The PLAY MINNESOTA Thread!

How about another St. Paul venue? The Fitzgerald Theater is named for Minnesota native son, F. Scott Fitzgerald, is allegedly haunted (by a former stagehand named "Ben" and a performer named "Veronica"), and is home to "A Prairie Home Companion." Chris Cornell played there this past year too!







...with a capacity of 1,058, this might be more of an EV venue, but it would be awesome to see Pearl Jam there!

Tuesday morning bump! Play Minnesota Pearl Jam!

vant0037

How about an acoustic set a la MTV Unplugged at the Dakota Jazz Club?



Matt being a big jazz fan would love this and it would be amazing...but so would Xcel!



Dave likes it! (that was from the amazing Foo Fighters show on 9/14!

PJ could slum it at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium and its awful sound!



I saw Beck and MGMT there, but the sound stunk!

Pearl Jam in Minnesota in 2012!

i didn't know roy wilkins had a seated floor setup.

let's not forget that pj stuck it to us in 2009 with their short set at target center for the target corporate meeting. they all were in town and didn't even do a proper show! c'mon man!

1998 the crowd goes apeshit after a fuckup. crowd was nuts in 2003. in 2006 the 1/2 petty crowd even got into betterman. this town treats this band right.

pj 2012 in minnesota. i say induct target field as a concert venue.

I would love to make a trip to the cities again. Being in Eau Claire makes it a really easy drive. But first ave.... That has to be too small... I'll judge it after Foster The People in December.

Oh never! The Roy wouldn't be good at all... Oh the sound.... I was in a different state of mind when I saw A Perfect Circle there though...

How about The Triple Rock? Anyone been there? Great food, awesome sound, great beers!



I know that's unlikely, so I'd settle for here:

I love the Triple Rock. It is WAY too small though.. again... Saw Communist Daughter there.. That was a treat!

Got to be at the X. By far the best acoustics in town for a larger venue. Or possibly an outdoor concert at a natural amphitheater. Like something similar to the We Fest grounds in Detroit Lakes but smaller if need be.

wpg pearl

i would make the trip from Canada if this happens foresure.......

I agree it has to be at the X...but I've started throwing out venues, because, well, its fun!

Xcel for sure...great sound, good capacity, and downtown St. Paul is actually pretty cool when you know the spots to hit.

vant0037

...also, who wouldn't die to see PJ at a small club? Of course First Ave is too small and of course Triple Rock is too small...but it'd be fucking amazing to see them there!

But I'll take the X!
