Pearl Jam or Stones Roses?
Before you jump on me for asking a silly question, hear me out...
I have a ticket to the Stone Roses come back show in Manchester on June 29th next year. I live in Belgium and as you all know by now, PJ play here on the same day.
I have seen PJ 7 times, I have never seen the Stone Roses.
After PJ, the Roses have been one of the biggest musical influences in my life.
PJ are the best live, having seen Ian Brown many times I think the Roses will be, at best, good. Its more of a sentimental thing.
My wife and I have just had a baby (1 week ago. She's called Lotte Pearl Jarrey
), my wife has already said she won't want to come to PJ (she has seen them 4 times with me). My best friend and I have the Roses tickets, he is the biggest Roses fan I know.
So, you see my dilemma.
One thing I thought about was going to Berlin the week after, problem is, I have no one to go with! Well, I do but no one who is a real PJ fan.
There is also another spanner in the works. My mate, who I am going to the Roses with, well, he and his lady are expecting a baby on June 29th!! Its very early days yet but he may not even be able to go now (much to his annoyance!).
Oh god, i dont know what to do!!
I don't want to tell my mate I am not coming as it will piss him off. BUT he may not be able to go, but won't know this for months!
Arrrgghh!!! :( :evil:

If your friend's lady has the baby a few days before the 29th will he still be going the gig? I would base a decision on this. Is he 100% he can go the gig? If not, then choose PJ. If he thinks he can definitely go the gig, choose Stone Roses. Because in all likihood next summer is the only chance this generation will get to see the Stone Roses. Pearl Jam ain't stopping any time soon!

Something to consider: Werchter is a festival right? I think Stone Roses might have the edge here, then :shock:
And oh, about going to the concert by yourself? Don't even worry about it. A lot of people will be flying solo. You just make friends there.
I also will see PJ on this tour, somehow.... I just want to get it sorted. Looks like I may have to be patient, something I am not good at.
I am thinking about buying TenC tickets to Berlin, it's a days drive from here... could be done
If you decide to go to Berlin, we might be able to help you out.
Cool, thank you..... I may have an empty car, if that helps
I was more thinking along the lines of us giving you a ride...
i'll buy your roses tickets if you decide not to go :-)
oh right!! great!!
Aaaahhhh.... thanks!
I may have some good news for you.... let me do some asking
