    This is a disgrace. Right now I feel like my face has been slapped. I have a few choice words for the people who set this Euro tour up and totally disregarded what the South has been requesting for ALMOST A FUCKING YEAR.

    Amen weenie. I say they should come to ATL and play exactly halfway between our houses. Even if it's in the middle of 400, lol. Seriously tho, it does suck that they aren't even giving us anything to go on. Just let us know SOMETHING!

    Quote:
    Pearl Jam will play 13 shows in Europe in June and will not, as has been claimed, appear at this summer's Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, Tenn. The band will play six headlining shows and appear at seven festivals, beginning June 8 in Lisbon. The trek runs through June 29 at Belgium's Werchter Festival.

    According to a spokesperson, the band, which toured extensively in 2006 in support of their self-titled debut for J Records, has no other shows scheduled for 2007. "Historically, there have been five years or so between our visits to Europe, so it's a treat to go back again so soon," says band manager Kelly Curtis.

    Is it time to give up everyone??

    Regarding the planned Orlando show, the word is, the southern tour this spring was pushed, again, to end of summer.

    You know what? - I think they've sold out. what happened to their righteous connection to the common man? They are part of the establishment they have fought so hard.
    They can play where they want and when they want - However, they do owe us communication. That is all.

    I'm off this message board for a while - I have things to do, a life to live. I am tired of waiting and watching.

    I TOTALLY understand!!!!

    I'm not signing any more petitions, planting any more trees, or begging on a message board any longer for a fucking rock concert, Josh!

    I'm happy for the fans in Europe, but this news just blows for us. SUCH a letdown......

    Is it my imagination or is PearlJam playing for the rich? To those folks who can afford to travel across country or overseas? what happend to the ties to the comman man/woman? Tour Packages they are offering now to Europe! Does anyone else see some duplicity in that?

    The tour package thing is mind boggling. Like they started a new business venture. WTF?

    If that's what ends up happening, then that's just plain wrong.




    I guess I'll have to move out of Florida if I ever want to see a Pearl Jam show. EVER.

    guys....just heard from Carter...

    Hey Matt

    In a simple answer: yup.
    Looks like the whole Northeast/southeast thing is going to be on 'hold'. Nothing else was really said. They've done this before - in November, they confirmed a show in Orlando with the arena and then backed out 2 days before the official press release.
    So, who knows when US is getting shows!?!
    If I hear otherwise I'll hit you up

  • Who said we actually had to have a Pearl Jam show to party?? If they’re not coming to us…we’ll have our own shin-dig!

    It’s the 2nd Annual (although it’s been more than a year) Atlanta Meet-Up! =) Mark your calendars now!!

    March 3rd, 2007 at the Wild Wings Café in Marietta, GA

    For now it’s dinner and drinks and our most favorite PJ tribute—TEN! =) Depending on the response, there may be an afternoon BBQ and even a post-show hotel party…woo! =) Any of you that have met me or Kyle know that having fun is our specialty, so this is a party that’s not to be missed! =)

    I can’t say enough good things about the guys from TEN. How can meeting up with other PJ fans, having lots of drinks and listening to PJ tunes be a bad time?? I saw these guys play in NYC to a crowd of over 600…but for some reason when they make the trek South only a handful show up. We need that passion here!! So this is our chance to come together and form our own little Southern community---one that can make some waves so that next tour we won’t be missed!!

    If you have questions or concerns feel free to e-mail me! Katrock79@aol.com
