    What happens in Fresno stays in Fresno.

    Seriously, Fresno is such a shit hole that when you ask people who live here what’s so great about it and their answer always is the same. 

    “You’re like a hour and a half from the mountains and 2.5 hours to the beach.”

    The best thing about this place is the road trips you have to take to leave it. Wow. We are lucky to live here. 

    I guess now we can say. Well Pearl Jam played here twice and only 22 years between shows. We are lucky. Hail hail. 
    This is why I never talk shit about Fresno or the people who live there. They go through enough as it is

    Some people know the tracks by album better than I do but on a quick glance I don’t think they’ve played any Riot Act songs so far on the tour.  I’ve previously thrown out a full RA album prediction for Fresno.  Sets up nicely doesn’t it. Why not? Moline 2.0.

    Maybe Ed got angry at Oak2 because he remembered Fresno is next. 😆 
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    When exactly would they have rehearsed this?  The drummer is in quarantine.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Recommendations on a good hang spot/brewery/etc for Sunday night? A buddy and I fly in tomorrow and have never been to Fresno. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    No Riot Act or Avocado through 6 shows. Crazy.

    I  plan on going to Doghouse Grill tonight. It is next to the venue and the world famous University Inn. 
  • pearljammr78pearljammr78 Posts: 1,613
    Doghouse is a cool sports bar/college bar. Lots of breweries in town. Mad Duck is by theater across street from venue. Tioga Sequoia downtown is a fun hang with good beers. I don’t drink any longer or I would know more off hand. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    The total lunar eclipse of the Blood Moon tonight portends Pearl Jam in Fresno tomorrow. 

    It was always Fresno. It could only ever be Fresno.

    Reason could be that Matt Cameron is most likely out, and people may not want to see PJ without him…

    The Oakland shows were excellent.  Still really pissed I paid 4 times the price of much better seats previously shown as sold before Ticketbastard released them but still great.  The dude with the beard that replaced Matt was excellent.   

    I stupidly bought two premium seats for Fresno. When I saw available tickets for a Pearl Jam show under $250 I didn’t think.  Immediately bought one, then upgraded to slightly better thinking I’d be able to resell.  Neither ticket great. Much better ones released after of course.  Very frustrating.  Especially since now I’m not even going to Fresno.  For those that go, hope it’s a great show.  Even if Matt is still out, the subs did a great job.

    My hometown show is tomorrow! Let’s fucking do this FRESNO!!!!

    If you’re here from out of town hope you have a good time, it’s not nearly as bad as people make it out to be, enjoy!! 
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.

    Our rental cars got broken into TWICE in 4 days in Oakland. Fresno can’t be as bad as this shithole.

    Fresno is better than Coalinga. 🤷‍♂️ 
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    @given2fly23 definitely going to get insurance on my rental this trip. That blows.

     Getting on a flight to Vegas. Going ham tonight and driving to Fresno tomorrow. Downloaded a bunch of bootlegs on my phone for the flight and drive through the desert. Oh hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in Fresno!!!!
