Pretty self-explanatory title, I'm just wondering as I'll be heading back to Long Island after each show, and am a bit nervous about missing the last train out. Any advice?

    I'm heading back to PA after night 1. My plan is to check the schedule and if I have to leave the show early, I'll head out. I hope not, but seeing them 20+ times I won't mind too much.

    But to answer your question, I see night 1 over by 11:20

    MSG can always surprise you... there is an 11pm curfew... but it has been broken on several occasions.
    4/12/92, 8/11/92, 9/28/96, 9/11/98, 8/23/00, 8/24/00, 7/9/03, 4/30/03, 10/1/04, 10/3/05, 12/9/05, 5/12/06, 5/17/06, 5/28/06, 6/3/06, 12/9/06, EV LA 4/12-4/13/08, 6/12/08, 6,19,08, 6,20,08, 6/24/08, 6/25/08, 7/1/08

    what branch line?....I've never had a problem getting home after concerts, i'm on the Babylon Line. If you miss the last train, just go get drunk and sleep in Penn until the early am train comes.
  • drsluggodrsluggo Posts: 4,742
    i think both shows last time ended around 20-25 after 11... I think curfew is 11 and they work to get it pushed to 11:15 or so ... I think you'll be fine.

    But like as already been said - just get ready to go during YL or Indifference or whatever looks to be the closer. Even if you just get near the exit - then you can run out as soon as you know its over. :)

    Friday show could go past 11:30 (weekend curfew is 12 I think) if they come on closer to 9, then you know it will run later
    I think Thurs will end before 11:30 (If they are not starting until 8:45 or so, 11:30 is about right)

    just based on past experiences

    Hartford ended around 11:10pm on Saturday - show clocked in just under 2.5hrs. I'd expect MSG to run slightly longer...and they've been known to break curfew before.

    Awesome, thanks everyone! Would be a shame to miss ANY Pearl Jam, but worse things could happen. After all, seeing 39 and a half out of 40 songs at night two wouldn't be the worst thing ever :mrgreen:
    ..Well, I can dream.

    Thats what i was going to suggest.. it sucks but sometimes it has to be done when seeing shows in the city
  • mrpink90mrpink90 Posts: 415
    I think 1130 would be the latest it would end

    You and I are in the same boat. My Amtrak leaves at 11:50, so I may have to miss the closer, would rather not but can't walk around NYC all night either!!

    If you miss the 11:45 one out of Penn to LI on the Port Jeff line there is another around 1 and then 1:45. if I happen to miss the 11:45 then Ill be grabbing a burger and a beer at my favorite place in Penn. :D

    don't listen to him. stay until the last note is played. take your chances getting home man. my friend and i got lost walking around the wrong side of chicago back in 98', spent the night in o'hare and flew back to STL the next morning to take a college algebra mid-term.

    And I'm guessing that it was one of the best stories you have to tell for the rest of your life right?

    In 2005, I saw Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals at Irving Plaza. They did not go on until late and it was an almost 3 hour show. I missed the last train upstate where I was living at the time. My friend slept on the street in Times Square while I did word searches on a book I bought in the Port Authority (we took the bus home) until 6 AM. I caught a drumstick from Leon Mobley that night, and Charlie Musselwhite played Dressed in Black with the band. It was an awesome night.

    I don't think you're going to have to worry about missing the last train. Last time I took the LIRR, which was a few months ago the "last" train left at like 2:30am then there was a gap until like 5am on the ronkonkama line. Of course I don't know what line you're taking but I'm assuming the times are similar. Unless things have changed dramatically.

    philly 4 was almost till 1am. both philly 4 and state college can both be easily outdone and not by going overtime. quite a few shows have toppled those shows. they just need to keep the crowd loud and pumped and the crowd has to give it back. keep us on our feet with the rarer stuff like pilate, alone and dare i say BLACK, RED AND YELLOW!?!? and get us rocking hard to songs like down, dissident and comatose. also i think the garden is the one place where In Hiding in philly (night 3) could possibly be topped.

    pj at msg is quality, not quantity. we're in for two of the most anticipated shows this band has ever played. all week people have posted constantly about these two shows. its almost overwhelming, the expectations the guys will have to try and reach/exceed. i have my wishes for these shows (all the songs mentioned above along with oceans as a start). but in the end im just excited to know that ill be there.
  • pearljamdude420pearljamdude420 Posts: 1,380
    im still mad i went to la 1 and 2 instead of the 4 philly shows.best show i ever saw still is state college, and philly 4 or 3 probably be better if i went. not sure of many shows better than that if at all, like what boston when they played an accostic set at mansfield or a gorge show? i think state college is the best ever, ottawa 05 was fuckin sick too

    trains run all night from penn back to long island. j get a pocket schedule when you arrive at penn and look at the big board once you get to penn. penn station has a few pizza joints that will hit the spot after the concert. shit i once caught a 3:15am train outta penn. i think that was after the self titled dvd screening/ night of drinking with pearlsam333 and gardendogg. it was really cool drinking a 40 of sam adams and eating pizza as the sun was rising.
