The drug aspect is a huge problem for me....sorry folks, but I can't stand being around weed and those smoking it. Plain old tobacco is bad enough for me. Being around either effects my health in a very negative fashion.

Being around a bunch of young kids who can't handle their alcohol is another serious downer. I could not stand it when I was a young kid, and my stance towards it hasn't changed as I have morphed into an old dude.

Going to a concert is about the music...pure and simple. I have found it difficult to enjoy the music while being pushed on all sides by drunk and/or stoned people, getting arms swung back in my face, burned by some asshole's cigarette, having noxious smoke blown in my face, listening to morons talk about their moronic lives at a volume to compete with the music, getting puked on by the stoner's girlfriend and avoiding frat boy fights.

im sorry but i find this to be funnier than all fucking hell.....

for 2 years you and tybird have been begging and pleading for a southern tour.....

now pearl jam may announce a show for tennessee in june.....

and neither you or tybird are going to go?????

and according to you .....bonnaroo is a festival show that doesnt count????

one festival show in tennessee with an extra 80,000 people there to see other bands and with no fan club tickets is not "playing the south". what if the only within 400 miles of chicago in the last 4 years was lollapalooza? you think people would be satisfied with that? people from minnesota to new york? what about the whiners who weren't satisfied with 8 shows within a couple hours drive of nyc, and petitioned for an msg show? was that funny?

Don't even waste your time or breath on this guy. PJ understands that they cheated us out of a bunch of good shows during their last tour and THEY WILL make it up to us. Anyone in their right mind knows that one festival in the south can not make up for that. I have a good feeling that they will include some Southern dates on their next tour- and they will be worth the wait.

Ty has a point. I enjoy a good party, but the excess that you have to deal with at General admission concerts/Festivals are not worth it.

... I usually hang around the fringe ... see nothing, but do enjoy the music... And, I would rather see a full concert that is dedicated to Pearl Jam and not just a snippet.

Besides, my husband is on a liver transplant list and we cannot leave the state for a while...and I won't go away without him now. Life is too fucking precious.

another thing to consider is the cost of tickets, I heard you can only buy a 4 day pass, no single day, thats gonna cost over $200, thats a little steep

that isn't too bad. but i could see how someone wouldn't want to drive that. i looked it up a few days ago. 14 hour drive for me. i know this show is in the south, but the south is a pretty huge fucking place. lol.

that is 50 bucks a day? how is that steep? its not just pj playing there. i just paid 150 for an ACL pass.

$200 for a book with pictures of posters is steep....

$200 for 4 days of music is reasonable.....

just my opinion....

I agree, I'm going to see PJ, but I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of other music as well.

Have they announced the ACL line-up yet?

No doubt. Not sure why people look at it like it's $200 to see PJ. I can't see many people buying a 4 day ticket to see one band. Then again if Roo's the only date maybe some will.

feck no. lol. they just want thier money 9 months in advanced. but when you live in the city, you go no matter who plays.

you are right dude, but I am sure PJ along with a few other bands will be the only bands I'm gonna want to see, unless of course Zepp and Tallica end up playing, then I will gladly shell out the $200

don't get me wrong, I'm all for festivals, its my one chance to see the band as close as possible since its GA, but I just wish they would come back to Charlotte cause seeing them play a venue in your home city is killer

just manchester tn with the zip code for the town (i googled it)

540 miles is too fucking far to drive, imho. it's a whole day in the car there and a whole day in the car back. totally unreasonable for someone to say i should be happy with it and to let it go now
