    Bonnaroo is a fantastic blend of amazing music and great people. If the first year didn't grab you then... Different strokes for different folks but that first year was special. Last year was great and this year will be even better because of Pearl Jam. It's 80,000 people and Pearl Jam will play for 3 hours, like every other headliner at Bonnaroo.

    this will be my 1st bonnaroo. I've wanted to go to a couple others, but things didn't work out. And it starts on my birthday this year too! :D It sounds like a fricking blast to me.

    They were also "locked" to do Bonnaroo last year, I heard form tons of "inside" sources as well, then they backed out to go to Europe, so I would think they kinda feel they owe them after backing out last year.

    But what i say still doesnt mean shit and NOTHING is DEFINITE until 10c says it is.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Way to keep your cool and re-explain what was a very clear post. To complain and think that Pearl Jam would play a hits show at a festival makes no sense. They might play a lot of their singles but not many people, as you said, know NAIS, Insignificance, Hail, Hail, I Am Mine or even GTF as far as I know. It will be amazing. I too hope they play some shows after. Maybe they will head out to Red Rocks. It's past time for that.
    You have no idea what I would do for a 2 night stand at Red Rocks. My first concert was a Halt Petty show at the pepsi center and that was my last. IM READY FOR MY FIRST REAL PJ SHOW!

    Why do you hope they don't play Bonaroo? I'm not going even if they play there, I dont like festivals, but I'm just curious as to why you hope they don't play there?

    People are assuming Bonaroo after reading the blog because when Jeff gave that speech that was talked about last year on here at the University in Missoula he mentioned it himself that they would be playing Bonaroo, of course is no official confirmation from the band but that is the reason why many are assuming Bonaroo is the best bet as to announcements next week.

    I too hope they play other shows besides Bonaroo.


    I just wish they would play somewhere else that I could go to.
    And Bonnaroo is my least favorite festival due to the camping requirement and the number of people.

    Yeah, the festivals can be tough, but hey... I'll take what PJ I can't get.

    For what it's worth, there's been chatter about Gorge shows as well... and that's what they did in 2006 after being in the studio for a while. Who knows.

    But I vote for the Gorge!! There's NOTHING like it!

    that first year was awful...... 2002 I think.... anyway

    it took longer to get into the parking/camping area then it took to drive from chicago to the end of the line.....

    it was hot with no shade except under the car......

    they underestimated the amount of shit that would be created because the shitter filled up quickly over flowed and there were big puddles of poop, they worked 24 hours a day trying to keep them somewhat clean and empty

    the music was good at times, over crowded at times and some folks are just there for the drugs....

    bonaroo really has zero appeal to me as all festivals do nowadays. been there, done that...not my thang. however, IF it were the only chance for a live pj fix this year, i might consdier it.


    that said, whoever was dreaming of red rocks.......oooohhhhhhhhhhhmyyyyyyyyyyyy...i would soooo go! that is a 'dream pj show' for me, so just would hope it would be when i could make it!



    and i too agree i hope and pray 10c announces ALL shows at ONCE..or as best they can, at least say more shows are in the works for wherever....etc.....just a CLUE what the grand plan may be a for a tour so we can all plan accordingly. *fingers crossed*


    as long as it's between april 15th and september 1st...or after october 15th.....i'm in. for somethin'. :D
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    festvals give fans like me who don't have a decent 10club number the chance to get up close and see the band front row, all of you that are complaining, we'll have fun without you!

    apparently they are giving clues out on radio roo.

    from inforoo:

    The DJ just came on and said

    Clue #1 "For all you lineup lookers....here is a clue: There is more than one Manchester."

    Clue #2 20 miniutes later she said " Memphis is not Albany" How fun is this?

    Clue #3 "Clouds taste this way"

    Clue #4 "Some Herrings are red, Jimmy"

    Clue #5 "Hard Substance, Soft Substance"

    Please focus on clue 5. After she said the clue, apparently they play a song.

    "hard substance, soft substance" next clue followed by Galactic- Uptown Oddissey .... so this is the clue and the song that followed.

    here is some one's view on clue 5 that i particularly like: "Hey guys! Long time lurker on this fine board. This whole clue ordeal makes me want to throw in my 2 cents. "Hard substance,soft substance"=Pearl Jam? "

    and another little quote from some one that is very intuative: "These lyrics are in the song Uptown Odyssey, by Galactic...

    "In the months
    Their innocence began to fade
    They were 17 years old
    Felt like bird let out of a cage"

    Pearl Jam recorded and released 'Ten' in 1991, 17 years ago."

    :D

    One of the clues was "Janis Joplin preserves will be served". THAT'S Pearl Jam.

    Janis Joplin's record = Pearl, preserves = Jam
