A guy who informed me of the two Camden shows in '06 before they were announced and who also passed along to me rough copy of the last album before it was released just texted me, saying Camden will get two shows in July. I hope he's right. He was legit last time. Here's hoping!

    I scavanged up coin for my wife and I to go out to Santa Cruz to get our fix, and it would be poetic that PJ would come to Camden after all that...

    Venue is fine. Was there back to back nights when PJ played there last tour.

    The parking lot, city, roads... pretty much everything other than the venue blew

    My buddy who usually knows these things has been telling me that as well. Well, it appears we won't have to wait much longer, but yeah, I've been hearing July for Camden and NYC for a bit now.

    Glad, I've timed leaving my current job for my new job for the end of June and I'm not starting till the end of July.

    Looks like it might be a month long trip for me following PJ around this summer. ;)

    I don't see what the big deal about Camden is. Cross the Ben Franklin Bridge and you barely have to do any driving and there's parking lots. Oh, such danger and dirt....

    I'd rather see them play in Philly, but I was kinda hoping for some summer shows in Camden. Easier to get tickets, and it's fun up on the lawn because you can actually hang out with a bunch of friends instead of being stuck in a seat with one person. At this point, I care more about being with friends than being close.
  • homeratbathomeratbat Posts: 219
    man i couldn't disagree more with the people who like or think camden is a fine venue...if you are off to the side you have a crappy seat, the sound isnt that great its a boring venue with no heart...SPECTRUM PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
  • dirtyFrank222dirtyFrank222 Posts: 124
    Yes at least one at the Spectrum!
  • TheGossmanTheGossman Posts: 1,120
    I would take spectrum over camden anyday, the only thing better about camden is the tailgate parties, by the time PJ took the stage in 06 everyone was so trashed, one of the worst crowds I've seen

    that crowd was awful! and i never understood getting so trashed that you don't remember the concert! whats the point of that? i talked to one guy three weeks later and he told me he couldnt name one song that was played...and he is in the 10 club!

    camden always breeds drunk college frat guys who have 0 interest in the band just there to get drunk and pee all over the lawn...

    Camden is fun, but the Lawn Sucks! Its not about being close, it is about quality of sound. Sound from the Lawn BLOWS. Dont waste your money.
    The Parking Lot is GREAT, hang with friends before the show for 5 hours grilling, drinking, then go see PJ in some seats...YES the Spectrum is much better, but Camden is great. You don't see anyone in Camden besides a shit ton of PJ fans and POlice.

    The Camden shows in 1998 and 2000 were unreal, so the place is capable of hosting a great show.
