it's more fun to make fun... than your 'jamily' alternative. It's not like they don't pull off moneygrab tours through your neck of the woods every year or three. If they had stopped touring, then I could see putting together a grassroots effort to have them play somewhere. These days PJ has oversaturated our brains with sub-par albums, half-assed tours where they play drunken unrehearsed versions of every song in their catalog, so many live boots and merch and merch and merch (dog collars, playing cards, date-specific stickers, posters, etc...)... What exactly do you want to make happen that hasn't already happened?!

Fuck the jamily... I have a family to support!

What kind of dickbag finds out that an organization like that had been planning to do the same thing and not only doesn't quietly back down, but actively fights them? I would imagine a Wishlist crowdfunded show would end up being in large part to further the support for the charitable causes they've worked for years to support. And this guy wants to crowdfund one cause (essentially) it'd be cool?

SO MUCH THIS!

You guys think we could crowdfund some keyboard lessons for Boom?

Pearl Jam are our heroes and we hope they can hear our proposal and give us more detailed feedback. We want this concert in Pearl Jam's hands and by no means would want otherwise. We know they put on a show like no other. We are simply a grassroots movement that knows Pearl Jam Forest Hills would be amazing for the fans, the band, and the community. We remain faithful, as the song goes. We are the Forest Hills Faithful!

That is actually really embarrasing

Pearl Jam Fans Give Up Year-Long Campaign to Bring Band to Forest Hills

Dan Sheffer, 34, who started the campaign on crowdfunding platform Tilt.com last November, also said that the group gave up their hope because they realized that "this was not a realistic endeavor as PJ's management would not talk to us directly and openly.”

It was one of those things where you weren't charged unless the goal was reached.

Oh man, I bet there are a few people breathing a sigh of relief

1.5 for a full-on GnR revival. 1 for PJ.

Is Portugal the one place where they are as big as the U.S., or what?

I thought I heard Pearl Jam got between $2 million and $3 million for Made in America in 2012.
