Winnipeg Sept 17 2011 Pearl Jam plays MTS centre. Sept 24 Randy Bachman and Fred Turner play MTS centre. Neil Young overdue in gracing Winnipeg with his presence. Prediction: Pearl Jam takes the stage and ROCKS the house then Uncle Neil takes the stage and also brings up Randy Bachman to blow the roof off in celebration of PJ20. I was @ PJ20 in Wisconsin and the vibe on the second night just felt like Uncle Neil was near, unfortunately didn't happen but would have been absolutely electric... Disclaimer: No actual evidence of such events that will take place but it would be memorable. (Just don't understand why Neil would take the stage in T.O.) Winnipeg needs some love Neil....

    Fuck it, bring out Burton Cummings while you're at it! :D:D
  • According to their website, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner are in Newfoundland tonight, and then they are off to Thunder Bay for the 22nd before they hit Manitoba. I wouldn't object to seeing Neil show up again on this tour, but I wouldn't bet on it. Like people expecting Chris Cornell to show up in Toronto on night II, this seems a bit too far-fetched even for a fantasy.

    (Of course, if Neil Young did show up for the show, I'd be buying this boot instantly, so here's hoping :lol: .)

    I think Neil took the stage in Toronto because he was there premiering his Jonathan Demme directed movie at the same film festival Crowe was premiering PJ20. So, just with his being in the same town, hanging out at the same film festival led to his joining them on stage for their show. But I do hope he somehow shows at any of the remaining Canadian shows.

  • SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is not a rumour then, just a fantasy of yours.

    This will not happen as much as I would love it to.

    And no idea way he would play in TO???????? Well for starters we was there at the same time for the film festival and not to mention that is were he is from. Many reasons for him to be there.
  • I would actually love it more if Cummings came out (with Bachman, but he's not available as stated before) to play American Woman or something. That would make it special for Winnipeg only. Neil isn't the Winnipeg boy everyone tries to say he is. He lived here as a teen only. Winnipeg tries to claim him, but he's not really ours.

    The Guess Who boys are ours. you know, the ones who blew the Beatles off the charts. :D
