IN THE ROUND show removes all of the rail bully issues and would give us all a totally new PJ experience. Metallica has been doing it for years successfully and it is an amazing experience. Would love to hear more voices call for a new stage set rather than some new process for managing chaos.

I absolutely love U2 but fail to see why you need to see them multiple times a tour. I mean they literally play the same set and say the same lines every night. Too scripted for me. Just my two cents.

IDK if I could see PJ doing a Metallica/Muse style in-the-round production. Too much choreography

Interesting idea. I'd sign up for that. They play with fans behind them in the states anyway. But something about old dogs and new tricks, not getting hopes up.

Does anyone think the NHL playoffs starting on April 8 could cause some weird routing for the west dates? The combination of the OKC date, the Avs and Coyotes both on pace pace for home ice advantage in the first round and the 4/13 SD date is making me think something like this might be possible? I don't see PJ playing Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix since the only venues they've played since making the jump to arenas and sheds have been Ak-Chin Pavilion and Gila River Arena.

I’d be for that. Maybe for Last Kiss they could do that Kanye floating stage thing.

No they won’t. Generally venues will book a single date for a concert during NHL/NBA playoffs and the sports teams will schedule around that date.
Where there could be an issue is booking two dates in a row, which is what happened with Toronto in 2016. The only rumoured cities getting two shows are LA and Oakland, so depending on the venue in LA they might have an issue.

Denver will be Monday the 6th.
If the dates are set and booked, the NHL dates will have to work around them. It's happened before. I know Denver and OKC have bounced around on here, but it seems many believe Denver is on the 6th anyway, and that wouldn't matter. Phoenix I think will be the biggest issue. But the NHL also tends to play every other day so it's easy to figure out their schedule if it happens, both home and road. Las Vegas could be another if it is in play.

(New here, but not new to PJ - take this for what it's worth) Fall of '14, they zig-zagged the midwest a bunch because of ACL. OKC could be before or after Denver. Same with LA/SD.
I am getting a tattoo on my hand of my GA line position.
Are the list, the hand marks, and the people controlling this still a thing? Is it worth it to try and line up for GA if you’re not part of this strange system? Just curious if others have had negative experiences with lining up for GA early.
I heard it was a real problem last year at the Seattle stadium shows. Something about a van full of Aussies who have also been doing in at Wrigley. It was in one of the threads, so I think it's still a problem.
You should have heard them at Wrigley around the rain delay. They were clearing everyone out of the GA section and one of the alpha male types (a tall bald headed dude) was outwardly threatening to beat the fuck out of anyone who tried to take his spot when they allowed people back on the field. It felt very safe great to be around such scum. I get the annoyances, but we were all subject to the shitshow that was the 2nd Wrigley rain delay. But we all knew something like that was a risk the day of the show. That clown at the very least should have been removed from the stadium.
Not sure if he was Aussie or not, but he was front & center and seemed to be with a decent sized group of people, sooo...
I saw that dude, it was unbelievable how hard he was trying to be intimidating lol. Aside from that, It was very off putting listening to all the arguing BEFORE the delay...so we just hung back. It was kind of a bummer with it being my first non festival GA and my wife’s first GA at all. Not worth having yourself kicked out for someone trying to fight you. Sad reality is that even assholes listen to Pearl Jam, and their numbers seem to be growing in recent years.
I'm glad (but sad) someone else here witnessed that ass hat. It was my girlfriend and my 2nd time in GA. Hopefully it is better at an arena.

.. I absolutely love (this other band) who changes about ten original songs on the setlist nightly but fail to see why you need to see them multiple times a tour. I mean they literally play nine covers a show and shine white lights into the fan's eyes. And the singer says different lines every night. Lots of them. In between gulps of red wine. Not scripted enough for me. Just my two cents.

I never pegged you as a nickelback fan. Cool cool.
Close.
More of a Staind fan. At least they can pick a decent cover

Springsteen method is the best. There should also be an area like the heart (u2 tour) where you can get in if you are one of the first 500 or so. Finally, I do think long time club members who want GA should get access to a this area.

DPJ dropping the okc hint after a very slow week plus for updates and those live shots gave me a least a sense they are getting ready to release the hounds. I could be wrong. Usually am. Ask my SO.

All due respect to other giants u2 and Bruce, but they are a completely different animal from PJ.
Beware of the urban outdoorsmen this year when you line up for GA. They've become quite emboldened. Also, make sure to get your name on the fan run list as soon as you can day of. There are no rules other than get on the list.

Or... don't worry about it and walk in 30minutes before show

That’s what I always do & im usually 5-10 “rows” back & not annoyed or stressed out.
Yeah there’ll definitely be some awesome encounters with urban campers for folks crazy enough to wait in a line the night before. I’d suggest a small caliber plinker and to aim for the legs- you never know when you’ll get a bucket of warm diarrhea dumped on yer dome.

-my dad after hearing Not for You for the first time on SNL .
Hasn't been much of value in a long time. Please bring on the announcement.
Seriously? We have practically the full itinerary. Another new spring date provided yesterday.
And this thread provided links to the PJ socials hinting of an imminent announcement within the last 24 hours.
Until then we're killing time waiting for the forthcoming news this week.
