I am guessing they have an agreement not to announce any other dates until after roo tix go on sale. Why would they want thier headliner and biggest draw to tell everyone they are playing other shows? They want you to buy roo tix because they know thier other shows will sell out regardless if they announced 5 months or 3 days in advance.

Remember last years Lolla announcement. "Only North American date this year." I dont remember seeing that in the roo announcement.

and with the last part of your post there...hope grows
you are correct
there's nothing in the bonnaroo announcement about it being the ONLY show this year like there was with last year's Lolla announcement.
and i'd like to think if this were THE only one, they'd tell us

By being all smug saying 'I'm not going to bonnaroo cos they're gonna do what they do every year and announce a tour afterwards' :eek:

If I were the band reading that I may be tempted to think 'hahah, fuck these smug bastards and let's just do the one concert after all... let's cancel that world tour we had planned'

So please... just stop it

Thank you

I dont think it's about being smug at all, for many of us is about not dishing out upwards of $500+, a lot more if you are a couple, to see them at one show when more than likely you'll see them later, 2008 or 2009.. I personally after much thinking prefer to save my money and see a 2 or 3 shows even if a have to wait longer. I dont see anything smug about that. IMO

but it IS smug... fair enough I understand the reasons some people can't go. And if they said 'nah, I'm going to wait and see IF they annouce something else' but to say 'I'm going to wait UNTIL they announce something else' is simply tempting fate... it's like the commentators curse.

I see what you are trying to say, I dont know if they are going announce more shows, I hope they do even if its 1 or 2 I'll fly anywhere this year to go see them on a PJ only show, and I am going to sit this one out because the money can definately be more useful if "they were" to announce more shows... I think its hoping and weighing decisions.

If they dont announce more shows I'll be ok, I wont regret not going to Bonnaroo, I'll just wait til next year....

(I see your point as far as the difference in between IF and UNTIL though)

My sentiments exactly Dunk. I am afraid our life must seem very dull and quiet compared to theirs. I was thinking of writing to them and explaining we are but eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between sixteen and nineteen-and-a-half, cut off in this castle with no one to protect us. Oooh. It is a lonely life: bathing, dressing, undressing, making exciting underwear......nothing to keep our spirits up apart from the possibility of advance notice of tour dates......

Do you think it might work?

Write to me! I'll anounce some tour dates for ya!

dunkman is absolutely correct about communication from the band. I was so impressed that Radiohead named the North American cities in advance that I nearly didn't question why others (PJ, specifically) don't do that.

They did. When Ten Club was smaller-staffed and less-expensive, we got the entire tour itinerary in advance on a postcard and still had first dibs on tickets.

It wouldn't hurt Pearl Jam to make some sort of clarification as soon as they can confirm "We'll be playing South Carolina, but not South Dakota."
