    All I want is a yes or a no, So I can get tickets to the northern shows or wait. Again a yes or a no is fine. I dont care when, if its at the end of the tour or what. I just want to know if there are going to be some stops this tour in the south.

    We've got to keep this going if we're going to get their attention! Have you noticed the Official Please Play Texas thread? Guess they consider themselves a region all of their own. So here's my lunch time BUMP! FOR THE SOUTH (excluding Texas)

    I would love to see the outrage if their "world tour" was only played in Florida, Georgia, NC, SC, Texas, etc and they completely skipped NYC, Chicago, LA, etc. I could care less about the rumors of their frustration b/c shows were not sold out or several Southern states voted for GWB. But, that is nothing more than excuses.

    BTW Pearl Jam. I voted for Clinton boths times, Gore, and then Kerry. But, I really do not give a crap if that makes you smile or makes you frown. It is a matter of self opinion, not a so called rumor or reason to skip cities with thousands of fans that want to appluade you and sing along.[/quote]

    if the weather is even part of the issue....please note that we have indoor arenas and indoor bathrooms. we know it's the 21st century.....

    for example, tim mcgraw/faith hill is in the rbc center on june 9th....couldn't have faith all sweaty, now, could we?

    Yes, yes we can and should! She is not bad on the eyes. But back to the point, PLAY RALEIGH!!!!. You know, the home of the future Stanley Cup champs. The RBC is a fantastic place. If you can fill the grass at Walnut Creek, you can fill that place enough for a rockin' show.

    rbc center, even with floor seats, holds about 1500 - 2000 less people than the creek...

    but i agree, i'd rather see faith sweaty, too.....

    During hurricane season, indoor arenas don't mean squat. No one is going to drive thru a hurricane, or go to a venue with no electricity. You must not be familiar with hurricane season or hurricanes.

    Really? Did not know that. I thought it had about 19,000 seats which I thought was way more than you could get at Walnut Creek. You learn something new everyday!

    LOL. Yeah, Texas does consider themself to be their own country. Texas' thread should merge with the South's thread, but don't tell them that. There's no way they do one without the other. This should be a unified message. Right now, it's hard to read all the other threads about how awesome some shows are, with no Southern shows anywhere on the radar. Since my first show in Charlotte in 1995, I've paid for 10-12 more shows, dozens of bootlegs, the albums (including vinyl editions), posters, and miscellaneous apparel, so I've probably sent one or two grand to PJ. And I don't regret a dime of it. I love 'em, and want desperately for them to come South. I'd get a rush to last me for months if I had something to look forward to. Nothing compares to a live PJ show...

    I feel you man. I look at the photos from the tour and get eaten up inside. My only salvation is that I'm going to fly 3,000 miles to see them at the Gorge, for two nights. Then, next year, when they finally DO head south and southwest, I'm going to go to 7 or 8 shows if I can. About a month ago I read a post from someone in the NE who said that we southerners should just bite the bullet and travel somewhere to see them. I thought about it and decided he was right. It was the only way I was going to be able to stand hearing about this tour. Maybe you should do the same thing! Get tix for the third San Fran show or something. I can tell you from experience, it'll make you feel a whole lot better!

    i'm pretty familiar with hurricanes, i've lived here in north carolina for over 38 years and lived through several of them, even drove through one once.

    i was speaking more to the heat aspect of the south, rather than the hurricane aspect.

    the creek goes about 21000, the rbc center for concerts (mostly due to not using the sections directly behind the stage), runs about 19500..

    Officially signing the petition. New Orleans resident who doesn't expect a show there, but anything close would be great.

    haha, whats up with the hate man? I started the Texas thread!! It's not cuz I think we're our own country, cuz I don't!! Actually, given a choice, I'd probably live elsewhere, but you gotta play with the cards you're given.

    Anyway, I started a Texas thread, cuz Juli started a West Palm Beach thread. So, if Florida can get they're own thread, then Texas can too!!

    So, heres a BUMP for the WHOLE south.

    Oh, and another reason why Texas deserves its own thread is cuz its so fucking big and it takes hours among hours to go to a show in another state, even a southern one...Hell, just going from one city to another takes too fucking long.

    I didn't vote for Bush! I hope PJ is not mad at the south. I need them to come back! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......... Come Back Come Back.

    If they don't run through the south then I hope they go back to the studio and cut another album like this one, then tour. Then they have to show up somewhere down here.
    Take a look at my angel.
