The official come back to Chicago thread! Wrigley field was epic, but only so many 10c members were able to go. Please announce another Chicago date for the fall! Lets get the ball rolling. G0!

    I was unable to get tickets for Wrigley as well & I refused to pay a scalper. It would be great if there is a chance to add another Chicago show to the fall tour!
    I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again.

    Yeah, a lot of Midwesterners were shut out of Wrigley, and for those of us who can't afford to travel to the coasts, we don't get a tour this year.

    Please announce some Midwestern dates! :mrgreen:

    (And please don't wait another 4 years before coming back to Chicago!)

    I think they would be more likely to hit all around Chicago....Milwaukee, Indy, Cincy! Easier road trips for more people to travel.

    I wouldn't assume that, based on history, they won't go back to Chicago in 2014. Look at Buffalo; PJ waited 7 years to play here between each the 1st and 2nd times and the 2nd and 3rd times. Now they're coming back after only 3 so you never know. History Never Repeats, right? Errrmmmm....

    My opinion is Wrigley was the one midwest show. They pretty much play the coasts and Europe now.

    That would be sweet except for the fact it would be the only midwest show they do ever.

    I suspect if they play Wrigley ever again, it will be a multiple night gig...they could easily sell it out three times.

    I'll tell you what....I was at Wrigley and I'm glad I was. It was a very memorable night.

    But as far as show quality, not even having anything to do with Pearl Jam.....the views, the sound, the restrooms, the concessions, the outbound traffic! :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

    I'm not saying it's the best venue, but the vast majority of people who would attend a PJ show would still go back (or go for the first time), including me. And I was one of the poor miserable fuckers who walked for 2 hours and got back to my hotel at 4:30 in the morning. It was miserable. Yet I'd do it again, and again. My view was fine, and I just pissed in my diaper.

    I was surprised at how good the sound was. From my seats on the field it sounded great.

    I dunno what history everyone is referring to, but the last time an album was released they toured the US coasts in the fall, Australia in the US winter months and then back to the midwest in the spring. Yeah, they generally stick to the coasts for between album tours, but it's pretty likely that they'll wanna at least hit a few midwest cities in the spring.

    Personally, I'm hoping for a "shed" tour next summer. 20,000 seat outdoor ampitheaters. SPAC, Bethel, or BOTH in upstate NY, Great Woods in Mansfield, Jones Beach on Long Island, Northerly Island in Chicago, Red Rocks in Colorado, and the Gorge in Washington. Multiple nights in outdoor venues in the summer are awesome. Saw Phish at Northerly Island in Chicago the day after PJ and it was AWESOME. Beautiful skyline views, and great sound (not sure about the lawn area, but the GA floor section was excellent).

    Hopefully they have a proper tour in 2014 for the Midwest and make stops in Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Indy, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Columbus, etc.

    Australia/New Zealand in the winter, Midwest with a few other stops in the Spring/early summer, and then Europe during the later summer in 2014?
