  • There are a few of us in the greater Salt Lake area. Sadly most folks here are only concerned with bands like Nickleback and Buckcherry. I blame the radio stations personally - if it isn't in the top 40 they probably won't play it. On occasion a station will play something from 'Ten' or 'Betterman' or 'Daughter' but that's about as far as it goes.

    Also, I hope you are a fan of traveling to the shows because they haven't played Utah for about a decade and I doubt they will anytime soon.

    What? You mean they don't play the shit out of "Last Kiss" like they do around the east coast.

    I heard they will be playing Usana Amphitheater in September. ;)

    I know there are about a half dozen Utah Fans. Ute Lew comes to mind and another guy... ok I forgot his name but apparently he has a beard and a girlfiend :oops: :oops: :oops: and a few more that I cant remember.

    I am close by in Wyoming. Used to sign under "jaamfaan" until I decided to get rid of that hideous handle.

    I travel to SLC quite a bit for work and as others have said...the radio stations there suck bigtime!

    My girlfriend lives in the SLC area and I am out there for weeks at a time. She hasn't seen PJ before so if they do play Usana that would be awesome! I'll be back out there in 2 weeks for a month.

    E Center; that's about right for SLC. ESA is too big I think; they just don't have a big fan base in SLC anymore. They could draw from CO, ID, WY, etc. but I think E Center is apt.

    NOPE. I think 98 was the last year and then they put condos in where they used to hold shows. Too bad because it was a great venue and PJ in 98 was beautiful

    Of course they put condos in :roll:

    And Pj was great there... so there are no outdoor venues anymore? That's sad...

    There's a newer venue named Usana; I haven't been there but its not in a great place and just like all the other shitty amphitheaters out there that aren't natural like Gorge, Red Rocks, etc.

    Usana is in an inconvienient spot but its not a shitty venue by anymeans. The eagle are playing Rio TInto Stadium (also in a bad spot traffic wise) this summer. PJ would never fill it but it would be an awesome venue.

    E Center is perfect for them. Last time they played there was in 98 and the show was originally scheduled for the Delta center, but ticket sales forced them to relocate the show to the Canyons. They don't have a huge fanbase in Utah, E Center would be a perfect venue for them. Sep 28th for the E Center? Who heard this? I'm there if its true!

    It was on the board earlier in the week from some guy who knows the booker for the E Center.

    YOu can add 1 more fan to the SLC fanbase baby! Sat front row last time they were here...Ed spit on me during Hail, Hail! Never forget the day - it was on Father's Day back in 98' and he sang the best version of release I've ever heard!

    Remember in 95' they sold out the Delta Center/ESA 2 nights in a row...The E center has better sound so even if it is smaller - I'd rather them play there. But I'd almost guarentee they'd sell out the ESA...

    USANA would almost sell out too! They are bigger here than people want to give credit for...There are a ton of old school fans who have maybe lost touch - but they are still fans...Just not as big of fans as you an I...

    They could sell out Rio Tinto...get dam close anyways

    I'm not holding my breath that they will play here...If it happens I'll be thrilled - but I'm not counting on it...Would be nice - because I have a wife and kids now...So traveling isn't an option anymore...It is but it isn't a priority. Unless they come to Vegas or Boise - I'll miss out on them.

    But they'd get a really good welcoming if they came...
    Makes much more sense to live in the present tense!

    I've seen RHCP, KISS, Aerosmith (twice), Metallia, Journey, REO, Styx all at the Delta Center, or now the Energy Solutions Arena, and think they all could've been better had they played elsewhere. THe sound just isn't as good in the ESA as it is in the E Center.

    Release from the '98 Park City show??? FUCK yeah, that version is the best in existence!!!

    Yep, you're the bearded one!

    I also thought Usana was quite small compared to the E center but I have never looked at the seating capacity there. E center says it will hold 12,000 with an end stage config.

    I know for a fact that exiting Usana is a fucking joke! We went there so see Jack Johnson last year and wondered why the peeps in the car next to us laid their seats back and took a nap. Stoned? Drunk? Nope, they knew it would take over an hour and a half to get out of the freakin parking lot.
