    anyway you read this 'appearance' it's kinda fucked up.. this is really not the band I signed up for almost 15 years ago.

    they can play wherever they want, but WHY CAN'T have a fricking show for real fans in SF, whats with the festivals and special appereances...

    I agree.. it's pure madness.. not sure what they were thinking with this one.

    Hahahahahahahaha, oh that's funny. You obviously don't know Larry Ellison, he's a greedy s.o.b.


    larry ellsion is the worlds 5th richest person and the 3rd richect in the USA...

    between 2000-2010 he was the best paid executive of the decqde and as CEO his compensation in 2008 was $84,598,700...

    and he bought and owns 98% of Hawaii's 6th largest island, Lanai

    there is nothing wrong with being rich, but considering how the greed and compensation of executives in the US is helping destory the economy eat away at the wages of the average american, it's interesting company the boys are choosing to keep nowadays...

    Hawaii's Lanai = Surfing - I can see a connection ;)

    Trust me, I deal with Oracle everyday and seeing how the company operates regarding licensing their software to companies, it's G-R-E-E-D with a capital G every time. It's outrageous. Having said that, this is just a user appreciation event, it's intended for people that use Oracle not Oracle employee's themselves. Tom Petty played the event last year, maybe that's what gave Pearl Jam the thought to do it?

    Still don't know how I feel about this. Think I'm mildly disappointed but at the same time, it's probably easy money. I'm still stuck on Pearl Jam + Oracle. It's just weird more than anything else, for me!

    While it's fine and all that they want to play events like this (as it very much is their right) I hope songs like Soon Forget never pop up in their sets again. If you think Mick Jagger still singing about not being able to get any satisfaction is ridiculous now that he's a gazillionaire with 74 kids from 74 different supermodels I don't see how you think seeing Ed singing about how "corporations rule the day" or "the haves have not a clue" is really any different...

    I thought 10C was gonna try and give us a heads up on concerts?

    Clearly the corporate world has more influence...

    I don't blame them for doing it but it does leave a weird taste in the mouth...

    Guess that's why they decided against the 2nd show in Missoula. Probably gonna drive straight there on Monday the 1st.

    Pearl Jam isn't playing the Oracle Music Festival. They're playing the Oracle Appreciation Event for $2,395 a head. They're two different things.

    Wow...

    I don't usually comment on what they choose to do but,

    this looks bad...

    Right cause you know me and you know what I would do! Hilarious! :nono: Why would I support a CEO that pays himself the salary that he pays himself? Pearl Jam have become exactly what they use to preach against. They are part of the machine! Now I feel dirty for being a fan!

    Mike was right about a SF gig.





    Well, I've been waiting for this, as I was the one to break the news on here after Mike told me about an upcoming SF gig at the FTM show here in Vegas this past May. I was thinking how he left me hanging and what he must've been thinking when telling me about a SF gig. I was thinking, how did he screw up Missoula for SF? Glad to finally hear this, but wish it was more open to all.
