Pearl Jam Working the Live Scene

Normally when I go to a concert, I prefer the sets from the band to lean towards the shorter side. Not so with Pearl Jam. When they play, I want them to go on for three hours. And most times, they do.

Undeterred by a fan walk-out at its U.S. bow, the Pearl Jam 2003 tour is on a near-sellout track. Wrapping up its 22-date first leg May 3 at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Penn., the 18 Pearl Jam shows reported to Billboard Boxscore grossed an average of $434,050. Overall attendance clocked in at 80% of venues’ total capacity, averaging 11,974 per concert. (full story)

I’m anxiously awaiting to see them this month in Columbus.
