I do not have venues, only cities and dates. I can (and have) only guessed Walnut Creek from 'being there in 00 and '03. I grew up in Durham and can't think of another suitable venue??
BCR Center I think it is called. Where the (NHL) Hurricanes play.

I just got home from work and wasn't able to check the board since lunch. Wow, what happy news! Ty I didn't notice any comments about the cities from you.... You and Daystar will at least make Atlanta won't you?
Atlanta=no problem....I have been taking a nap that's why you haven't heard from me. I would not mind visiting a city like Nashville either.

After Lolla. August. How about Cat's Cradle again? Like 1991.
Wow! Wouldn't that be something. A bit too small for them these days although I dream of a "secret show" there. The Smashing Pumpkins did it a few years ago.
Yeah, The Creek has always been the stop, especially in the summer. Was just curious with your mention of "alternative" places. The RBC Center in Raleigh is plenty big enough. Not sure what category that place would fall under. That is where NC State and the Hurricanes (hockey) play their games. Everything else in Raleigh is considerably smaller. Probably too small for PJ, especially if they don't play Charlotte (a bit of a surprise). The Ritz/Disco Rodeo is a great smaller place. Saw The Black Crowes there a couple of times, but once again, I think that is probably too small for PJ. Would be a great place for a "fan club only" show though.
Atlanta=no problem....I have been taking a nap that's why you haven't heard from me. I would not mind visiting a city like Nashville either.
Yeah, I was thinking Nashville too and wherever they play in NC. That would be a short day trip between venues. Same with Virginia. I am SO HOPING they play VA Bch Amphitheater but I'm afraid they'll play the convention center instead.... :(
I'm going to be mentally working on a potential design for T's. I was thinking about using a Woodpecker you said you were trying to spot one weekend - close to extinct I believe? Was it Pileated? The bird will be only one aspect of the design, what bird do you think best represents this thread?

Based on your description of the route...the southern shows would be after lolla and the NE shows would before...so they would be in late July? You don't have to answer that...just thought I would throw it out there.

I would rather PJ play Disco Rodeo, if they played Cat's Cradle I think someone would probobly die, that place only holds about 600, I saw Queens of the Stone Age at Disco and it was a kick ass venue! Good day everyone!
We should have a pre-show party at each stop for this thread.
Cool...Glad you'll come...you'll be set with drinks for week with our Southern Hospitality...and Northern (from us transplants) hospitality. Have a favorite drink? Perhaps a tailgate at one of the amphi shows.

Pearl Jam never said "tickets don't sell in the South". Tours don't sell in the South just like albums don't sell anymore with the advent of the Commodore 64. Other than Kenny Chesney, who else is selling? Tim and Faith aren't even playing in Tennessee - Canada is where they're headed. For some reason live music isn't drawing people out in the South at today's ticket prices (even PJ's prices). Tour sponsorship is hell to find.
BTW Grjammer, I really loved that skating rink in Grand Rapids. Ed said "this is the most uninteresting structure we've ever played in". I know you remember. The DeltaPlex I think?? Was a great show however.

I do know that economically, things are tuff for a lot of folks right now. The reasons are many. Some people just have to be satisfied to blow their cash on a huge TV and sit home and watch movies and other entertainment. The prices of tickets are out of sight for artists who, in my mind, are way overrated.
For example, we have a small amphitheater here in Atlanta called Chastain. Probably holds 5,000 at most. The big sell is tables and you can bring any food/booze you like. They came out with their summer schedule a couple of days ago. All the tickets are $95 to $150 per person. Steve Nicks is $110. $110!! Just incredible. Most of the other acts playing have careers that are just fond memories. Pro sports went the same route a few years back. Just my opinion...
Oh yeah, I think it was Ed who said it first (or maybe it was Howard Zinn) "there ain't gonna be any middle anymore"

I was there...and I'm sorry to say I've been to more than a few shows at the deltaplex...it is a terrible venue. I'll take pearl jam anywhere I can get them though. I wonder if they enjoyed the venue so much they might be returning at some point? The Van Andel Arena is much nicer.
I feel like I won an award or something.Like we win the Superbowl.I feel like giving a speech.I would like to thank everyone who has never lost the hope or faith that we would get our southern shows.I would like to give HUGH thanks to the following members first and fore most Gardenlover for starting this thread.Without you none of this would have happened.Tybird for beginning there since the beginning and keeping things rolling(a true leader).Dollpartz for begin the only one who showed up at my Pearl Jam fan meetup in Tampa in October(No Doubt! lol!)and for beginning so cool.Leathermandi another cool fan I would have never met if not for this thread.And Spalma someone who I have not met yet but I know is super cool and has alot of wisdom and is a super cool Mom to boot.And a Big Thank You to JTR who is the Man of the Hour in my books.Peace to all and see you at the shows!

OK, time for more beer, some basketball and some hockey.
Gonna post some lyrics from a band that brings out the haterade around here. Oh well, the song seems appropriate for today.
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
It's been over 10 years since Pearl Jam played our beautiful city of Charleston (my first show). It's about time they paid us a visit. After all, I visited their amazing city last year when I went to the Gorge, it's time to repay the favor. They could play at the Performing Arts Center, which wasn't built when they were here, but I'm saying if they really want to make it up to us, they could play a secret show at the Charleston Pour House. It's a great jam band venue with a killer cuban restaurant attached to it.

you ever been to the plex in north charleson? Not saying PJ could ever play there, its too small, but its the coolest fuckin venue, used to be a movie theater and they converted it into a concert hall, so as you are walking to the bar it feels like you are going to a movie, its like seeing a concert in a huge movie theater (minus the popcorn smell)
Man, there is SO much going on here......took forever to catch up!
Texas, I feel your pain and I really think you'll get a show. This is a "draft" so who knows what the final plan will be? I mean, you're almost a "whole nother country", right? That can't be ignored....
If the draft is correct, I'll mos def be in Raleigh, Atlanta and Nashville, maybe Florida, too. I think a meet-up in every spot is a must!! Damn I can't hardly wait.........
