    I've seen some pretty good bands so far this year.

    I've either seen or will see these bands so far

    Jeff Tweedy
    Wilco
    Arcade Fire
    Dinosaur Jr
    Tool
    Mastodon x2
    Smashing Pumpkins


    And this has been a light year of catching shows for me so far.

    I just thought of something.
    We all know they are gonna play the south, but what if they are saving Texas and other places skipped for like a 10- 20 date Vote for change tour in 2008? I really think this is what they might do, assuming that Lolla is really the only U.S. tour date, but then again this tour has been announced so strange nowadays. Anyways, Pj please play the South.

    I think that is pretty lame. I wish they did not need a political agenda to come to the south.

    From 91-2003 they did not need an agenda. Except to promote a new album or play for fans who love their music.

    Oh, I agree that it is totally lame trust me. I just came up with that because they skipped the entire south, and not just certain cities. The whole "we don't sell enough tickets" thing is pretty stupid too. If they really believe that they don't make enough down here, then I see them either doing some vfc type thing with multiple bands, or a co headlining tour. I really wish they would just play shows and not worry about the money. Bands like styx still tour constantly and never sell out shows, but always play anywhere. I hope we see them soon though regardless. If it is smaller venues then fine, but the only place that didn't sell well was Birmingham Alabama. If audience turn out is that big of a problem, then they don't have to play there. Pearl jam makes alot more money than most bands. Simply becaue they got smart and decided to release bootlegs cause they know those would sell. Many other bands tour religiously around, and make plenty of money and don't even sell boots.

    Yea I don't buy the "we can't make money in the South" excuse. It's just not the case. I guess we're just not high priority down here.

    look at genesis tour and the police how many shows are they playing in the south. Police doing 2 in fla and church hill downs but no hot atlanta or carolinas. Bands play for dough but I doubt that is why we got gyped. Hopefully when they do come south they will make us proud by doing a boston or seattle show with an acoustic set

    Thats all I ask for
