QuoteDidn't PJ have issues with ticketmaster or something about tickets and outrageous prices?
the prices you're seeing are for 2 tickets...

and yes, yes they did, no other bands would step up to the plate to join their fight. REM almost did.

look on ticketmaster.com and show me how many arena shows you find where the closest ticket/best seat int he house is under $50, you won't find many, and if you do it won't be a great band like PJ who puts on 2.5+ hours shows night after night and changes up the setlists every night.

that was back in the mid 90's around when No Code came out.  They (well Jeff) testified that ticketmaster was basically a monoply.
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree.
The wind rose up set him down on his knee.
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw.
Deliver him wings,

Its a good thing I wore my diaper today.

Fuck, could this get any better?

The only way this could be topped?  If they were both opening for led zep.  And that, well... you know.  So we are now left with 2 of the 3 best bands that ever existed, playing together.  God, I hope they do some shit together.  I'd even settle for Jim on rockin in the free world if that was all I can get.

Its funny that some people still have reservations about Pearl Jam..even after years worth of great material..but this is the absolute greatest combination on a bill, this is a dream come true..truly, MMJ will stun a lot of Pearl Jam fans, and vice versa..for those of us who already like both, this is unbelievable.

some people just don't like PJ, i don't think that's a crime.  i've tried, ive listened to every one of their albums numerous time, and they don't do it for me.  no harm in that, it just leaves a better seat at the show for someone else.   ;)

When do you think tickets will go on sale?

He can taste his blood,
An' blood never lies,
Pale face die. - Kiedis

Its too bad PJ's taping policy blows and its going to be a PITA to pull some decent tapes of these shows.

As far as I know PJ has an extremely OPEN taping policy.  It shouldn't be difficult in any sort of way.  I remember reading one time that they were second only to the Dead at one point as far as being the most bootleged band.  Did they policy change recently?

well, not to thrilled with this news. seems kinda lame to me. pj lost all relevance about six years ago. the last two albums, i didn't find them to be very good at all. this all feels like a (small) step backward. then again, i'm selfish and i wanted another headlining tour.

and i really don't understand how all you guys are ecstatic over this!!!; shorter sets, soaring ticket prices, and a headliner it seems most of you guys have seen before or heard a thousand times; its not like you guys are going for the new songs, or are you?

don't get me wrong, i'm happy mmj has this opportunity and it will be beneficial to them, and i'm happy for 'the boys,' but i just can't shake this feeling....it's just lame.  i don't really see them as an opening band anymore, least of all for pj. but that's me.

overall, the welfare of 'the boys' is most important to me, so i'll deal with it.

 MMJ, go rock the FUCK out of those pj fans!!! i hope eddie and co. realize what a mistake they just made.

oh well. i guess i'm gonna have to consider nashvegas.

oh and $120 is a fucking joke. two tickets or noe.
You need it.  That's for sure.

i'm a huge pearl jam fan.  they've been my favorite bands for years.  i've seen them countless times in concert.  I got into MMJ almost 9 months ago and i've only seen them once in concert- philly, last october.  they were great.  they fucking melted my face off.  the engergy was amazing and i told a lot of people that they actually reminded me A LOT of pearl jam- not the overall "sound," but the energy, the heart, and the vibe.  i think a lot of peal jam fans don't know much about MMJ, but will be blown away by their power and conviction when they hear them play.  this is a great way to introduce a lot of fans to them.  i'm sporting a hard-on thinking about the two bands actually jamming out together.  all that being said, i'm curious about a lot of people's posts that have a militant-type air about them.  why does it seem like a lot of you want MMJ to musically attack PJ?  didn't PJ choose this band for a reason?  so why do you want MMJ to embarrass them by being on the same stage?  what's your fucking beef?  
i'm curious how many of you have seen PJ in concert.  MMJ is amazing live, but if you think for one second that they're going to "blow pearl jam off the stage," you're delusional.
but i done went and plum forgot it

I've seen PJ at least 5 times live.  I agree with you.  I have always thought they were great live.  I think it is going to be one hell of a tour.
If you don't know for yourself, how could you ever know for me....
