It's because unless he's piggybacking off something posted by half a dozen others, it's always bad info. Then he gets hostile when you call it out. I honestly don't know what the deal is.Bunting10 said:
Really not sure the problem you and a few others have with Vedpunk. He clearly does have some sources for that part of the country. Sometimes rumored shows look good then plans change (see Canada 2025 so far, hopefully it changes for the better) I’m all for more people with sources being vocal.pjl44 said:

There was at least one guy who posted he made bookings off that "intel." Hopefully it was refundable. Unless he likes Gwen and DMB.0

It's not very labor intensive. I have excellent recall and attention to detail. It's served me well professionally, but I appreciate the concern. Easily transfers to weird areas like this or remembering baseball players. Things like "the Padres have a high risk farm" and "username vedpunk posts fugazi info" just stick.vedpunk said:
Thanks, I can always count on your constant shade. You really seem to have it out for me. Maybe redirect your energy on some purpose in your life vs living on a message board all day.pjl44 said:

My Bet is Sphere, international destination, amazing venue... video in DM tour lines up for use of displays. Vegas is more of a destination that would bring in more people... the venue fee would be one reason not do Vegas.. follow the money..pjl44 said:

I believe PJ44 was citing that old post by Vedpunk as an example of Vedpunk’s inconsistent track record as alleged by PJ44.craigraether said:

I don't. He's posted plenty since the Lovin' Life post and I didn't have anything to say until it played out. We've also had friendly exchanges in other threads.Bunting10 said:

There are venue holds and festival negotiations. We are booking Pearl Jam. Only to have those plans fall through or change. Personally, I do not believe any of the rumors until there is an announcement.0

I could definitely be wrong, but you might be thinking of 2010 when instead of a 2nd show in Boston, they played Newark.

This is usually true for me, as I've heard that it becomes far too crowded.RatherStarved said:Jazz Fest is an easy one to pass on.
Though, I would be tempted to go with Pearl Jam headlining.
New Orleans is a wonderful city to visit. Amazing food. Cool people (mostly).I'm spinning, oh-oh-oh I'm spinning0 -
The less the better. Is an awesome venue. Weather is good. Locales are better. The most welcoming group you’ve ever met. Get to see awesome “under the radars” like Better than Ezra, Cowboy Mouth, and future stars. A lot of funds go to local charities and it is a great cash infusion to an area that needs it. Do yourself a favor.MikeDigs said:

Will certainly consider if Pearl Jam headlines. Got some great friends in New Orleans, and we like to visit that beautiful city.wbutler29 said:

You def don't have to sell me on it. Unless you were speaking to the one's that said it was an "easy pass".
As a music lover, Jazz Fest has always been on my radar. But I was put off by the talks of it being too crowded.
The food and culture alone are reasons enough to visit New Orleans. Add Pearl Jam to the mix and it's a strong temptation for sure.I'm spinning, oh-oh-oh I'm spinning0 -
Any festival has to be viewed as a party with Pearl Jam as the house band IMHO. I have not been to NOLA in many, many years, but I am sure I would enjoy a beer, some gumbo, and hearing live music lying on a blanket far from stage.0
