    yup, both shows... and the sign said "play the south". Ed saw it. we still talk about his antics on the stage. Then he came back to take a bow... sigh. certainly a highlight for me.

    I had wanted to get it to Mike the first night (we were 2nd row) but it was crazy... by the 4th song I had a kid crawling up my back and my husband was being pushed back - so we got out of the pit (ok, we are old :))
    2nd night we were 1st tier side stage -best seats ever had. Perhaps the best show I've seen so far.

    We have friends coming in from the Kansas for the fla shows too... they have killer 10c number. Am going to see if they can get the sign onto the stage. They should be close enough.

    hey man, thanks for reminding me and letting me re-live the moment yet again.

    I can remember reading a review of that Lisbon show and someone commented on that very sign. It struck me as out-of-place, but also like someone was representing me in Portugal.

    Glad to know it was you. Thanks for your diligence! ;)

    Of course this is assuming I counted correctly. So where should we meet up in Tampa? Never too early to start talking about it.

    You guys have been begging them to play the Southeast, and if I lived there I'd be pissed about last tour too..and I am SOO glad that you guys are getting shows this time around.

    but...and please don't flame me for saying this...
    have you noticed that the Southeastern shows that have gone on pre-sale did not sell out yet 2 days later, while the more northern venues did? I am sure it's not Pearl Jam saying "screw the South" but more likely...how cost effective is it to plan multiple shows if even the die-hard fans aren't coming out in droves to buy tickets?

    You all better get your friends to buy out those venues if you wanna see more Southern dates.

    No I kinda agree with you to an extent. If they were playing Atlanta and say Nashville...I'd be going to 3 shows instead of just Columbia.

    Hello hello. I haven't checked in since the stunner last week. I am beginning the tour at WPB. Who else? What can we get into pre-show? Where? What time? Hope to meet many on this the "Greatest Thread On Earth".

    I do have the vacation time. My problem is I have a wedding the saturday before that is 4+ hours away then I'm going to Columbia the following week. I'm also going to Destin, Fl is 2 weeks. So adding Tampa starts getting expensive all in a short period of time.

    It is killing me though. I'm hoping for some July dates. I just need some time to recover $$ wise.

    i kind of agree, too, but look at the population figures within 100 miles of the venues. nyc has more people by itself than north carolina. of course shows with that many people around them sill sell out. i still contend (as have others) that shows in places more like dallas, atlanta, or charlotte would sell better.

    i won't go so far as to say that maybe they chose out of the way places on purpose so they'd have evidence to back up their predisposed theories....

    ps i will go so far as to say that i'm taking some twisted pleasure in seeing the northeast natives get restless over something. they've been taken good care of for a long time now. interesting to see them upset and feeling disenfranchised...
