Yeah, assuming the unconfirmed date is correct, it's during Lollapalooza.

I think I had this argument once before on Netphoria. Radiohead are not too well known in the U.S. outside their immediate fan base. Fucking EVERYONE on the street knows who Pearl Jam is. The only thing most people can associate with Radiohead is Creep. Now maybe this doesn't necessarily correlate with the size of each band's fanbase in the states, but I don't see Radiohead filling the Verizon Center any better than Pearl Jam.

Btw, there was something on atease about how they were being really specific about the venues that they do/don't want to play, and these venues just don't *seem* right to me |

What the fuck...Radiohead has the number 1 album in the United States right now. Pearl Jam hasn't sniffed number 1 since 1996. Radiohead is clearly more well known than Pearl Jam. That's an absurd statement.
Anecdotally, the rock station in Boston's "huge" giveaway is tickets to Radiohead in Barcelona. Not Pearl Jam. Radiohead. |

What the hell does this have to do with anything, Pearl Jam isn't even touring, and contests are set up through corporate deals with promoters... |

not really, its because its wrong
its not like a good deal of radiohead fans arent the same indie snobs that pride themselves on name dropping bands you've never heard of. |

radiohead has the largest google footprint of the bands mentioned here.
you decide the relevance of that, however. |

Radiohead is more popular NOW than Pearl Jam is NOW. I thought that's what we were talking about? Are we? I realize that Jeremy is more popular than Karma Police. Regardless, Radiohead has the number 1 album in the US, a position Pearl Jam hasn't seen in over a decade. I guarantee that Radiohead would sell more tickets than Pearl Jam. Absolutely guarantee it. It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm in college, either.

I was referring to overall public recognition. Radiohead will never have it the way Pearl Jam is it in the states. Pearl Jam is still the kind of band where non-fans will go out and buy their newest album because they know the name and liked some song they heard on the radio. Radiohead, not so much.

Hopefully the Tampa show is true. I really do not want to have to drive to Miami or GA.
