it's official at pearljam.com now. and My Morning Jacket opening!!! awesome. no Texas dates yet.

quote:

---

they played Houston, Dallas and SA in 2003, and they like playing outside, so I wouldn't be surprised to see all 3 on the tour.

---

San Antonio - and to a lesser extent, Dallas - did not sell well in 2003.

huh, that's weird. in 2003, houston was pretty packed, and in 2000 they played 2 shows here (though I think that's because something with an Austin / SA date fell through)

San Antonio sold worst of the tour I believe, perhaps the worst of several tours. I'd be surprised if they ever played there again.

danw95 - that's why I only said that SA and Dallas didn't sell well, and didn't mention Houston.

More news...

The second leg US tour will be announced in the next month, and the Australian tour later this summer.

Keegan99, you seem very knowledgeable. Do you know if you purchase fan club tickets for a first leg show does this void you from purchasing fan club tickets for a second leg show?

I think it used to be this way (i.e. one show allowed per tour), but I missed the '03 tour.

Nope. You can purchase Ten Club tickets to as many shows as you'd like.

BTW, if anyone wants a soundboard of the 11/30/1993 Vegas show, send me a PM or email dkeegan at aggies dot com.

The SA show seemed packed...interesting.

The back part of the lawn was empty.

btw, My Morning Jacket opening is awesome, almost as much as Sleater Kinney last time. Saw MMJ a few years ago and they seem like a good band to open for PJ, lots of rock, lots of hair.

Sleater Kinney was a good opener, but I got pretty tired of them corrupting PJ's encores with guest appearances.

The version of 'Fortunate Son' they did at the Woodlands in '03 was an absolute abortion.

personally, I loved it. But i'm a S-K fan.

I like their stuff too, but Corin's vocals SUCKED.

Holy crap, how did I miss that MMJ is opening!?
I really can't afford to hit one of these first leg shows... boo.

Sweet I will be at the Chicago show.

I liked Sleater Kinney

Better than Death Cab for Cutie on VFC

Did the ****ing Christmas single come out already? I still don't have mine.

Also, when did they start calling it a holiday single. F'ing PJ, you would think they didn't have to be PC.

I got mine yesterday

10 Jul Dallas Texas Smirnoff Music Center
11 Jul Houston Texas Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion

If this is true (source?), nothing like a cool night in July to see a show.

Those dates are fake.

that's what i was thinking. Keegan, what's your best guess? Sept / Oct? Would they ACL fest it too, now that everyone does it?

forget ACL, I guess after Roskilde, they'll never do something like that again.

No way they do a festival.

I have no idea when to expect them in these parts. July or August sounds about right after a month layoff between legs.

how do you buy tickets if you are not in the ten club?

wait for them to go on sale to the general public

oh yeah

there is no way PJ could do the ACL.

Did everyone in the 10 club get their newsletter?

Has everyone gotten their Xmas single?

Did anyone else get the change of address ****** email who sent it to the listserv?

Frigging XMAS single...in MAY?? JUN??

No newsletter for me, or the single. Last year it was post easter, wasnt it?

I got that e-mail too, what a chucklehead.

How long have yall been in the ten club? I joined in 2001, never really liked Ten or Vs, Vitalogy was good but didn't pay attn to them till a cousin played no Code for me and I was hooked. After seeing the 2000 show, and getting hooked on the bootlegs, I joined, and even though I'm late I had 10th row ctr for the 03 show. You definitely get your money's worth. And was able by e-maiing 10 club and they sent me old christmas singles for shipping costs, I think back to 95.

Song gets better when you can follow the lyrics

WORLDWIDE SUICIDE
(lyrics: Vedder, music: Gossard)

I felt the earth on Monday. It moved beneath my feet.
In the form of a morning paper. Laid out for me to see.

Saw his face in a corner picture. I recognized the name.
Could not stop staring at the. Face I'd never see again.

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over

It's the same everyday in a hell manmade
What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?

The whole world...World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.

Medals on a wooden mantle. Next to a handsome face.
That the president took for granted.
Writing checks that others pay.

And in all the madness. Thought becomes numb and naive.
So much to talk about. Nothing for to say.

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

Laying claim to the take that our soldiers save
Does not equate, and the truth's already out there

The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.

The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.

Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You got to know there's another, another, another, another
Another way

It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over

It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.

The whole world,... World over.
It's a worldwide suicide.

I've been in the club since about 1996, always great seats... within 5 rows or so.
I expect to move up a bit with the new ticketing system, I was never interested in waiting all day to be at the front of the line.

What's your #?

I'm in the 157XXX range.
