I will be in halifax for hocky games at the metro cent on the one year anny and i think they need to come back soon because as i have said befor here that was the best sow ever and i still need to hear black and yellow ledbetter live so come back soon.

the_lemon

did anybody notice that most of the people that post in this thread are from fredericton so why are we pushing for a halifax show. I say fredericton or Saint John and Halifax 2007 we have kept this thread alive we deserve to be rewarded.

i second a saint john show........

Fleeting Transient

I'll "third" that motion for a Saint John! show

lanners

i'll fourth a SJ show, AND another Halifax show...it was magical.

I don't think the Aiken Centre in Fredericton would be big enought to hold a Pearl Jam show. I'd be up for both a Saint John and Halifax show.

Now that I'm back from exile, I wanted to add my 2 cents to the Saint John/Halifax discussion. If there's only one show to be had(a very likely scenario), I'd like to state my preference here : (Lanners, you might find this funny)



HALIFAX PLEASE (notice the poilte tone - LOL)

Who am I but the prodigal son
Back on the boards from the brink.
T'was an MT slight where things came undone,
And the Kool-Aid I chose not to drink.

"Shoulda just dropped it", said the artful spy
And life would be simpler that way.
Who wants to go without "Given To Fly"
For all of the night and a day ?

A thousand posts in, perhaps I was due
The two mods I did disappoint.
A constant vigil with trouble in lieu
If ourselves we choose to annoint.

So upon my return comes a call for Saint John,
By some Jammers who seem rather keen.
But the last 24 teach of 'fax and anon,
With invective nowhere to be seen.

Its clearly a test I'll meet with all tact,
You'll see the new plane that I'm on.
I'll say it nicely, no need to redact
Just don't play that gig in Saint John !!

Pearl Jam at the Aitken centre sounds good to me. I live about 30 seconds to campus. We could party here!!!

the atiken center is probably to small for pearl jam thats why i brought up saint john as a more realistic thought for a peal jam show. although it sucks that a city with 12000 university students during the school year gets boned for concerts. the best big shows here in the last couple of years wer collective soul, bryan adams and willie nelson which were all really great shows but kind of artists no longer at the peak of their poularity unlike pearl jam. so i would like to see us get some more top name talent here.

the_lemon

am i the only one posting on here today

By the way...the Wintersleep seed is being planted this week.........

Maybe because the Aitken Centre is a terrable venue for a concert, It is basically one large piece of cement, with chairs, horrible sound, and a staff that won't let you stand.. I Hate it and often drive to Saint John, Halifax, or Moncton. Fredericton has tons of great music, but Freddy needs a better live venue for large shows. My ultimate PJ experience would be the Fredericton playhouse..that would be cool..But considering this thread is called Halifax 2006, we should put all of our collective powers into getting Eddie and the Boys to Halifax.

the_lemon

agreed 100% but something closer where i could stand in line for tickets insted of having a four hour fight to get though on the phone and nearly having a breakdown, ha ha

The Moncton Coliseum is basically the same thing. It's like listening to music in a tin can. Someday, someone at City Hall is going to have to grow some balls and put the wheels in motion for the construction of a new arena in Moncton. I think the city has certainly outgrown the usefulness of the Coliseum. As I've stated before I often prefer to go to Metro Centre for shows if I have a choice.

How about the bandstand in what's left of downtown Sackville (NB not NS), or perhaps the Midgic Convention Centre and Airport facility?
