  • I listened to the Halifax show the other day...and I have to say...I don't think it's as good as either of the St. John's shows.


    I was at St. John's and Halifax, Listen Again my friend...Perhaps something is wrong with your Speakers??? This show was one of the top shows of the tour (along with Ottawa and The Gorge).



    Look what I found in the "Framed Poster" Thread in the Porch:
    St. John's Sept 24-25 2005.

    I myself thing this is one of the best posters from the tour.

    A little Biased maybe? And nice framing job by the way. It looks FANTASTIC!

  • I was at halifax, and both st. john's shows, and halifax was definitely the best of them all. But it was my first pj show, so I might be biased.

  • I'm 9 chances out of 10 in that same boat...only NL being my 1st and 2nd.

    I don't know...it just seemed like the songs that they played just kicked you in the ass.

    Go...Even Flow...Animal...Corduroy.

    I Am Mine...Small Town...Black...RVM...Whiping...Do the Evo...Spin the Black Circle (LP's rock by the way!)

    Same for #2 Last Exit...Animal...SOLAT...Hail Hail...Corduory...

    Then you have the amazing songs in between, that I'm not gong to type out cause it would take me all night and I'm too lazy! haha


    Just find that the songs run together so good.

    That's just my 2 cents.

    your two cents are welcome, as we all have our own and since no two people can have the exact same experience we are all entitled to have different points of view. :)

    not only that, we all seem to be biased and lean more toward the shows we were actually in attendance for because, well, we were there, we have incredible memories and the songs are more meaningful.

    i'm glad you enjoyed the St. John's shows. i wish i could have gone. i haven't listened to them yet, but i'm hoping to soon.

  • I'll agree with you. Go, Even Flow, Animal, Corduroy back to back after the opener was pretty intense. But I like the awe struck feeling of a show to hit you at the end, not a few songs into it.

    Not that it was a bad show, but seeing all those people sitting down (especially those two entire sections druring the 2nd set) just kinda bummed me out. I never understood why people would sit down...


    Maybe I'm posting in the wrong thread.

  • The feeling of hearing Hard to Imagine as an opener was pretty damn unbeatable if you ask me. I doubt that I will ever experience the excitement on hearing the first song as that gave me. Also being closely followed by Animal and Corduroy was pretty awesome, not to mention Breath and Solat both being in the first set.

  • i have not herd Saint John's but Halifax was my first pearl jam show and it was unreal way way better then the stones in Moncton and that was awsome to. we need pearl jam to play one of the three bigger cities in New Brunswick before they hit halifax this year although if they just hit halifax that will be ok as long as i get tickets ha ha.
  • I was at the Halifax show and both of the St.John’s shows and I would have to say that halifax was the best of the three. The set was better and the crowd was more involved. I am happy to have attended all shows but I would rank them
    1 halifax
    2 st john’s 1
    3 st john’s 2
    So I bid farewell to the Eastern town I never more will see;
    But work I must so I eat this dust and breathe refinery.
    Oh I miss the green and the woods and streams and I don't like cowboy clothes;
    But I like being free and that makes me an idiot I suppose.
  • Halifax was fucking amazing. 15th row on the floor and I couldn't be happier.

    I remember hearing hard to imagine during soundcheck and completely forgetting about it until hearing stone play those magical notes during the opener. Unfuckingbelievable.

    I completely agree. Hearing them open with that blew my mind.

    Wow!
    I am so impressed this is still such an active thread!
    Halifax 2005 rocked!
    The excitement came rushing back for me when I saw the Touring Van DVD!
    Great piece of work!
    Next thing to look forward to? ....The "christmas" single. Heh! Heh!
    Anyone get theirs yet?

    that reminds me that i need to do something with those papers i picked up in Hali after the show. i was going to make a scrapbook but i don't have enough things to fill a book.

    maybe i should laminate the reviews so they don't fade and yellow with time.

    any suggestions?

  • laminate those, put your tickets in there, a setlist, any pics from that night, etc. Good idea.

    we're losing steam again.

    there's an awful lot of speculation and excitement in the Porch right now...it's almost overwhelming.

    they must be going to spill the beans on something soon, either tour dates or an album release date.

    the sharks smell blood and are circling!

    Ya know, there's so much stuff floating around on the Porch that I don't even want to go there. Something is certainly coming down soon about the tour, else Kat wouldn't have made those comments that she did. Won't be long now. I'm surprised by the level of secrecy re: the tour cities - sometimes there are leaks by people who work at the various venues, or who know people at different agencies related to the tours etc. But so far I haven't heard a damn thing.

    Also, would your fixation on the lottery have anything to do with that lucky fuck in NB who just won 12 mill ? I think about it alot. Its pretty bad when winning the lottery becomes your best bet for retirement income. **shakes head at how pathetic that is**

    i think i'm the bumping queen when it comes to the halifax threads.

    it may annoy some people, but to them i say Fuck Heineken! Give us a Keith's! :)

  • damn right lanners! :D ...and give us some good news too!...'06, please? :)
  • I remember it well... my first PJ show... my first concert really... the house lights were still up and it was early... half the crowd hadn't taken their seats but I was glued to mine... a cheer starts to erupt!... "is that Eddie?! is that Eddie on stage right in front of me!"

    "Drifting, drifting, drifting away.
    I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away.
    It's not the world that's heavy, just the things that you save.
    And I'm drifting, drifting away."

    I was never more happy :)
