Yet another 5/18 update

edited April 2010 in The Porch
My buddy just called me and left a message saying that he got a very interesting phone call last night. Apparently, if PJ is unable to secure TD Banknorth on 5/18, they have put an inquiry in at the DCU Center (formerly the Worcester Centrum). Again, they hope to make this decision in the next week or so.

I'll keep eveyrone posted if I hear from my buddy.

    That could be pretty solid - the second place has a much smaller capacity so that could be kind of fun.

    We'll see though - always easier to have both shows at the same place.

    How far a drive is it from Boston? It would be cool if there is a bigger 10c allotment since there is not much time until this show.

    this is completely breaking my heart...I was just hoping...whatever...
  • drsluggodrsluggo Posts: 4,742
    Yeah - I'd be more than OK with this. I have to fly back home from Hartford, so this would take me that way which is a small plus. :)

    Saw Rage Against The Machine there in 1997. Craziness.

    I agree, Worcester stinks.

    I love Worcester but this place sucks. Went there and saw Neil Young /Wilco recently and the place is just outdated and small. Small corridors and seats are crammed together with no leg room.

    Haha...maybe it was because I was walking around going "got your insulin syringes." That may have attracted the scumbags to me. :lol:

    is there a train or public transportation from Boston? wasn't planning on renting a car when I was in Boston .
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride"!

    haha... exactly what i thought


    night 3 at the spectrum reminded me of a celtics game i went to a couple of years ago in worcester

    a game that was RAINED OUT

    so that tells you the quality of the venue


    i love it because it's small and real close to me

    do it PJ!!!!!

    Yeah, those sound like the same complaints I had of the Spectrum.

    As far as Fenway goes, I don't understand (other than sentimentality) why anyone would want to go to a concert there, or in any stadium. Stadiums kill any good vibes by their sheer size. I saw Springsteen in the Nassau Coliseum (think size of Spectrum) and it was one of those life altering experiences, then saw him 5 months later at Giants Stadium and didn't have nearly as much fun because of the open air nature of stadiums and the gigantic crowd, which kills the intimacy of a show.

    Part of the beauty of a Pearl Jam show is that they are great at making arena shows feel intimate and fuel the feeling that a particular show is special to your experience. Having seen Pearl Jam at Lollapalooza in 07, about halfway back, that feeling was pretty lost in the field. Just felt like a gigantic concert.

    This is all not to mention that if they can't sell out [insert corporate name here] Garden in Boston, how are they gonna sell out a place that holds 3 times as many people.

    if they play May 18th it will be at the Garden...they will not transport all their shit just for one show somwhere else...that just doesn't make sense....neither does 1 show in Boston!

    i'll shit myself if they don't add another date at the Garden within the next 2 weeks.

    I think they're waiting more on the Bruins then the Celtics. The Celts are already in whereas the Bruins are still fighting for a playoff spot. That's the undetermined variable on the Garden.
