    That’s a conservative estimate.  Who is a hardcore side gig fan but not a main attraction fan?

    same goes for a true Ed solo show.  I can’t imagine hardcore fans of him and a guitar who don’t like the full band. 

    I just can’t think of who they are fans of if they are attending one of these shows if it’s not PJ, Glen maybe 🤔

    There are casual fans too don’t forget. Hey I know that guy, something to do on a Friday evening. Met some folks who picked up tickets outside.

    The dirty frank move is annoying. The more annoying part is that the tour dates are being held until after the Ed tour to maximize Eds theater sales. This is just prioritizing Eds fantasy project over pearl jam and a loyal fanbase that are trying to plan their summer around the return of their favorite band. Reminds me a lot of when Ed cutoff alcohol sales at the Ryman at 9 and continued to drink wine on stage all night. #notforyou 
    Yeah because no venue cuts off booze while the performers continue drinking. Entitled bitches this fan base is becoming. Fantasy project? Every member has a side band, did you just start listening during Covid?

    They can play whatever the hell they want to, just like PJ can. Good grief.

    Been chasing Dirty Frank for more than 50 shows…. Teased in Boston and scratched out at the Vic. Really disappointed this made its return at a non Pearl Jam show and not for Pearl Jam fans.  Would have also been great to get some of our rescheduled dates before a new band tour.  Honestly, not sure what’s going on here. 
    Maybe stop "chasing songs". Go listen to a bootleg with it on and stop treating it like some sport.

    Normally I agree but with the difficulty of tickets, small venue and cost etc that probably weeded a lot of the causal fans out.  A ton of hardcore fans were pissed at getting denied tickets judging by the boards at ticket confirmation day.  There are a lot of bands I would see if they were in town, if tickets are a hassle that’s usually when I pass.  I think these tickets definitely were not an easy get

    I just turned in my fan club number.  The nerve of Ed playing a song people have been chasing.  Unreal.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I'm sure the look of excitement on my face was legendary when PJ busted out Dirty Frank at the Gorge in '06 :)  It was f'ing awesome :)

    That could be on the low end. I'd say probably pretty close to 100%.

    I have burned all of my PJ items.  It may not have been the best idea to do in my apartment and environmentally, but such is the position I was put in when Ed played Dirty Frank with another band.

    I think Gremmie Out of Control, Sleeping By Myself and Sweet Lew are worse… but it’s right there. 

    I was at Ohana and witnessed Sweet Lew live. It was definitely amusing…. Better live song than recorded I’ll say.

    Jeff was sweet to sing, didn't require sexual favors or anything to twist his arm :)

    Who cares? It’s just a song 
    "Thou shalt not play songs I have not approved!"
    "Thou shalt not count EV songs in your PJ song stats!"
    So ridiculous.  I can't wait for Chicago and am desperately hoping Timeless Melody and Dirty Frank stay in the rotation.  This is the perfect lineup to play DF.  The way Chad hit the drums in the beginning was so reminiscent of Dave A.

    Dirty Frank is a fun song.  Funny lyrics.  Good 'ol days when they were okay wasting time on songs like that instead of talking about making music like it is a chore.

    Dirty Frank sounds like it was made for Chad to play on Drums. Looking forward to Newark even more now. Hoping for Believe You Me.....
