Hey Pearl Jam, there's a city called Detroit...

Sexy2aFault

If we are bumping the thread, how about Ann Arbor, never seen a show there, but everyone raves about shows in Ann Arbor. Only an hour from Detroit, close to Lansing and the West side like K-zoo and Grand Rapids could make a relatively small trip to see the show. They did the Chrysler in 94 I think, it could work again.

Sian-of-the-dead

yes, there are also cities called 'London', 'Paris', 'Madrid', 'Dublin', 'Lisbon'... cities that AREN'T on the SAME LAND MASS as the upcoming tour... :rolleyes:

Ann Arbor would totally work for me as I live here currently. And it's still easy access for Canadians and people in Ohio and Indiana.

I saw my FIRST Pearl Jam show here in A2 in 1994 at Crisler Arena (I'm going to see the Daila Lama there in April)... it would be orgasmic to see them play here again.

Wow, you seen PJ in 94 at the Chrysler? I am in awe. That must have been insane with their energy from that era, GA on the floor. Give us a review sir.

Oh my Jesus, son, here's a story for you...

I was a second year student at Univ of Michigan (93-96), I was at work in the cafeteria when I heard that PJ tickets went on sale that day, and sold out that same day. I cried like a baby cuz I missed it. Then a few weeks later, a girl was selling her $25 PJ concert ticket for $60 - I didn't complain about the 110% 1994 price hike, I just wanted to go. I got the nosebleed ticket and was in Jammer heaven to attend in March 1994 -

Got hit by a car two days before said concert, but thankfully it was just soft tissue injury and I had a limp and a scraped up face. Fuck it, I was ALIVE and I was going to see Pearl Jam starring Eddie Vedder.

Concert came, the whole campus was pretty much dressed in plaid. We walked to Crisler, I separated from my group and sat way up a the stop, high on tylenol to dull the pain from the car crash.

I wish I had a boot for Ann Arbor 1994 because I still have 'Indifference' ringing in my head as I saw a drunk ass and kinda of angry Eddie put on a brilliant performance. Needless to say, I knew that this was a band that I would follow to my grave. We really just rocked out and since this was their second tour for Ten/Vs, the concert didn't last as long as they do now. I couldn't jump up and down due to the pain I was in, but I did my best and what stands out to me was just how serious and somber Eddie was.

Several points during the show, he just walked in circles and drinking beer or wine - I think the newfound fame and attention was freaking him out, so he was in his own world onstage.

I left the show in a haze of like 'I saw a band that will be a phenomenon', they went on to be one of the greatest bands on the planet...

I'm so grateful to have been there, now if only I had a boot from that show.



btw, I'm a girl - Simone.

I wouldn't mind a show in Lansing. That's a pretty fair drive for west and east michigan, and not too bad for indiana and ohio or canada for that matter.

See PJ, middle is good, as in middle of the country

I agree, you always hear talk about NYC or San Fran or something, but let's talk about Michigan.

So, you hear Van Halen is having their final show ever at the Van Andel? :eek:

Good. Foo Fighters at the Van Andel in July. I don't dig their albums anymore, too bland, but their live show is pretty rockin'.

I have heard both the Foo Fighter and the RHCP rave about the Van Andel and the crowds. PJ seems to like GR too, as they have played two solid shows. So hopefully word gets out with the bands you know.

I'm going to be pm'ing some of you Michigan folks, esp those who were at Crisler in '94.



BTW, anyone going to this Saturday's Hash Bash?

Why not play in Indy then, the "Crossroads of America". We are in the middle. Ha!

I doubt they will play here again since the last time they played people were leaving by the hundreds during the ledbetter encore prompting Eddie to change the lyrics to "Look at all these pussies leaving early. Fuck You. They're oh so responsible showing up for work monday morning to work in accounting." Then the whole band did a bow kind of like," Well, so long. We are not coming back." Oh well:)

Christ on a cracker! I didn't know that happened.

That was rude of the audience to leave in droves, and kudos to PJ for calling them on it and not visiting Indy since then. Ha!


BTW, PJ COME TO DETROIT ROCK CITY, WE DON'T ROLL LIKE THAT.

Yeah, some of us do. Not me, but people leaving early has happened to Detroit, in fact in 06, the Palace (which holds 23,000) only sold about 15,000 for PJ. I was dissapointed with Detroit in 06. Granted Auburn Hills is hardly Detroit, but still. That is why I say either play Detroit proper, or play Ann Arbor,GR or Lansing this time around. The Palace has grown stale.

Well, PJ played Detroit on a Monday night (I saw them in Cleveland the previous Saturday night in '06), and the Palace is a hike for most people - that's why I hate it there, just like Pine Knob.

PJ need to play Detroit, Michigan - such a show would be a complete sell out because it's in Detroit and closer for Canadians and Ohioans.
