    no clue because Pearl Jam usually has larger GA than most bands

    Judging by the pics and St. Louis, I am guessing half or just a little less than half of the floor.
    Hearts and thoughts they fade....
    fade away...

    I am at peace with my lust.....for Eddie.

    the youtube video of St. Louis looked like the pit was full from front to back...is that correct or just the camera angle. In 2013, GA looked like it was only 3/4 full due to ppl crowding the front.

    I was in the 300 section looking down on the pit. I would say the back 1/3 of the pit was empty (because of people crowding forward as you said).

    So bummed I didn't get to meet up with you buddy...
    The St. Louis show was a bit of a cluster for us!!
    I had to go straight from the merch line to the GA line,
    so my ticket buddy could go pick up the tickets.
    By the time she got back, they were taking us into the building!
    We didn't even get to grab a bite to eat until after the show!!

    Eddie please play this for Rivers, always supporting the other thread, can't we get it all? I mean why not? 14 years is a long time and West Memphis is less than 10 miles away, playing Army Reserve too would have extra special meaning due to the co-author, a show to remember would be a most awesome tribute, I mean why not dedicate the whole show to the West Memphis 3? maybe it has never been done before, but after all they had to go through, if anyone deserves that kind of honor it is them, history happens Tuesday night

    I've used hammers made out of wood
    I have played games with pieces and rules..
    I've deciphered tricks at the bar...
    But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why...
    I've come up with riddles... and jokes about war...
    I've figured out numbers and what they're for...
    I've understood feelings.. and I've understood words...
    But how could you be taken away?...

    And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    With heavy breath,... awakened regrets...
    Back pages and days alone that could have been spent,
    Together... but we were... miles apar...t
    Every inch between us becomes light years now...
    No need to be void,... or save up on life...
    You got to spend it all.....

    And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
    It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
    Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
    We were but stones,... your light made us stars

    I will be throwing random shit up there, until everyone going to Memphis gets on board :) only 2 days left to the only show I am going to, sorry if anyone else thinks it is obnoxious, this time I seriously don't care, because I don't care when anyone else does it either, because we all love this band and sometimes we forget that, we should always try to be as nice and kind to each other as we can, if nothing else in the pursuit of just being better human beings, to understand we all, always have room for improvement and our own personal evolution is never done, I am stoned, and I saw an awesome movie and tomorrow I fly out to go see the concert on Tuesday, so I am on an extreme emotional high, usually I am just mellow happiness, oh yeah I had some caffeine too, well anyway, I love this band and cannot wait to meet so many of you in Memphis, Tuesday is going to be magical
