This is the Annual Oracle (software, hardware, technology) User Conference. At the end of each conference, there is a large appreciation concert for Oracle's customers. Last year, Sting and Tom Petty played... previous years included Black Eyed Peas, Aerosmith, and others.

Before you get all worked up about corporate events, do your research and understand the significant positive impact that this event has on the Bay Area as well as the means that Oracle goes through to source local food and hire local staff to cover these events. Oracle does an outstanding job of adhering to "green" standards while putting on this event as well.

Please also realize that all of Oracle's products are designed to automate processes and increase efficiencies. Whether is hardware that uses less energy or software that allows companies to more effectively manage their fleets and transportation costs (gas), there are some good thing going on.

Is Oracle a large corporation, yes. I am an employee of Oracle, yes. Am I long time Pearl Jam fan, yes (110,xxx). When all parties are responsible, can this work, yes?

I see what you're saying but it's a still a corporate event that PJ is playing.. PJ are SUPPOSED to be all about anti corporate greed and whatnot.. this shows the opposite regardless of their green stance or hiring locally.

I think I just got the go ahead to attend this year if I want to

peacefrompaul · August 2012

Let me just take out a quick loan.

Empty Glass · August 2012

Is Oracle hiring? Would love to attend this.

I'm at the age where I could give two shits if the band plays corporate gigs. As long as they are playing a show, I'm happy.

I'd much rather a corporate gig than a "like us on Facebook to order Pre-sale tickets" type show

I'd be less cynical about the whole thing if it didn't feel like they were going to try to evade the fact that they're playing this. What are the odds that this ever gets an official "news" mention on the site, or a spot in the concert chronology?

If this is the way they want to carry themselves fine. But own up to it.

RAH RAH CORPORATE FUCKFEST.

Cosmo · August 2012

I'm working whatever angles i can.
We have an army of Oracle DBAs here at work... with most of them being in either the "Who's Pearl Jam?" or the "They're Getting Back Together?" camp. I'm hoping to 'borrow' their credentials and sneak into the gig if I can't get an outright pass from my boss.

Princess Bulldozer · August 2012

If someone wants to take me as a their 1+, I will buy you a free drink from the free bar on the evening.

What more could you want from a night? A sarcastic Australian girl and Pearl Jam?

:crazy: I'll do my best but I'm not going to get called out by Eddie for texting during the show, even though I'm sure there will be a lot of that going on at this type of event, hahaha. Should we get a relay sign-up going for this?

No worries! Just record the show for us and then share the show and the set list here when you get back from the show

Agree, but perhaps we are all in an alternate reality? Are Creed and Good Charlotte the opening bands?
