    some jackass multiple posted and we're getting bumped down too far...sooooooo...

    BUMP BA BUMP BUMP

    gotta keep the East Coast love alive!

    okay, how bout we each recap a couple of our favourite songs/moments from the halifax show:

    Betterman (for the sing-along!)
    Small Town (because i've always wanted to experience the "I just want to scream HELLO!" part live, and i wasn't disappointed!)
    In My Tree (my seats were so high the sky i scraped but this song still blew me away)

    those are but three highlights.

    who's next?

    Leatherman- is one of my favorite rarities.
    Love boat captian- I am not the biggest fan of this song but they did it great here.
    Everything else was great!

    Well, as many of you know, I didn't actually attend the show. But after listening to the boot 21,576 times, after watching the 58-minute video, after seeing countless pics of the show, after absorbing every little piece of minutiae I could aboot[sc] the show, and, after being in the Metro Centre numerous times over the years for concerts past, I feel I was an honourary attendee. So here goes.....

    Hard to Imagine - wicked opener. couldn't ask for more
    In My Tree - how could anyone not like this tune ?
    Small Town - heard this song 4 million times, never get sick of it.

    Also noteworthy:

    RVM - awesome long version

    Not For You - second half of that song kicks ass. keep hearing new things.

    Bushleaguer - moody ending. I like it ! ah yes, the immenseness of suffering.

    Down (replete with a Tiverton balancing act). Replicate that one you half-assed mf'ing tribute bands !!

    One thing aboot the show that I noticed, and it was something that someone from Calgary brought up. This person had gone to both the Calgary and Halifax shows and mentioned that, at times, the Halifax crowd seemed to be a bit reserved. I presume he meant for the singing parts, which I noticed myself on Love Boat Captain and a few other songs. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I get the feeling that some people in Halifax might not have known that the concert was going to be such a sing-a-long. Or was it simply that those parts didn't show up on the boot ?! I dunno. But I think one thing is certain - should they ever return, I don't think someone will be pointing out how reserved the Halifax crowd was. (and just for the record, I don't think Halifax was all that reserved, except for maybe the singing parts somewhat)

    And oh yea, no one commented on Eddie doing the moonwalk at the end of the second set. I LMFAO over that.

    I honestly don't think that the boot does the Halifax crowd justice. The band seemed impressed at how loud the crowd was singing along and Ed even stated that it was an honour that we knew the words to the songs. I don't even find the video on Google captures the sheer intensity of that show of both the band and the crowd.

    The folks down in Alabama would love the chance to see PJ in Halifax again. We loved visiting N.S. and want to do it again!!!!!!

    Halifax 2006.....sounds like a winner to me. :)

    download the gvi file and use the GVI2AVI converter. works perfectly if you don't want to use the google video player

    I remember being told by a friend who is involved in booking shows (was not involved in the PJ booking though) and he was saying that in most cases, the bands don't have a lot of say in where they play. They decide they are ready to tour and leave it up to mgt to look at the logistics of where they play. So....in terms of a 'Canadian' tour, I can see why we were included...but in terms of this current tour, I just can't see how we'll place. Logistically, we just seem to far off the beaten path to make as a stop...unless...it is part of a greater show...ala Rolling Stones....

    Who knows though..I am hoping as much as the rest of you...

    this is nothing but a shameless bump.

    it's only rock n roll but i like it.

    roll over beethoven,
    tell tchakosky (sp?) the news.
    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
