From Newfoundland, Thank You PJ: Next time, OUTDOORS!

NewfiePJNut

So, anyone else up for an Outdoor Pearl Jam show in Newfoundland?

Also, what's the chances of the 2 St. John's show from this tour being released as an real live bootleg? I mean, it could be a 2 disk set and even include the screech in stuff as I think it was taped.

The ritual is different in a lot of ways depending on who does it. A lot of people make it very theatrical while others will keep to the basics... which at least involves 1 shot of Newfie Screech and a kiss of the cod. There are other things like learnin' Newfoundland lingo and sayin'/Singin' lines of Newfie music but basically it's the shot and the cod that overtakes the ritual.

Here's some info on Screech and Screech In's...

You're friend is right though, we do pride ourselves with being extreamly kind and generous. We love people almost as much as we love our Province, which indeed is quite breathtaking.

As for the 1/2 hour time difference, it's basically because of where we lay on the map. Because we are the eastern most point in North America, we're a little removed from the rest of the continent, enough to have our own time zone. Basically, the sun rises here before anywhere. You'll see what I'm talkin' about if you look at any map of North America.

HOORAY FOR SCREECH!!! Getting Screeched In was SOOOOOO fun and I would do it all over again Especially because Keith and Christian's made it great!!!

I love everything and everyone that has to to with the Newfoundland Pearl Jam experience!!!

One thing with the Screech In is that's it's not just a lil thing to do for fun. The persons that take part in the Screech In become honorary Newfoundlanders.
They get a certificate (most of the time) stating that they did the initiation and they can go anywhere in the world and tell whoever they meet that they are from either where they were from (in the case of the band Seattle) or from Newfoundland.

Sooo….by that rational…we can now say that grunge more or lest started in Newfoundland.

:-D

So lets see…we are now famous for our bad weather, the Newfoundland Dog, the Labrador Retriever and Grunge!

Haha

And as for the outdoor concert…that would be great…I like the stadium though, as there is a better chance in actually seeing the band.

Hell I don’t care where they play, I’d go see them wherever.

If they were playing on a barge in the St. John’s harbour and I had to float in the shit bubble to see them I’d do it.

NewfiePJNut

Figure this is a good time to bump this baby.

I'm dying to see PJ again and I can't afford to see them elsewhere... right now anyway. I know it's pretty much a snowballs chance in hell that they'll come back to the rock but, one gotta hope.

Your probably right about the stadium concert Jamie. The smaller the venue the better really. However, there's something special about 30, 000 people or more gathering together, which is what you could only get outdoors in this province.

pepsigators

they'll be back.......maybe in 2007 who knows

NewfiePJNut

I hope you're right.

i've posted much about halifax, and it was great, and St. John's was also great. from walking up the hill to the battery, to chillin at The Chill.. friendly people everywhere and, of course, the Noise in Mile One.

Cheers!!

I had a great time in St John's. Meeting Mike & Stone were just one of the many highlights of that weekend. It is such a great town. Beautiful place with great people. An outdoor show would kick ass for sure, I am not sure if I could make it back for the outdoor show but I would try!!

The walk to Ches' from the Delta almost freakin' killed us

Twice now I have been to Newfoundland and I still haven't been to Gros Morne. I must make it there.

SarahCanada

the newfoundland experience was great except for one thing: the complete idiots working at the venue. the lack of concerts held in the area really showed by the employees.

nice place that i would like to go back to..

NewfiePJNut

I'm hoping PJ feel the same way.

You're probably right about the workrs too Sarah. We didn't have a very good experience with them either but... we weren't being the smartest of people either. Smokin' J's inside is a hard thing to get away with....

NewfiePJNut

Damn, I really wish there were more Newf's here to keep these sorta (PJ in Newfoundland) threads alive.

rambo

an outdoor concert would be amazing!!

I know it wont happen this summer but i hope to god it will next year!!!
PJ RULES!!!

Hey boys, and gals. I am a newfie living in Toronto. I went home last August, finally climbed Gros Morne, what a fuckin treat. Notin but friggin rocks.I loved it. Hadn't been home in years.I am from Deer Lake.My cousin saw Pearl Jam in St.John's.Was it a great show? I saw my first show last sept in T.O. Amazing.If the guys had a ball on the Rock, they'll be back I'm sure. I'll join any thread to beg them to do an outdoor show. Nothin beats an outdoor show and beer tent andSuch!!!! What about Quidi vidi park? Is that still an option.I saw Def Leopard, Meatloaf and April Wine there years ago, 1993 I think. LOvin you all , cheers T.C.

Lost_Clay

I'd fly over again in a heartbeat, the scenery, the people, the hospitality, the great places to eat breakfast (hehe)

the concerts were amazing, that saturday night on george street was the most fun i've had in a long time, all good vibes all around all over town!!

an outdoor gig would be A phackin' +

take care you guys & gals

Michael Ryder fuckin rocks

NewfiePJNut

Yes, yes he does. Havin' a great playoffs this year and I'm secretly hoping that the Canadians win the cup... and I fucking hate the Canadians. I just think it would be cool to have the cup on the island for a while.

Bowring Park for PJ would be unbelievable... or somewhere on Signal Hill. That would be incredible too and the by's sure love the ocean.

Anywhere outdoors on the rock and I'm there. Anywhere, anywhere on the rock for that matter.

Please come back. I hate to beg but... I can't help it. I'm going through PJ withdrawls.

Lost_Clay

it's that hometown pride syndrome hehe

same thing happenned to me in 2004, tampa bay make a run in the playoffs (hate that team) but our local island boy leads the way & takes the conn smythe! i could see Ryder doin the same thing this year, he's been solid all year and will probably step up now that captain koivu is out

does anybody have pics of bowring park? sounds interesting, a show anywhere near signal hill would be EPIC!

NewfiePJNut

Holy fuck bys. They should totally play in Mount Pearl.

Mount Pearl Jam 2007!

NewfiePJNut
