of course i get to see "Daughter" followed by "Its OK' time and time again on touring band and that is great but in person at the beach, would top off a great summer of concerts. Lets see they havent played on long island since 03 ? i believe so its perfect
I was at night two -- what a beautiful day out there waiting for the tickets and tailgating, and I'll never forget seeing that "It's OK" tag.
I was there too...awesome day. I remember betting someone that I could throw a football farther than he could in exchange for beer. I won the bet :-) This version was on Touring Band, right?
I took my best friend to that show, his first Pearl Jam show, a show he wasn't really in to, and guess which of us gets his face shown prominently on the DVD during that song?
:roll:
"They said ... timing was everything
made him ... want to be everywhere
there's a ... lot to be said for nowhere."
you probably can but no one is trying the venue is terrible for fans but never the less the only outside NY venue
sound issues, no alcohol, they are so strict, how can you see PJ at the beach without a beer? come on now lol
ps dont tell pearl jam lol

i would have told my friend to leave, go wait in the car
i have converted 3 people to big PJ fans just by seeing them live
That is the worst venue ever i hope they never play there again talk about restricting you can't even get a beer in that dump ,for those nights it was good back then you could at least get a drink inside now forget it ...plus after 03 they will never play here again hence my location ....sorry to be negative but that place just hirks me to no end
plus after 03 they will never play here again hence my location
you think the booing at the coliseum to bushleaguer they wont come back?
ps jones beach is the biggest waste of a venue ever the people that run that place have no clue
but once again dont tell PJ
yep that was it i sat 6th row dead center that night and the look on ED'S face spoke volumes i hope some day they prove me wrong but i just don't see it happening again ...

beautiful location, but thats where it ends
and if the wind blows just a little bit, the sound is awful
damn shame about uniondale, I think we were about to get an epic show until "it" happened
when you say "people who run that place", who do you mean? ...it's the same production staff who handle Nassau and MSG.
there is no way , nassau and msg are great places to see shows . i believe the sponsor of jones beach whatever it is now, nikkon, hilfiger whatever have to do with what they bring in there
Nikon at Jones Beach just checked
I was at night two -- what a beautiful day out there waiting for the tickets and tailgating, and I'll never forget seeing that "It's OK" tag.
I was at night 2 as well. Its Ok was definitely awesome!

Yes way. I worked backstage in NY area for years. I worked about 30 shows at Jones Beach, and about another 250 shows at MSG, Nassau, CAA, and Hammerstein mostly. I could explain further, but suffice it to say a sponsor of the venue has practically nothing to do with the shows.

dont see how that is possible since MSG and Nassau is so liberal and Jones beach is so strict, regardless
might be since Jones beach is in the middle of nowhere and the only way really to get there is by car, that was my thought process. I would imagine a sponsor who is paying a ton of money to a venue has some say in how the venue works

I completely agree with you. Unless you're in that lower tier the sound can be pretty off. I was stuck up towards the back for night 2 in 2000 and thought it was a great show, but the sound just wasn't great where I was and took away from the intensity of the experience.

I felt the same exact way being in the way back myself that night.

thats 3 words but anyway lol
it is state land but guess who pays for those venues to run? the sponsors, the state of NY is not footing the bill
hence why haven't you seen Marilyn manson? or ozzfest there?

Thru 2000.
The promoter who is now Live Nation (formerly Delsener/Slater, then SFX, then Clear Channel, now Live Nation) books shows at most of the NY area venues - (actually, now that LN is one big monopoly, they book all over the world) so they just line up a band with a venue, and voila, a show... and string a bunch of those together for a tour. It's a bit more complex than that, but that's the gist of it. I worked for Delsener/Slater as well as Metropolitan Ent - competing companies, now both together under Live Nation.
...but it sounds like you are talking about who handles the management of the venue which deals more with the fan's experience (policies for alcohol, etc, though if I remember correctly there's no alcohol allowed on state park property) and not so much to do with who plays at a venue. That is very much a venue-to-venue difference and venues as far as fans are concerned can have big differences. Seems like that is what you meant now.
Whether or not a band chooses a venue due to policies of the venue, I don't know if they know that in advance. I'd speculate that a band will recall whether they personally remember having a good experience at a venue, and probably also book based on that as well as financials, as venues have different operating costs.

I was never good at math anyway
I know, but the state retains some liability for what happens on its property-hence the limited alcohol sales and strict lot enforcement
same with the APW festival in jersey, alcohol sales are limited due to the festival being on state property
