Well instead of playing raliegh and charlotte why not do just one show? A couple down in Florida and Atlanta.
I mean they played nashville and birmingham last time which seemed to be places they did not have to play. Maybe they could just do the major cities.
:( I moved to atlatna so i could see more bands and now my favorite band is not touring here :(
Yep, that's the main reason I moved here too! And like everyone else, I'm frustrated. I did travel out west and saw them in Vegas and the Gorge, but there's nothing like doing a road trip in your own "neck of the woods" with your buds.
I keep going back to the comment that Kat made a while back...... (paraphrasing here......) don't get pissed off with me if nothing is being said now about the South and something comes around in the spring..... She didn't confirm, but she didn't deny a possibility for Spring '07.
For all we know, that could have been the plan all along and maybe the guys aren't aware of it. Now that they're with J records, they have a whole media machine behind them making lots of decisions. I also think that if they (10 Club) positively knew that they wouldn't tour the South, they would have said so allowing fans in the south to make determinations on their own about travelling to other cities.
But we're all just second guessing at this point since nothing definite has been said one way or the other. So, IMHO, it's too soon to get pissed off. Frustrated, yes.....pissed off, no.

yep, every time i see this, it makes me cringe. where is the love stone, where is the love? didn't we come out strong for you on the VFC tour, even though you played in some shithole rodeo arena out in the middle of nowhere? weren't we there for ya then? why wouldn't we be there for you now?
they don't need to come here and convert anyone, there are already tons of PJ fans in the south. WPB would definitely sell out, so would Orlando, Tampa, or Miami. so what gives? whats the story? i'm not sure that i'm buying the "we don't sell out arenas in the south" excuse. i love you guys, but come on, gimme some truth!

Okay, but what is "lately"? As far as I know, they haven't toured the South since 2003 - 3 years ago. Yes, they did the Vote for Change thing but that wasn't a tour. Maybe the "machine" behind J records is conducting market research or something to try to determine where they should book venues. That stuff takes a while to do (and I would imagine they would have waited until after Avocado was released) so perhaps that's why it was put off until spring 2007 to give the suits time to determine where would be the greatest likelihood of selling out. It's not like he said, "we're not going to tour the south". THAT would be definitive....

"So, you must really love Led Zeppelin. That’s the oldest shirt I’ve ever seen on someone who wasn’t a bum."
"Hey, if God didn’t want me to wear it so much, he wouldn’t have made them rock so hard."
On a less negative note. I found this while surfing the web. Thought it might be of interest for my fellow Carolina Jammers who were at the 98 Raleigh show. The article was actually a piece on Mudhoney who opened:
Raleigh, N.C.
The members of Mudhoney are sitting around a picnic table, the canopy of the hospitality tent shielding their sore heads from the strong Carolina sun. Vedder walks over, escorting the kids who got thrown out of the club last night. They seem more thrilled to see Mudhoney than to be hobnobbing with Pearl Jam.
Arm is very pleased to see that the Mudhoney dressing room is stocked with Sierra Nevada beer. Peters is refusing to wear his jersey tonight. A woman from Tannis Root, the T-shirt company that handles Mudhoney's merchandise, is trying to guilt him into wearing the shirt she designed. "The problem is," says Peters, "I still have a little pride left."
During Mudhoney's set, Gossard, Mike McCready and Matt Cameron (formerly of Soundgarden and now playing drums for Pearl Jam) watch from the side of the stage. Despite all his protest, Peters is wearing his jersey. The band turns in a tight yet joyless set. Once again, the reserved seating in front of the stage is nearly empty, illustrating the disconnect between Mudhoney and the Pearl Jam fans they're playing to more succinctly than the polite smattering of applause that greets the end of each song. Pearl Jam's music is tied to high-school and college memories, slow dances and car sex. Mudhoney's audience is - or, maybe more appropriately, was - record collectors, cranky cultists and self-righteous indie kids, the malingerers lurking beneath the valley of the underdog. Pearl Jam fans went to their prom; Mudhoney fans went to a kegger in the woods.
Back in the dressing room, the toilet overflows and Lukin is called in to do plumbing chores. One of Pearl Jam's staff is regaling Arm and Turner with stories about her days working for Axl Rose. They chortle with contempt as the dirty laundry list of backstage excess, misogyny, egomania and stupidity unfurls.
Onstage, Vedder is relaying the tale about the kids he inadvertently got kicked out at the Cat's Cradle, because "some celebrity asshole bought them a beer Tonight, they have backstage passes and a beer."
Mudhoney catches a ride on Pearl Jam's chartered luxury jet. All around the backstage area, the word "bonzo" is posted (as in "tonight, we bonzo"), meaning the minute the last note rings out, Pearl Jam is hustled to a series of vans that take the band directly to the airport where a plane is waiting on the tarmac. Arm is impressed that Michael Jackson once used the same plane. The Gloved One is the subject of sordid fascination for Arm. Last Christmas, Arm gave friends copies of the tawdry tell-all, I Was Michael Jackson's Lover.

Please play the South or more of the Midwest. While every city may not sell well, some of them do. You could please a lot of fans and see a nice profit.
...so I won't see anymore reference to playing the South in the message pit....and while you are at it, please give some serious thought to playing Alaska, too...
