    Very cool.

    The last time a similarly titled thread happened, someone said something to the effect of that would be cool for the Israeli fans, which was, you know, what the OP was going for. Then, somebody said that Pearl Jam might not do it for safety reasons. Next, someone said that Pearl Jam probably wouldn't/shouldn't do it for political reasons. Then, that last comment (and perhaps the one before it) was deemed antisemitic by someone who clearly didn't understand the difference between foreign policy (and safety concerns) and religion, which caused further debate. Finally and thankfully, it died out and somehow didn't get locked.

    Just so you know what you're in for.

    :corn:

    Hope y'all get a show. The kids in the video seem nice. :mrgreen:
    I SAW PEARL JAM

    Hope no debates will evolve here as our only wish (that later became our primary goal for the last couple of months) is to see our beloved band playing in our home court.

    This is all to it folks. Almost all of us saw PJ on their tours atleast once, and for a change, it'll be nice to host/have them here ;)

    These youtube videos are usually corny/lousy, but this one is great.

    Kudos to all the kids and music teacher...fantastic job.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs

    Kudos to those kids...maybe 2014!

    I have a great picture from the amphitheater that PJ (no eddie) played with Neil in Ceasaria in 95. Very cool place!

    Wow... talk about the communal and healing power of music. I have very strong feelings about Israel but I must admit that I was almost brought to tears watching that. I seriously got choked up watching how talented and passionate those kids are. I wish nothing but the best for them. What a beautiful video.
