    I do believe that Pearl Jam knows their fan base. Let's keep in mind that we did not personally choose the Southern venues. Pearl Jam did (as well as those that work for them!) And they saw it within reason to tour Va., SC., and book TWO shows (within two hours of each other) here in FLORIDA! I trust that they know what they're doing! And those of us in Florida (as well as SC and VA), and those from out of state and country whom are traveling to the Southern shows- are going to be THRILLED beyond belief to see them!!!!! We are also thrilled for our North East Friends as well. If you have the extra time and money - Come see them here in the South as well! Seriously.

    Crazy idea, but I really want to go to more than one show.....anybody on here interested in sharing the drive from Cola to Va. Beach? It's about seven hours and I hate driving but I hate missing out on our Southern tour.....I've got a good number (126xxx) and I would split my ticket and expenses. We could take my car as well. I think we're all good people here so maybe it's not so crazy......let me know if you're interested.

    Once Texas is announced then the thread can be locked.

    ACL announcement in less than three weeks....a day which will either be glorious, or depressing.

    yup, both shows... and the sign said "play the south". Ed saw it. we still talk about his antics on the stage. Then he came back to take a bow... sigh. certainly a highlight for me.

    I had wanted to get it to Mike the first night (we were 2nd row) but it was crazy... by the 4th song I had a kid crawling up my back and my husband was being pushed back - so we got out of the pit (ok, we are old :))
    2nd night we were 1st tier side stage -best seats ever had. Perhaps the best show I've seen so far.

    We have friends coming in from the Kansas for the fla shows too... they have killer 10c number. Am going to see if they can get the sign onto the stage. They should be close enough.

    hey man, thanks for reminding me and letting me re-live the moment yet again.

    I can remember reading a review of that Lisbon show and someone commented on that very sign. It struck me as out-of-place, but also like someone was representing me in Portugal.

    Glad to know it was you. Thanks for your diligence! ;)
