Halifax was too fun of a show. Had a ball driving down as well. Stopped a park in wentworth and smoked some and drank some and threw rocks in the water. All while listening to the Quebec City bootleg that we had been at 2 nights before.

Wow, what's goin on here ? The Halifax thread has turned into a porn site, with people talking about "hot live injections" and dutiful procreation. By all means, sward, take one for the team ! Good thing that's not a team sport.

the cab driver i had today told me it was Tom Petty and three other acts. i pushed him for more info but he couldn't remember. all he could talk about was how Willy Nelson had sold out the Aitken Centre and INXS has only sold half the tickets for their show Sunday night. Then he went on about Willy Nelson going golfing at Kingswood on Thursday.

I asked if the guy who had told him (he sells tickets for all the big shows) had mentioned Pearl Jam and the guy said he didn't think so.

I can dream, right?

Halifax was one of the best experiences of my PJ existance. Fans were great, S-K was awesome. Thanks Ten Club for great seats. Thank PJ for the great setlist and show. Thanks Halifax for Keiths and the beauty of Nova Scotia. Would trade my brothers right arm for another chance to return to Halifax.

Hate to burst anyone's bubble but I don't think the concert announcement on Mondday is for the "rock" show on the Hill. The announcement is going to be for a classic rock show that will take place in Shediac on July 2nd. The bands that will be playing are CCR, Steppenwolf and Foghat.

However, it did say in the Moncton newspaper this weekend that a show for the Hill will be announced early in the week if everything goes through. Failing this, there may not be a rock show on the Hill this year.

Also, there is going to be another classic rock show in New Brunswick but will be taking place in Woodstock on August 19th (same day as Country show at the Hill). Yet another group of washed up has-beens consisting of CCR, Lou Gramm of Foreigner and get this Survivor (think Eye of the Tiger).

For those who like their music a little more current there is the Festival of Lights concert in PEI. The line-up this year is supposed to be: The Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts, Matt Mayes and El Torpedo, and Joel Plaskett.

As far as Tom Petty coming to Moncton, chances are pretty slim as he only seems to tour exclusively within the States. Personally, I think it may end up being something like a Bon Jovi and Nickelback bill this year. I could be wrong but who knows. I know that Shediac had tried them but were too expensive for their blood. We'll just have to wait and see.

fuck I hope its not Nickelback

Nickleback and Theory of a Deadman aren't the same group? I thought they were the same, only one was the bad hair day version of the other.

I sat on pins and needles all morning waiting for the announcement and you were right, funkymonk, it was for the show in Shediac which doesn't interest me one bit.

I think i'll have to just accept that Wilco will be the only show i'll catch this summer and be done with hoping for anything else.

I heard through the grapevine that we'll hear by Wednesday regarding a Magnetic Hill show in September...if not, it won't happen.

I officially have no idea who it 'could' be

sward

Papers today are talking about the Rolling Stones playing Halifax in September..actually the 23rd..a day later than PJ from last year. Interesting.


It will be interesting if Moncton gets a big show for the labor day weekend. Then we'll have another rocking September like last year. But alas..no PJ....hopefully someone I would still love to see. Saw the Stones last year and it was great..but Im not a huge fan..so I'm not sure I'd go this time around..but..it is in my backyard! ;-)

To anyone on the Hali thread who's going to the TO show(s) *grits teeth* .......
HAVE FUN!!!

funkymonk

I'm still debating on catching PJ in Boston but I already have a few concerts lined up already (Radiohead, NIN, RHCP) that will require some travel so I'm not sure if I could swing it or not. The more I listen to the new album the more I try to convince myself.

That would be awesome if both Moncton and Halifax could manage to pull off some big shows this year. I was starting to get a little depressed hearing about the country concert, Dennis DeYoung and the has-been "classic" rock shows that were announced. By the way, the Dennis DeYoung show has been cancelled thankfully enough. Apparently, when the Junos were in Halifax one of the band members from the Black Eyed Peas were reported to say that they would be returning in August. Can't really say that I'm a fan though, well, maybe Fergie.

i hope that Truthmonger is having fun at the show right now and drumming up support for the East Coast.

who am i kidding..Truth is rockin out.

Hope we get to have some PJ fun this year. *hint* *hint*
