    The party at wrigley is a lot of fun just for a baseball game.
    Imagine how rocking it will be for Pearl Jam.
    No opener, summer Friday night at a classic ball park in a great city.
    It is going to be tons o' fun.

    Where the heck is London anyway? :lol:

    I would rather have my testicles removed with a butter knife, and then stapled to my forehead.
    Than have to stand in GA.

    I didn't go to Philly last summer 15 blocks from my house because it was GA. Think I'd really go to Chicago for GA?

    I remember sitting at LOLLA for HOURS AND HOURS with you, only to have some fucking CLOWNS show up 5 minutes before the show, and stand right next to us. They were lucky I was suffering from heat exhaustion, or it could have gotten ugly! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    It was at that exact moment that I said I'd never never do another GA PJ show again.

    If they ever to decide to go to all GA in the states for the fan club, well - it's been nice having been in the fan club these past 15 years lol.

    whats the difference between GA and standing at your seat for 3 hours?

    GA will have plently of room to move aorund and even sit down until the show starts...

    i am not there to fight for a close up spot with the crazies that will be there at 6am... i will roll in at 7pm and still be 50 feet from dead center stage

    fan club only pit... not sure you can beat that

    4 knee surgeries from rugby and football make GA not a pleasant experience.

    You find me some replacement knees and maybe we'll talk.

    that i can understand... but if people dont have a physical issue than to me a seat means you are standing just as long as GA?

    If that person has been in the fan club as long as I've been and does that, then God help the state of the fan club.

    And Jeremy is actually one of my fav songs they do live - not because it's rare or one of my personal favs, but because it's one of the few songs the entire crowd gets into. Trust me I love rare songs, but the best moments of shows sometimes are when the entire audience is involved. Jeremy from the Spectrum 03 is one of my fav PJ moments.

    Wrigley! ... Because of EV's relationship with the Cubs, I think it will be a particularly awesome show to attend. Also, there is way more to do in Chicago than in London, aside from the concert. Of course, if you can do both, do both!
