    Play the south sometime soon please. I would love to see a show within driving distance soon

    Screw "driving distance" - I want to see a show where I can sleep in my own bed that night.

    I consider anything less than 8 hours "driving distance", however I won't be sleeping in my bed if I had to drive 8 hours to get there!

    Play the South! Play Houston!
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I have NEVER [10 shows in 17 years] been able to sleep in my own bed the night of a Pearl Jam show.

    Closest I've gotten was getting home in time for breakfast after driving all night.

    I did twice.. the St. John's shows in September 2005... it was pretty awesome... every show since (all 7 of them) I have slept in a hotel bed afterwards (well to be fair, not all of them were in a hotel bed - a couple were on a hotel floor... :lol: )

    I remember reading that article about Jeff getting mugged in Atlanta as well, though I don't remember any of the details... but it also begs the question, if you hate the south so much you won't play a show here, why are you recording in this area? especially when most of the members of the band all have their own recording studios...

    Well, I think that Brendan O'Brien's Southern Tracks Studio is here in Atlanta. And he produced Backspacer...which was no doubt why Jeff was here. I went and googled it just now, and the incident took place in late April of 2009, so that's about right for a trip down here to mix the record.

    It just breaks my heart that Jeff had to run into such a sorry example of our local citizenry...as a PJ fan, it pisses me off no end....and although I have never been mugged in 15 years of living here, it nevertheless leaves me mortified that that happened to a member of the band in the city where I live.

    But hopefully they all have fonder memories of some of their other trips here. Like maybe the '94 show at the Fox Theatre? :P

    We Atlantans can only hope!
