I find it funny that you only think Biancas was mediocre are best best the New York Times liked it enough to give it 4 1/2 stars. I guess your taste is better than the New York Times.

FYI, I live here and IMHO Biancas is on the list of the LAST places to eat unless you like your portions small, stacked and expensive. No doubt, the original poster will assume that I'm low-brow and consequently won't listen to my opinion. But, then again, i don't care about that either. I'm one of those people who wants my food to arrive in a heap, not in a dainty stack.

To our visitors,... we're glad that you enjoyed your trip here. Come again soon, even without Pearl Jam (but try to bring Pearl Jam back with you if you can).

New York we ain't. Canada we ain't. We are what we are and that's fine with us.

when i saw stone on the street by the delta i made sure he knew that we(as canadians) were VERY grateful for the CANADIAN tour and especially the fact that we didn't have to cross the border to chase the dream down this time around.

i have only good things to say about the province and the people of newfoundland. it was an amazing experience and it was truely worth spending a month's rent to see the tour close down in st johns

st john's is a beautiful city. the walking trail, leading down from signal hill into the city, was as breathtaking as anything i've ever seen/experienced.

BEST BAND EVER

Well, I was sick outside (what a week for the the stomach flu :( ), so I ened up missing the first few songs, which was harsh for me because I didn't get to see Last Exit, SOLAT and Hail Hail. Still an amazing show, but, man, what a downer that is.

As for the shortness of it, I know the girl that Ed pulled up on stage and I was talking to her and her friends for ages after the show. They were supposed to go backstage again last night, but apparently the band had to leave immediate to go to New York for some reason.

I hope you don't speak for everyone over there...Canada we ain't? wow

Yes, in canada we are. Like canada we ain't. Just like we're not like New York.

And I am very proud to be a Canadian. However, Newfoundland is not Canada in a way that St. John's is neither Halifax nor New York. All three are great cities with their own charms, but only one of them is New York.

Ok, sure,... technically, we do trade the canadian currency, and we are under the umbrella of canada and we do enjoy the advantages of being Canadian along with our mainland and other-island bretheren. However, many of us here on the Rock would say that we're Newfoundlanders first and Canadians second, even though most of us were born Canadian citizens and most of our parents were born Canadian.

The thing to remember is that most of our grand parents were NOT born Canadian. Many of our grandparents and great grandparents saw their fathers, brothers and sons killed in the first world war and watched as their country went into a kind of bankruptcy-protection receivership. We ended up in Canada's custody mainly because our mother country Britain wouldn't forgive our war debt (the one we incurred fighting for their freedom) our nationality was traded to Canada. We brought a huge coastal fish stock, tremendous hydro power, vast petroleum deposits and minerals into Canada.

Canada completely blew out the fish stocks due to it's unwilllingness to listen to hands-on fisherpeople and it's subsequent complete balls-less-ness in the international arena. Lately it's been trying to improve it's act but so much has already been lost to rapers of the sea. Canada also won't make Quebec let us push power from Labrador into the United States across quebec. Instead, we've got to sell all our power to Quebec for rock bottom prices and they resell it to the US for a tidy profit. Does that make you feel warm there in New York? It drives me crazy if I think about it. grr. grr. Love Quebec. Good Quebec. Nobody bitch at Quebec, it'll get pissy and leave.

I digress.

HOpe you enjoyed the show. Come back anytime. Don't let my rant above bother you. Just because we're not Canada, doesn't mean we're not happy about it. Like it says in the old song: We'll Rant and We'll Roar like True Newfoundlanders.

V[ANTIS']yikes...definately not what i was expecting...thought these 2 shows would be the gems of the tour...guess i was wrong

I agree...I was expecting some LOST DOGS...i.e. rarities for at least ST John's 2, but was disappointed, although hearing Bee girl was great!

I would say both set lists were pretty much common, and night 2 was short!
I would give show #1 the edge, and although I was expecting more, I had a great time in this lovely city on the edge of North America. Did some drinking at the pubs, people I met were really friendly and great to hang out with!!

There's clapping during Man of The Hour...it ruins it, IMO. In fact, during the show, when people around me started clapping, i wanted to yell "NOOO! DON'T!!"
I was kinda upset that the line "Live from St. John's it's Saturday night." isn't in the boot at all.
Other than that, they're both awesome!

really..it's not, i was hoping for that a lot. I was soo happy when he said it

how can that line not be on Saturdays boot, I'm pissed. lol (not really but was really looking forward to it). Can you hear how loud the crowd is during RITFW? Im sad I havent downloaded it yet, I need a better connection (dail-up sucks!).
