    yea another band ruining punk rock. I thought boy bands were bad.

    I think they were about as punk rock as my grandmother:rolleyes:
    Halifax '05 was such an amazing night that I would love to see them play Halifax again. However, we were very lucky with our cross Canada tour last year so I guess they are off to other corners of the world... I may just have to run off to one of those to catch a show though ;)

    Maybe they're saving the best for last and we'll get both Petty and PJ in Halifax in the 3rd leg. I know, I know, fat chance! Too bad PJ don't do festival-type shows in North America because Moncton would love a Petty/PJ bill. No question!

    Good to see that I'm not the only one with my fingers crossed!!! The Magnetic Hill show has so far been nothing but a bunch of assumptions and rumours, who knows what'll happen. Having said that here's what I'm dreaming of, The Who-Tom Petty-Pearl Jam, what'd be wrong with that??
    I AM MINE !!!!!

    keep on dreamin' brother .. if this happens, i'll probably lose my job in the u.s.a. :)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Anyone have the latest news on the Magnetic Hill Concert???

    Front page of the Halifax paper (Daily News) is saying how the city of Halifax is in talks with trying to bring the Rolling Stones here this year...

    i haven't heard anything yet. it's been very hush hush. not like last year. everyone knew way in advance that the Stones were coming and the tickets went on sale in May.

    i suppose it is still April, but then again, i'd like to know so i can book off a day or two of vacation in case it's someone good and i decide to go.

    if i hear ANYTHING, even any rumours, i'll let you know.

    **edit**

    i just saw something online about a big country *gag* concert in August.

    btw...this thread comes up when you google magnetic hill concert..how odd!

    I wouldn't mind seeing the Stones again, especially in the Maritimes. I saw them twice so far on this tour. I wonder where they would stage it. How many does Citadel Hill hold? It would be great to have it at the Metro Centre as it would be more of an intimate affair...as far as the Stones go. Tickets would sell super fast too! But at 10000 seats that would probably be too small for the band.

    Personally, I didn't think that the Stones were planning to come back to North America on this tour. Nevertheless, I say bring it on!

    As far as a big Moncton concert this year, it's as the posters mentioned above. Unbelievably quiet as far as media but certainly lots of rumours, Coldplay being the latest. And yes, there was talk of also having a country concert with Keith Urban, Brooks & Dunn, etc...Eck! The town of Shediac are also trying to plan a concert as well. Apparently, one of the bands they had been recruiting was Aerosmith but that is no longer possible. Anyway, just hoping for a great summer of concerts for the Atlantic provinces.

    I think Citadel Hill can handle about 40,000...not quite sure. The last concert I remember was Tragically Hip and Our Lady Peace and there was a little over 30,000 and it seemed pretty full to me. I think if the Stones came, they'd look at doing it at the commons..which is where the pope had his mass years ago (ala Magnetic Hill)..so Im sure they'd consider that in terms of handling crowd. Or....plain ol Citadel Hill..which is an awesome place to see a show.

    Who knows..I just know I can't wait to hear who it may be...

    i can't believe they didn't end up playing Light Years.

    makes me kinda sad, then makes me feel guilty because i have no right to complain about the best night of my life.

    maybe next time they'll play it.

    Thing I noticed was they pretty much played all the songs from the playlist..aside from Light Years...that's a sign they were having a good time..and the crowd was keeping up with the flow.

    like i posted in the other halifax thread, i have to go away for a few days and won't be around to bump the hfx threads up to where they belong, so if everyone could look after them the way you have been doing all along, we can keep the memory of the incredible HFX show alive and kicking.

    Bump time...and I see that Moncton has announced one concert...I won't go in to details (country music)..but I wonder if there will even be a Rock one....

    A big rock show is still being worked on but could still go either way. Sounds like their trying to book the Eagles. Wouldn't mind seeing a little Tom Petty and Pearl Jam here in Moncton.
