If Pearl Jam finally decided to play Houston again, I'd go in a heartbeat. If I wasn't a regular on this board, I would be oblivious to everything you all are bitching about. I'd be the guy in the merch line just trying to buy a blue shirt when Thumbing My Way gets played. :haha:

Except in the context of a series of concerts played in Mansfield, MA from 15-18 years ago. :arrow:

The only time I was ever in Texas was for pj in Dallas and while it was an interesting setlist, pointed lecturing from the stage aside, I wouldn’t be running back to that town for anything.
Bring on Houston or Austin and I’m there.

I saw a lot of people busting out their best gears too PJ backpacks, socks, vintage shirts from 1993.... all of it. Usually more than one item PJ hat and shirt at once. My favorites were people who bought merch early in the week, before the shows, and were walking around in their new merch. When two would come across each other:

1- “hey, PJ shirt huh? Are you going to the shows?”
2- “yeah, can’t wait”
1- “ one or both shows?”
2- “both!!!!”
1- “ yeah me too, are you GA?”
2- “ yeah!!!”
1- “me too.... well, have a great show”

Repeat 1000 times. I don’t get it, and quite frankly embarrassed to be in a city with so much culture and so much to do than to spend my entire days talking about PJ and standing out as a tourist. Then I see the Pit has a T-shirt planning thread for Chicago:

https://community.pearljam.com/discussi ... ley#latest

Not to mention all the people that need to wear PJ shirts and gear to the concert.
I drove up for the show Friday, and stayed around Seattle on Saturday. I couldn't believe how many people were wearing PJ shirts/hats.

Even worse was the amount of shirts at the show. The worst were either the personalized Mariners/Cubs jerseys or these things:

I saw probably a dozen variations of this shirt around Chicago this weekend. Ugh.

I was gonna ask the same thing... I was there..

The WMD joke was lame, but Bush did live there, which is most likely why the band didn't return afterwards for a decade! All the Dallas shows 1993 through 2003 were very memorable and had great crowds...

There's really no reason to like big D, though!

I lived there for 35 years! still have to go there to see family about once per year, although after my time there this summer, I proclaimed never again.

Dallas is all about commerce, who can have the biggest home, the biggest tits, the nicest Lexus suv, etc... just a lot of zombies living to work.

Dallas is so far removed from the Texas I’m familiar with.

yeah, but Houston sucks, too!

West of Austin... Lake Travis, the TX Hill Country... that's where it's at.

I'm pretty on the fence about wearing Pearl Jam t-shirts. I wouldn't go out of my way to do it, but we all need a t-shirt on right? Reminds me of the colours debate in sports. I don't tend to wear them anymore but have been tempted to start doing it again just to get at the casual, danny dyer wannabe, "if you're working class you vote Tory" twats.
So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.

The thing I remember about this show was the dude who wore a hat with scrolling LEDs, and he programmed it so he could type song requests. He kept trying to get the band to play Sleight of Hand for a while. It was great. They didn’t play it, but it was still great.
