats to those that got the shows...

    But when 4 dates in TX, and 4 dates in FL count for a "Southern Tour", well, shit...

    I just give up.

    NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, TN, KY... aw well... Im still happy for those that finally get to see at least 1/5 of the band without the use of an airplane!

    Enjoy...

    I don't think of it as a southern tour at all. In my ideal world EV is testing the waters for a 2012 Southern tour ...and I intend to do my part to make sure EV knows PJ would be welcomed with open arms.

    To a Greek and a Canadian, I guess the term "South" means something different, like Southern California to Miami, FL.

    Here, nobody from Las Vegas says, "Ya, I'm from the South."

    just a clarification. Again, congrats to those that get the shows. Luckily, I have my private jet... somewhere... dammit.. I just had it... aw shit, where did it go?

    If you think that Pearl Jam has no way to tell if a multi-million dollar, cross-country tour would be successful/proftable or not, after 20 years of doing it, without first sending Ed out on a multi-million dollar, cross-country tour to "test the waters" as you put it, then I have some very nice beach front property to sell you in AZ.

    :lol: Tours are about minimizing costs and maximizing profits. Hence the 4 shows in TX, 4 in FL, etc.

    Its the typical PJ Northeast tour model applied to the expansive southern US, where greater distance b/w shows (fuel costs/travel time) in smaller cities equal less profit.

    The 2000 and 2003 tours were the last great PJ US tours, and I don't think they'll do it on that scale again. In 10 years they'll just post up at Caesars Palace and play every night for 2 years like Elton John. haha.
