SLH, Sea anyone, with all the hub hub over the YEARS about how well NYC treats PJ, why do we only get 2 shows? Bruce plays here for a week at a time. Since people are coming from ALL OVER THE WORLD to see you guys, maybe you should stay longer. MSG is not the only place, maybe outdoors at the Meadowlands for a couple days. That place is huge and would fill a great void in tickets for the people around the globe. I know we do get more shows then others, but since the cross roads of the world comes together here, maybe we could get a few more. Not trying to be greedy. I DID get BOTH MSG shows after relentlessly trying for over 40 minutes both times, but I would love more shows. Maybe even a limit on the amount of shows TC members could buy. 2 shows is ok for a 5 show stop. Thanks for taking the time to read. Bear

    I think having 5 shows with 5 hours is plenty. Would i love more? Of course. Can I afford it? No but that wouldnt stop me.

    5 hours!! Thats crazy. People dont travel half way around the world to come to NYC to only travel another 5 hours by car,bus or train to see another show. We need more NYC shows to calm the swell of missed tickets.

    In 2003, they added the PNC Bank Arts Center show, before they headed south of the border. Perhaps, they'll do the same this year. That show was incredible, too.

    They felt a commitment to honor the request to play the south...sadly they were humiliated.
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    Personally, I think they should do a small venue fan club only show in NYC. Along with the two MSG shows. So we can all fight over those tickets...lol. But no honestly, it would be awesome if they add a few small venue dates in the Northeast.

    Put it this way...

    I live really close to albany...

    I'm going to see them 4 times this tour...

    I will not have to travel more than 2-3 hours to see them.

    That's pretty insane....

    A lot of fans aren't so lucky.

    Having more shows in NYC would do nothing to solve the ticket shortage because the same freaking people would go to all of the freaking shows! (If I lived in NYC, I would include myself in that...)

    NYC isn't the center of the universe for everyone. Two shows are enough for you, I think! ;)
    We're all different behind the eyes.

    You are U, who you are.

    I fucking love the concert venue you guys have up there... I saw Tool there this past summer and every was so close together, it was awesome!.... I say Pearl Jam should do a show or two in Albany!

    I agree. Also, the sound at Continental Airlines in 2006 was just plain AWFUL. I probably had nosebleed seats (not 10c) but I couldn't see the band very well and it sounded like they were singing a few rooms away from where I was sitting. The CD recording sounded like it was one of the best live shows ever, though.

    wait, I'm confused. Did Al Gore invent the Internet and want to fight global warming?
