If PJ played a show like this, would it work?

:eek: Hell, i'd sell body parts to attend...

Just let me know where and when, and i'm there!

Would possibly be the best party on earth for any PJ fan/10c member... My vote goes to Better Man, 1/2 Full and Given to Fly being played

Would they do a cover or anything off Into The Wild, or is it exclusively PJ material only?

I think there could be a lot of different stuff, covers too! Maybe we could get the band stay for 2-3 days, if we get enough people, so it would be like a large scale PJ based bonnaroo of our own.. But the only band would of course be PJ, and if they want, they could have some special guests

Phish used to do 2-day festivals. They'd draw tens of thousands of people who would drive to these remots fields/abandoned bases and camp out for a long weekend. I think estimates put attendance at some of them at 80-100,000. I'd kill to see PJ do that.

I'd accept covers. Crown of Thorns especially. With Chloe Dancer in it though, too.


And it should be in europe. A general admission show, where 10C numbers don't matter. Bring the people together!

way to go...

Im sure a lot of us would be willing to participate in this, its not impossible.

And, I'd pay up to $150 to make this happen. I think if every active TC member sent $150 to the band with this request, then it would happen. I say lets start a petition, or a fundraiser of sorts, to make this happen.

Of course, PJ could send a portion of the proceeds to a special, needy charity.

Yeah, it could be a benefit concert too. I'm up for starting a petition.

Bump for attention

Well, first of all there is the issue that almost all venues in the country are implicated with organizations selling tickets, so this could be hard to implement. Also, there is something about a small venue that makes a show special.

I also don't know that the middle of the country would be most convenient for people anywhere. You mentioned international people, but I bet for most americans it is easier and less expensive to travel to NYC or LA than to Kansas . Anyway, all things considered... how many people are in tenclub? Active I mean... 50,000? I would say for a show in Kansas, 15,000 get tickets. A little more for one on either coast. I doubt more than 25,000 tickets would be sold.

Totally random idea, but just curious if you guys think it would work.

Let's say PJ decided they wanted to put on the craziest Pearl Jam show ever. They wanted it to be a fan club only show -- but with the guarantee that any 10-clubber who wants to go will have a spot (they each get to bring a date, of course).

So they choose a location somewhere in the middle of the country (say, Kansas -- sorry international people, you'd have to travel for this one!) and a venue large enough to hold a shitload of people (say, a football stadium).

They announce that they would hold a poll on their website of what songs their fans want them to play. The top 30-35 songs that we vote for will comprise the setlist (PJ gets to choose the order, of course).

They sell tickets through their fan club only, since this is technically a private show.




Now...it's a stretch, I know...but hypothetically, how many people do you think would attend this show? And would it without question be the greatest show (and party) of all time?

I was thinking about charity too, how cool would that be? I'd definitely be willing to pay up to 150 too. We should make a poll, how many of us here in the pit are actually interested about a project like this.

It should be in Europe.

Nar the best show would be my setlist not what everyone else votes on :P
And it would be in Melbourne... and I'd get to choose the venue.... my back yard?

yes.. definitely in Europe. I was thinking about Netherlands or Denmark.

And it doesnt have to be mega super big event necessarily, if we could get a core fan base to start up the whole thing and spread word and collect funds, it would start to make some sense

If it has to be truly memorable, that goes without saying

I don't know why I know this but I think in 2000 Korn had a poll on their website for the setlist each night. I forget exactly what it was, but I think the fans got to vote for 10 songs that would be up in the air on different nights. Pretty cool idea considering the band isn't cool at all

Nah, we want it in the UK.

But yeah, Holland would rule. I think Italy would be the best.
