Yeah I agree mate - I am happy just to have the ability to see my fav band- We forget that while we whinge about not getting a full tour since 4 years ago (myself included), some countries don't get anything and some people just can't afford to go no matter how much the shows are.
Feeling very excited today to have a ticket to see the greatest band in the world!!

I am way over festivals but this PJ & will be my 10th show & possibly my last so to see 10 will be perfect. Like many others i always want to see their own shows & possibly indoors as outdoors you just get to many dickheads thinking it is ok to throw a full bottle of beer but with piss in it instead. Sadly there will be your 18-19 year olds who think it is their right of passage to become cool to go to a BDO & just be there to wankers & make it uncomfortable for the ones who are actually there for the music, maybe they can be educated in some decent music instead of the rubbish of today!! We just to accept it & hope it isn't way to hot & that the band don't play at festival set & throw in some rare stuff but i wouldn't hold my breath on that one!!

BDO is well past its glory days and i wish they were playing their own tour but guys and girls get there while you can!! I got a bad feeling they may not come around again.
I missed the entire 2009 aus/nz tour due to my work touring commitments to png and now the dates have been announced i'm going to miss them again for the same reason. Id been planning on following the next tour for as many shows as i could.
search this thread..im sure Jodie and others will make some meetings
have fun

I'm almost as excited to see Mudhoney as I am to see Pearl Jam, they haven't played Adelaide in YEARS (they've skipped playing here again and again) and I've never seen 'em.

i was lucky enough to be living in canada in 2011 when pearl jam toured and mudhoney supported them. they pretty goood good sound alot of energy too
I want to see them more than anything else, having missed out on the 2009 tour and Eddie's solo tour due to illness, but I refuse to pay $185 to see one band at a god awful venue surrounded by drunken idiots.
I can't believe that people use this as an excuse, but if you want to, then so be it. You get idiots at all shows, yes, that includes PJ in an arena. The way of the world. in my 9 previous BDO's i havent been too bothered by drunken idiots.

Did you not go to the 2009 stadium tour? It wasn't much different. It was still bloody awesome though!
Exactly, it's really not that much of a change.
Frankly, I'd much rather see Mudhoney and Blur than Ben Harper, so it's kind of a win-win for me!
Agree. I think seeing Pearl Jam at the Gold Coast Big Day Out is not going to be that much different for me than seeing them at the QSAC in Brisbane in 2009. We sat on the lawn at the side during Ben Harper and Relentless 7's set and ended up getting second from the rail when PJ came on so might get lucky at BDO as well.
Ticket Bought.
Sydney Monday Show Like a Boss Ticket bought.
Hopefully few less people about but if fellow ten clubbers around cool as.
Lineup is not all bad lets just hope people don't wreck it for the fans..
That's my only reservation but hey can't not See Pearl Jam only reason I listen to music.
Suck it up guys. If PJ are your favourite band, as they have been for me for more than 20 years, then you should make the effort to see them.
Live in the moment.
Remember they don't tour Australia that often and they are getting older so this could (oh but I hope not) be their last Australian tour. It will also be a new experience for me seeing them in a festival setting.
I saw them first play in 1995 at Eastern Creek and they (and I) have come a long way since then. I was hoping to take my 6 year old girl the next time PJ toured Australia but alas I will have to wait until hopefully PJ will be back here doing their own shows.
Hopefully I'll see a big 10C contingent up front with me in Sydney.
I'm still not sure if I should brave going to the BDO or not...but for those of you who have been in recent years, what was your experience with the D-barrier. Was it hard to get into that area? How uncomfortable were you in there?

Last time I went was in 2012, at GC.
It wasn't hard early in the day, before the sun started going down. Later it is hard because you have to come in from the top middle. If it is full you can't get in, security won't let you past. I've never had a problem, but I have never wanted to be as close as I will want to be for PJ.

I didn't find last year hard at all but then I have never attempted the rail at a BDO. It got crowded for RHCP but I found everyone very respectful and watching out for each other

My thoughts are by 4pm you want to be in there looking for a spot and as bands switch stages between sets, hopefully people will move out and you can move in?!?

"With Pearl Jam on the bill, crowd safety is of paramount concern this year. In a live Q&A with the NZ Herald earlier today, Campbell Smith confirmed that the festival will employ a new “punter-friendly” barrier system in 2014, said to be very different to the D-shaped barrier of previous years."
I hope everyone has a good time and I hope it goes well.
But for my wife (Stardust1976) and I, we will not be going. I guess I can add BDO to the list of things that disappoint me about the 'new' Pearl Jam.
The best analogy to describe how I feel about them now is when a couple gets divorced once the kids are done with high school. Its different now, the feelings you had growing up with your parents and then finding out that they didn't really love each other enough to stay together. It all feels like maybe it wasn't real, it was all an act.
That's how I feel about Pearl Jam these days. They can do what they want, but I don't have to blindly follow, I don't have to think they have my best interest at heart. For whatever reason they appear to be much more interested in making as much money as quickly as possible then they used to.
As I said, I hope it goes well for everyone, but as much as I love(d) Pearl Jam, its not enough for me to go against my own thoughts and feelings of festivals.

Off topic, but:

Yeah, sure! PJ for $100 in this country? It was $130 in 09, it was $90 in 03 you must be dreaming

I found this picture taken by the company who setup the barriers last year...I wonder how difficult it would be to get in the D-barrier during PJ's set?

Hopefully this is for the Australian BDO as well
So once you go in the D-barrier, I guess you're just stuck there waiting eh?
It would be pretty annoying to get in there in the early afternoon, and then have to leave to go to the loo or something!

Did you read the article I posted above? It sounds as though they could have a different setup with the barriers in 2014.
Sorry, I should have written barrier, not D-barrier...I didn't read the article, just read the quote that you posted.
I wonder what kind of system they'll use instead...
