2016 PJ25 Tour Rumors

RiddledWithMetaphors · December 2015

"You people", from the northeast, the ones that think it is the center of the universe.

From wikipedia, some reasoning behind the Northeast being toured heavily as opposed to say Indiana.

The Northeast megalopolis (also Boston-Washington Corridor or Bos-Wash Corridor) is the most heavily urbanized region of the United States, running primarily northeast to southwest from the northern suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts, to the southern suburbs of Washington, D.C., in Northern Virginia.[2] It includes the major cities of Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., along with their metropolitan areas and suburbs as well as many smaller urban centers.

On a map, the Northeast megalopolis appears almost as a straight line. As of the year 2000, the region supported 49.6 million people, about 17% of the U.S. population on less than 2% of the nation’s land area, with a population density of 931.3 people per square mile (359.6 people/km2), compared to the U.S. average of 80.5 per square mile.

Hmmm...it almost sounds like "you people" includes quite a lot of people.

I think the current GA system is fine. At the Detroit show last year, I went in after doors. I went to
the bathroom, bought merch, and went to the GA section. I was 5 people from the rail in front of Mike. I've only waited for the rail once (Seattle 2013). It was a great experience but I may never do it again. If people want to wait for the rail for all their GA shows then let them.

If they play Fenway I'm there. Heard pj 20 wasent all it was cracked up to be anyway. I skipped it in 2011 and went to Toronto and seen 2 killer shows. So pj 25 I'll prob be out too and I'll hit all local spots near me and 1 cool place hoping they play two shows at.

Did hear the atmosphere and fan club really went all out for the pj20 show wish I woulda went for that.
PJ20 was a special event unlike any I'd seen before or since. Other than the passion of maybe South America or Europe, the US doesn't get shows like we had in Alpine Valley back in 2011!!

Except in NYC, philly, Hartford and Boston.

In the opposite order...

It's not what we think, it's what we can prove.

MSG trumps everywhere in the northeast

JimmyV · December 2015

Agree that MSG trumps everywhere else in the Northeast. Biggest venue in the country in terms of prestige, arguably biggest in the world.

But...I do think there is a connection between the band and the cities that comes across clearer in Boston, Philly and Hartford than it does in NYC.

Great Woods 2000...

pawlowski1097 · December 2015

Philly vs nyc. It's a tough battle

.....didn't say a word about Indiana. But thanks for the research, professor!!

Maryland isn't in the northeast, but you can keep hoping.....

Fuck Camden

front spacer · December 2015

Alright, enough of the debate concerning the northeast and the rest of the universe. I realize that the northeast is densely populated, with a great deal of culture and diversity and affluence. They will get more shows than any other region because of the amount of paying customers and ticket sales.

I was merely making a comment that hailed PJ20 as a special weekend event with special guests, special fans, and a special vibe. And then someone compared that with shows in Hartford, philly, NY, and Boston.....while all fine cities, I'm sure.....just because they may be crowded or hard to get tickets with sell-outs, doesn't make them up to the level of specialness that was Alpine Valley back in 2011. Wrigley wasn't, Moline wasn't, Worchester wasn't, MSG wasn't, and Hartford wasn't.

Hopefully something like that can be duplicated this year with another destination weekend celebration!!

No disrespect to the fine fans of the great Northeast!!! Sorry for any misunderstanding.

northeast according to census.gov:
REGION I: NORTHEAST

Division I: New England
Connecticut (09)
Maine (23)
Massachusetts (25)
New Hampshire (33)
Rhode Island (44)
Vermont (50)

Division 2: Middle Atlantic
New Jersey (34)
New York (36)
Pennsylvania (42)

like I said, you'll find crowds better/equal to alpine in places like hartford, boston, nyc and philly. Now I've seen a pj show at all of those locations and in my opinion it goes:
philly/nyc
boston/hartford
alpine

JimmyV · December 2015

Providence, RI...underrated place to see a show. PJ would find the Dunkin Donuts Center much to their liking. Just saying...

HesCalledDyer · December 2015

2016 will be 3 years since they played the northeast. For those keeping score at home.

callen · December 2015

Yes, Northeast shows are special because they are "crowded" and "hard to get tickets" for as opposed to every other PJ show. THAT is why they stand out.

I asked before, I'll ask again...... Have you ever been to a show in Hartford?

I can't speak about PJ20, I wasn't there. But I have seen PJ in 9 different cities as far west as Denver, and I've never seen the band respond to or feed off a crowd like they do in Hartford.

If I had to pick only one city in which to see PJ for one final show, it would be there, no debate.

FWIW, I'm not from Connecticut so it's not a hometown bias.

I'm predicting PJ25 @ CenturyLink Field, the Seahawks Stadium. Labor Day weekend

100% speculation

How many times has it set a world record for loudest crowd for nfl games???
