2 months from today we'll be seeing PEARL JAM @ ACL!!!
YAY!!!!
I know! I have to start getting my act together on this one. I think I am driving down Friday morning.
we're driving in on Wednesday morning to hang out with some friends. then, they're leaving town Thursday & we're house sitting and saving a shitload of $!

Who's been to ACL before? How long can we expect PJ to play? Are we talking a Bonnaroo-like length or what?
their slot is 2 hours. unfortunately, the curfew won't allow them to play much longer than that. i'd guess that they'd play 2-2.5 hours. they've gone over curfew before & have just paid the fines. we'll see. it'd be awesome if they played on & on & on...
I will be there with the wife on Sunday. I am still hoping against hope that I can somehow get into the ACL show taping on Sat. It's my birthday weekend (Oct. 2) so it'll be a great time no matter what. If I can't get in, we'll be on 6th street partying it up!!!!

Fucking curfews ...
If we get 2 1/2 hours, that's pretty much a normal show and I'm cool with that.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do

Yeah. And they played a 2 hour set at Lolla in 2007 and that was a great show! Honestly didn't even notice it being slightly shorter.

Yep. I think we talked about it earlier, but yes, that is the plan!
hopefully the aftershows will be announced soon and we can plan the rest of our weekend!
JamBase has Dan Auerbach at Antones on Saturday, which would be awesome since it looks like I am going to miss him Sunday so I can get a decent spot for Pearl Jam.
My husband and I are driving down from Ft. Worth on Friday morning. We usually go all 3 days with a group of Wholigan friends but this year we will be at the fest Sunday only. We will be hanging with our Who friends some of the time of course but I'm really looking forward to meeting some of you PJ folks. Just hoping to be kept in the loop if anything gets planned, ya know, like a support group for people who don't get into the Saturday night ACL taping.
i think i may have mentioned this to whoprincess as a suggestion...
lots of people bring flags to hold a spot & so others in that group can always find their group. maybe we could bring a flag...and take shifts staying with the flag so we could all be close for PJ. as the day progresses, we could move closer & closer with all of us meeting up during the Dead Weather. it's going to be awfully hard to get close once they (Dead Weather) start their set. it's just a thought....but it gets packed really fast in front of the headliner stages. it's just a thought to make it easier for all of us to navigate. what do you guys think?

im in. i may have to ditch my travelling party but i never get to see pj close. except festivels.
all i remember is that it was a fight for people to try and get back to their group. i was right at the pit wall for bonnaroo and never left my spot. just saw people getting boxed out and elbowed and bitched at for coming at the last minute..

My plan is to get there when Clutch hits the stage and stay there all day until PJ comes out on stage. Upfront of course.

i remember when we saw Bjork a couple of years ago @ ACL. it felt like there was a wall of people pushing us in the hour or 2 before her set started. it may be easier to hold our spot if there's more of us. we'd be willing to hold the flag for a good chunk of the day.
My plan is to get there when Clutch hits the stage and stay there all day until PJ comes out on stage. Upfront of course.
that's pretty much what we thinking as well. it sucks, though. going to have to miss a lot of the bands that we wanted to see. but, Pj hasn't been here in years & we aren't able to make any other shows on this tour. plus, i haven't seen them since the Riot Act tour & my wife has never seen them. can't wait!
What we do each day is get there early and "make camp" in a shady spot near the stage where we expect to spend most of our time. We set up collapsible chairs and blankets and then we all sort of go our separate ways throughout the day. There's always at least one person hanging out at the camp to watch the stuff.
Sunday is a little different. We make camp near the headliner stage but we start to move a few hours before they play. You can figure out when to move by what the rest of the crowd is doing. I've posted this before, but it's kind of hard to keep this in mind right now: Even though all of us are really pumped about seeing PJ, a lot of people are going to leave before they even take the stage. Many people skip the Sunday headliner. They aren't interested, they want to miss the traffic, they have to work the next day, they're going out of town, blah blah woof woof. Some people will listen to a few songs, then leave.
When PJ comes on and the crowd has thinned somewhat it will be a little easier to move up, although I think finding a good spot early on would be smart. But you can't set up chairs within a certain distance of the stage and that's going to be the tough part. It will still be hot in early October and that's a long time to sit in the sun.

I'm anxiously waiting on that, Im praying for a SY after show since I wont be able to catch them on Sunday since it conflicts with PJ
i am assuming that it doesn't really end at 10..
lots of people bring flags to hold a spot & so others in that group can always find their group. maybe we could bring a flag...and take shifts staying with the flag so we could all be close for PJ. as the day progresses, we could move closer & closer with all of us meeting up during the Dead Weather. it's going to be awfully hard to get close once they (Dead Weather) start their set. it's just a thought....but it gets packed really fast in front of the headliner stages. it's just a thought to make it easier for all of us to navigate. what do you guys think?

i could live with that. we should be getting an announcement soon now that Lolla is over.
