Yeah I would doubt they play 45 mins but hey, if it it that, it will be a fun 45 minutes. This is our only shot to see them this year in the US and we get what we get. No point griping, I am sure that they would prefer to blow the shit out of Central Park and put on a classic.

right on, man.
I will be there either way. hope to run into you at some point.

I hear you. But 4 posters, a 5 day pop up shop, and rumors of a 1:40 set all set my hopes very high. So hearing 45 min, naturally was a little disappointing

Good point, 4 posters for a 45 minute show is weird. I just wish they were playing more as we all do, so am disappointed let down in that regard; but it is what it is.

If anyone is able to proxy a Don Pendleton poster for me, I'd be happy to PP cost of poster, tube, and shipping. Would love to get this to put on the wall with my Brooklyns.

PM me if you can help.

Thank you.

That's good then but I thought it said 10pm somewhere.

The city's have a 11pm curfew it was the same for Mia in philly. 9:15 -11 they are the closer don't panic.

Thanks, I was a bit panicked

Global Citizen's website says the show will end at 10, which it has in the past. I don't remember the inaugural year (Neil) going til 11. Hopefully we still get our 1 hr 40 min set and that 9:15 start time is just delayed. Would definitely be a bummer if it was only 45 minutes but hey--free PJ. Hard to complain either way.

The only way Pearl jam could play a 14-15 song set in 45 mins if if they played nothing but fast songs:
Go
Breakerfall
mym
spin the black circle
hail hail
Fixer
Wws
Life wasted
Comotose
Severed hand
Got some
Gods dice
Animal
Last exit
Closer: Yellow leadbetter

Most sets from headliners are 14-15 songs at GCF. No way a show likes this happens this has Zero hits. Pearl jam is not going on national TV and not playing hits. And for you guys to think for a second his preaching ass isint talking for 10+ mins you guys are crazy! That's my case for a 2 hour show. Just like Mia that show was dope.

Its an event!! looking forward to enjoying the entire experience. And yes one of the faithful since 1991 but never been to a festival, so super excited. And let's hope they are right about the weather.

Yeah everything I've read says that Central Park has a hard curfew for concerts of 10PM.

Even if PJ didn't care and would be willing to pay the fine, if that's even possible, GC probably wouldn't want the bad blood between them and the city/park officials. I can only assume GC has plans to do another concert next year, so they wouldn't want to do anything to cause problems down the road.

That being said I hope you guys are right. Somehow. But I'm having a hard time putting stock in the idea.

The event starts at 4 and ends at 10. so six hours of speeches and music. With Coldplay saying they will play a few songs (30 min?), ed sheeran, Beyonce and PJ get longer sets. Saw Common and Tori Kelly were just added. Here's an idea:

Coldplay 4-430
Host/speech 430-440
Common 440-510
Host speech 510-520
Tori Kelly 520-550
Host speech 550-600
Ed Sheeran 600-6:50
Host Speech 650-700
Beyonce 700-8:10
Host Speech 8:10-8:20
PJ 8:20-10p (with Bono for RITFW)
