So the real question...Why is Pearl Jam ignoring the States?

Because at a certain point money became the most important thing. Like it or not, it is what it is. But that made it a lot easier to not get to see any more shows. All about memories at this point. But I do laugh at people spending 75 bucks plus to see Ed play a damn ukulele. You would shit yourself at what 35 bucks a ticket used to get me.

Trust me Eddie is well worth it. Thats is with out mentioning Glen Hansord on the bill too. I was looking at my goods purchase history and the first thing listed is $78 for 2 tickets to Albany show. Oh how great those days were

I respectfully disagree. Could see Neil Young solo for those prices. Ed with a uke is not even in the same ballpark.

Have you see Vedder at one of his solo dates?

Ed, by himself, is pretty impressive. You get a mix of his solo stuff, covers and some pearl jam tunes. Sure, $90 a ticket is a little high, but the intimacy that you get in those small venues cant be matched. Plus Glen Hansard is spectacular as well.

I highly recommend to anyone to catch Vedder solo, it is an great experience.

This.

The band can tour whenever and wherever it wants.

Ed played maybe 6 uke songs. 24-26 without a uke. Worth every penny.

this shit again.....

:roll:

if you haven't figured it out yet....this band marches to the beat of a different drummer.

But, it certainly seems a bit strange with such a big year that they haven't yet toured or scheduled a tour of the US. Weird.

Good things come to those who wait

Obviously the band felt playing 2 gigs at Alpine was better/more special than doing a normal tour.

100% agree.

It's not that we here in the US are looking for sympathy or anything, or even that the band owes us anything, I think it's just more that it was the 2oth year and there were only two dates. And as far as it "only" being one year, this isn't remotely true. They did a fairly small US tour in May of 2010. Realistically, -> IF <- (Soundgarden's album may have serious impact here) they do tour, it will be in the fall of 2012....that's 2.5 years, not 1.

we know they like to do things their way vs. being mass produced & over exposed.

you remember the no interview phase?
you remember the no ticketmaster venue phase?
you remember the no music video phase?

you people remember this stuff right?

if you want to see them soo bad....go oversea's and catch a show or two or three....

I don't remember any of that stuff.

i think an explanation had to do of when the new album comes out..maybe the do a usa full tour after the new album..
