In all seriousness...what the hail when it comes to south Florida? It's been 6 years since the band I love so much has been down here. I'd be better off living in Buenos Aires. Give us a break already. been too long.

    Could be Minneapolis/St. Paul. We haven't had a PJ shown in over 8 years, and those they opened for Petty. You have to go back 11 years since they played here as headliners.

    i feel you st. paul. my only defense is that it takes 6 hours just to drive out of the state from here, so traveling to a show is tough too... no bugs in the winter, and gators are super-cool.

    Maybe PJ will discover Luna Rex and have that most excellent Southern FL band open for them down there!

    This is hilarious. Do people really think they HATE a specific area of a specific state? C'mon

    What about the great state of Maine?!?! No shows since 1996.

    For shame, Pearl Jam. For shame!

    isn't Maine pretty darn close to Boston?
    and for the West Virginians - weren't there 2013 shows in Pittsburgh and Charlottesville?
    I know it's hard to be forgotten, but you've had shows within reasonable driving distances I'd think

    Pretty sure Houston's on that list.

    I mean, Ed's got a sister here, and they still elect to play all their shows in this state in smaller cities.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I've heard from an inside source they really don't like the south because they don't sold out like in the North East. which is understandable, but c'mon!

    Right, it is either about money or music.
