We know that we're going for PJ, but who else is everyone interested to see? i mean honestly, to spend lets sayy $300 on only pearl jam when there are 70+ bands is just crazy. Personally i'm interested in:

allman bros
phil lesh and freinds (im just slowly getting into GD)
umphreys mcgee
dark star orchestra (saw them 3 times, great GD cover band)
my morning jacket
metallica (slightly)
robert plant

all of those bands except dark star i dont even really know, im just very interested in hearing it.

    make sure you go and see Sigur Ros. I was interested when i heard that pj was playing and pretty sure i was going. Then i found out Sigur Ros is playing and there is no way i'm missing that. Like i've said on this site, Sigur Ros and Pearl Jam at the same concert is a dream come true for me.

    There are a lot of bands that will be there that i like. I would be most interested in checking out
    pearl jam
    my morning jacket
    sigur ros
    mastodon
    metallica
    sword

    There are quite afew others i would want to see but i guess those are the big attractions for me

    I've actually talked myself out of it because many of the bands i want to see are probalby going to be touring this year and i could probalby catch almost all of thime on their own club tours for slightly more then going to the roo.

    I'm just not a fan of the camping out deal and i like to see bands in a small setting... well that and i can't get any of my buddies interested in going.

    I've been wanting to go for the past three years. There are easily 15 bands I can think of that I would like to see in addition to Pearl Jam. I'm psyched about discovering some new stuff too that I normally would never consider.

    Ummmm......

    Jack Johnson. Saw him a few years ago and it was amazing. Pretty excited about that. Wondering if he'll be joining PJ for a song or two?

    Robert Plant. Wondering the same thing.

    Allman Brothers.

    My Morning Jacket.

    Ben Folds.

    Metallica.

    The list goes on and on....

    I'm going there mainly because of Sigur Ros... Pearl Jam is just an added bonus :)
    If I could, think I would give in.

    I would go for the Drive-by Truckers before I would go for Pearl Jam. :D
