The band seems to have some issue with Key Arena now, has said some bad things about the Tacoma Dome and can't sell out the Rose Garden. I kinda get the sense that they won't play the Gorge next time around and it seems unlikely that they'd play the memorial coliseum, the amp at clark county, the white river or whatever arena is in Spokane, I can't say why, thats just my intuition. It was good enough for Neil, why not Ed and the boys?
Anyway, what do you guys think?

Everybody had a one line.....
Everybody misses Andy....
We'll be seeing him in no time.... Oh Yeah.....
We are Red, we are White, we are Danish Dynamite!
Odds of actually getting a ticket have nothing to do with your number, that's just if you get lucky and get one before they're sold out.

I. LOVE. YIELD.
Hey plenty of green on this side of the boarder no need to take it with you accross the line!
it would be nice if they came back for a couple of nites and played the chan centre. it was a great venue when ed played solo,nice acoustics.
the best would b to see them again at the commodore ballroom.what a nite it was!
mooncalf agreed" THe BANd
That place was one of the cooler i've ever seen a show at. And it was MMJ
On The Gorge - I am not sure why you think they will never play there again. They and the crowds over the 2005 and 2006 shows seemed to have a real good time. I bet we see them at the Gorge again if they are touring or playing in the summer time. I would put money on it. Summer time Washington state show would go to the Gorge again.
On White River - that place fucking blows!! I hope they never ever play that shitty venue. First off, it is on the rainy side of the mountains and the parking situation is ATROCIOUS!! Nope, I would rather them play The Gorge if in the summer, or inside of an arena in the off weather season.
On The Key Arena - Yeah, a lot of people seem to be backing away from the Key. Ament said in an interview that it is horribly managed and they (the Key management) are terrible to work with. i agree that they will probably never play the Key again. Sad, because it is a great venue for concerts and sports. Not a bad seat in the house. I have seen some amazing shows there over the years.
On Memorial Stadium - Pearl Jam played there for the YIELD tour in 1998 and it was great! I remember it well. I could see them playing there again if in the summer...but again, summertime reverts back to the Gorge in my opinion.
On The Rose Garden - You know that is in Portland, right? Who wants to go to Portland?
On the new Everett Arena - Yeah, I would be there. I would be happy if they played there.
I agree the Gorge will be the spot for summer tours for here on out, and I love it there. I have seen so many awesome shows there, but the boys gotta play in town. As for the T-Dome, I think the place only still stands because it holds more folks than the Key. It is still a cool spot, and I have many nostalgic memories of shows, and games there, but the quality does not compare. I think we will see another Key show next tour. Hell, the management might change their tone after they have no Sonics cash coming in.
Portland is always a cool show, but they can easily support their own. There is enough fan base in each town to each have a bad ass show. Plus we have geography to deal with. The 'east coasters' can see 4 shows in about a 3.5 hour radius. Depending on what time you leave Sea-town, that is how long it takes to get to Portland. I know they understand their base here and will give us a show soon.
To the border issue, I think it will get better as they are working quite a bit on the Olympics traffic and have made several improvements. I'd also recommend Nexus.
play the Gorge, i will be there
I wave to all my Friends... Yeah!
I think the Rose Garden doesn't sell out, because Portland show goer's are a little picky. If it's in arena, no one goes, Don't care who it is. I got an email from the promoter doing the NIN show this weekend and they're having a special ticket offer of $20 tickets. :eek: Since there are quite a few left over.
Overall the sound quality there sucks unless you're close, which is weird since that arena was supposedly designed with Acoustics in mind.
A. I never said they'd "never play there again". I just think that after two tours in a row they'll probably select a different venue (again, if you had read my comments, very uncommon for them to play the same venue more than two tours in a row). Plus we have no idea if the west coast dates will be in the summer on the next tour (although its likely that they would).
B. The parking situation isn't horrible at all if you park at the super mall in auburn and take the free shuttle. Few people are smart enough to look at the website and read that though. And its no shittier than many of the corporate amps they play on the east coast.
C. I didn't say Memorial Stadium, I said Memorial Coliseum. Either would be fine with me by the way.
Well I guess I must have imagined the three shows at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (capacity of 7k for concerts) in 2006.
I hate White River - for more reasons than their atrocious parking situation.
Sorry about the Memorial confusion; I had never heard of Memorial Coliseum in Portland and thought you meant Memorial Stadium in Seattle.
The way the stage setup is for PJ GM Place holds 21,000. an extra 1 in the back and 2 on the floor. Think about it, its about 18,165 for canucks, that is all sold plus the floor and standing room only. Last night Metallica in the round was an estimated 24.
