You are obsessed, my friend. But as with all Pearl Jam threads that come and go on here, I 100% support the motion.

Get Pearl Jam at glasto. Incredible live band. Reading 2006 is right up there with my all time favourite gigs

[Spindles]

You know I'd be standing shoulder to shoulder with Guy on this request. One day it WILL happen.

[Vieuphoria]

I go on and off Pearl Jam. Used to be one of my favourite bands, and with every release my my interest perks and then I never listen again. That said, their new track is the best thing they've done in years.

Pearl Jam are so good live. Seen them quite a few times. Love their new track. Would love to see them at Glastonbury. Mr Eavis, make it so...!

[Sofa]

Have they played Glastonbury before? They would be a fine edition indeed.

[Ovechkin]

Big Day Out have a very nice set of headliners, Pearl Jam - Arcade Fire - Blur.

Too bad Glasto already got their set of headliners lined up, if they tour Europe this year I wonder how many years it will take till they're back again, probably 3+ considering they toured northen europe last year and italy/spain/portugal next.

It just sucks that they aren't being discussed more, they derserve the recognition a glasto headline slot gives. many posters here say that they eventually will do it, but why wait while they decline.. Ed voice surely isn't as good as it was a few years ago.

pearl jam would be superb at glastonbury.

i've sadly only seen them once before (they hardly ever play scotland!!...twice in 20+years!!!

[russycarps]

they are SHITE!

[mungo57]

I echo Ed209 - Reading 06 was fucking brilliant. Still in my top 5 gigs.

[Spindles]

Their last album was their best yet, imo. I haven't heard the new track yet.

Just Breathe, Even Flow, Black, Yellow Ledbetter, Jeremy and Alive on the Pyramid would be great Just Breathe is my current favourite of theirs the cover that Willy Nelson did a couple of years ago is quite good too! Anyway i would love to see this as far as i'm aware they haven't even played in Scotland since around 2000 so if anything Glastonbury looks like a good bet for me

[arcade fireman]

Not a fan of Pearl Jam, but Big Day Outs line up is ridiculous. Three Glastonbury sized headliners in one day, with Snoop Dogg (Lion) on the bill too. Unfortunately the festival is full of bogans, but definitely getting tickets.

[Vieuphoria]

what is a bogan?

[Ed209]

The australian's version of a "chav"

[gmb1992]

Pearl Jam would be awesome!!

Pearl Jam and The Pixies would be perfect for me...fingers & toes crossed

[Zoo Music Girl]

Is it just me who could see them as more likely on the Other stage? I'm not really a fan, true, but I'm not sure how many people would know a lot of their songs. I was surprised to hear they were still going actually or did they reform? Personally I don't see their appeal as being much wider than the Pumpkins.

I bought the first two Pearl Jam albums and then just faded away from them. Well, I faded away from music in general for a few years - family came along, no money etc. so no gigs - less music bought. This was long before the days of computers when you could only listen to the radio or go out and actually buy CD's. I don't suppose youngsters today now how lucky they are to be able to turn on their computer and listen to anything by any artist in the world - for free!

Anyway, back to the point. I think I saw the Pearl Jam documentary on TV and realised there was a lot more to them than I had given them credit for, so I went a bought the double 'Greatest Hits' CD. Wow! What a revelation. Some of the slow tracks are sensational, especially Off He Goes and Yellow Ledbetter.

Bought Backspacer (again, Just Breathe became an instant entry into my top 100 tracks) and saw them at Isle of Wight festival. Is there a better voice in rock than Eddie Vedder's?

Nowadays we are a little more affluent and our festival and gig attendance has now become a family affair with our two adult daughters often accompanying us. We are all hoping that Pearl Jam will tour next year to promote the new album and we will definitely be there if they do. Glastonbury would be the icing on the cake.

[bsolxiv]

they are SHITE!

[guypjfreak]

Great. You've started a thread where I have to agree with Russy, Thanks a lot Guy.

[Matt42]

Pearl Jam could be doing download this year idk I feel it.

[Morse Code]

i know it comes up every year and yes i love it .

anyway PJ have started releasing 2014 dates for the big day out festival SO you never know do ya and they would be a great international head liner [ you know they always try and have some big group from over the pond ] thats wot i was getting at .....

[guypjfreak]

Are you trying to tell me the PJ in your name is Pearl Jam and not pyjamas?! I'm disappointed...

[arcade fireman]

no worries old son ..i try and keep you all happy lol.

no PJ have never split up and as i said i reckon they wouldn't mind playing the other stage as there not up there own asses BUT it wouldn't be big enough.they are selling out and HAVE sold out every gig they have done hence they are one of the biggest bands in the world and ONE of the best live bands ever .

the thing is like U2 and the stones i fearwe may have a wait on our hands lol
