it would be sad to think that festival goers at Roskilde would never be able to see Pearl Jam play there again, tragedies happen, and maybe there is stuff behind the scenes such as organizers blaming the band that maybe we wouldn't know the full story on, but as with anything in life, it goes on, and if they ever do decide to play Roskilde again it could be done in a way that it honors the memories on the 9 who lost their lives, possibly a portion of the proceeds could go to the families, just a thought http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roskilde_Festival

    not an easy topic this one....

    and no one knows what the band did or will do for the families or the memories of our brothers there
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

    agreed, it is a sensitive subject, but the band seems to love playing festivals so much..........so it seems like a natural question to ask, if they do not return I think it would be the fact that festival organizers may of tried to place blame on the band, when obviously there was nothing the band could of done, then I would understand some hard feelings and not wanting to return, but if was the politicians and media who were the ones trying to point blame at the band, then I am not sure why you would boycott the festival, fans are the only ones losing on that deal in my opinion, not sure we will ever know the whole story

    anyway..again..isnt easy to touch this...and pj played to Denmark twice since then,and they mention about it at shows,for the memory of those fans,and what happened at Berlin 10 was unreal...and we know the story about Arc,and the LBC lyrics..
    seems to me this topic need to be taken very seriously,with sensitive and the word blame not be in the conversation...and i dont see how if they dont play in a venue twice means they boycott the festival..

    I was saying that there was no one to blame for what happened, it was a tragic accident, but I remember when it happened there were people trying to place blame, that is all I was saying, and boycott was the wrong word, choosing not to return because of circumstances would be more appropriate way of saying it
