I know they were planning Fla at one point, but backed out in favor of Australia. (did the same thing in NYC).

Maybe they are holding off until closer to the elections - feel that they can make a difference maybe? Maybe there IS something to the red state / blue state crap.

i won't say how i know, but i know that the local amphitheater was holding open a date for pj for this year, but it got released.....

tom petty also cancelled his date at the same local amphitheater.....maybe a reschedule....

I'll sign this.

They should absolutely play the South, they always have....why not this time. Surely they will at some point for this album.

I hope they aren't planning to play together down here... will see them in Denver and don't need to see them again. Just want pure pearl jam.

y'all can do whatever you want, i guess, but i think pissing them off by cloggin their email with a bunch of spam is not going to be well-received at 10c headquarters.....

keeping this thread on the front page as much as possible will get their attention, imho. we know they hit the board. if they keep seeing it, it might come up in casual conversation around the 10c lunchtable....

I agree, they have lots to do with the normal business.
but just gets frustrating after a while. Sometimes you just want to shout though.

Two shows in Nashville, eh?

Tennessee deserves some love.


I'll settle for one show, though...

Hey, thanks for making the contact. In the end she does leave us with a little hope.

I don't think this tells us anything we don't already know (or do already know).

"nothing planned" = They won't announce anything until it is a firm plan - and plans can change quickly. We have seen a few areas (NYC, ALT & ORL) where they HAD booked a show and backed out. I guess tour planning is a stable as mercury.

We'll know, when we know. Until then, we could all hope for a spouse like that lucky guy from your linked thread. Or spend some big bucks.

I wonder what effect pearl jam fans' economic input is having on our economy? Hey, maybe we'll skew the figures this year.

At least she didn't rule out 2007.
That's somewhat hopeful.......

i just read this too, i really thought we might get some shows in the fall, oh well...cincy here i come!

dangerboy

ok...just had a crazy thought i want to bounce off of those who frequent this thread....

we've talked some about those who can't afford travel....those who wanted to wait and are now s.o.l., and about how those in the areas that are getting shows (specifically the northeast, and far west) will have time to save up for even more travel to come and compete for 10c tix in the south....

having read so many threads about seniority (which i think should stand) and maybe instituting a hometown preference for one show per tour....

ding! suddenly, i became aware that i think i support the hometown priority idea! let each member pick a hometown show, then any other shows they get are still by seniority, but after the hometowners distributed by seniority within that group....

of course, this has to come with the end of the commercial legal disclaimer that the hometown offer is available only to members who reside in states that have shows scheduled, or within some reasonable proximity if near state lines, a la memphis.....

so let the winter southern tour of 2007 be used to test the new hometown system. we'll be happy to wait until then...

seems like an even trade. we wait, they bonus us by giving us hometown preference. whaddya think?

I like your idea but I doubt they would do it though :(

dangerboy

you don't think the hometown preference thing is getting any action at the 10c ideas table? or you think they would wait til next tour to keep it even steven for everybody this tour?

That would be a good idea if anything comes to pass. I mean, after all, they would probably schedule 7 or 8 warmup shows between Boston and the NY, NJ, PA tri - state area anyway, right? So nobody gets left out in the cold.
Oh well, we can dream cant we?

pjalive21

i agree with this home state seniority ruling...

this tour is going to be a perfect example why.....here is why:::::

they arent coming to the rest of the midwest and south until 2007 (maybe)...as of now people with seniority are going to the east coast, north and west coast while those of us who either didnt have the money, were waiting for a hometown show, or the advanced notice was not enough to go to another show a little closer, so we sit here and wait till they come around here patiently.....by the time they come around here all the people who saw the band in early '06 are going to use their seniority and snag up all the tickets to the shows in our back yard because they are having PJ withdrawals....nothing wrong with that, but....

anyway keep in mind this isnt a complaint just rationale to what is becoming a problem to some people
