    The source on WAAF has been right before. Not saying he's right this time, but I wouldn't be surprised that he has some inside info.

    I tend to agree. One, they will play til curfew and I don't see them playing for four hours. Two, when have they ever played a show with an intermission break. Not really their style.

    Fenway Park tweets "6 hours now" at 12:30. Not sure what's what but you better believe I'll be at my seat by 6:30.

    It's very possible waaf & Dooley got their info from the same source (maybe Dooley WAS 'aaf's source)

    I have 3 inquiries in to PJ's Twitter feed...... I'm hoping for a response as I'm going to be hard pressed for 6:30 also.

    6:30pm set start with a 5pm doors opening time would seem to be a stretch for the security check teams. Haven't PJ delayed start times before because of slow admission lines? And 5pm on a work day in Boston is in the thick of the commuter rush for the T and highways. But an acoustic set would be amazing! Hope its true and also for Sunday!

    they have started a show before with 10% of the fans in the seats (7/11/03) while they did they acoustic set. However they did inform everyone of the start time the night before. the tickets say 630.
  • I bet it's 730 start as that is what ten club said. 630 may b leaking to get as many ppl there as early as possible so security lines aren't as big of an issue.

    looks like they pushed soundcheck back to yesterday to possibly add some playing time tonight?

    Totally different circumstances. They knew they had Sleater Kinney to play in between and they were trying to play their touring catalog (which they didn't haha) and they told people they were playing early. One of the biggest shows of the year and they're gonna go on at 630 when their fan club emailed members about a 730 set time. Just don't buy it.

    I heard start at 6:30 with an intermission, then a set, then an intermission to close the show

    Yeah that 10 Club email is really the key here, I think. I would be shocked if they came out at 630 after that email, I don't think they'd do that to fanclub members

    As someone already mentioned, PJ is probably letting the rumors float just to get people in there so they can start by 7:30 or so. (no response from my multiple requests for confirmation) I saw a picture of the security line @ Gate B to get into McCartney and it was almost all the way back to Boylston Street. Screening's going to be intense for this show, I'm expecting long lines to get in.

    I'm still going to get in ASAP, but I would be surprised if it's a 6:30 start.

    I guess we shall see. Just kinda disappointed the fan club would tell people 730 set time.

    did you think that could have been the plan from the beginning, and circumstances outside their control might have made them change? or perhaps they want to play longer?

    I'm all for spontaneous creative ideas that will no doubt be amazing. I'm also for transparency. If this is something that popped up the last couple days, then I don't see why ten club can't send out an email saying to disregard the 730 set time they alluded to.

    It's possible they didn't realize how firm the curfew is when they sent the 10c email out and shit changed. Get there at 5-5:15 or pay the price

    I doubt this, the curfew's been in place for at least a few years.

    I just heard 24 seconds past 7:17 from some homeless guy around Fenway. He seemed legit.
