Ten Club: Some love for upstate NY please!

Boston, Hartford, Providence, etc, that entire area is smaller than NY state and they get multiple concerts every tour. Then you throw in NYC which is still closer to Hartford and Boston than it is to Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, etc. The fans in that part of the country are very lucky.

PJ, all I'm asking is a little more love for the rest of NY state. You have many people who love you up here!! 3 times in Buffalo in 20 years!! C'mon MAN!

Are you really complaining about having to travel in your own fuckin state to go to a show? Seriously? Try living in parts of the country or the world for that matter, that never gets a show. NY gets at least one show every year - for every tour whether it be PJ, Ed solo, Brad, Tres Mts, the list goes on and on

Toronto is a frequent stop and its only an hour. Cleveland is 3 hours which is reasonable, Detroit 3, Pittsburgh 4, Montreal/Ottawa just over 4.

DUDE! are you really throwing F-bombs at me? All I'm asking for is a little equity for the rest of the state. NYC is 7 hours away. Hartford is 6. The list goes on. Canadian shows are closer to me than shows in, as you so nicely framed it, my own fuckin state.

I understand your frustration. I'm in Alabama last show 2003.

I would LOVE only a 6 or 7 hour trip to a show - that is all I'm saying. The closest I've ever traveled for a show was 4 hours - and that was one time. The rest are no shorter than 5 hours - usually more. As many shows the NE gets every year, pick one and go to it

Yeah, that hurts. We had them in Buffalo last year and I was thrilled about that. I think Rochester had them once in like '92. All I'm asking is that they spread the wealth a little more to places other than NYC. I understand why any band would want to go to NYC, but there is more to a state than its largest city. In our case, it's easier to see a show in another country, which is a little weird.

I'm not looking for arguments. I'm just asking them to spread the love.

And I aplogize - I'm not trying to start any arguements either. I guess I'm just frustrated with parts like the south or the midwest that never gets a proper tour let alone a show. It seems like the NE and the west coast is always included on tours.

I hope you get your shows.

+1

I thought the OP was joking!

It's like the poster in some other thread who was complaining about the "northern half" of California never getting shows. She'd only have to drive a couple of hours to Oaklad/San Francisco. But that's not close ENOUGH.

You should all move closer to civilization LOL

YourDirtisMyfood · March 2011

Well they're having a party in Seattle for the rereleases. But I'm not upset.

SPAC 2000
Buffalo 03
Albany 06
Buffalo 2010

Those were all fantastic shows that happened in upstate NY.

I'd love to get another Pearl Jam show at SPAC. That place kicks ass.

I feel for the Southern folk the most, though. Well, that and the fans from Alaska. :?

I know fantastic shows have happened up here. I never said they didn't. Buffalo '03 remains my favorite ever (that I've attended). But they happen in NE much, much more often, and you can barely call Boston - Providence a long drive for those fans.

I agree that SPAC deserves another show sometime.
