‘The South’ complex

circlesdown

Being from the Dallas area, when I’m waiting for a show I pretty much always wonder if bands are having to fight through it when they hit this stretch of their tour.  Especially with this PJ tour, they will have played to a bunch of awesome crowds in great cities throughout Europe, then their usual big northeast cities, MSG on 9/11, then entering their final stretch with 3 nights in a row with 1 night off before rolling in to Oklahoma, their regional one-stop so they don’t even have to come to Dallas.  I usually wonder how much fuel is gonna be in their tank, do they hate it down here, do they think this is lame part of the tour, are there here out of obligation (or, ‘ah-ba-li-ga-SHUN’), etc.  I feel like this is where the exhaustion could really set in and they’ll be ready for this tour to be over.  Honestly I’m not really worried about them putting on a good show (they were fine in Tulsa last time).  This is weird, but it’s more about, like I want them to like coming here, or that regardless of where they are, when it’s showtime they’re happy to be playing here.  Ya know?

we (the liberals) know that Texas is filled with backwards people but you are our people and we love you.  we just hoping you will catch up to our philosophies.

And there’s that part.

The second last show of a tour is always the best.  That’s OKC.

Every show is indistinguishable from every other show this tour.  All great, but no standouts anymore.

Backwards people huh? Your philosophies huh? How's the economy working for you? Texas is just fine WITHOUT you. We love PJ here, but didn't downgrade anyone like you did.

Cmon. That’s not a nice  thing  to say.   Backwards people?  I Thought liberals were about unity and acceptance.

But yea.  I feel like pearl jam needs to play more shows in the south. It’s ok if the crowd has different political views than ed.  

I’m sure matt Jeff stone or mike have some conservative  views on some things as well.

Oh for fuck’s sake, dude.

Yeah, that’s a pretty shitty thing to say when Texas has more liberals in it than any state but California. We just have more rural areas than any other state as well. Plus, gerrymandering.
