Anytime you can gather PJ die-hards to hang, share stories, and get psyched up for a pending concert should be a blessing. Doesn't matter what bar or what cover band is playing...that's all gravy. We all know how special these shows are and they won't last forever so we should be thankful that PJ is our favorite band and tour as much as they do. They are the most fan-friendly band since the Greatful Dead, and their following proves this fact.
So let's spread the love come 5/17. It's a holiday everytime they play as far as I am concerned.
:thumbup: :thumbup:
I don't care if we meet up by a dumpster on Tremont Street and swig Pabst Blue Ribbon out of cans, as long as we're all talking PJ and getting ready for the show!
Why does everyone hate on the Pabst???
Exactly. There is nothing wrong with the Red, White, and Blue.
...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...
I can't wait and appreciate that someone has brought negativity to a fundraiser. You're awesome thank you.
this chick has had a grudge against backseat lover for a long time now ... im probably not going to get this right... but it's something like this
a while back she was writing some article or something and since the lead singer didn't bow down and kiss her boots she decided that he was nothing but an eddie wannabe ... sorry he didn't drop everything so you could get a great story for your blog with 17.5 followers
i know some PJ fans are against Tribute bands from the start... these people know what they like... that's fine
but I've never heard of a Pearl Jam fan seeing this band and coming away thinking anything but ... wow that was fun/cool
we know they're not pearl jam... they know they're not pearl jam...
but if you like pearl jam... seeing BSL is a good fn time
as for the Harp... I'm not typically a fan but it's a friggin Monday before a PJ show...and it has a stage... we will take it over and it will be far from the typical Harp crowd...

My name is Crazy Breed and i approve this message.
I saw a PJ coverband in Australia back in '93 or '94 when I was tired of waiting for them to tour I just NEEDED to hear their songs live. They were actually good, but I can't remember what they were called.
Glaciers melting in the dead of night and the superstars sucked into the supermassive.

i think you're a perfect example... you were quite skeptical before you went right?
this is true...but i always try to approach things with an open mind so i was able to really enjoy them when i saw them for the first time...and the guys in the band are mad cool and huge PJ fans just like all of us...some people just need to unclench their ass cheeks with the anti-cover band shit! they might just fuck around and have a good time.
I'm in - flying in from Seattle for this. Never been to Boston before and looking forward to spending time in this city, hearing BSL and watching a bunch of other PJ freaks getting piss-drunk before the show.

You are correct sir, whoever you are. Although I sort of take offense to being referred to as a "chick." It has nothing to do with the lead singer not kissing my boots (something I would not recommend to anyone, actually). I am a writer, that is true, and was doing a little something a la "Fargo Rock City" on BSL in Boston & the surrounding areas. Like... New Hampshire.
They are just a bad band, but they can pull you out of a 3 year drought if PJ is not touring, I won't deny that. But to see them, at the Harp, right before the real thing? That just goes to the band's cashing in on coattails that are not rightfully theirs.
or did you not want my opinion?
Also the Harp legit sucks. It's all tourists & this thread has proved that. If you want me, I'll be next to that fun dumpster with the PBR. I'll write a check for Project Bread.

I'm sure nobody will be disappointed that your not attending the pre-party. We are all going to have an awesome time hanging out and rocking out to Backseat Lover before Pearl Jam. As I stated before in this thread Negative people need not attend and sour everyone's mood.
Also, Backseat Lover recently donated a large sum of money and several big raffle items to the Team McCready fundraiser in Boston. They are a group of extremely generous guys. They are definitely not looking to "cash in".

Does it really matter that the Harp is a tourist place at this point though? It's one night, hang with some fellow fans, rock out to BSL...Drink better beer than PBR.......
As for BSL as a band, they are great, they have a huge following of hard-core PJ fans, the members themselves are hard-core fans. They are not trying to cash in on anything, they are playing tribute to the band. And as for cashing in, they recently played a full house for a Wishlist benefit where they donated ALL of the funds to the foundation. The band's drummer also donated several high-ticket items as well to the auction.
I can't wait for this event and the PJ show! It's going to be fabulous!
Hi gang,
let me interject. bridge and tunnel comment does not apply here,(NY term), unless of course you are from eastie, or somewhere on the north shore and need to go over a bridge ot thru a tunnel to get into the city. (you can get around that if you cut through Chelsea or down rt. 16 and then 93S) yes, I know, only locals know what I'm talking about, but then, this is Boston show thread. I've been going to bars in Boston since EV was working in that Goddam Drugstore! I would not want to go to the harp on a Friday night at 11:00 P.M.- lots of ballcaps and cheap perfume-however, an afternoon fundraiser on a Monday will only draw Pearl pearl jam fans. Don't know anythin about BSL, so I won't speak on it. It's for a good cause, so, let the music play, the booze flow, and the good times roll. See you there. BE SAFE AND LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER.

You're cute.
I don't really hate BSL that much. I just like to watch people go bananas when I say they're a bad band.

I have to go over a bridge and through a tunnel, so I guess I'm one of "those" people. But I'd swim if necessary to get to this preparty. And if the PBR at the dumpster on Tremont doesn't work for the naysayers, there's always the happy alternative of the multitiered concrete fiasco that is Government Center and a bottle of Boone's Farm in a paper bag and an a cappella version of "Yellow Ledbetter." Whatever floats your kayak, folks.
As for me, I'll be at the Harp with some kind of beer and a happy grin on my face. As long as the band is playing Pearl Jam songs it doesn't matter to me if it's fronted by Jessica Simpson. Well, wait a second... I may have gone too far there...

True Dat!! these dudes are not out to make $...they love the music just like MOST of us and they are talented enough to play it.....i'd be the first mutha fucka to yell out loud "they suck" if they really sucked...but they are a great band and a really cool bunch of guys that i have just been getting to know through running the TM fundraiser.....they hooked us up big time, in a very unselfish fashion....and "cashing in" isn't what these guys are about at all.....and i can think of no better way to spend my pre show hours than drinking beer with my friends and rocking out with Backsetlover...& i don't give a fuck what bar it is...for those few hours it will be OUR BAR!!!

Mr. Pants... I thought u were calling Jecica "this chick." I was like, WHAT?! Now I get it :oops:.
I'm confused by all of this talk, talk, talk. I'm a simpleton. I like good beers, good buddies, good Pearl Jam.

I used to think cover bands were lame, but BSL blew me away. They put on a great show!
