    thank god pj doesn't do ga in the usa. i cant even think of the amount of fratheads who would join the 10c just to "mosh" and bumrush to the front. people(kids) don't even know how to "mosh" properly these days.

    I can’t imagine moshing at pj’s shows now.
    Back then yeah. Now…….. naaa can’t see it.
    I’m not even taking Rockslide into account.

    There's a big difference between a mosh pit full of idiots that throw themselves into everybody without giving a shit and a cool GA vibe where you are free from the restriction of seating. I've seen PJ seated 3 times and standing 9 times and standing beats sitting every time.

    Even when it got a bit crazy at the O2, Ed stopped the show and asked us all to take 3 steps back before they carried on. Nothing will ever beat the vibe of a standing room PJ gig for me

    What? Do they only pjMosh at festivals now?
    Because I’ve seen them in 98, 00, 06, 08. There was no moshing.
    What? People don’t mosh in the South anymore? lol

    Its about freedom. If you have a chair that you absolutely are not allowed to move from for an entire show, it ruins it. 2003 and 2006 Aus tours were disappointing in this regard (but 1998 was awesome - GA), so I am truly happy for the upcoming GA shows.

    Before this summer I had only seen Pearl Jam in reserved seating shows. I was lucky enough to see them in Berlin this summer, and I was really close to the front. That was the best atmosphere I've ever seen a show in, and I'd love to get more of it. It was exhausting, but totally worth it. I'm not saying that it should be like that all the time, but it's definitely something that should happen from time to time. I had been wanting to see a GA show like that for a long time, and now I'm hooked.
