    Eddie might dedicate both shows @ Wrigley to the Cubs.

    The energy from both the band and crowd could inspire the Cubbies to go all the way for the first time in over 100 years. Think about that. There can't be anyone left alive who remembers the last time that happened.

    Pearl Jam & their fans could be responsible for that happening. YOU could be responsible for the Cubs winning the World Series.

    Who doesn't want to be at the two concerts that could break the curse of the billy goat?

    I know I want to be there.

    Ok then let's talk music in the present time. Chicago has proven that concerts at Wrigley can go well past midnight. Fenway has a strict 11pm curfew. Eddie sings with Bruce almost every time Bruce is in Chicago. Eddie never sings with Bruce in Boston. And Dave Growl did show on Sonic Highways about how awesome Chicago is. Not a mention of Boston at all. Chicago is the way to go. It's cheaper, cleaner, and friendlier than Boston.

    This guy knows what's up

    Eddie's gonna perform a new song about the curse called Billy Goat at Wrigley. It will actually just be Dirty Frank with different lyrics, it's gonna be awesome. (I know a guy who knows Eddie's brother)

    I lived north of Chicago for like 6 months and frequented the city often. It was charming and amazing. I have been back several times since. Highly recommended.

    40,000 Chicagoans!? When I went to the United Center shows in 2009 I barely heard 40 Chicagoans in that venue. Ironic that the first show was dedicated to a recently passed friend of Jeff's - the whole venue must've known, as they were deathly silent!

    It sounds like wrigley and femway both suck. Maybe they should replace those four shows with four more at msg!

    Seems reasonable to me.

    At Wrigley, a fan will grab the ball from you and ruin your shot at the World Series...
