I was thinking that too... because under that idea then they should just stay in Seattle and play ...
Sure, but they don't play here anymore, either. I mean, come on! It's fucking Seattle!

To all those bitching: maybe if the midwest rocked as hard as the east coast does, they'd play more? Maybe if there were a bunch of well populated cities closer together in the sticks, they'd tour there more often? I don't know.
I know I didn't bitch with the announcement of EV playing a west coast only tour. Would I have liked to see EV solo? Definitely. All I know is I saw PJ in Hawaii and I don't live there. And I didn't break the bank to do it. So stop your bitching and go. If you can't go, stop your bitching anyway.
By the way, I've heard of legendary shows over the years and most of them have happened in NY, Boston, Chicago, CA, Seattle, Australia and Europe. Haven't heard much talk about legendary shows in Louisville KY, or Antarctica for that matter.

Then this begs the question of what makes a legendary show... the band or the crowd?
Exactly what I was going to say. My wife is from Northern VA (Fairfax) and they don't consider themselves the south. BUT her parents are hillbillies from Southern VA and absolutely consider themselves southern. So somewhere in the middle of Virginia is the cultural divide between north and south. DC is defintely not the south to anyone who has lived or visited there. But if a book says it is, it must be true.
I didn't say if it were true either way. I said I told Kabong that I thought VA was considered the south and he disagreed.(I had no idea you guys decided to split the state up until reading this thread. ) But he is from just outside DC, has no accent and was constantly grinning about mine...so I know he's not used to hearing a southern accent. I also stated that I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he's the one who lived there. Now how did that turn into: 'Abook says DC is the south and that's that' ??
Jeff, you know I ain't gonna take you talkin' sheet you sum beech cuz us hillbillies don't play.
Edit: Ah, I just noticed your space a book not abook. Sorry!

I think the enthusiasm of the crowd can determine how good the show will be. From all of the bootlegs I've got, it always seems to me that the shows not in North America are the better shows because the crowds are so crazy.

Peace, Love.

That is a completely ridiculous statement. It is nothing more than an opinion you pulled out of your ass that smells like shit. There are so many GREAT shows. To each one's own, which he considers a great show.

Seriously - I went to Hawaii, too...... Do it again in a second. Went to Lolla and got shut out of the Vic Theater - big deal. My dad died last week - that's the shit that matters, not who's a hillbillie and who isn't........ It is what it is.

Right on. One of my favorite boots from 2003 is actually Lexington KENTUCKY. Not considered legendary, but I liked it. And didn't one of the most "legendary" Pearl Jam shows ever happen in Atlanta in 1994? Where's their show this year? Or in the last 5 years? When did Tampa or Columbia, SC ever have a legendary show?
I guess my point is, they don't necessarily book shows based on where great shows have happened in the past. This tour just seems like it's about logistics and convenience.
