afurrything Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just 10 dates including Bonnaroo. Anyone going? I have tickets to South Carolina. Not sure why I picked there. I knew I didn't want to fight for NYC since my Ten Club number is pretty high. Just have to buy plane tickets and book a hotel now. I'm flying from IL to there. Not sure if I will fly in Saturday night or Sunday, the show is Monday. It is cheaper for the airfare and hotel package if I go Saturday by more than $200 but I would probably spend that much if I was there an extra day so probably just go Sunday and come back Tuesday. I hope they add some Mid West dates and then I will do St Louis too. And will be tempted to go to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancer Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Eddy Vedder just queezes me out to no end. Such a phoney. I liked them for a minute back in the beginning of their run, but now they're too pompous for me. Could be all Eddy's fault. I dunno. His voice, like the guy from Soundgarten, just bores me.

Test4VitalSigns Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yes I agree the beginning of their career was the hilight and my fav era which would be the main reason to see them. I've seen them live and they're a great live band. I give them a lot of credit for battling Ticketmaster over ripping off fans on the price of tickets.

afurrything Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 It's Eddie, not Eddy. But yeah I will agree he is getting to be a pompous jerk. He has done some crap lately that makes me think WTF is up with him. I keep telling my daughter that I want to go see them so I can go up to him and say, you've changed, it used to be about the music. There is just something about him tho that makes me not be able to resist them. Makes me spend $1000's of $$$ to fly anywhere to see them. I am a loser.

ReRushed Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I saw Pearl Jam several times way back in the day. They were a fantastic live band. Now, they are off my radar screen. I lost interest in them around Yield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they played Madison Square Garden when Yield came out. I saw them several times before that. Randall's Island...Tibetan Freedom Concerts...I was impressed. But yeah, Eddie Vedder is a bit pompous...I think he reads too much Chomsky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 A great band. The consistency they've shown since Ten has been remarkable. Missed them the last time they played Dublin. I won't repeat that mistake. Eddie's pretty intense alright. Can't help liking the guy though. Is there a new album on the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may join you if they play Dublin sometime in the summer. It'll be more of a laugh than seeing them in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought their latest too, which i think is quite good. Saw them for the first time a couple years ago.. great show. I'd see them again for sure.

iluvgeddy05 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Saw them 8th row about 4 or 5 years back in Buffalo, NY. Show was AWESOME. I went with my friend who love Pearl Jam as much as I love Rush and she got the tix through the Ten Club. Wonder where she'll catch them this time -- she lives in NH, are they touring near there, afurrything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theworkingman Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I would LOVE to see Pearl Jam live. Alive was the song that turned me on to guitar and they would be awesome to see. To bad there not coming to Los Angeles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nappy2112 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I love Soundgarden , like Pearl Jam but no desire to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I saw the VS. tour and it was amazing. Their Madison Square Garden show on freeview was great, too. I appreciate their musicianship and range of interest, and Eddie's lyrics are thought provoking. Their appreciation for Neil Young earns them points in my book as well.

afurrything Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Here is a list of the dates and places 11-Jun West Palm Beach, FL Cruzan Amphitheatre 12-Jun Tampa, FL St. Pete Times Forum 12 to 15-Jun Manchester, TN Bonnaroo 16-Jun Columbia, SC Colonial Center 17-Jun Virginia Beach, VA Verizon Amphitheatre 19-Jun Camden, NJ Susquehanna Bank Center 22-Jun Washington, DC Verizon Center 24-Jun New York, NY Madison Square Garden 25-Jun New York, NY Madison Square Garden 27-Jun Hartford, CT Dodge Music Center 30-Jun Mansfield, MA Tweeter Center No new album before this little tour. Where in Europe? They actually did a fairly big oversea tour in 06. I don't remember all of the places they hit since I couldn't go I didn't look closely at the places. I did want to go to one of the Germany shows but figured I'd need $3000-5000 that I just didn't have at the time. I know they did several places in Italy. They hit Poland ,Denmark,Holland.

They actually did a fairly big oversea tour in 06 the uk. that 06 tour consisted almost entirely of european festival shows (and festivals are always crap) plus one date at wembley arena which they preferred to sell tickets to american ten club members than uk based non-fan club members. judging by the demand for tickets and the prices that touts were charging pearl jam could sell out multiple arena dates in the uk. i'm sure that goes for the rest of europe too. just seems they don't like us very much.
