    Sept 29th? Are you kidding me? The anniversary of my first pearl jam show which is also one of their greatest shows ever! I will definitely be there. This will be epic.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    The 29th??? :shock:

    Eek. I have NYPhil tickets for the 27th (opening night!) and the 29th (Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, Rimsky-Korsakov, not that any of you care; my son loves Russian composers). Oh, my. If this happens, I'll need to reschedule the NYPhil for another night and give serious thought to getting a hotel room in the city for a few days. Tunnel tolls are cheaper, but traffic is such a hassle that the hotel might be worth it. :?

    Selfishly, I would prefer it not to be free, I think it changes the dynamic of the people who will be there.

    But of course I will still find a way to be there if it happens! :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    If it happens I'm there but you are definitely right. PJ/Foos free concert on the Great Lawn? We're talking about a million people showing up for that. With high security in NYC I just can't see the city allowing it. If it was at Summerstage maybe but I just can't imagine a free concert on the great lawn. I saw Paul Simon there in '90 and 750,000 people showed up.

    Hmm what about a free show...BUT...just open to 10c members and Foo fan club members? Throw in some radio contest winners and lottery-drawing winners. Wouldn't be total chaos then :think:

    hmmmmm...a one-off PJ/Foos show, POSSIBLY for free in Central Park, NYC in the fall. I think my decision has been made for me!


    I just asked and they don't know if it's a frees how or not. My bad, I thought that's what one of them said. Maybe a charity type thing. They raised $3 mil last time they did a charity in NYC.

    same here. A Pearl Jam show less than 2 hours long doesn't seem right.

    i'd rather pay than have the typical festie crowd show up at "our" show.

    a 10C show would be awesome

    not to be negative but i just have a little trouble believing foos and pj on one bill?

    and this time, when Eddie says

    "we're gonna be just like the Grateful Dead"
    he will have two reasons to say it loud and proud!

    Based on what I've heard, a 9/29 date in Central Park wouldn't be feasible for PJ from a logistical standpoint.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    Just passing along the info I heard today-along with UPSDan hearing the same thing. Two different sources. You could be right too-what did you hear that would make this not happen?? Like I said these guys wouldn't lie to me about the date. They are huge music fans like us too.

    All I take from this is that they have another concert somewhere close to that date. Maybe something on the west coast.

    Depends if the weather wants to cooperate or not!! Also, in 2003, DMB played their Great Lawn Central Park show in front of 121,000 people on 9/24.

    I know this isn't confirmed at all and I can't stop thinking of the possibility of this show happening. I keep thinking of a crazy jam at the end of the night, during PJ's set, with both bands on the stage and jamming out to "Rockin' In the Free World".

    Not my preferred way of seeing PJ, but a blowout show with the foos in the park would be fantastic and a ton of fun.
    Big bold and free indeed!

    The weather for the DMB show was perfect. I still don't see this show happening in Central Park. Makes no sense on so many levels.

    I've never before hoped a show rumor wouldn't be true, but ...

    This is bumming me out.

    This show would be incredible, obviously.. but there are so many things that would go wrong...

    #1... FREE... Foo fighters and PJ .. at a free show... ummm

    #2 Central Park (although amazing.. with it being free.. i would expect there to be at least 250-400k people.. like.. seriously)

    If DMB can draw 121k people... the amount of people a free foo and pj show would be absolutely staggering. Can Central Park even handle the inflow and outflow of the expected amount of people?

    hopefully... 10C and Foo fan members get early access or special access admission.. because these are the people that should be front at any show.. let alone a free show where the biggest fans would be pushed to the back, most likely.
