anybody would go if they were given passes.... so you are all full of shit if you say you wouldn't
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!
no i don't..but i do know if u lived in san fran and were handed 2 passes..you would walk in ( if you liked pearl jam)
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......
Can't believe this thread is 5 pages in and no one who has yet to play the "Hey, they all have families and KIDS TO FEED, they gotta make ends meet somehow" card...
Pretty lame, but not surprising. I did remember Vedder played the private party for Oracle a few years ago, wasn't it at the Four Seasons or something?
I know someone who was at the Target employee thing at Target Center a couple years ago too. He told me (not sure if this is accurate) that after they played the 3 song thing with all the other bands, they played another set, mostly acoustic stuff, later on I think that night, maybe at a different venue. I mean, Target at least sold their MUSIC... Oracle is just giving them a big fat paycheck.

For this??? No I wouldn't! I'd tear them up! But thanks again for telling me what I would do! I have to go to work now so that I can afford my mortgage and a meal tonight! Bye bye!

I don't mind them taking the easy pay day, I just wish they would own it. An announcement should be made here, the setlist should be listed here, photos displayed, and bootleg sold. This is Not for Us..

I hope they play a full band, seven minute version of that "I'm So Glad We Made It To When It All Got Good" song from PJ20.
Since their hauling out all their gear might as well play a free show in Golden Gate Park to wash some of that corporate karma off their back!

kinda like the beacon theater show they did in 08 for the robin hood foundation. Keep it all hush hush, right??

Man, Pearl Jam fans are such lame asses these days.
yeah 10 or 15 years ago the fans on this thread would have already had it locked too many ukulele songs and stupid father time have softened us all
10-15 years try like 4. I couldn't be bothered to get this thread locked, but I will go listen to not for you and laugh at all the whiny posts in this thread that think its "their band".

I think its perfectly reasonable that some fans find it odd that Pearl Jam, a band that has stood against the corporate world in the past, will be playing a semi-private corporate event for one of the biggest corporate companies in the world.
Its not a case of ownership of the band, its a case of it being weird. One of the main reasons many of us fell for this band was not only their music but their outlook on the world and this event appears not to correlate with the PJ we all knew in the past.
Sure, times change, people grow up and their priorities change. But do PJ NEED to do this? Probably not.

Geez, I'm reluctant to comment on stuff they do, they don't owe me anything. But it just doesn't feel right that they're letting themselves be used by a big company that wants to look good.

So it must be weird to see pj play festivals that are sponsored by big corp or is that ok cause fans can get tix unlike this corporate event??

Why do I picture Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute trying to throw a party back at the hotel after this gig?
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

Look the economics of the music industry have changed forever and festivals/corporate sponsored or not are part of it...
BUT the fact that they are doing a non-public corporate sponsored concert event at Oracle... is different for me....

Almost looks as bad as them playing festivals with big corp as sponsors, right?
Look on the brightside, maybe they can talk to oracle bout upgrading the piss poor servers during ticket sales.

Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
I hope they play a full band, seven minute version of that "I'm So Glad We Made It To When It All Got Good" song from PJ20.
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
"Come take my hand, and let yourself rely.
Don't hold your breath, don't close your eyes.
I've learned to breath and I've learned to fly.
I've learned to see and I know I'm going higher."

Yeah, cause people would have been much cooler about them doing an event like this in 1995...

No kidding. I read that Monsanto is a client of Oracle. Good God, PJ is supporting this??!!

Some good points here.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
It does not fit this band.
Oracle has over 380,000 customers that include the largest corporations and the most well respected non-profit foundations.
So it must be weird to see pj play festivals that are sponsored by big corp or is that ok cause fans can get tix unlike this corporate event??
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
Anyone who says they'd rather go to the Pearl Jam show than Michael and Dwight's private hotel room party is a damn liar.
BUT the fact that they are doing a non-public corporate sponsored concert event at Oracle... is different for me....
It doesn't matter how many non-profits are on their client list. Monsanto is pure evil.
