    I just thought of something.
    We all know they are gonna play the south, but what if they are saving Texas and other places skipped for like a 10- 20 date Vote for change tour in 2008? I really think this is what they might do, assuming that Lolla is really the only U.S. tour date, but then again this tour has been announced so strange nowadays. Anyways, Pj please play the South.

    I think that is pretty lame. I wish they did not need a political agenda to come to the south.

    From 91-2003 they did not need an agenda. Except to promote a new album or play for fans who love their music.

    Oh, I agree that it is totally lame trust me. I just came up with that because they skipped the entire south, and not just certain cities. The whole "we don't sell enough tickets" thing is pretty stupid too. If they really believe that they don't make enough down here, then I see them either doing some vfc type thing with multiple bands, or a co headlining tour. I really wish they would just play shows and not worry about the money. Bands like styx still tour constantly and never sell out shows, but always play anywhere. I hope we see them soon though regardless. If it is smaller venues then fine, but the only place that didn't sell well was Birmingham Alabama. If audience turn out is that big of a problem, then they don't have to play there. Pearl jam makes alot more money than most bands. Simply becaue they got smart and decided to release bootlegs cause they know those would sell. Many other bands tour religiously around, and make plenty of money and don't even sell boots.

    Yea I don't buy the "we can't make money in the South" excuse. It's just not the case. I guess we're just not high priority down here.

    look at genesis tour and the police how many shows are they playing in the south. Police doing 2 in fla and church hill downs but no hot atlanta or carolinas. Bands play for dough but I doubt that is why we got gyped. Hopefully when they do come south they will make us proud by doing a boston or seattle show with an acoustic set

    Thats all I ask for

    they did as many shows as their bodies could handle....unfortunately we didn't get any of them.....I doubt they'll do another vote for change tour...the idiot is ending his term...and the American people are just a wee bit wiser...but I do have this vibe that they will come see us......if not...we will have to travel...I will. Just watched shows posted from Arnheim Holland....great stuff if you haven't already looked.

    Haven't checked it out yet, but I will when I get home. I just hope they do a warm up show or benefit sometime because i'm not too keen on going to Lolla

    Yeah I hope there is a Seattle Benefit show at like Key arena or Beneroya Hall again this year, cause if there is I am going. I have always wanted to go to Seattle, but I can't go to Seattle without seeing a Pearl jam show there.

    Another thing that really bums me about no south dates (and this may sound stupid) but some of the members have relatives in the south. It's just kind of weird not to play in areas where you have family after you have done it the previous years. I wonder if the South would have gotten some dates had the band still been on Epic Records. It's just strange how the tour fell into place on the new record company. I'm not bashing anyone or anything just saying and making a simple observation.
