somebody posted this a few days back:

"I wanted to let the PJ faithfull know that Pearl Jam requested a 4 hr set for Lollapalooza and they were granted persmission!!!

My friend is an event organizer and he told me the good news today.

It looks like it is going to be a sick show after all!!!"


sounds like b.s. to me.

    there was no source or credit to the rumor whatsoever.

    Again, I think that this is b.s.

    However, they may have asked for a 4 hour time slot so that they could go on later and play later. Like a 9:00-11:30 set or something.

    I don't think that they'll treat this like a normal "festival" such as they do typically in Europe. One of two U.S. dates this year, Ed's hometown, 1st Lolla appearance since 92' etc.

    Maybe wishful thinking but a 2 and 1/2 hours would be rad. Plus starting after it gets dark would be a plus imo as well.

    That would be 2 hours longer than the schedule shows and 2 hours past the end of last year's Lolla.

    i say it time and time again, this was my first cd/bootleg i bought in 2004. Got me hooked on the band ever since. I call it fate; I buy the 3-pack that turns out to have been the longest show every played up to that date, and I never even knew at the time. I bought the poster to commemorate even tho I wasn't there in spirit. I know the in between song dialogues verbatim :)

    Actually, there is no end time on the schedule (unlike Fri & Sat) Though I still think 4 hrs is bullshit. It's just weird that they would specify the other two nights end at 10:00 but not PJ.
    To take it further, if you go by the schedule, it starts at 8 and never finishes. May I be the first to start the rumor they're going to play a continuous set forever! I know a guy who knows a guy who totally confirmed it!

    Yep, I was so happy when they just kept coming back and playing. Was it 3 hours and 40 minutes originally? Or 3 20? I know a lot of crowd noise between encores was cut out on the boot, but you can't blame the band for taking a few minutes break in between a show that long. When it passed the 2.5 hour mark I just remember telling my wife "it's gonna be 3 CDs!" and then it really went longer. Awesome memories.

    Back at the beginning, Perry Ferrell said PJ would get 3 hours.

    Maybe the 4 hour time-frame includes setup and breakdown, like a PJ only show, which doesn't seem all that unreasonable. Figure they play 2 and 1/2 hours, that leaves an hour and a half of logistics.
