    Should 10club have also guaranteed short bathroom lines and swift moving traffic upon exiting?

    Well, now that you mention it . . . . :D

    I cannot confirm this rumor, but what I heard in Mansfield was....If curfew is broken, they lose their liquor license and the band that breaks it has to pay what the alcohol sales would have been for the whole year.

    I felt that releasing Guaranteed on the verizon wireless platform defeated the purpose of the song and the movie.

    PJ talks a lot about big corporations and greed yet they sign a deal with verizon who isnt the prettiest corporation?

    Dude what are you talking about? What are they supposed to play only benefit shows at small theaters so only a handful of people can see them? The Virginia Beach shows have rocked over the years and I don't think that the fans should suffer just because Verizon sucks. And from where I was sitting (the grass, I always do) Guaranteed was a much appreciated song for some fans who can't afford to fly to a big city to see Ed play solo.

    I have been going to shows since i was 14, I'm 24 now, and I have only been able to see them them 8 times. You saw them 8 times THIS YEAR! How can you EVER complain about ANY PJ show. They rock, every time out. I've seen A LOT of live music over the last 10 years and there is no other band out there that puts as much effort into pleasing its fans.

    SHUT THE FUCK UP!

    to add to what I just said:

    The band goes to great lengths to play for as long as they can. I don't know the rules in Mansfield but I was told that PJ almost couldn't play at all Monday because of what happened Saturday. Mansfield has always been super strict about curfew, alcohol sales, etc. You can't complain about a band that pays fines for its fans.

    Anyways, they DID break curfew on Monday. They played until 20 past 11.

    We parked in a private premier lot and were there real early. A guy who worked the lots drove his cart over and told us that Saturday was nuts in the lots and that in fact there was talk about them not playing Monday. They decided to ban booze instead. Not sure if it is true but that is what he said.

    It all started with Tom Petty according to security. I guess there were a bunch of people who parked in the free lot and then brought the party to the private lots. Cars got broken into and things as well. It continued with Dave Matthews and ended with almost 50 arrests Saturday night. The security guy told us that there are hardly ever arrests and that they needed to put a stop on things early because there are a lot of shows lined up for the year. Not only that he said there has been a change in policy since Live Nation took over (whatever that meant)

    APN, you've suffered a lot of abuse for expressing your opinion here. That's unfortunate. I love a good f-bomb, but many of the folks here need to calm the hell down.

    That said, you may want to back off on the next tour and keep it to 1-2 shows. You'll probably have a better experience that way. You seem to have OD'd on Pearl Jam and your expectations are suffering because of it. If you miss an extraordinary show, you can at least get the bootleg. It's better than setting yourself up for disappointment.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    APN,

    If I understand your post correctly, you are QQ that Eddie lied to you because a curfew was enforced and you were disappointed.

    Your sense of entitlement astounds me.

    I feel for you sir/madam when life hands you REAL problems.

    Best of luck.
    I wish a guy like Eddie, would like me.

    disappointment = angst....this will always be true....but we are lucky to have the opportunity to get tickets...it is a crap shoot....there is no perfect system...you can't plese everyone....be happy that we have the opportunity...do ANY other bands...or in this case solo acts...give fans a shot at the BEST seats in the house?...no fucking way....10c rocks for the opportunity they grant us...we should all rejoice in that...

    and the boys sounded at the top of their game on this mini-tour!

    I think they arguably played till 11:05... either way, that's being the curfew's bitch. But I totally understand why it can't be broken.

    coming from a guy who has seen the band once, owns one poster, and was unable to obtain eddie tickets for ANY of his first leg tour after trying for probably about 6 hours total, i think the original post is coming from someone who doesnt realize just how lucky they are.

    do you know how many people were unable to get eddie tickets?

    do yuo know how many people would have done just about anything to go to just 1 show in 08 let alone 8???

    sorry if i dont feel bad for you . . . .

    Ive even gone as far as possibly calling up tenclub and canceling my membership which I just renewed and selling my 25 or so posters.

    I dunno maybe I just have to wait it out.

    just pretty disappointed i guess.

    Right, I know we are not supposed to abuse one another, posting guidelines and all...

    but this is me abusing you!
