Either contractual or they don't want the fans to see them. I just can't figure out why on earth PEARL JAM is not on the roo webcast this weekend.

    I call bullshit on that cop out. It even says on the roo webcast that "Viewer Discretion is Advised"
    They aren't censorin shit!
    That excuse is tired. I'm thinking the new VERIZON contract is prohibiting them from broadcasting on the ATT blueroom.

    No ... what they are saying is the last time AT&T broadcast them, they were censored. So it would be pretty strange for them to allow AT&T to do it again.

    If you think that.. no problem. few other pj friends of mine also seem to think Verizon is holdin them by the balls.

    I think your "friends" are overthinking things.

    You don't think it has something to do with AT&T censoring PJ less than a year ago, and the hub-bub around that? Really? It was kind of a big deal at the time.

    So much so that I would have been absolutely, positively shocked if they'd allowed it again this year.

    Makes sense. Att apologized and said they wouldn't do it again, this webcast is NOT censored and PJ shuns away.
    Owell... I'll see them one day live again sometime.

    My guess is it has nothing to do with AT&T vs. Verizon, b/c 'Roo is not part of their regular tour.
    I'm betting they refused to allow AT&T to broadcast them based on the crap that was pulled last year, and I stand behind them 100% for it. Why let PJ's name be used to advertise the brand of AT&T after that bullshit?

    Heh, well it's completely different when you're actually there. Would you be happy if someone judged Pearl Jam's live performances based on a webcast?

    I wouldn't care 2 shits if someone judged PJ on a webcast or any other type of show. If they don't like them, owell......... Why would I be upset on someones choice of music? Could care less.
