The only Pearl Jam show I've seen was 9/26/96 way the hell up in Augusta, Maine. It was a memorable show, not only because it was an incredible performance, but for the fact that Dennis Rodman was there and during "Alive" he came out onstage and put Ed up on his shoulders...

I passed on that show and used my fan club option that tour (back then you could only buy for one show) for Randall's Island NY (what a dump Downing Stadium is, and trafic snarls that make Foxboro look like a breeze) cause it was a Saturday, so I missed Rodman, but got John Popper playing Harmonica during "Evenflow" instead.

I've seen the 14 times, will hit shows 15-17 next month.
Its the only band that I'd have a dilemma about who to see if they and U2 were both playing shows on the same night.

Very different from U2, no stage show whatsoever, just about music and energy. (And widely varying setlists)

They're on my list of bands to see before I die. I'm pissed I missed them last time, and unfortunately can't make it this time, so...

I like Pearl Jam well enough. I have always loved Tom Petty though.

I'm going to have to check for Canadian dates.

*crosses fingers*

i wish tom petty would play dates in canada but he hasn't in quite a few years. he basically plays in the US and that's it. but i'm crossing my fingers for this one too.

i dont' really care for pearl jam and didn't bother getting tickets to see them play the ACC but i wouldn't mind seeing them with tom.

Since Pearl Jam already has two LA shows in July is it even possible that they'd do another with Tom Petty here or even add him to the bill even though tickets are already on sale?

I'd love to go to the PJ show but I'd love even more to see them both

Rumored European Pearl Jam dates: (Not with Petty)

>2006-08-18 Hasselt-Kiewit Belgium Pukkelpop festival
>2006-08-19 Biddinghuizen Netherlands Lowlands festival

Hmm... Pukkelpop (near Maastricht) and/or Lowlands (never been there either)...

>2006-10-03 Antwerp Belgium Sportpaleis
>2006-10-04 Amsterdam Netherlands Heineken Music Hall

And these look very good too. Hopefully there won't be a curse of ending the tour in the Netherlands. Venue looks good too. Now I only need to get tickets for it...

Denver is only about 4 hours away from my town.

I like both of these bands.

My dad noticed this the other day and was really excited about it.

I'm thinking we should go check out a Denver show .

Well, the U2 shows in the Arena's over the past few years have been about primarily music and energy. There has not been much stage drama since the 1990s.

Pearl Jam are a great band. In my view the second best live band out there next to U2 as well as one of only a very few artist I'd be willing to see multiple times on the same tour.

It took them nearly two weeks to sellout both Continental Arena shows, so I doubt they are going to add anything in the New York City area unless the 2nd night down in Camden sells out. They did do four area New York City shows on the last tour though. There is a chance they could eventually sellout a third show, but not a fourth show. Since Jones Beach is smaller(about 12,000 I think), perhaps they could pull off two shows there.

Joining 10club before the European leg is announced would just about guarantee you good seats as there are not nearly as many European 10 clubbers as there are American. Might be worth a $25 investment.
Once the dates are announced however you're SOL.

[Popmartijn]

There aren't? Not even Dutchies?

This is "official" rumor pit info from May of 2004, I'm sure the numbers have changed a bit, but I'd say you only have a few hundred max in the Netherlands at this point:

from the rumor pit 57
Q: How many members does Ten Club have in each European country?
A: U.K. 825, Italy 400, Germany 290, Netherlands 220, Spain 120, Portugal 120, Sweden 100, Norway 100, France 100, Ireland 80, Belgium 70, Denmark 65, Switzerland 59, Poland 40, Greece 30, Finland 28, Czech Republic 8.

Would Holmdel, NJ qualify?
Either that or Albany
