    I had a feeling if I were to buy Phillies tix for Cincinnati that weekend, Pearl Jam would show up in Philly. Ugh. I'll hope for a dedicated show, I'm not sticking around for a festival. :roll:

    Can you tailgate?

    Can we kidnap unlost?

    maybe I'll just wait for a west coast tour...I'm not counting on a Seattle date any time soon. :|


    I'm about 2 hours away...I think I'll just stick with my DeLuna fest...either come to florida or we'll meet up at the next west coast tour! :D

    and I just canceled my alpine reservation...so sad. :(

    I think I'm gonna save my money for Bridge school, or a west coast date...Florida would be cool, but, ugghhh...i dunno.

    yeah..i understand...since i have 2 friends going with me, the trip won't be too bad..we're going to drive unless we can get cheap airfare...and we got a decent hotel not right downtown so everything would be cheaper. I really wish they would play Seattle...
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    just my two cents.. don't kill me ..

    BUT:

    It's one thing with Lollapalooza to be a part of a very diverse music festival.. but with this being a festival 'brought to us by Busweiser and Jay-z' AND featuring FUCKING DRAKE of all people...

    this seems like a very strange mix. I'd love to see PJ any time and all.. but this seems like a very odd pairing.

    Come play Ottawa Bluesfest! :)

    I don't understand why Pearl Jam can't do a short tour or a multi-show stint in one city like Philly '09 instead of these festivals. In the past, they've played festival dates in the midst of a tour, which was great, and I love the festival experience. I go to at least one festival per year, but I understand why some people don't want to go to festivals. I love some rap music, I love a variety of music, but I want to see Pearl Jam with a Pearl Jam crowd. That's been a big part of the experience since my first PJ show in 1998 - everyone around me knowing all the songs and knowing the history of this once great touring band.

    Unlike Lollapalooza '07 or Bonnaroo '08 or Alpine Valley '11, the line-ups for these '12 festivals aren't very good, especially not this Budweiser one. "Budweiser Made in America Festival" - it makes my stomach turn. And btw, Budweiser is made in America, but most of the profits are being made in Europe.

    I'm psyched beyond words to be attending the Newport Folk Festival this year, but to see my once favorite band Pearl Jam at Budweiser Fest with a bunch of pop acts, I'd need an all-expense-paid trip for that, with free all-I-can-drink beer of a much higher quality than Bud. And free bud.

    Either this was the only feasible way for Pearl Jam to play shows in the U.S. (why would that be? I can't think of a reason.) or, as some are saying, Pearl Jam is doing this for a bigger paycheck. I'm sure the 3 festivals are psyched to get Pearl Jam, but a lot of Pearl Jam's long-time fans are pissed off today and I'm one of them. I see that a lot of people here are psyched about this fest, and I'm not here to to piss on anyone's parade. I'm just here to speak my mind about Pearl Jam, because I paid to be able to do that.

    It's very simple.

    Being the headliner of a festival, You'll make 5 to 10 times more than you would a solo show.
    And it's guaranteed. Plus you don't have to go through the logistics of setting it up.
    Win/Win for PJ & co.

    Why would a money hungry band put on their own show if they could just do festivals?

    Anyone wanna help build a swank treehouse to use during the festival?

    I reckon we'd have to build it a few days beforehand!

    Looks at if from their perspective. No new album to promote, a whole tour wouldn't be as profitable. I bet they get close to what a whole tour pulls with these appearances this year. Makes sense... it will probably pay for the album since everything is in house these days.

    My perspective. Jay-Z is fucking garbage. DRAKE? Whatever. There is no debating this. You all have been bamboozled. He sucks. Drake sucks. And Budweiser is everything wrong with corporations in America. Oh yeah and their product kills people.

    This festival looks amazing. Jay and Pearl Jam on the same stage is something I would not expect, but Im not at all surprised. Hova is one smart business man, look at how he reaches out to rockers to cross platform. He toured as an opener for U2 on their 360 Tour in Australia and for Coldplay on their Viva La Vida Tour in Europe. He was playing to crowds of 60,000 to 110,000 (Coldplay at Wembley)

    Pearl Jam and Jay are both doing this for two reasons, one being money the other branching out. Jay knows Philly loves their Pearl Jam and are guaranteed 15,000 PJ fans. On top of which he is hoping that there are x amount of those that like his music enough after seeing him to go buy some albums. Pearl Jam are looking to get some sale from Rap fans too.

    Also to those bashing Jay-Z live. He is the best rapper alive and he puts on a more rock show. He comes with a full band, and can put on one hell of a show. Pearl Jam and Jay are two of the best concerts Ive ever been too. Do not hate. I wish I could afford to go, and if I could I'd be there in a heartbeat.
