i think most people don't understand the meaning of pj20 and that's why got upset.

pj20 was not "let's play your favorite songs."
pj20 was not "let's play the rarest songs"
pj20 was not "let's play only what this guy wants to hear"
pj20 was not "let's play for 45 hours straight so everyone will be happy"


PJ20 was a celebration of being together for 20 years which ed has stated should be easy but isn't and it's lucky they got to be around for the good years.
PJ20 was about pearl jam still rocking, still enjoying what they do, still making amazing music.
PJ20, like it or not, was not about YOU, it was about THEM! it was more like, they were throwing a party with their closest friends and with the people that mean the most to them and allowing us to participate.

it's an immense thing, being able to make it to 20 years without a break up or anything else that other bands go through. it was about seeing where they came from, seeing what started it all, seeing how much they've changed and grown as a band and as individuals, and thanking the people who got them to that point, whether it be the fans, their wives/girlfriends, brendan o'brien, the supporting bands, or each other. it wasn't about us. it was about them. and people need to get over it and celebrate.

haters be hatin indeed....

I vote this best reply on this subject

not everyone paid that price, i certainly didn't, and if you wanted to be there for cheap, you would have found a way.

The point is, that is what the fan club charged...on the low end.

A fucking men.

I've been listening to pearl jam for 20 years
I've been loving them for 20 years
The set lists were amazingly unpredictable. I was listening to a feed so sad cause I couldn't be there but so happy that someone had tried their hardest to share the experience with other fans. (thanks to Garry I believe your name is)

Unfortunately I think too many asshats had to pay 1300 bux to go to these unbelievable shows

Suspect next time you should save your cash and go to some pop act. Least then they'll play every predictable song you wanna hear.

So, what do you mean that it's unfortunate that 'too many asshats had to pay $1300 to go to these unbelievable shows?' Are they asshats for paying it? Are you saying the band was wrong for charging $1300? Because it sounds like you think that when you say 'too many'. Sounds like you have empathy for those that did.

missisles

I dont think these shows can be prices
It was gonna cost nearly 10000 to come from aus and I assure you if I could have come up with the cash I'd have been there

And it would have been worth each and every cent
If you think you paid too much, in my opinion, you shouldn't have been there

yeah, the problem is that there is a disproportionate amount of people thinking they paid too much. That's the issue.

missisles

No
There's a disproportionate amount of people bitching about the sets and that totd shouldn't have played and wha wha wha

Sets were amazing.
That's all there is to it.

And if people are Unhappy with it they gotta ask if they truly belonged at the shows

Yeah, what you said in your first sentence. "There's a disproportionate amount of people bitching.'' I've never seen this level of people unhappy with the PJ experience. And that's a problem.

missisles

Anytime pearl jam play anywhere in the world there are ways threads about how they thought it wasn't good enough. Or it wasnt fair
Or they think they deserved more.
It's bullshit and I'm sick of it
This is a place for pearl jam fans
Not bitchy whinging cause people don't get what they wanted.

Hey, I love them, but doesn't mean I have to drink the Kool-aid. It just wasn't that great.

missisles

Sorry they didn't play to your every desire and whim

But seriously


Then take your hate else where
Cause people watching via camera link were in absolute awe and amazement

No. You are lying. There are two members bitching on this thread, and it's pretty much the same on the today's fanviews thread.

A very few people are bitching. See the fanview thread from today. This poster is puting false statements out there, no need to repeat them as if they were facts.
