**The Official Tour The Southern United States Thread**

I haven't traveled extensively enough w/ this band to say for sure, but I get the feeling there is a core segment of our number who DO NOT have regular jobs, who travel to every show they can leverage on credit, and who put everything in life off in favor of Pearl Jam.

And if that's true and the number is high enough, I would wager the band is guilty of taking advantage of that.

Man, I cannot understand people like that. I mean, I love this band, but if I hand to use credit or a loan or something along those lines to see this band, I wouldn't be going. The band is awesome, but not to the extreme of controlling my life... that is nuts.

Interesting theory though....

Play the South

Play ATL, Bama, NC, SC, VA, TN, etc.....

Tour the South!

Man I can't wait until the board clams down a bit and we don't have to do so much bumping!

tour the south

I agree we need a Southern U.S. Tour!!! This board has been hoPping for a while concerning PJ20. I'm happy for those getting to go, but for a lot of us it doesn't mean anything. PLAY THE SOUTH, PLEASE!!!

Those of us Southers going to PJ20 need to find the band while we are there, all of us together, and demand they hash things out with us. Cos with all this frustration and upset and disappointment in them, they have a number of questions that need to be answered. Why do they avoid the south. the real reason, not some scheduling bs. Why did EdVed just sy in a RS interview they are looking forward, which makes me think we are gonna get the usual concert with covers and mostly new stuff, instead of a proper 20th anniversary celebrating the past 20 years of their music, not just the new shit and other people's shit. Why did he diss his loyal fans in that other article, remember the special edition mag you could order online with him flipping the bird (sorry my memory is shit) I didn't want to believe it then, but the way they have been acting it's hard to avoid thinking maybe they do want new fans at any cost, including the cost of losing their current loyal fan base. They seem to be changing a lot to appease the youngin's...to me anyways.

Just seems to me they are heading in that big pop money-making, teenage-targeting, big business direction that only cares about green, and I don't mean the environment. Who cares if we got jobs, or little money and can't travel far. Who cares that we are the ones that made them rich for the past 2 decades. As long as they get that payday..right. I dunno..I don't want to believe any of this, I think I'm just getting severely disallusioned with them. Sorry to gripe so much.

Play the South

Play VA Beach, and anywhere in NC please. I'll let you crash at my outer banks home. Best surf on the east coast Ed.
