I would much rather see a PJ concert. Festivals are cool because you get to see alot of bands but as far as PJ was concerned I thought Lollapalooza sucked. I would much rather have an assigned seat rather than being packed in like a bunch of Sardines with people who haven't showered in days only to hear the Rearview Mirror LP minus Who You Are. To me they are much better when playing to their own fans than people who haven't heard anything since Vitalogy... I guess it's just not my cup of tea. To all those who do go have a great time and think of me when they play an amazing set just to spite me..

I should say that if it appears this is the only show they will play I will be forced to go...

    I think most of us would rather them not play festivals.

    i have gone to festivals; will still go to festivals; but I'd rather see PJ at Deer Creek Bitches. :D

    But if the Roo is my only choice, I'll be there.

    Geez, they play 1 or 2 festivals dates in the US in how many years and ppl are complaining about festivals? You know how many die hard pearl jam fans never get close because the same fans get the best seats in the house every night? Lots.

    Festivals give those a chance you rarely get to see a band up close if they want to. I know ppl are pissed because they haven't seen a seated show in a couple years, but you know your day will come and you'll have your cozzy 3rd row seat at every show on the tour.

    id venture to say that alot of people feel that way. i know if they schedule dates closer to home i would rather go to multiple pearl jam shows regardless of who else is on the bonnaroo lineup. i have the benefit of living in delaware so i hope to hit up philly, dc, and new york.

    i'm allways on the fence about festivals i swore no more for me after LOLLA, but when it comes down to it if it's only one show all of 08 it's almost impossible for me to stay away ......:(

    that's my feeling too. i don't do camping or huge festivals, but if it's the absolute only way to see them anytime this year, then i might consider it. i'd rather travel for a PJ-only show. in any case i'm happy for those who will be able to make it, camping just ain't my bag :)

    I'd prefer stadia shows as well, but I'm also a 10c'er so I get some solid seats. HOWEVER, when you have a choice between a show at a festival or nothing? The choice is clear: Stop crying, man up, and pack up the tent.

    PLUS a festival gives you the opportunity to experience Pearl Jam like it was back in the day where there actually is a PIT! No longer will you be forced to stay within your row or behind the tape the crew places on the floor surrounding the seats on the floor. It's time to break free!

    Dude, that's what I'm saying. I wouldn't miss Roo for anything!

    Although my plan was to go with PJ there or not.

    Be sure to save some energy for the late night ; )

    I don't see anyone complaining, just stating fact

    I've seen PJ almost 30 times, I can do with missing a festival show
