I was on the hill at the back for the stones and it was fine. It just sucks that these bands that haven't been down here in ages wont come because of one stupid arena. I mean it's a longer trip from Sydney to Perth than it is from Sydney to NZ and they're still bloody playing Perth! They even played Perth last time!
FUCK YOU PERTH!!! (lol)
I dont think that Manukau place is ideal, it just seems like a giant cultural events centre. Think its more like a basketball court that wouldnt hold too many..
North Shore doesnt do concerts now appparently, I actualy always thought the Caketin in Welly would be not bad..ah who cares play at the sweaty stinky Supertop for all I care, just dont let me miss out on front row.
And having read the Rock newswire, it doesnt say there will be no NZ show. It just says they're having difficulties at the moment. Good to see there will be a DVD later in the year though, thats cool.
And anyone half pie excited that there might be a reformed Alice in Chains concert at some stage? I know it says its a world tour and doesnt guarantee anything, but id be over the moon if that happened...even without LayneIts been 8 years, but I still believe...PJ in NZ 06!

stones were pretty good in the caketin... cept i'm half blind so couldn't see shit anyway.
read the split enz thing in the paper the other day,... they'r emoving their base to london because one of neils sons going to some wanky college....but good on him he got there tho......
and stop being so damn bitter about pearl jam. wrong attitude3.... theres other things to worry about over if they play here.... i'm sure they will but you can go to aussie to see them, if its that much of a bother to you.

I agree Western Springs is an option - but it was an option in 03 and they didnt take it. So I doubt they would this time
I still think vector will be ready......

Yeah dont make her grumpy man, shes like the life and soul of this thread. And she said shes shouting the whole night if the concert goes ahead, so gotta love that. Especially Auckland town prices!Its been 8 years, but I still believe...PJ in NZ 06!

Can't see them in Australia because...
a) It costs about $500 return + accommodation and it's spare money I don't have.
b) I'm fairly certain all shows are sold out.
Werd to the stones, they were pretty awesome. PJ Would kick ass doing a November concert @ the Springs. Imagine how awesome it would be to see them start @ dusk and finish in the dark.0 -

At the end of the day, the issue is this - PJ want to play here in a decent indoor venue - that is their call.
Why cant they? because we have a stupid ressource management act that prevents decent infrastructure from being built - or gives neighbours too much say.
I do not want to see Pearl Jam at Western springs with all its resource compliance issues - ie low sound early finish etc.
Maybe if auckland had decent local/central government these issues wouldnt be as significant a barrier to quality entertainment as what they are.
Go to melbourne, check out its highways, its venues, dont be jealous because their government/private sector has invested the money, ours wont so we miss out

Hey,
I just wish you guys would chill,
Im in Toronto, and i got to meet the band (not boasting or anything), But every one of the members were adament that they were coming to NZ.. Eddie seemed excited about it quite frankly...
Listen... Just relax... its on the tour guide...
Theyve only just announced the portland show right ( and thats only 1 month or so out) so anything is possible...
Its going to happen...... keep your heads up high...
you know what... ?? Its possible that they do the St James... and do it over a week (like the 7 worlds) thats can be turned into a seated venue..and think that would be an awesome show for the 10 clubbers . and ed liked that venue... although i doubt that they would do it....
All im saying... is stop with the negativity... its still 4 or so months away...
i remember they announced the Yield tour like 2 months out... (obviously after months of speculation like we are having now)
It will happen guys and gals!

Hello my people....
REM were fantastic at the Bowl.... seriously, as were Mark Knopfler, UB40, Stevie Nicks, blah blah blah... tehy were all great.... Pearl Jam would be fantastic there..... TOOL would be super.
party for sure.... bring steinlager.Just For Today, I Am Free...0 -
No mention of anything interesting from Neil Finn on Sainsbury's weak ass talk show, unless there was Split Enz touring remarks after I turned off that crap after the 1st break. New Zealand just has to face that we cant do talk shows, watching Letterman every night its clear theres only one king.
Whats the chances we might be the first place to get Big Wave live? I know Ed loves surfing out here so itd have meaning, and unless a coast town like Cali or if Aussie gets it then we could be in. Long shot I know but id love to hear it.Its been 8 years, but I still believe...PJ in NZ 06!
