apparently you never have attended a concert there..

I am the biggest whiner when it comes to "stadium"-type shows (hate them) but Fenway has had remarkably GOOD sound ... seen 5 concerts there over the past 4 years...

In fact, I challenge anyone to find a commercial review of a Fenway concert that notes poor sound..

meh...........the Garden is 10x better...Fenway concerts are a novelty because of the venue...i was born and raised in Mass and could care less about a Fenway show....the Garden is a much better choice!

I'd love to see a show at the garden. I've seen the last 4 there and it was hell getting out to Great Woods. Although now I will be coming in from Maine. So I really want the Garden. LOL Train in straight to the venue. :P

philly was such a great experience... god i miss the energy and emotion of those shows so much already!!!

Id say we represented tho... saw a lot of MASS People down there!!

i knew the black eyed peas stole that song from PJ!!!!

interesting debate here...garden vs. fenway vs. great woods. i loved fenway and thought it was great (on the field, but only 1 show). great woods is cool if you're close enough. I thought the sound in the garden in 04 was awful. it sounds even worse on the boot. but i remember thinking it sounded bad while i was there. great show, shitty sound. my opinion only.

i was 11th row at the garden in 06 and the sound was mint...when Ed busted out his harmonica and did Smile (my first time hearing it live) that shit sounded awesome!!! easy to get to (i take the train 5 min from my house and it pulls in right under the venue!35 min ride! designated driver )& right off the highway

Mansfield is a good time if the weather is right and the cops aren't in Gestapo mode...the sound is very decent...but the traffic blows.

I never park inside there for any show. It blows getting out and the cops are even worse if someone has pissed in their corn flakes. I'd rather park outside, walk the 15 minutes, drink in peace and be home by 12:00 am.

U R A Crazy Breed

fuck it.....at this point i don't care where they play...just as long as they get their asses over here!!

Nowhere is worse than Hartford...
I actually got (accidentily) maced after the 2008 show...

Yes, the recent 2008 show... not the 1996 famous riot..

seems I had come up from the hill just after the Boys dropped a cloud of fun stuff on some gate crashers after the show!

I kept thinking.. why are they doing this now? The shows over????

Just jumping into this thread late Erik, but let me take this opportunity to sound off...

PLEASE PLAY FENWAY PARK!!!!!!!! This is getting kinda ridiculous year after year with bands like the Police, Phish and Neil f'n Diamond playing at our hallowed ballpark. I happened to run into Theo Epstein a few years ago before he went onstage in Boston 06 and asked him when PJ would play Fenway. His response? "Soon enough". Ive held onto hope because of that one chance encounter. However, 07 passed. 08 passed. 09 came and went with no sign they are playing. There are rumors swirling that after 2012 (the 100 year anniversary of the park) that ownership will reignite the flames of building a new park. We cannot let this happen without Pearl Jam first playing the park. They deserve it. We deserve it. I understand some people don't like the acoustics of the park and with good reason. It's a baseball park and its 100 freakin' years old! All the same, this would be a legendary show and so many of us on this thread would consider this event one of the greatest moments of our lives. So many great bars and clubs in the area for meet-ups before and after. We were blessed by the Good Lord in fighting back the demons and claiming what's rightfully ours in 2004 and I will always cherish that Fall. PJ playing Fenway would equal that for me.

Thanks for letting me ramble on about this for a bit. I've been wanting to do this on the board for a while now and this is the appropriate thread to do so.

Thanks and peace to the Mass-holes out there!

FenwayFaithful

Nobody posts in the Given To Fly board when the band isn't playing.

Is there anyone out there? :yawn:
