Most people coming to this show are Ten Club members. I would imagine a lot of tickets will be given away through radio stations to make the arena full. Why not reward the fan club with a really cool show?

Why punish those who ARE there and made the extra effort?
(The only way to punish those who don't come is to make them regret it!)

This was the only 2000 west leg show I missed, and still regret it. I was home making a custom shirt for Footsteps, to wear to the following show. And of course, they played Footsteps in Fresno...

Hopefully they will at least play it again.
(Though I know Ed keeps track of songs played in each city...Exception please!)

Rewarding sub par cities that can't sell seats with album shows is bad form. People want to be at those shows. My opinion (which is irreleavnt) is it would be awesome for a city that had to wait. LA1, 2, phx or oakland1/2 would be rad. SD gets enough cool things!

I think vitalogy, riot act, backspacer, LB, Gigaton?

I think Vitalogy or RA would be hits. The others .. maybe..?

Best to punish these subpar cities.

They got a PJ show. Count their blessings! Better then hundreds of other places! Not rewarding them with something extra is now punishment

right? gotta love this place.

Not right. Bad reading.

I'm agreeing with jimjam.

I know. You agreed with the bad reading. No one is suggesting that "not rewarding them with something extra is now punishment." Instead, someone is mocking a) calling the cities "subpar;" and 2) the notion that some shows should be "rewarded" and others shouldn't.

don't think i read this wrong. this exchange is what i find amusing.

I should have clarified subpar sales in these cities as to not drag the city.

I think there was some misinterpretation or bad reading. It sure made me feel foolish that my comments were found to be so amusing. But I'll get over it.

To clarify:

I'D RATHER BE said that most people coming to this show were 10c, and why not reward the fan club with a really cool show.

I merely said that I was hoping for this.

(Who's Not hoping for a cool fan club show?)

I then reacted to another post that basically said that places with low ticket sales shouldn't get nice things. That's what I was referring to when I said "Why punish those who ARE there, and made the extra effort?"
I never said that not getting something extra is a punishment. I just objected to the idea that those who Did buy tickets are considered undeserving because of those who Didn't buy tickets! (low sales)
I thought perhaps the fans that made the extra effort to go to this out of the way town would be the ones this show is aimed at, not those who didn't.
And maybe play a show that those who didn't attend would wish they had gone to.

I never thought I would spend so much time defending Fresno, lol ! I'd never be going there if it weren't for PJ!

Its all good
Peace!

When I lived in Manhattan, I traveled to these tertiary cities for shows like PJ, McCartney, etc. even with hotel and plane fare, still far cheaper.

Strummer's in Fresno is a cool little place to see an intimate live music event.

Like, really cool if Pearl Jam had a "secret show" for 10C members, in my dreams, lol...

I'D RATHER BE · May 2022

They seem to really like to play the Gigaton songs. If they were to play the whole thing, this would be the place to do that or any other album!

NO! Vitalogy!!

*Edit: (Wishful thinking to be sure).

But if they do "greatest hits", no one will ever go back to Fresno again.

Reiterating the take that they should totally do it backwards. Walk onstage to Stupid Mop, open with Immortality. Gradual buildup to Last Exit.

Well, things have changed with Matt being out.
Anything well played will be a good show.
Since they've already played Immortality and Nothingman, (and of course Better Man, Corduroy, Not For You), I would settle for *Last Exit* with a possible bonus of Spin the Black and Whipping.

But full album plus Footsteps, Alone, and Crown of Thorns, would be "died and gone to heaven" territory.

Definitely possible. Word on the street is they’re gonna play Backspacer.

I've heard all of Backspacer live except 'Gonna See My Friend' (fingers crossed for Vegas). I think it plays well live, I'm getting all excited just thinking about it.

I'D RATHER BE · May 2022

We can only hope for something awesome!

Same here! I did finally see Footsteps elsewhere, but missing that show is exactly why I’m making the drive this year. I just have a feeling it’ll be worth it. 🙏🏻

True. Heard that in Baltimore I think. Sounded great live. Hope you get it.

Right now, I'll just be happy if they play the whole show.....and open with Dirty Frank.....and then play Riot Act front to back. Not hoping for much tomorrow. No matter what, I will be in GA having the time of my life!!!!!

What better way to make people think twice about passing on a show like Fresno than to do something special at this show? It's less "reward" and more "marketing".
