    That's a great story, but it scuppers my theory.

    I noticed when flicking through the notebook with the Super-Deluxe Edition that the 1992 summer tour was scheduled to start in Dublin, then Belfast. I was gutted to realise how close I could have come to see PJ in their '92 heyday. Anyway, no idea why that didn't happen, but I got to thinking that, in their trawling through old memorabilia, they came acrosss this old schedule and decided to make amends this time around.

    That was my theory, but the notion that the OP planted the seed that grew into their first ever Belfast show is far cooler. :D

    ah yes - there it is - it looks like it was a London-based agents suggestions for a possible tour that summer

    turns out the band went to Rock am Ring in Germany (instead of doing Dublin & Belfast) - tsk tsk!

    What an amazing story, it's like a dream come true... unbelievable. Mate if I ever meet you in Belfast the beers are on me! (ever go see "pearl jem" at the spring and airbrake?) I hope you are one of the reasons the're coming to Belfast this summer it sort of fits with my view of what i think the guys are like if you know what i mean. How many gigs have i sat in the odssey watching secertly wishing it could be pj and now i still can't belive it. Great, great post made my night. :D

    i met all of them in a sauna in Edinburgh.. i'm sworn to secrecy obviously.. but all i can say is that Boom does not like people messing with his hair gels. :shock:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I asked Vedder after the SBE show if they were coming back to Scotland and the lying cunt said yes. I bet they switched it from Glasgow to Belfast after meeting yer man here in the hotel. :evil:
