pearl jam at Glastonbury wot do you think

[fowls]

Seeing as they're playing London on the Friday and Nijmegen on the Sunday, and never play 3 different places on consecutive nights, I wouldn't say it was very likely.

I think they are shit.

Whatever you think of their songs, there's got to be some respect for their setlists and how they treat their fans.  No other band change their setlists nearly as much as PJ.

I'd say a search button should be used they won't play as showed in the other threads about them.

Probably the one band I'd want to see at Glastonbury (Discounting dream bands like The Smiths, Zeppelin etc that will probably never happen)

They seem like a Glastonbury band to me, have the right beliefs etc etc. Even Flow blasting out across the Pyramid field would be a moment.

yeah, its just a personal opinion, I think they would be a good addition and would draw a big crowd. I just do not like any of their songs.

I'd love to see pearl jam but I don't see it happening.

I missed them last time they played Leeds festival as I was watching 2 Many DJs, I probably would give them a miss again.

[.jay.]

i never really liked them until i saw them live.

i had friends who's opinion i respect tell me how much of a great live band they are and how well they treat their fans and i looked into it all and thought I'd check them out when i was at reading in 05?/06? and i was so glad i did as i was blown away.

it's definitely up there with one of my best live music experiences which is very surprising considering i knew very little of their work except for a few of the big hits (which i never really liked) and also that i was watching them by myself as my friends weren't interested.

i would love to see them again now that i am more accustomed with their work and have friends interested in seeing them.

can't see them playing Glastonbury though it just doesn't fit into their schedule (though with U2 squeezing the Friday in in between US dates you never know)

but considering it was the incident at Roskilde while pearl jam were playing that made Eavis take his odd stance on "heavy music" i would find it very odd if he were to book them.

Pearl Jam would be awesome - even if not headlining a stage.

[Martin Ashford]

I'd say there must be a really good chance of them playing as they are in London on the Friday -they tick ALL of the Glastonbury boxes and would be a first for the festival (like the Stones and U2)

oooh, the thought of that just sent a shiver down my spine!  I'd love to see them.
