Stockholm '14, maybe waited 2 min after I picked up my tickets an hour before the show.  Oslo the next day there was no line, but I was in the GA line, and walked over to the merch table as they opened. 

scandinavia is so easy at merch..i still didnt stop at merch even there was no line ..
funny was both shows i got rail and walk in 15 min before show time

You got front row 15 minutes before Pearl Jam came on?

yeah,,on the side..stone side..was so easy..peole are so cool in scandinavia when isnt death metal show..lol

I'm going to go in another direction away from the Europe speculations, and go back to US for a moment. CalJam18 was announced yesterday.....do we think Pearl Jam would possibly play this festival? One thought is that they might not since they wouldn't be the headliners, obviously Foo Fighters would be. Any other thoughts on this?

I don't think PJ plays anything but as headliners, so no.

That's kind of what I was thinking as well, but I just wanted to throw it out there and see what everyone else thought.

Went this year and had a great time. Mostly went to see QOTSA and Japandroids and was pretty much front row for both. Well organized festival with a great vibe. Hotter than ballz at noon though.

It seemed like a great lineup, but I'll bet it was a scorcher that day. Yikes!

I almost got a pic from Mike at a show in Chicago (Allstate Arena - 2000 I think). It went right over me and only 1 person was close by. I tried to fend him off while my ex wife snagged it. She didn't and I missed out. I'd rather have had the pic than her.



Almost shook Eddies hand after a solo Chicago show. He was literally looking right at me and shook the hand of the person next to me. Close. BUUUUTTTTT......I was at game 7 of the 2016 World Series with Ed, and even though he was on the field celebrating afterwards, he looked our way as he walked past and we chanted his name. He smiled, pumped his fist and kept walking. As that night was a highlight of my life...quite possibly the best moment. Literally the only way it could have been topped would have been to be photographed with him and Bryzzo on the field. Oh well, I'd say I still got pretty lucky after all.

The far sides of the floor.  Great places to see the show.  Easy in and out for beer/bathroom runs.  Still very close to the stage, and at Oslo 2014 McCready leaned into the crowd right in front of us.

oslo side rail was awesomne,..we even have cold tap water next to the rail!!

I recall you coming in and walking around folks on Mikes side before the show started. At the time I didn’t know who you were. I was in the middle with the Strangest Tribe banner folks in Oslo. Then had Ed stand up in front of me. My first and only time that close.
