This would be a no brainer for me. I saw my first show in Charleston earlier this month (Elton John) and really liked the venue.
At least no one is saying Huntington. Big Sandy Superstore Arena is an awful place to see a show.
Agreed, Big Sandy just isn't good IMO. I mean, if PJ played there I'd go. However, Charleston Civic Center is actually a pretty nice venue and I'd love it if PJ were to play there. That would be sweet!

Oh, no doubt... I'd go too. But the acoustics aren't good, and it just feels more like a high school gym to me with the layout of the seats.
I went to WVU and would love to see PJ in Mo'town. I'd probably have to start tailgating at 8 (after getting three hours of sleep) like it was a Mountaineer football game.

I've seen PJ all over the place but never in my home state. They definitely need to come to WV. Morgantown would also be a good option. Good college crowd (think Penn St 03). Not far from Pittsburgh, etc. Make it happen.

Just like the good old days...didn't go to WVU but spent much of my free time during college in Morgantown...tailgating with very little sleep. Good times were had. (I'm hoping for Charleston, but Morgantown is my second choice for a WV show...I wouldn't get too upset if WV got two shows... )

Thanks! I appreciate the positive vibes...in the meantime you enjoy the well-deserved MN show.
Morgantown would be the shit. Agree with the college town idea. I was at state college. But I bet the arena won't be dry like state college! I'm in and so is everyone else that's from Pittsburgh !

I think there are beer sales at the WVU Coliseum. And, I think that Mo-town would be a great location for a PJ show.
That said, I think Charleston (WV) would also be a fantastic smaller city for PJ and the fans to visit/enjoy.
As I've mentioned, either location works for me...but Charleston would be my first choice.
That's right...my MB is coming today and I'm hoping for a Pittsburg(h) Missing Link poster. Have I mentioned that I think Charleston, WEST VIRGINIA, would be a great "small town" for a Pearl Jam show in the future?

Speaking of West Virginia.... One of my buddies at work is a big WVU football fan which motivated me to snap this photo at the pool while I was on vacation in Disney last month.

I have a shirt that has a picture of a couch and says, "Wanna burn one? Morgantown, WV" and that is what I will wear to this show, regardless of where in WV it is.

Buffett was good...and drunk...sound wasn't great...asshats behind me were obnoxious...tailgating was solid...all in all a fun, long night... Now, back to the task at hand...looking for some PJ in WV!!

Props to Stockholm for what on paper appears to have been one hell of a show (a similar setlist for Charleston would be just fine)!
Looking for some more folks to jump on board this thread!!!
Goodnight!
