If they are going for 16K that counts out the Sears Centre.
The venue has hosted THE WHO, TOOL, ROD STEWART, BILLY JOEL.
Great acoustics and sound system though.
Sears Centre Arena is an 11,800-seat multi-purpose family entertainment, cultural and sports center. Seating capacity for the arena ranges from 3,000-6,000 for theater shows; 9,400 for hockey, lacrosse and soccer games; 10,000 for basketball games and 11,800 for concerts.
The management company is Philadelphia-based Global Spectrum, a subsidiary of the Comcast cable television company. It manages 87 arenas throughout the United States and will bring in its own ticketing, food, sales and marketing.
a little birdie told me that PJ, Them Crooked Vultures and Soundgarden will be performing/headlining at Lollapalooza this year. this is just what i was told. nothing officially confirmed though.
I don't think it'd be shocking if Cameron plays both shows, thus double shots. This way he can play w/both bands.
- When Eddie sang the stretch the last time they were in town, he told Len and Bob (Cubs announcers) that they'd probably never play Wrigley Field, because that meant he couldn't go to a Cubs game, and that was one of his favorite things to do when he was in town.
- 16K+ means Allstate, the UC, or outside somewhere.
- May 29 is the playoffs for both the Bulls and the 'Hawks. And, probably only the Hawks will still be alive at that point, but the home dates would be unknown for quite some time, so that throws a wrench into the UC.
- At the 8/24 show, I distinctly remember Eddie saying it would be a long time before they got back "here"... I can't imagine that 8-9 months means a "long time" in his book... but I certainly hope so.

I used to live about 1 block from the Vic, but I missed that show because of conflicting things... I can't possibly imagine how good that was.

I heard the same thing, Clock. The official press release of the Jazz Fest stated they are not touring the US this spring. That's a one off show. The more likely scenario is a Lolla headlining spot with Soundgarden being in town and then a group of about 10-12 shows based around the 20th anniversary show. Keep in mind everyone that Soundgarden is touring this year. PJ is already booked to play Europe in the summer, and if they are to play the expected fall anniversary shows, and then the spring as you all hope--when will SG play?

Especially given that this scenario would likely involve PJ headlining Sunday and Soundgarden playing (possibly headlining) Saturday night...

But that would force me to go to Lolla again... I still say if you're not upfront its the worst place to see a concert in possibly the world! At least it felt like it - I could barely hear the band during the 'slower' songs because so many people were talking around us, playing frisbee/hacky-sack/etc...

But its only an hour away so I'd be there!
Ugh, I don't want to go to Lolla again. It was 95 degrees, a bitch to get there and back from Wisconsin, was a work night, and expensive too. I'd rather see PJ and Soundgarden separately to be honest, if that's possible.
PLEEEEAAAASSSSSSE dont play on May 29th. I have a wedding to stand up in that night! I will take any day but May 29th for a Chicago show. The last few years PJ has been pretty good at working around my life schedule so im pretty confident this will all work out in my favor. Either that or I get my girlfriends brother to change his wedding date pronto!! haha!
If this is true, my guess would be Alpine cause when they were in town last Aug on the 1st nite eddie mentioned that they were trying for those shows to be at Alpine Valley, but it just didint work out at the time.
Well, if they're having trouble finding a suitable Chicago venue, St. Louis ain't too far. Or Alpine. Or Iowa.
St. Louis please.

Pearl Jam may be set to play Chicago on May 29th. Promoters are currently looking into venues for 16,000+ and that is official. I have been told of June 1st but the band are leaning for a pre weekend show. And may play 2 nights Sat/Sun if they can find reasonable venue.
Updates as and when I get them.

Those of you not from the Midwest don't realize that in late May, at night, in the outdoors can still be cold here.
My guess would be
UIC Pavilion
or
Rosemont Horizon (not sure if that is what it is called still)
both decent places to see a show
Weather was my first thought too. Probably bc today it was 35 here and it felt warm.
"A snow flake falls in May." Always loved that line until it actually happen last May...
Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
