    i hope they will do a real tour next year if not .. fuck them! i will "comfort" myself again with the boys (hopefully) like last and this year with Bruce

    You'll def be seeing them next year. I'm sure they'll your lightning bolt in Europe. Be patient.
  2. Including the "usual" countries (England, France, Netherlands, Germany, etc.) I'd be willing to bet (not really) that PJ will also hit Ireland, the other UK countries, and the "big three" South-West European countries next year. Hopefully for Olof's sake (come back to this thread, Olof!) they'll also tour the north and even hit some of the Eastern European countries.

    That's a lot of bootlegs we'll have to buy!
  3. Just out of curiosity, which are the "big three" SW European countries?


  4. Because a lot of people in the crowd (like me) took offense to it as many of us lived close to lower Manhattan and knew someone who died in the Twin Towers...and he has never made any mention of that..how about ripping Osama ??....

    Im not going to get into a whole political argument.....he can have his feelings, but he went too far... the crowd was offended as thousands of fans (including me) walked out....he made a mistake, as the band went to the airwaves the next day (not EV) and said their apologies ,they did not make the same mistake at MSG.....

    and if it wasn't for Chris, who flew in from London for the MSG shows that July..I would not have attended them....

    Uh, oh. I'm quoting myself.

    According to setlist.fm, the following shows would be "eligible" for such a compilation:

    MSG 2, 2010
    MSG 1, 2010
    MSG 2, 2008
    MSG 1, 2008
    East Rutherford 2, 2006
    East Rutherford 1, 2006
    MSG 2, 2003
    MSG 1, 2003
    Uniondale, 2003 (I'd omit that song)
    Jones Beach 3, 2000
    Jones Beach 2, 2000
    Jones Beach 1, 2000

    I decided to NOT include "mini" performances like Irving Plaza or SNL 2006 as they are not available on an official bootleg.

    You attended all 12 shows that I listed didn't you, Ed?



    Yes I was at these shows...classic gigs...MSG 2010 & 2003 were amazing...Bklyn will be as good, if not better then MSG 2010....
  6. Originally posted by RUMMY:I can appreciate why you wouldn't attend a festival to see them - I highly doubt I would either, even it was in Toronto.

    I've never been a huge concert-goer and I've only attended one festival (Lollapalooza, 1995...meh) and am quite sure that I'd never attend one again unless PJ, U2, RH, etc were ALL there- which is somewhat unlikely. Nowadays, I get to the stadium/arena shortly before the band goes and leave immediately after the final song is performed. I'm 40 now and have no desire to fight crowds.


    The IOW Festival last year was amazing....PJ, Bruce, Noel, Elbow, Petty...so many bands that I like....Bruce and Noel stole the shows..PJ were very good....Chris hooked us up with backstage passes...so it was obviously a different experience, then someone who was stuck in the mud for 3 days....Man 2 is one of my favorite shows from last year..that was some trip, going to England for 9 days and seeing PJ 2 times....

  7. Italy, Portugal, and Greece, of course!

    Just kidding. I was referring to Italy, Portugal, and SPAIN! I forgot about Greece. Shame on me.

    So Ed, you've attended these 12 shows, two in the UK last year, Montreal 2011, Milan and London 2000, Randall's Island 1996, I am assuming MSG 1998...without sounding too "nosy" or creepy (it's not like I'm asking for your credit card info or your kids' dates-of-birth), what are the other shows you've attended?

    Also, when's the last time you heard "Oceans," if ever?

    Greece ain't West at all, and some would argue that Italy isn't either. It's more like Sounth-Central That's why I was puzzled!

    Yes, let's hope they come to Spain and not just in some stupid 1,5hours festival spots...
  10. Creepy ?..lol....not at all...u left out a few gigs.....I was at both Randalls shows 96..MSG 9/11/ 98..Montreal 2005...Philly n2 and n3 '09

    Paramount Theatre 04.17.94...my wife won the tickets for this show.......the band were in their ticketmaster phase...no videos..no arenas...it wasnt good..this really backfired on the band and us fans....the band should have been playing in MSG from '93 on....

    09.29.96 Randalls..MSG 09.11.98 AND Milan 06.22.00 are my top 3.....


  11. I suppose that's why I didn't consider it initially. Believe it or not, I sort know my geography. Sort of.

    Right or wrong, when I think of "western" Europe, I probably think more about countries that might be considered "westernized," if that makes any sense whatsoever.

    I am English/Irish by decent (however, you gotta go WAY back) but I married a woman who's dad was born in Italy. We are very alike so I suppose I consider Italia part of the west. Am I digging myself into an even-deeper hole here?
  12. As far as hearing Oceans live...I haven't


    I noticed they played it in 2008 and 2000 in WPB...was hoping for a WPB gig this fall....
