what did the south (Arkansas & Texas ) do to not deserve a show since '03?
I had heard that the band was upset shot something but don't know what. Can anyone shed some low light on this?
I hope to see them down this way next year.

Screw the "Bush is office rumors." Eddie helped encourage that by plugging ralph nader in 2000. Then again they did tour here in 2003? If it is Bush related, well our votes don't count as much as we think anyways so HA Yes, we have the right to vote, BUT the electoral college picks the president and our votes are configured into a [percentage per state, so it isn't Texas Fault. If it is Bush related, Ed should have given the electoral college hell at the Washington DC show.
Play Texas Damnit! Bush isn't even from here, He was born in Conneticut. Ok, I'll give you the fact the Crawford ranch is here, but that's a vacation spot/ second home, Kind if like if I bought a condo or apartment in Seattle (If I had the $ I'd do it). I do hope to move there some day.

I live in Edwardsville IL but am about 20 minutes from St Louis.
And in my humble opinion, I think Ed should do a solo show here, I mean it is "Ed"wardsville!!!! There is a little theatre up the street from me he could play at.
It's not rocket science to figure out travel expenses are reduced when multiple night shows can be booked to the same venue...let us know when the south can support that...
thats retarted, just book a smaller venue, just because you can't sell 20,000 tickets in Alabama doesn't mean they should never play there again, and forget what fans they do have there
ok junior, then lets do the math...the band signs on to play Bonnaroo, which last i checked, TN is in the south...with me so far? equipment and band travel from Seattle or at least let's say left coast...so to offset expenses, they schedule a few gigs...TX and AL would be on the way..eh???? but instead they book shows in the northeast...i guess they really do LOVE camden!!! lol... and ironically, Hartford was a stop in between NYC and Boston...so why do you think they didn't play any gigs between left coast and TN?!?!?!?!?!?

Next big tour , maybe fall of 09' I would imagine they might play Atlanta, New Orleans , Dallas but thats it. It costs alot of money to tour and their management is running a business, if you live in a crappy city in the South you can do 2 things, #1 quit being a baby and travel to see them or #2 nothing.
i live in Mich. and was skipped in 95 and 96 (I couldn't drive anyway but), if you go through the tours everyone has been skipped save the Northeast, where PJ has an amazing fanbase that sells out everytime, and usually the band can play two shows in each major city. The SOuth did get some shows this year (and from what I hear Columbia brought it hardcore) which shows they are conscientious of the need to playeverywhere.

Really, well on this last tour they played WPB 1 night, Tampa 1 night, Roo 1 night, Coumbia 1 night, Virginia Beach 1 night, D.C. 1 night and Hartford 1 night. The only venues that got 2 nights were Camden, MSG and Mansfield.

Now before you all start posting things like "just travel to see them like the rest of us" I have traveled to see them just about every tour now...all I'm saying is a hometown show would be nice, and some support from other fans for the band to play here would be nice as well. Fans in TX love the band as much as any other fans
They wouldn't sell out 6 shows in Texas, nice try. San Antonio (which has a huge population) didn't sell out the 1 show they got.
Hooray Florida shows
Two things.
No. 1 -- Houston and DFW are much, much bigger than SA. Play there. You shouldn't have much problems.
No. 2 -- I was at the SA show ... I have a hard time believing it wasn't sold out. There were people fucking everywhere. More than most shows I've seen at that venue. I was under the impression that it DID sell out.
for the least they could possibly do

Also, the band could just play 2 cities down here in Texas. We are just wanting to see a pearl jam show, which is what everyone else on this board wants everyday. They played 3 Texas cities last time, so this time they could play Just Houston and Dallas. They also did a 2 night back to back show in Houston in 2000 and both shows sold out, so yeah they can sell out 2 nighters here. You also do realize that it won't be just Texas people at the shows. There will be people from Oklahoma, Arkansas, and other cities within 4 and 5 hour stretches that don't get a show coming to the Texas ones. People from this board on the east/ West coasts who see like 10 shows a tour will also flock down here and watch the shows too, even though they feel the need to bash us on here for wanting to see pearl jam play a few shows in our state, It's a reasonable request. Just like the Play "Spectrum" thread or "Alpine valley", and even Seattle. (Really surprised Seattle hasn't gotten a pj show in awhile), but even those people where able to drive to the Gorge. Not knocking ya, just saying we need some pearl jam to rock out to live down here too.

No shit! I don't want to hear how expensive it is to travel. Just did a 2600 mile road trip at four dollars a gallon to see pj in Tampa, the closest to Texas show. And I have never ever voted for George W Bush or his daddy.

Read my post about fans not supporting the fans in TX (that part applies to you) and the San Antonio show DID in fact sell out...I was there so try again.
