How old is too old to go to a Pearl Jam concert?
Also, will you stop going to see them when you reach that age?
Hold On

    Most middle age people now were born and raised on rock music. If you were 5 in 1969, you are 44 now. What are we suppose to do, listen to shit because we turn 50?

    I will listen to good rock music until I die and hopefully for a long time after that!

    Like Keith Richards saying it would be ok to die on stage, then it would be ok for me to die in front of stage (hope in 50 years or so).

    You are so right. Not to sound like an old fart but most of the new stuff today sounds like shit. I'm waiting for the next wave of good stuff to come along. After the hairbands from the 70's & 80's the 90's ruled. Until the boy band crap came along.

    I'll be 54 on Monday. Going to Bonnaroo for the fourth time and 8 other shows this tour. I am now old enough to afford this, can take the time off and the kid responsibilities are mostly done. It only gets better. I just can't jump up and down as long as I used to. I might rust but I hope I won't fade away.

    no, but the young people will TELL you it's shit, but you'll laugh at them, because you'll know the truth.

    My parents, in their late 50s, are going to a handful of shows this summer (not PJ, but respectable old-folk rock, that i unfortunately can't afford, ie the Poice.)

    I'm 24 and I'm taking my grandma to MSG1, and she is very excited about it.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    when i went to the Boston '06 show @ the Garden there was some gray haired OLD TIMERS there. Had to be in their 60's! i had a little chuckle and thought that it was pretty cool!!

    Just what is "respectable old-folk rock"? (asked the 46 y/o who's taking his 17 y/o son to his first PJ concert @ Hartford this June...)

    Oh, by the way, in the pit for Linkin Park last summer, on the floor for Dropkick Murphy's in March w/ my son and saw Chris Cornell solo in an Albany bar and the VR and AIC show 3 times last year... Are those "respectable" shows? Just curious...

    Dead is the correct answer. I shall also play soccer until I am crippled!

    I'm not old, at all, really. I'm 19. But something I absolutely love seeing is the diversity of people's ages at a concert. I find it really interesting that people of all ages enjoy the same music, and are all touched the same way! I'll be rocking til' I die, there's no way I won't.
    So, to answer the question: There's no specific age where you're too old!

    Here's a spin on the question: How young is too young?

    That's gonna depend on the show...

    I'd bring a 12 year old to see KISS, but not Kid Rock...

    Kiss was funny when I saw them with Posion a while back. I'd seen Posion previously and there was a lot of swearing and stuff from Brett, but KISS is a "family" band now... No swearing... The cash cow that Gene Simmons and the boys have evolved into wouldn't allow swearing so as not to alienate parents bringing their kids... Pretty funny really...

    I'd rate Pearl Jam a PG-13 kind of band... Eddie can go off with the profanity a bit sometimes...

    Albany 06: "Shouldn't you be home getting laid..."

    MSG 03: The whole play leash you pussies rant...

    etc...

    Wha??

    Music is universal. Music is something that unites us. Music is art. Music has been found in every culture that has ever existed. The human brain is wired for music appreciation. Music speaks to people on so many levels.

    That doesn't go away when you reach a certain age.

    I'll go with the others here, dead.
    I surfaced and all of my being was enlightened.
