    If it happens it would be great!!! PJ in central park on what would probably be a beautiful September night- that time of year is perfect for outdoor concerts here in NYC. It will be crazy as far as how many people would show up, but if you know that going into it and go in with an open mind, you'll have a blast. Kick back, listen to the music and let it take you to the place that it does. It would be worth it.

    It wouldn't be fun because the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohls phony ass would end up on stage with PJ.....

    Too much complaining here already for something that we don't even know is or is not happening yet
    Get a grip (**some**) of you

    I'll keep an open mind/ear
    and ENJOY
    no worries
    right?
    We're here to have fun...so lets have fun!
    Who's hangin?
    No worries about front row
    No worries about the number of people that show up
    No worries about whether or not you approve of any other bands on the bill

    Its PEARL JAM for pete's sake
    Chill out and have a good time :thumbup: :wave:

    Who's with me?
    peace,

    Skip the whole show because there's a possibility that a person would join PJ onstage for a song... yea that makes sense.

    PJ and the Foos can play in any major market around the world right now, when DMB played Central Park in 2003, a majority of their fanbase was limited to the US, nowhere near where they are on an international level now, and nowhere near where Pearl Jam has been on an international level for the past 20 years. I think you're underestimating how many people would go to this show, especially if PJ doesn't schedule many US dates this year. And I realize how big Garth Brooks is and that he was probably at the peak of his popularity when he played there, I was joking :roll: If tickets are limited it's a moot point, but if there's no cap, it's not unbelievable for 2 of the biggest rock bands of the last 20 years to draw 400,000 people at a free show in New York City on a Saturday (pretty sure the DMB show was mid week).

    PJ couldn't sell out alpine valley

    yes i realize NYC is 3,000 times easier to get to ... but PJ20 was an EVENT in the world of PJ... and lawn seats could be bought with ease

    i believe that
    NYC is so easy to access
    and so well known around the world
    i think that fans from outside the county
    would be so much more at ease with heading to NYC than to bumf*K wisconsin

    and we'll see YOU Dimi? yes, silly question?

    Totally depends on cost of the show. If its a free Central Park show with the Foos.. you could easily hit those insanely high numbers.

    But if its a normally priced PJ show, then yeah its not going to be 100,000+
  • SVRDhand13SVRDhand13 Posts: 26,988
    This forum greatly overemphasizes the current popularity of Pearl Jam to be quite honest. Demand for this wouldn't be near the level for other big Central Park shows.

    Even if it was (PJ20) the event of the world (that year) of PJ (per say), it was located in the middle of nowhere's. Not every Pearl Jam fan in the world (big or small) traveled there for that festival event. And yes it's 3000x (hell it's even 10000x +times) easier to get to Central Park then it is to Alpine Valley. Thousands of people (what am I saying, millions of people) live just minutes away from Central Park. This draws much more attendance then anything else.
