Could there actually be something to this? Interesting that the Phoenix automatically goes with Pearl Jam when reporting this.

SEEMS LOGICAL, I WAS WONDERING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN BETWEEN THE MONTREAL AND TORONTO SHOWS.
MAKES A WHOLE LOTTA SENSE TO ME.
LOOKS LIKE I MAY BE DRIVING TO MONTREAL THEN BOSTON??

I kind of figure they'll be in Toronto for TIFF before the shows...

I think it's also going to be screened at TIFF.

I would love to see that but I wouldn't be surprised to see it's metallica and the big 4 they play Yankee stadium a few days later

I always get my hopes up because this is a lifelong pipe dream of mine. Currently holding out a thread of hope that the original plan was TIFF but that gave way to Venice and the band suddenly had some free time on the road 6 hours from Fenway.

Sure, there is a 99.9% chance it won't happen but it is still fun to dream.

PEARL JAM, as long suspected by Vedderites of the Ten Club, is the most logical answer, as the Seattle bros will play two 20th anniversary concerts September 3 and 4 at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin, before hitting the Bell Centre in Montreal on September 7. Vedder and Co. then have THREE DAYS OFF, September 8, September 9, and September 10, before two gigs at the Air Canada Center in Toronto starting September 11. Potential border-crossing issues aside, PJ's sked kinda makes it obvious, eh?

Erm, no.

So their reasoning is because PJ have 3 days off between Montreal and Toronto? Oh dear. I highly doubt PJ will be staging a 3 day festival on September 8, 9 and 10.

Anyone who knows the Fenway neighborhood can pretty much count the big 4 out at playing Fenway

i would say doutful. they rarely play more than two nights back to back, which means they could only fit in one show on the 9th, unless they do two shows in boston giveing them three shows in a row. i'd bet metallica or sir paul before PJ

A 3 day festival? No.
A single show on Friday, September 9th? Maybe.

just because they got a permit for all 3 days doesn't mean it will be used for all 3 days. just gives a group more options on the dates.

I am in the Sir Paul McCartney camp.

Makes sense .. he is playing Yankee Stadium + Wrigley this summer.
He did play their recently though (08 I think?) - but that doesnt mean much when you are talking about Macca. He is still a bigger draw then Pearl Jam will ever be

yup exactly. pj had a hold of the spectrum for a few nights and only decided to play 4 nights. coulda easily played on the 29th.

Hopefully not unless he adds more dates it looks like his little tour ends beginning of august
