    I think I'd be at the Wellington and Auckland shows. I have a place to stay at both of them. But it's travel that will be a major money killer.
    TELL me about it. Wow! If I won the lottery.... (of course I'd have to actually buy a ticket once in a while) That would be my dream to see Pearl Jam in Wellington.

    While there is something to be said for the hometown shows, I would have to say that the show I went to in Canada in 2003 was the best show experience I'd had up to that point. And if they haven't been to New Zealand in 7 years, imagine the energy of the crowd when they finally return! Fantastic! :D

    Yes I hope the guys cause quite a stir when they finally decide to return.

    Well, Foo Fighters in Wellington sold out in a day and they've been here quite recently. I think PJ will sell out quick!

    Yeah, I meant to but didn't get around to it, so I'm glad they're playing a bigger (although worse) venue in Auckland.

    According to the concert chronology, there were 13,000 in attendance both nights in 95 and they were sell outs so something around there...

    I've just been reading over the Rock 1000 from earlier in the year and some of the positions Pearl Jam songs are embarrasing. Also there are heaps of songs that I'm dissapointed didn't make the list. Porch, Blood, Indiffernce, Spin The Black Circle, Off He Goes (The only track from No Code was Who You Are)
    YELLOW LEDBETTER
    and............................................................................................... DO THE EVOLUTION.
    This is by far the biggest exclusion. It's one of their greatest hard rocking songs from the later years. How It did not make the cut for the Rock 1000 I do not know. But It is far greater than any of some of the shit some people voted for. At the end of the day this song needs to be heard by more people. Next year NZ Jam fans should vote in force for this song and the others I mentioned.

    Because it wasnt a single? Who You Are is probably my least favourite song, god I dislike it lots. I dont like the studio version of DTE either and I dont think itd go down too well on the Rock. Rather that than Nickleback though!!
    In other news , got my Foo tickets and im set although not happy with it being at the Supertop.
    Its been 8 years, but I still believe...PJ in NZ 06!

    Can't wait for the Foos, and the Supertop should be alright. I suggest you all visit the "Australian Tour Rumours (no bullshit)" Thread and encourage its progress. And get an Australasian Tour number!

    Rock star is one of the very few things on TV I watch. It sounds like that JD guy is going to absolutely destroy We Are The Chapions.

    Have you been to a gig at the Supertop before? It's terrible! But I'm still going of course :D

    Today's All Black Track on the ROCK is Nothingman picked by Steve Divine. What a top bloke!!! After it was played Nick Trott gave him shit about it. He said "How can you come out to a game of rugby after listening to that?". Just cause he's a real bogan and thinks that everything revolves around GnR, Metallica, Def Leppard, ACDC etc. It's obviously Steve's favourite song. Cut the man some slack. Also all the kiwi's here need to vote for all Pearl Jam albums for the rock 100.

    at least you get the rock, down in queenstown we get really shit music stations like the edge and zm. But saying that the local station Q92 does play some great songs, a month ago they played mother love bone and the dj talked about how they became pearl jam

    actually the rock is starting to get a bit crap sometimes. maybe cause it's just cause i complain cause i never hear enough pearl jam. it would be awsome if the rock played some MLB.

    Yeah it was pretty sweet to hear mlb on it they have played it a couple of times, also they once played dont gimme no lip off the lost dog album, but apart from the odd pearl jam song they play 99.9% crap
