    Hope they come back to the maritimes. I vote for a Magnetic Hill concert like the Stones had in Moncton this summer. Seeing the band in an outdoor venue is my dream.


    Barrie 98 was outdoors. It was good. You miss some of the crowd noise (Halifax might have had a 1/3 of the size from Barrie but was 100 times louder.) I think Magnetic Hill would be one for the ages. Imagine the setlist they'd throw out htere for 85,000 fans? I'm sure it would be the largest crowd they ever play too.

    Here's what I am loving almost 2 weeks after seeing PJ in Halifax:

    1. The boot. It's great even after 95 listens.
    2. The new fans or fans with a renewed interest in the band. I have talked to a lot of people who were blown away by the show. Some listened to PJ back in the day and had drifted away..but PJ is all they talk about lately.
    3. The fact that there are so many fans out there that I didn't know existed or that frequented the board. You mean I am not alone? ;-) Yay!
    4. The memories. It was an amazing night and one I hope is repeated in the not too distant future.

    Hate to break it to you but Pearl Jam would not bring in 85,000 to magnetic hill... be a sweet show though.

    This was discussed much earlier in the thread, but such a show is something that the band has no interest in playing. They did not directly participate in Live8 because of their concerns with playing large (50,000+) general admission, festival seating shows. They "lost nine friends" five years ago, so they are not going to put themselves in that position again.

    I am sure if they come back they could sell out tickets to 2 shows in hours. It would be great, it's been two weeks and my friends, most of which are still talking about the show. I hope to see them a agian soon even if that means a road trip to Boston or Montreal. Another Atlantic province show would be awesome but after that I would want another and another and another.

    i don't know why other bands haven't hopped on the bootleg bandwagon...i don't think my copy of the halifax show will ever come out of my discman or off my computer. every time i listen to it i hear something else that i missed.

    i need to win that $14 million lotto 649 jackpot tonight to feed my live PJ crack habit. ;)

    some other bands are getting into it... mostly ones with very loyal fans who live for the music. the black crowes flirted with the outfit Instant Live on their tour and made a handful of the shows available (including the one i went to in montreal), but i think pearl jam, by operating it themselves, have done it best and cheapest so far.

    Applies to pearl jam as well ;)

    Did you check out the free concert on wednesday? Ketih's Birthday celebrations with joel plaskett :)........and the trews............ :(
    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.
