edited March 2008 in The Porch
I got an e-mail update tonight from the American Airlines Arena stating that the lineup for the 2008 season at the old Smirnoff Center includes Pearl Jam.
WOO HOO! Texas is getting AT LEAST one show! Now for the tickets.... 10C?

    Well, I'm thinking they wouldn't have sent it out as a e-mail blast if it wasn't for real. Here's what was in the message....

    SUPERPAGES.COMCENTER

    Superpages.com Center (formerly Smirnoff Music Centre) season tickets are now available through American Airlines Center. All ticket packages include guaranteed seats for all shows, VIP parking, club access and more. Over 30 shows are scheduled or pending for the 2008 season including Rush, Radiohead, The Police, Steve Miller Band, Chicago, Doobie Bros., Boston, Toby Keith, Santana, and Pearl Jam!

    I've seen that same e-mail posted on other threads on this site. Here's hoping Texas can get some love!

    And by the way, I moved here 6 months ago and you know what? Austin is a freaking OASIS period! I love it here.

    It is indeed. I've been around Austin for 10 years now and can't get enough of it, even if they keep putting condos up every other day. It's the best place in Texas, peronal bias notwithstanding.

    Forget thinking just Texas, I've lived in Richmond VA, Atlanta, am from Miami originally, and lived in Seattle as well. Austin is the best place I've ever lived. I'm planning on staying for the duration....

    I wonder if these shows will be with Alice in Chains like a station from Florida has mentioned according to a few posters here? PJ at Smirnoff will be great, hopefully they play Houston too. I've got to go to more than one show this time around.

    You almost have 2 look at it that the south will get some love this year. It's almost a no brainer. Especially with the election this year. I'm sorry Europe but you have a political year in the "States" so PJ is staying home this year.

    No, that's in Austin, but if they announce a show in Austin or a show in Dallas in Sep. then it probably means they will play ACL too.
    My god its been so long, never dreamed we'd return.

    meh.

    they may still write political songs, but i think they're (as a whole) out of trying to influence politics.
    they haven't exactly had very good experience with it, after all.

    i might have missed it (not sarcastic), but ed wasn't involved, was he?
    if he's not there...well, then i don't consider that the 'band as a whole'

    i'm not saying he won't vote for barack, i'm just saying as a whole, they might not be truly be trying to influence anything. it's not like their views to their fans would be anything new.
    and to those who aren't PJ fans, PJ isn't exactly on a publicity kick to bring new people to PJ.

    don't think i'm too far off base with my thought. could be wrong, though.

    I would think that if they play dallas and austin, they would be inclined to play houston and / or san antonio as well. We could all wish for the Texas quadruple i guess.

    But considering other posts about possible NE dates in June and July, we'll have to wait and see about all this.

    Yeah, that would be awesome - got my tic a couple of weeks ago.

    Did you heard the rumor that Ed was going to be at Stubb's with Tom Morello and Serg Tankiain during SXSW? It was actually on the 6 o'clock news!

    I was at that show, and they said he was coming but had a family emergency. Still a great show.

    Bring on the fucking tweet! This is killing me!
  • My Corduroy JacketMy Corduroy Jacket Posts: 571
    I thought that was going to happen because Body of War was premiering, but i think i remember seeing in another thread that Ed was taking care of an ailing family member during the same time(?)

    Didn't know it made the news though. I was on vacation anyway so that would have really sucked if I missed that.

    There are also strong rumors that Neil Young will be a ACL festival. Could you imagine? A solo show by Ed, Neil Young, and a Pearl Jam set!

    Well guys, shafted again on this leg of the tour, but if the dates listed below me are accurate (that is, Pearl Jam does schedule for that day, I don't doubt his credibility) then it can pretty much be assumed that they will play ACL as well, since it starts the day after the date listed.
    My god its been so long, never dreamed we'd return.
