Atlanta 2025

Fun Fact: Atlanta is only a 3 hour drive from Atlanta!

Well if you are going north metro Atlanta to south metro or vice versa, you might not be wrong depending on the traffic! 😂

I hate the Northside traffic. That is the only bonus of living in south bumfuck nowhere. I no longer have to deal with holy hell.

Okay, Pearl Jam! New Atlanta memory!

2003, Lakewood Amphitheater: This is post Bu$hleaguer troubles in upstate New York.

Ed notices during Porch that some interesting characters are in the crowd. So he invites up his friends George W., George W., George W., and his other friend George W. to see if he can get some support from the president. 4 dudes in George W masks all come on stage to hold up Ed while he lays on his back to sing out the last chorus of Porch! Pretty awesome! And no boos regarding the W masks and witty comments from Ed!

Also, Ed makes an awesome plea for more funding for teachers. LOVE IT!

Come on boys, come back in 2024!

one of my all-time favorite PJ moments

I just hope they don't play Lakewood when they return.  I'd still definitely go but it's my least favorite venue in our area.  Horrible traffic getting in and out and the area around it is awful. 

Isn’t there a prison across the street too?

Nice big US Penitentiary. Looks like it’s straight out of a movie. 

I always wonder if they can hear the shows lol

yeah, that's what I was thinking! I believe it's the same prison Al Capone was at before being moved to Alcatraz.

Nice! So jealous. Don’t have that one. Wanted it in that last mystery poster tube a few years back. Tried on eBay after missing it and it was way too much. Looks great!

What are the best places here for:

-Sub sandwich: Sub of Subs in Duluth. Tiny place. Great wings and sandwiches. My favorite is the bulgogi cheesesteak.

Burgers: Vortex is great, only 21 and up if you have kids though.  Other options are Farm Burger, Local 7 in Tucker, Ted’s Montana Ranch is actually not bad (get the bison burger). Go to the Collegiate in Gainesville. Old school 50s style burger joint. It’s about that old too.

Steak: hmm, not sure I’m the best to ask. Stony River on Medlock Bridge used to be great, Morton’s or Ruth Chris is always an option, otherwise Chops or Bones in Buckhead used to be good, just haven’t been in a long time. Also, Fogo de Chao (Brazilian style steakhouse, all you can eat, killer salad bar, not cheap!).

Pizza: Antico is a solid choice. Also, hit Gio’s Chicken right next door. You can bring the pizza over as well.
O4W in Duluth has killer Detroit style pizzas as well as a thin crust Grandma pie. Really good!
Family favorite is Shorty’s in Tucker. Wood fired pizzas, crazy combinations named for musicians. We absolutely love it.

Bbq: Fox Bros is legit good.
Das has great brisket.

for ribs, I love Fat Matt’s, plus you get a free blues concert on weekends.
Community BBQ in Decatur is good, great hot links, ribs, and Mac n cheese.
Also, Old Brick Pit BBq is old fashioned but really good.

Went to Local 7 in Tucker over the weekend.  Great food, thanks for the recommendation.  Also while I was there, they played Crazy Mary and some Temple of the Dog.

I lucked into that one on eBay about 12 years ago!

But here's my holy grail:

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it. Awesome music! Love getting tater tots with my burger and some buffalo sauce for dipping.

1998. Also at Lakewood.

I love the Peaches theme from the 2012 PJ Atlanta poster.  If we ever get another show, I hope the poster has a local theme.  Several great options to pick from. 

CarryTheZero

That peaches theme is a beauty. Yeah, another local theme would be great! The whole state has a rich musical history, so many scenes (Athens, hip hop) and artists to choose from! Not to mention history.

CarryTheZero

@Kevinman, I forgot to add Savage Pizza to the list down in Little Five Points. Good pizza and cool place (especially if you love comic books). They have a great bbq pizza with Fox Bros bbq on it.

If you are down there, hit up Wax N Facts and Criminal Records for your vinyl needs!

Here is one at the very end of St. Louis. Ed had hung a big hug on Jeff!

Come on boys, come back in 2024!

It was actually pre Bus$hleaguer troubles in New York.  Date of this Atlanta show was 4/19/03.  Uniondale, NY was not until 4/30/03.  It was more of post Bu$hleaguer troubles in Denver.  It was after the first US tour stop in Denver that the media made such a big deal about initially.  Anyway it was a great show but my 10C # was so bad at the time I was three rows from the back row of the large amphitheater.  I now get great seats with 10C and wondered what happened to all those people that were in front of me then.  I have now found out many are still fans and still go but they let their membership lapse at some point.

I remember the witty comment from ED.  "That's the first time there has been cocaine backstage at a Pearl Jam concert".
