I think what he was saying is to be more realistic and hope for another concert in Brisbane (which is just as easy (or easier?) for you to get to as Tasmanians to get to the mainland). I mean really, how many of those 700,000 people that live in the North are going to go see PJ in Cairns? You can fly to Brisbane for around $200!

All I'm saying is why concentrate so many concerts in the same area? Why not do one or two somewhere else and give even more people a chance to see them and appreciate them live???

And who knows how many of the 700,000 people would go see them. I personally think a LOT would and the concert would definitely sell out.

not meaning to offend but your last comment made me say this. there are no cities in tasmania... if youve seen hobart youd understand that.

im not saying that its cheaper to go to melbourne from hobart or whatever. but i dont get why you would get upset if pearl jam played a fourth show in sydney.. like as far as you and i are concerned it doesnt change anything does it...they might as well announce another date in the us but when they do that i dont get pissed off.. i just do not see how this is any different.


they can announce as many shows in woop woop as they want but the only one ill go to on top of what ive got tix for already would be in tassie. so hence why i made the remark of hey why not come to tassie.

i never said hey come to tassie instead of coming to townsville or rockhampton or whatever. just out of interest did you sign the newcastle petition. i mean newcastle is relatively close to sydney... but i think this has been touched on before.

If we actually come to consider what in reality is gonna happen pearl jam will never play in tassie or in townsville. so us saying stuff on a forum is just a bit of fun.

That's why I said "Australia is WAAAAAAY bigger than Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and a lot of people miss out because Australia is so spread out. I think city people forget that." I didn't mention Tasmania???

I'm not "upset"...although I do think it's stupid when they could have an "alright" concert compared to a fucking "awesome" concert somewhere else.

And of course I signed the Newcastle petition! I'm all for PJ going there -- although once again I do think that if they go there, it is a little disappointing that Newcastle is so close to the other concerts. But good on Newcastle if they get it! VERY happy for them!

All I'm trying to do is put an opinion across that it's a shame PJ are playing so many gigs in the same places. Maybe the point came across aggressive. My apologies. I think it would be cool to see:

2 x Sydney
2 x Melbourne
2 x Brisbane
2 x Adelaide
2 x Perth
1 or 2 x Somewhere else they've never been before up in north Queensland or northern Perth or Alice Springs or Darwin.

Is Point No 2 referring to me??? What the fuck? Can't I have an opinion as to where I think they should play a concert? Hmmmm.....I believe you just gave your opinion that they "should consider the Enmore or the Metro"?!?!?

Zig chiiilllll.

He/she wrote "2. I've avoided the board for two days because of the winging american bullshit posts. Fark! What do they expect from them?" I dont think thats aimed at you in anyway mate. I believe its about all the backlash/complaints/crap re Storytellers - at least thats how I interpreted it when I responded about it being embarassing.

Unless your secretly a yank?!?!?!?!

I was diving...

No can do chief. It's about 20' or so here. Bloody beautiful. Well a lot nicer than the last winter I had. This is laughable. Wouldn't mind heading back up your way soon. Dig it up there. What's with all the Ed and his politics bullshit I've been reading. Don't tell me he's begun talking about politics. Low and behold.

Christ. Just got booted out of the library for being in a chat room. Later.

The yanks went into a spin about the editing of storytellers/Ed talking too much time talking about politics/too many commercials/yada yada.

He he he Don't I feel like a dick, right now! I TOTALLY read that post on the other page wrong..... :eek: Sorry guys...

But I'm still backing my "share the next tour with people who never get tours" speech -- fuck that's a catchy title. I should go into advertising!

lol. I just read this. Relax y0.
Read the post again. I said Americans. I assumed your not a yank and it wasn't aimed at you.
It was all about this storytellers show, thing, program.

If it ever goes to air here, im not even going to bother, seriously. The Yanks have ruined it with too much procrastination about politics.

Seriously, some of the egos of some forumers seem to think that the band seriously owe them something, and that its still 1992! They dont. 10C membership doesn't instantly make you holy-than-thou. Its sickening, its embarrasing, and yeah.

PJ wouldn't play alice or smaller places anyway. IMO not enough people/proper venue that could hold them all.
