    I listened to the Halifax show the other day...and I have to say...I don't think it's as good as either of the St. John's shows.


    I was at St. John's and Halifax, Listen Again my friend...Perhaps something is wrong with your Speakers??? This show was one of the top shows of the tour (along with Ottawa and The Gorge).



    Look what I found in the "Framed Poster" Thread in the Porch:

    I was at halifax, and both st. john's shows, and halifax was definitely the best of them all. But it was my first pj show, so I might be biased.

    I'm 9 chances out of 10 in that same boat...only NL being my 1st and 2nd.

    I don't know...it just seemed like the songs that they played just kicked you in the ass.

    Go...Even Flow...Animal...Corduroy.

    I Am Mine...Small Town...Black...RVM...Whiping...Do the Evo...Spin the Black Circle (LP's rock by the way!)

    Same for #2 Last Exit...Animal...SOLAT...Hail Hail...Corduory...

    Then you have the amazing songs in between, that I'm not gong to type out cause it would take me all night and I'm too lazy! haha


    Just find that the songs run together so good.

    That's just my 2 cents.

    your two cents are welcome, as we all have our own and since no two people can have the exact same experience we are all entitled to have different points of view. :)

    not only that, we all seem to be biased and lean more toward the shows we were actually in attendance for because, well, we were there, we have incredible memories and the songs are more meaningful.

    i'm glad you enjoyed the St. John's shows. i wish i could have gone. i haven't listened to them yet, but i'm hoping to soon.

    I'll agree with you. Go, Even Flow, Animal, Corduroy back to back after the opener was pretty intense. But I like the awe struck feeling of a show to hit you at the end, not a few songs into it.

    Not that it was a bad show, but seeing all those people sitting down (especially those two entire sections druring the 2nd set) just kinda bummed me out. I never understood why people would sit down...


    Maybe I'm posting in the wrong thread.

    The feeling of hearing Hard to Imagine as an opener was pretty damn unbeatable if you ask me. I doubt that I will ever experience the excitement on hearing the first song as that gave me. Also being closely followed by Animal and Corduroy was pretty awesome, not to mention Breath and Solat both being in the first set.

    i have not herd Saint John's but Halifax was my first pearl jam show and it was unreal way way better then the stones in Moncton and that was awsome to. we need pearl jam to play one of the three bigger cities in New Brunswick before they hit halifax this year although if they just hit halifax that will be ok as long as i get tickets ha ha.

    I was at the Halifax show and both of the St.John’s shows and I would have to say that halifax was the best of the three. The set was better and the crowd was more involved. I am happy to have attended all shows but I would rank them
    1 halifax
    2 st john’s 1
    3 st john’s 2
    So I bid farewell to the Eastern town I never more will see;
    But work I must so I eat this dust and breathe refinery.
    Oh I miss the green and the woods and streams and I don't like cowboy clothes;
    But I like being free and that makes me an idiot I suppose.

    Halifax was fucking amazing. 15th row on the floor and I couldn't be happier.

    I remember hearing hard to imagine during soundcheck and completely forgetting about it until hearing stone play those magical notes during the opener. Unfuckingbelievable.

    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Wow!
    I am so impressed this is still such an active thread!
    Halifax 2005 rocked!
    The excitement came rushing back for me when I saw the Touring Van DVD!
    Great piece of work!
    Next thing to look forward to? ....The "christmas" single. Heh! Heh!
    Anyone get theirs yet?

    seems to me that pj plays extended encores when the crowd shows it's ilk.

    rock on halifax, rock on
