Pearl Jam at The Fabulous Forum 05.06.2022 - Eddie Vedder's story about Pink Floyd

[@stephenaa4807]

Eddie couldn't be MORE WRONG. The Wall was only performed at TWO locations in February 1980: Nassau Coliseum on Long Island for 5 nights and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in downtown LA for 7 nights. They NEVER PLAYED CHICAGO and they NEVER PLAYED THE FORUM. Philadelphia, which Vedder leaves out as an historic music museum---enough to host LIVE AID in 1985, along with London--offered their historic JFK Stadium for countless shows the summer of 1980, but Pink "Roger" said, "NO." Vedder's memory is quite flawed. Maybe 14-year-olds shouldn't be smoking weed. I waited until college to try those things and I guess I was wiser for it; plus I SAW THE SHOW and "DIDN'T" sit in the parking lot! There's a lesson to be learned there, middle-schoolers.

Maybe 50+ year old lead singers shouldn't drink wine during the show. Lol. Btw- It was *R*FK stadium.

You are right about the US shows. I just looked it up. That's funny. Eddie must have been really hitting the blunts that night. I wonder if he even knew what city he was in. Or maybe it was a different band? 😆

I don't know about modern 14 yr olds are but when i turned 14 i was fine with it. Basically because i started smoking dope when i 13.
