Def could go for CT Dodge music center but i believe now it is live nation something
live nation is taking over the world0 -
god help youI wouldn't mind Jones Beach myself, even though I'm now a... "Virginian"...sigh
VA beach amp is just as tough0 -
You know, I do have the answer to which venue.
PEARL JAM AT LIBERTY STATE PARK.
It's the most breathtaking view of Manhattan as the backdrop to the stage, and next to the statue of liberty.
...and MAKE IT A 20TH ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL WITH:
-Soundgarden (back together for this event only)
-Ben Harper
-Buzzcocks
-and other bands
Plus, with special guests Jack Irons, Dave Abbruzzese and Dave Krusen joining Pearl Jam for a few songs each.
ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

Logistically Liberty State Park is a nightmare. It took like 3 hours to even get back on the ferry saturday night after Radiohead last year and you had to drink your beer in this little stupid enclosure.Out of the Blue and Into the Black................Uncle Neil Philly 08 here I come!!!!0

Exactly!
WHO could resist? Seriously - a 20th anniversary festival, with all past and present members of Pearl Jam performing, as well as a super collection of like-minded music.
...anyone want to join in a letter-writing campaign to PJ headquarters with me? It may get some attention.
(and there's logistical issues with every venue except major cities - I'd take the above event in exchange for 4 hours of traffic!)ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

Its been a long time since I saw a show at the FHTS. Grew up in Astoria, it was only 15 minutes away by car from home but I still don't know how we made it back being so damn drunk. I didn't drive then but I was stupid enough to get in the car. The things we did when we were young :?josevolution wrote:Rubberbandman wrote:so pretty much everyone is oppsosed to Jones Beach and that being the only Outdoor NY area venue?

What You Giving
I suggest you step out on your Porch.
Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!0 -
Thanks to you fuckers I had to listen to "Its OK"
I was at that show as well...the venue was blah...I remember a lot of bugs

Yeah now it is the 'Comcast Theatre,' not to be confused with the 'Comcast Center' right up the road in Mansfield, MA. Whatever happened to the good old days of just calling venues a name and sticking with it (like The Meadows or Great Woods)? Corporate bullshit. Those are both great names btw and they will be how I refer to those venues forever!Hartford 06

how long ago ?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
Not quite the way things work, just ask OBI
JB is still my favorite venue, i have to see at least one show there a summer even though I'm now a jersey girl
I saw all 3, not as good as the garden shows, but GREAT to see PJ there
Come back to Long Island, PLEASE'96 7 shows / '97 3 shows / '98 15 shows
'00 12 shows / '03 4 shows / '06 6 shows
'08 3 shows / '09 5 shows / '10 6 shows0 -
I know. Its annoying. Like when Mansfield and Camden were both called the Tweeter Center.Brownie9160 wrote:Rubberbandman wrote:Def could go for CT Dodge music center but i believe now it is live nation something

talk about a waste of a venue, look at this for NYers / Long Islanders that never has good acts and its a perfect location. Run by the town of brookhaven so its restricted on what comes in there0 -
Jones beach sucks...esp if its windy the wind just takes the sound...but i was very happy seeing all 3 pj shows...night 3 being the best 7 no code tunes..yeah!!!!!!!!!!!0
