PEARL JAM CANADA 2011

Hugh Freaking Dillon

Bettman has said himself the MTS Centre, which opened in 2004, is a perfect NHL arena. But no, we won't be getting a team any time soon. Not until Bettman gets his head out of his ass and realizes that Southern US is not a hockey viable place. The same as cricket not being viable up here.

Show me where I insulted Winnipeg in my post? NOWHERE, that is where. I was simply saying Minnesota is a crazy hockey state. If anything you are the only one insulting peoples cities here. Also, I am pretty clear on the situation in Winnipeg. I would LOVE to see a team there. It's not about handling a team, it doesn't matter how much money you have, just ask Jim Balsielle. He has billions too, and he has no luck getting a team, he has been railroaded twice. You know why? The NHL is not interested in A) Expanding or Moving any of the teams they have now. Winnipeg wont get a team until they build an NHL ready arena. The same reason why they lost the Jets. I don't think an NHL arena can be built in 6 months.

yes, because one concert is the same as a full season of a ridiculously overpriced sport full of crybabies. :roll:

Winnipeg is a hole. That isn't an insult, it's a fact. Plus, from what I understand, the thing that's keeping Winnipeg from getting a team is that there is not enough corporate money for season tickets & boxes. Another thing is that you would have to add seats to the MTN center. The existing seats make their financial market too small. I have a feeling this statement belongs in another thread somewhere ...

Dear Jeebus,

Massey Hall.

Amen.

If Pearl Jam played @ Massey Hall the place will come crashing down right after the first drum beat by Matt. I mean literally the place will crumble. The whole upstairs balcony would come falling down & the roof blown off & flown away to the left & smashed right beside the Eaton Centre.

So yeah, please play Massey Hall. The 2 Ed show's I seen there back in '08 were amazing. PJ playing there would be mind blowing!

hahah bump massey would be awesome but we'd need 3 in a row:)

I remember the day I opened up pearljam.com back in 2005 and they were playing "Oh Canada!" and had a Canadian flag on the site...it sent chills down my spine...man that was awesome.....

If there is a Canadian tour i think I'll try to hit up a chunk of the tour. Never done it before. I did see 2 in a row in Toronto in 06.

It mostly depends on when the tour is and how many dates i can book off. Also when it's announced. I'll need as much time as possible to book off work.

I remember that like it was yesterday. When I read the list of shows my jaw completely dropped and I think it took me 10 minutes just to process the information. I expected Toronto and Montreal and hoped for one more that I could drive to (thinking Ottawa had the best shot at that). But to see Kitcher, London and Hamilton on that list was just ridiculous.

Play Red Deer!

I remembered hearing the song the day before but didn't see the dates/10club tickets available for purchase till the next day at around 7am or so. The dates/10club tickets must of went up @ 12am Eastern Time? I remembered getting up with tons of emails on my MSN Messenger & freaking the fuck out that they were coming to Halifax! I logged onto the 10club and placed the order for Halifax tickets ASAP that morning. Had to wait a few minutes to order the Toronto tickets cause I had to talk to the family/work if I could take some time off those few day's so I could travel. To see Pearl Jam & check out Greek Town again!

The dates went up EARLY. I recall being up for work around 7:30 am EST and they were already up and everything was for sale.

They went on sale just after 12am EST...I'll never forget reading down the list and being more and more surprised at each place, until I finally read St. John's at the end...Newfoundland?...I mean really...still has to be the most obscure place they've ever played...was cool to see them in the place I grew up

I also remember scrambling to buy tickets to all the Ontario shows before everyone found out the next morning, just in case!...haha

Is it good? If you get the pure stuff & not the super market manufactured stuff..........it is incredible. You can almost drink the stuff right from the bottle IMO. You put it on pancakes or ice cream if you want.
