So is the “Black Eyed Pears” an actual group? I love them already…

Pearl Jam played Mansfield, MA after the Madison Square shows (which were in June, not July). Do some research, please.

i dont see where it says black eyed pears…but that name sounds better than their actual one

Are people still paying $250+ ticket prices for festivals, these days?

actually Wrong, their last show last year was a charity one at the Beacon Theatre, NY, on July 1st…though you’d be forgiven for not knowing since it was never announced or even acknowledged by the band’s fan club.

Yup, Mansfield, I was there… Bonnaroo also – was huge! some 90K came just to see PJ. I sure hope some EARLIER August dates are due on the west Coast this time!

To answer Alex’s question, if there’s a payment increment plan, damn right I will. For Pearl Jam, Mars Volta AND the Beasties? Hell yes.

Wow, I need to be there.

i AM SO GOING!!!!…

Looks cool. Good to see the Mars Volta, one of the best progressive rock bands of this decade and Pearl Jam, one of the greatest alternative bands ever. Pearl Jam sadly are starting to loose their tightness as a band with all the politics and lack of memorable songs this decade, but as long as they play their old stuff it should be great.

Pearl jam is one of the tightest bands ever! How many bands have you ever seen live? There isn’t to many better….

Hope they can keep the power on during sets this year

I’d live to see Pearl Jam again, but I won’t sit through a ton of worthless bands to do it.

Please no more Dave Matthews. Please take your beer gut, receding hairline and loose fit Gap khakis and get lost. We’ve had enough of your white bread sound.

I hope Pearl Jam and the Dead Weather play the same night. I’d kill to see a jam with Pearl Jam and Jack White. That’d make the festival unbeatable and that would be tough to follow.

No unjam bands.

Ween shred! Sonic Youth is missing though?

I Love You!!!

I agree with those who say enough with Dave Matthews.
I felt sick when I found out Stevie Nicks’ great new song was a cover of his.
OK so maybe he wrote a good song but he still can’t sing.

who cares

Dave Matthews is a complete douchebag.

If Dave Matthews has to be onstage every single day of his life why doesn’t he go to another country and ‘perform’ there for a few years.

^^Uh huh

To all the people talking &%^$ about DMB, I want to see your lifes accomplishments. What harm has he brought to this world?? Analyzing something critically is much less ignorant than saying “DM is a douche bag”…

My advice to anyone bothered by Dave Matthews is remember Creed.
There are many many worse bands out there than Dave Matthews. DMB music is actually rather sophisicated. Even the Beatles never got near the complexity of Dave Matthews music.

DMB sucks…period

DM is a douche bag

Creed were not a bad band. They were very commercial, but their songs hold up and still get radio play. Yes, we all know Scott Stapp had all the Amy Winehouse problems, but he was a very good singer. And for the people who call them a Pearl Jam rip-off( yes I’m talking about you too Rolling Stone who by the way put them on the cover of their magazine once) are just looking for a reason to hate them. I’m a Pearl Jam fan and a Creed fan, but all bands have influences and if Creed are a rip-off then Stone Temple Piolets are a rip-off too. Clearly neither of the two are. I’m an STP fan also, especially Scott Weiland’s time in Velvet Revolver.

I’m not sure why everyone’s hating on DMB. They’ve stood the test of time by sticking around for what? 18 years? And they’re STILL selling out shows? That’s saying something. DMB for life. I’ll be the one person on here to stick up for him.

i wish them lots of luck and taya make bret so fly penthouse is 1

As a resident of San Francisco living 1/2 block from G(olden) G(ate) P(ark), I have to point out to my fellow `rollin stones’ that Outside Lands Festival was a major pain in the a$$ last year for thousands of San Franciscans.

How so?

The Outside Lands Festival erected mile after mile of chain link fence in GGP and prohibited countless people from following their daily routines for at least 2 weeks. (Just imagine having someone fencing off the public property you frequent and hiring grossly under-paid security guards to bark at you to stay away for a couple of weeks from the area you have frequented without and impediment for years.)

The Outside Lands Festival displaced the fauna and destroyed a lot of the flora in GGP.

GGP was not designed for the Outside Lands Festival: It cannot handle it.

Please: Don’t go. See it as it really is : A money making scheme that pursues a profit and does NOT take into account the daily lives of thousands of people and the activity area which they frequent.

can’t wait for this year.
atmosphere and DMB make my life complete. plus M.I.A.?! it’s too good to be true.

so whattt is pearl jam can’t waith to go there and incubus damn cant waith aquien le preocupa la funa no mamen
