Key Arena in Seattle - 11 (12 incl Groundwork Benefit in 2001)

Hmm, the footsteps stat tracker has Key Arena down for 9 shows (including Groundworks)
1996
2000 x2
2001
2002 x2
2009 x2
2013

And it's missing the three shows in December 1993 when it was called the Seattle Center Arena or something like that. Same building, changed names.

Those three were at the Mercer arena which is at the Seattle Center Grounds but is a smaller different arena than Key Arena...I was at 2 of them

If we're talking shows on the grounds of Seattle Center, they also played the Mural Amphitheater in '91 & 2 shows at Memorial Stadium in 98...I was at both of the '98 shows.

It's pretty pathetic that the best band of this generation has only played 2 headlining shows at Red Rocks and 3 at The Gorge

Seriously weak

Agreed. We know how this band tours though.

More at the Gorge would be cool, but Red Rocks is a small venue. It only holds 10k people. I can see why acts that usually play NHL/NBA sized arenas don't play there often.

Of the generation of most (but not all) of us posting here.

Clarification: Pearl Jam is the best band of the past 25 years... and they have played America's best & beautiful venues only a handful of times... which is odd

But but but South Philly has 10 shows....


Dumbest banner ever.

coming from a NY hater.

I understand not playing Red Rocks in recent years due to its size and the crazy demand PJ generates for tickets. Not returning to the Gorge in the last decade though is strange.

I know the scenery is gorgeous but how is the sound at the gorge?

I dunno. It honestly seems like too much of a pain in the ass for me to ever go to. Camping in the middle of no where? I'll pass.

They have played 11 shows at Rod Laver Arena (AKA Flinders Park/Melbourne Park) in Melbourne. Not sure any venue will beat that for headline shows

Been to a few of those!

Fun topic. Wouldn't have guessed Melbourne but it makes sense.

Are there are any other venues to play in Melbourne?

In terms of size, after Rod Laver the next best option is the retractable roof Etihad Stadium which seats 55,000. They played there in 2009.

They played the Myer Music Bowl for one of their 95 shows.

Other possible options could be AAMI Park where they play Soccer and Rugby. Outdoor venue. Bigger than Rod Laver Arena but smaller than 55,000 Etihad. Inside the Etihad they have large boards with a variety of artists and sports that have been held there. There's a great shot of Eddie. They had around 45,000 for that gig!!

we rented a 2 bedroom condo for 3 nights for the Gorge shows, cost = $240. lmao
