    Man...the city of Moncton looks like they are going to blow a really cool precedent that the Stones concert could have set. I'm not going to knock a country concert in terms of music...because we all like what we like..but to follow up the Stones with Alan Jackson just seems like a step back. Hard to say I guess..but I felt that, while they didn't need a Stones size concert again, they at least needed to follow up with a big name act to help cement the seed they had planted.

    Oh well....still time for something to happen. I don't love the Eagles..but they are at least a big enough name to keep this concert site in the public eye.

    Word is there will be 2 big shows - a country and a rocker. Most of the hicks around here want AC/DC and that crap (did I say crap, I meant barf) but, hope against hope, Pearl Jam. Actually, the Eagles would be cool. Pearl Jam will not be anywhere near the end of N.A. any time soon, IMHO.

    I don't know but U2 seems to be the favourite whenever I hear anyone talk about this show. The whole thing makes me kind of sick because there is a possibility that there may not even be a rock show if they are unable to book someone. There are apparently still negotiating with several "big name" acts to come here but nothing has been confirmed yet. Sorry for the negativity but it's kind of irritating.

    Come on Halifax, maybe you can pull something off. Try booking PJ again or getting the Chili Peppers.

    Come on PJ... Stopping in Halifax before heading to Europe only makes sense, right? I'll even have you all over for a home cooked meal....

    I know this is a little off topic but I thought since something similar worked for Pearl Jam, maybe the same could work for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. As many of you may be aware, the Peppers have released a list of places they will be playing this tour and like the excessive number of bands before them don't seem to realize that there are parts of Canada beyond Quebec. So far, they are only coming as far east as Quebec City.

    If any of you Eastern Canadian rabid PJ fans are also fans of the Peppers, like myself, there is currently a thread on the Peppers message board titled, "Come to Eastern Canada". It's designed to get the band to travel a little further east. So if you're interested in seeing a Red Hot Chili Peppers show in the Maritimes (preferably Halifax) travel on over to their site, http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com, register for free message board access and show your support. The above mentioned thread is in the "Road Trippin" section of their message board.

    I'm shaking all over after reading about the possible Moncton show; I totally relate to whoever said the Halifax show was the single greasest experience of their life. And stopping here just before/after Europe would make sense, I've been thinking that since legs 1 & 2 were announced.
    PLEASE Pearl Jam, come back!

    i was bummed when i saw that it's a country show in moncton.

    there could be more, since it's scheduled for July, so i'm not giving up hope that something better might come along.

    as for Halifax...i'll never give up hope. if they can play there once, they will play there again. maybe not this tour, maybe not the next. but they will come again.

    I think if Halifax gets the common wealth games their might be a new arena built, so that might bring more big shows like pj back. I still think they will play this tour tho.
    Things were different then. All is different now.
    I tried to explain. Somehow.

    i am hoping that PJ plays Halifax as a send off to Europe. i am spent out for this year, so i won't be able to go. but if they do, i will toast the maritimes!

    if they wait until next year, i'll be back!!
    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

    Last night's performance on SNL - another reason Halifax needs a Pearl Jam encore. They seem like an angrier, rawer more agressive PJ than previous years. Am I right east coast PJ fans?

    Couldn't agree more. I think a show here this tour would be more mind blowing (if thats even possible) than the first. And I know it would turn more people around here onto PJ - hopefully the radio too.

    If PJ comes back to the Maritime provinces I hope to make the show, unless they goto St. Johns. My wife and I are buying a house so money is going to be tight.

    The Halifax show in september was absolutly amazing. I bought the show off the site after the concert... and still when I listen to it I get the chills. If they came back to the maritimes, I would be there in a instant. I am going to see them in TO in may, but another maritime show would be greatly appreciated!!
