    Exactly and they don't have to say more information will be available later either. THey will certainly want us to know about it, I promise.

    Going back to my last post: I would expect any business to take care of me and treat me right if ever there arose a situation I felt I had been wronged or somehow cheated. Say, for instance, if I ordered a PJ tshirt from the 10C and it never showed up, I would expect a little help there, but as for me asking questions of them about information that would certainly be provided to me when and if it became available: that has nothing whatsoever to do with our fand/band relationship...not in the least
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Then again, if they had not sold McRibs in two years, I would assume they probably won't be coming back, so there would be no need in me pestering the folks at McD's headquarters about the probability of them bringing those delicious sammiches back. If they brought the McRib back, I would be happy as a little girl, but I would probably be willing to wait until I saw the commercials all over the TV...as McDonalds, like Pearl Jam, would certainly want me buy whatever it might be they are pedaling because they aren't selling them sammiches again just so I can drip a little BBQ sauce down my chin

    No, I understand what you're saying...but I think we were privy to more information at certain points and it was more an organic environment.

    A strange turn we've taken and a huge plug for McDonalds. :)

    Correct...I'm not worrying about bootlegs, but there are those who would like to know and in a sign of good faith and keeping a positive relationship with fans...go against the corporate grain and keep them in the loop.

    I think, and I could be wrong, but a grassroots relationship has helped garner such a large fan base.

    No, any franchise below the city of Cincinnati would not get McRibs. ;)

    Oh no! I'm screwed!

    Hey, PBM, wonder if Ronald would be willing to let us debate the importance of the McRib for a commercial or something? Maybe a pay-per-view special?

    I don't expect an answer from 10C but I can only hope that perhaps the existence of these threads might factor into their decision making for boots in 2008.

    I think a large part of the fanaticism of Pearl Jam's current fanbase can be attributed to the bootlegs, I know it certainly deepened my love for the band - in both the sense that the act of making their shows available for the fans increased my respect for the band and also that the ability to have a great sounding copy of every show helped me feel almost as if I was there for every one.

    Just, y'know, think about it 10C/band.

    Thread integrity. You didn't address whether there would be official boots for this tour.

    Unfortunately I think you're right.....I'm sure in one of his radio/internet interviews Stone said something along the lines of "the band being more selective of the material they put out", I hope this is wrong but I've got a bad feeling that we've seen the end of every show in a tour being released....... :(

    Well I'm happy to say that it looks like this load of rubbish I wrote yesterday is just that......yeah :D
