I think there may be a VFC-style tour this fall, but I'm not convinced it will include Pearl Jam.

The Dead, on the other hand, seem to be primed and ready to go out in support of Obama. Neil Young comes to mind, too, considering his recent appearances on Letterman and Charlie Rose.

Going to state ahead of time this is an OLD link but after reading this thread I signed up and it did add me to Move On mailing list. If they do a vote for change again this year it might be helpful.

I have gotten an email about every other day from them since signing up.

I am hopeful for VFC '08. I saw the boys in St Louis in 04 and it was awesome. Fox Theater was hands down the best venue I have been in as far as history. Not sure of capacity but it looked around 5,000 people.

at the end of wishlist at msgII, didnt he say something like "i wish i was vice president" because he wanted obama to be president?



not to mention rock around barack or whatever...

I remember in 2004, I made an equal & off-setting donation to the NRA. I wanted to see Pearl Jam, but wasn't happy with my money going to moveon.org. So, I had to do that in order to clear my conscience.

Yeah, so much so that they are penalizing you people this year. So they might not even waste their time with that state....no offense.

Yeah, I must say I felt dirty giving money to moveon, but it got me 2nd row in Toledo so I guess donating to something you don't believe in can reward you in the end.

haha, I heard that. I listened to that Toledo 2004 show a few weeks ago. Not my favorite setlist in the world.

very unlikely
phil already has a fall tour booked
although not announced Ratdog probably does as well.

This will be unpopular, but I don't like him. I don't like McCain at all, either. Either of them will be nothing more than corporate bitch-tools. We already know about McCain, and even though he's Republican he does have an historically illustrated anti-establishment streak. I like that much about him. The problem is, he's just dumb. I don't think McCain equates to another Bush term, but he'll support some stupid initiatives and screw the economy even worse than it is. Obama seems pretty sharp, but he already "kissed the ring" at Bilderberger in D.C. this year, and all the "money people", especially the mass media execs are behind him for a reason. He is the "elite" candidate. He will be a tool. He's a three-year senator, that's it. And while it can be argued that maybe the lack of Washington experience means he's less corrupt, that's simply naive. Neither of them offer much promise.

I wish there was a candidate I could get excited about.

I'm suffering from "ED" too.





Electile Disfunction...........I can't get excited about either of these candidates.

give us some truth!!!!

Election date just over three months away......? I dont think this is happening this time around.

hopethatuchoke

Nah he was full of shit. He predicted a spectrum show as well. It's funny when people come on here and are deliberately vague about rumors and stuff they think to be confirmed. I don't know if they think it makes them cool?? but it's sure is funny when they are proven to be full of it or misinformed.

I read in an article that they would play for a month straight in Ohio and Florida....

2nd page, last question


nevermind you that the article is from September, 2007.

yeah, I remember that article- it gave me hope then, even though I knew that Ed was being sarcastic.

emily6371

He was? Why'd you have to go and ruin it?



j/k. I'm from Cincy and am keeping hope alive.

Get_Right

my guess one BIG show after the Convention, maybe LA, NYC, Chicago, Miami
maybe simultaneous shows-who knows?

I know nothing and am offering up pure conjecture.

Well, you still never know. The 2004 VFC tour was announced on August 4 of that year. Only two months before the tour and three months before the election. So I guess a tour is still possible...

That's true! My original prediction was for a tour announcement for tomorrow- July 30th

but then again, I don't see any sort of announcement until mid to late August- when the Ed Solo tour is almost or is over

Kerry won Pa- where PJ played in Reading.
Kerry also won DC and Mass.

It was close in FL and Ohio-
Those idiots are probably regreting their vote for "W" now.

InMyTree4

instead of a whole band tour each member is going to pick a state and do one solo show the day before the election.

PJMEMama

I didn't read this whole thread so maybe some else already pointed out that Ed's going to be a dad again soon, I would be surprised if he was on the road much after 8/22.

August 6th- my new prediction date for an announcement
