4 shows at MSG in August???? extreme rumor.

Jeremys Spoken

I was talking to a guy on another board... baseball related, he knows im a PJ fan.. he told me he has a friend with Live Nation saying Pearl Jam is working out plans for 4 shows at the Garden next August.



I have a hard time believing it though. Did PJ ever use LN anyway?

I wonder if this 4 shows in a big city thing is going to become a habit.

I say it only happens if they continue doing these mini tours.

For now, speculate away.

So he seemed pretty serious, and we barely speak on there.. idk, I guess we wait and see.

for some reason i find that doubtful. that said, my gawd, that would be AWESOME! just pleeeeaassssseeeee, EARLY august! it would utterly suck to miss any of my hometown shows due to work, and i most definitely would miss shows if any were end of august thru september 15th. same deal with march/april. do please keep this in mind pj.


and yes, i know i am quite alone in my thinking, but man, if they are going to do another long run, 3-4 shows...in NY....in the summer...i would love, love, love to see them at jones beach! i didn't see them there in 2000, my first show was uniondale 2003....but man, would LOVE it! i was *just* by the jones beach theatre this past sunday, taking a fabulous walk on the boardwalk, enjoying this fantastic weather here...and yea.....would be GREAT.

I want to believe it will happen, but yet again this guy is just a poster on a Mets board.

Tickets for some of Ed's solo shows were sold through Live Nation.

I've always wanted to go to NY, and my wife and I are planning to travel next summer to see PJ. So this would be freakin' win-WIN!

The current L.A. shows are through Live Nation.

Anyway, I hear they're working on a deal to do 10 nights at the new Giants Stadium. At the first show, they're going to play the "Born To Run" album in its entirety.

I used to work at MSG, as well as for Delsener/Slater (before becoming Live Nation). I usually email my old boss to find out inside info, since she knows what dates bands are holding MSG, and what bookings are confirmed. I'm not going to email her on this because this is simply (probably) way too early to have anything FIRM booked.

E.G. Probably no one else knows that Pearl Jam had MSG on hold for 2 nights in November 2005. A few months before those November 2005 MSG shows, the released their hold. Then, Pearl Jam had MSG on hold for 2 nights in May 2006. They again gave up their hold, and played two shows in NJ instead and Storytellers on the date they originally held MSG for. They ended up playing 2 nights at MSG in 2008... 2.5 years after they had originally planned.

The point I'm getting to is... of course PJ is talking with LN about playing MSG. They do this all the time as well as other tour plans. Only when a "hold" is placed is there serious intent... and even then, they've many times put a hold, and then passed on the gig.

And, yes, PJ has worked with Live Nation since it's inception. They originally worked with Ron Delsener Presents, then Delsener/Slater, then SFX bought out D/S, then Clear Channel bought out SFX, and now Live Nation.

...again, all I'm saying is that "conversations" are always happening, but I would not get excited so early, or until my old boss emails me saying "guess what's on hold again".

See... this is the first problem. You're using logic and experience instead of just making stuff up. Stop it!

Haha... yeah. That darned experience.

There could be something to this guy's claim though. You just never know who you're talking to on a board (me included, be skeptical of everyone) but a booking almost a year in advance? Not likely. But... I'm hoping they'll book there. I need a reason to head up there again. Miss my hometown.

When I hear anything that I'm not told in significant confidentiality, I'll pass it on to y'all. No news for now though.

as long as its in the NY / NJ area fine by me
