Atlanta 2025

“Fuck it, I’ll pay for it!”

Ed right before the band kicks into RITFW at the end of their 2012 show at Midtown! My 8th show and first after 6 years, and can you believe my first time hearing them play RITFW?! I was freaking out!

Second time I’ve heard Ed say screw the curfew, we will pay it (I know they do it plenty), but it was especially nice in my hometown! Loved hearing them pack as much as they could into a 2 hour festival set. I listened to the boot over the last two days at work as I packed up my office and wound things down for the summer (school’s out!). Nice way to end the school year!

PJ, come back and give me a new hometown boot to close out the year with!

BUMP 

Have already started show season this year (for those who are so inclined, Dead and Co was incredible Sunday) and I am excited at even the slightest possibility that Pearl Jam will be here again at some point. 

Maybe Music Midtown runs their entrance thru Park Tavern

Sucks that the last time they played here was Music Midtown 2012. Piedmont Park is a great setting for a festival, but the restroom options suck! If you're in g-pop, you have to wait an hour to get into a porta potty. At least it seems that way! Luckily we had some "clients" who we could "entertain" at MM, so we bought VIP tickets for $1,200 a pop or something absurd like that. Paid for by my company. So we got all-you-can-drink beer and special, air-condititioned restrooms with no wait. Haven't been back to MM since!

$1,200 a pop to poop

And AYCD beers! All on the company's dime!

Someone mentioned The Tabernacle. And of course, there's no way that could happen unless tix were astronomical. But it reminded me that I saw Foo Fighters at the freakin' Tabernacle! It was 2007 (I had to Google it to remember the year). And they were WAY too big to be playing at that venue. The rest of that Echoes tour took place in arenas and amphitheaters.

Dave played/sang a song while standing on the bar right in front of me (interrupting my drink order). Probably one of my favorite concerts ever.

Bump for Atlanta! Or come out to Duluth to Gas South arena. Then, I can get fresh tamales (mole) and homemade tortilla chip nachos (al pastor) at La Mixteca before the show! So good!

That would be too perfect. That place is so small, I doubt they’d play there (or at least it seems small).

Pretty similar to Greenville I assume. So there is hope! But to cater to Atlanta… yeah probably too small

U2 played at Gwinnett Arena in 2018. Springsteen, Foo Fighters, and RHCP have played there also.
I think it’s a definite possibility.
Of course I’m biased because it’s 7 minutes from where I live.

With 97.7 playing plenty of PJ and the reborn 99X, who might could promote the show, I’m super confident for 2024! Let’s go!

I would absolutely appreciate that! Variety Playhouse is my favorite venue. Then a residency! One can dream.

I’d also attend an in store at Criminal Records while we are wishing.

I think you won, but I enjoyed the fight..hope you did too...1, 2,3, 4..
