Poll Results
The 1998 tour poll was open for voting for the last three weeks of January 1999. An average of 3,505 people participated in this poll, which was set up so that (theoretically) you could only vote once. Thanks for voting and here are the results:1. Favorite show of the 1998 South Pacific tour
Response Votes % Graph Commentary Maui I (2/20/98) 279 11.90% Obviously, not that many Aussies voted, judging by the fact that the 3/5/98 show, the most widely circulated Australian show, was at the top of the list, and the fact that the Maui shows came in next on the list. Where were you, Aussies and Kiwis?! Maui II (2/21/98) 338 14.41% Wellington, NZ (2/26/98) 33 1.41% Auckland, NZ (2/28/98) 42 1.79% Melbourne I (3/2/98) 96 4.09% Melbourne II (3/3/98) 139 5.93% Melbourne III (3/5/98) 863 36.80% Adelaide (3/7/98) 60 2.56% Sydney I (3/9/98) 75 3.20% Sydney II (3/11/98) 77 3.28% Sydney III (3/12/98) 110 4.69% Brisbane I (3/14/98) 35 1.49% Brisbane II (3/15/98) 33 1.41% Perth I (3/19/98) 56 2.39% Perth II (3/20/98) 109 4.65% TOTAL 2345 100.00% ..
2. Favorite show of the 1998 North American tour
Response Votes % Graph Commentary Missoula (6/20/98) 69 1.77% The second most popular question in the poll, with almost 4,000 votes represented! No huge surprises here, but we're very surprised the excellent LA Forum shows didn't get more votes. Salt Lake City (6/21/98) 30 0.77% Denver (6/23/98) 45 1.15% Rapid City (6/24/98) 24 0.61% Alpine Valley I (6/26/98) 83 2.12% Alpine Valley II (6/27/98) 65 1.66% Chicago (6/29/98) 242 6.19% Minneapolis (6/30/98) 95 2.43% St. Louis (7/2/98) 94 2.40% Kansas City (7/3/98) 50 1.28% Dallas (7/5/98) 92 2.35% Albuquerque (7/7/98) 30 0.77% Phoenix (7/8/98) 28 0.72% San Diego (7/10/98) 78 2.00% Las Vegas (7/11/98) 27 0.69% Los Angeles I (7/13/98) 58 1.48% Los Angeles II (7/14/98) 22 0.56% Sacramento (7/16/98) 87 2.23% Portland (7/18/98) 39 1.00% Vancouver (7/19/98) 41 1.05% Seattle I (7/21/98) 42 1.07% Seattle II (7/22/98) 97 2.48% Deer Creek (8/17/98) 97 2.48% East Lansing (8/18/98) 48 1.23% Montreal (8/20/98) 120 3.07% Toronto (8/22/98) 245 6.27% Detroit (8/23/98) 65 1.66% Pittsburgh (8/25/98) 114 2.92% Cleveland (8/26/98) 78 2.00% Philadelphia I (8/28/98) 98 2.51% Philadelphia II (8/29/98) 46 1.18% Raleigh (8/31/98) 52 1.33% Atlanta (9/1/98) 66 1.69% Birmingham (9/3/98) 34 0.87% Greenville (9/4/98) 59 1.51% Knoxville (9/6/98) 81 2.07% Virginia Beach (9/7/98) 27 0.69% E.

3. Favorite opening band
Response Votes % Graph Commentary Shudder to Think 32 0.97% Talk about a landslide: the excellent and well-deserving Ben Harper won this poll hands down, followed by Mudhoney, Cheap Trick and Iggy Pop. But, c'mon - the Wallflowers over Frank Black?! Rancid and Hovercraft also received a surprising amount of votes considering that they only opened one city respectively on the tour. Our apologies for leaving Hayden out of this listing. Goodness 72 2.19% Frank Black 158 4.81% Murder City Devils 55 1.67% Spacehog 67 2.04% X 92 2.80% Zeke 38 1.16% Tenacious D 37 1.13% The Wallflowers 185 5.63% Sean Lennon 34 1.04% Iggy Pop 233 7.09% Cheap Trick 329 10.02% Mudhoney 487 14.82% Ben Harper 1133 34.49% Hovercraft 128 3.90% Rancid 205 6.24% TOTAL 3285 100.00% ..
4. Favorite track from Live On Two Legs
Response Votes % Graph Commentary Corduroy 330 8.33% The most popular question of the poll. Obviously, whatever "Untitled" turns out to be, most people would like to hear it on the next record! "DTE", the excellent version of "Black", "Fuckin' Up" and "Corduroy" were next, with "Off He Goes" not far behind. We're not surprised at the low turnout for "Better Man", but are you all really that tired of "Go"? Given To Fly 100 2.52% Hail Hail 157 3.96% Daughter 297 7.49% Elderly Woman 107 2.70% Untitled (Improv) 630 15.90% MFC 98 2.47% Go 57 1.44% Red Mosquito 190 4.79% Even Flow 136 3.43% Off He Goes 300 7.57% Nothingman 177 4.47% Do The Evolution 521 13.15% Better Man 49 1.24% Black 450 11.36% Fuckin' Up 364 9.18% TOTAL 3963 100.00% ..
5. Favorite (or most memorable) "tour controversy"
Response Votes % Graph Commentary Rodman onstage in Dallas 407 11.61% Okay ... so maybe this was obvious. And it wasn't supposed to be an exhaustive listing of everything that happened on tour, just the things we recalled heated email going around about. The DTE shimmy 447 12.75% Mike in a dress in LA 98 2.80% Shoes for my friends in Sacto 141 4.02% Drunk crowds in Vegas 73 2.08% The "drummer situation" 448 12.78% The "taping/no taping" policy 147 4.19% Tour poster mania! 183 5.22% The "'Breath' campaign" 1561 44.54% TOTAL 3505 100.00% ..
6. MVP (Most Valuable Player) of the 1998 tour
Response Votes % Graph Commentary Jeff Ament 91 2.48% While we're sure Mister Pickles is damn flattered, the fact that he placed higher than Jeff or Stone seems kind of - ridiculous?! (Of course, the other half of the mail we got about this kept asking who this elusive character was!) Obviously, we knew the answer to this question before we even asked it, but nice to see Mr. Michael David McCready get the recognition that has been long due him. We are not worthy. Also nice to see Matt Cameron get almost as many props as Eddie - actually, it's damn nice to see recognition of the whole BAND and not just "ed-DIE".
Matt Cameron 925 25.18% Jack Irons 27 0.74% Stone Gossard 159 4.33% Mike McCready 1255 34.17% Ed Vedder 1017 27.69% Mr. Pickles 199 5.42% TOTAL 3673 100.00% ..
7. Favorite PJ release this year
Response Votes % Graph Commentary "Given To Fly" single ("Pilate" b-side) 37 0.96% For all the public bitching about SVT and L2L, if nothing else, this list should have been titled, "A PJ Fan's Reasons to be Cheerful". Yield 1915 49.65% "Wishlist" single ("U"/"Brain of J") 43 1.11% Single Video Theory 852 22.09% Live On Two Legs 714 18.51% place/date 109 2.83% Fan Club Christmas single 187 4.85% TOTAL 3857 100.00% ..
