  2. If there is one festival that I'd like to attend, it'd be that one.

    That said, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a Toronto show.
  3. I've been listening to some of the 2011 South American show....nice, long setlists, enthusiastic crowd, intense performances although a little sloppy at times.

    I think the Euro 2012 tour trumps both mini tours from 2011 - yes, I'm even including the Canadian one!
  4. Europe '12 was a fine tour..I agree with you Matt but IMO Toronto '11 is an all time classic gig...

    Im actually listening to very early U2 the last couple of days.The first 4 studio albums, Dortmund '84, Red Rocks '83 and Im looking all over for Boston '81..but I seem to have lost it !!!!!

    Why the hell didnt they clean up Dortmund '84 and include it with the UF reissue !!!??!!
  5. My thought s exactly with Dortmund - and include ASOH and TUF!!!!

    About Pearl Jam... I got nothing this evening.

    (However, I will be back at it next weekend, for sure!)

  6. Thankfully I was at one of them. Regrettably (again!) I was not at the other. The two shows make a fantastic pair.
  7. What is everyone's thoughts on how the Melbourne 2014 festival show could turn out? I am seriously considering going. Will be about $600 for the trip, so it's not out of my league to get there.
  8. Hmmm....as great as PJ is, that is quite a bit of cash to see them. Not that I should be one to talk as I spent a relatively excessive amount for two tickets to see them in London (Ontario, Canada) this past summer.

    My "concern" with seeing them at two festival shows is that you might get a lot of repeat songs (mainly hits, mind you) and it's not the same as going to two separate PJ-only shows.

    All of that said, if you plan a trip to Melbourne and PJ just happens to be playing there, why not go for it?! I was in Melbourne (and Sydney) many years ago and both are great!
  9. Yeah Melbourne is one of my favourite cities. It's got everything. Although the only reason I would be there would be to see Arcade Fire and Pearl Jam again on the Big Day Out festival circuit here. It's a lot but it's only a week's wage over the summer holidays. I am really in two minds about it.

    Similarly, I'm going to go see the Kings of Leon in Sydney on the 20th of November, IF I can get a ticket. They are playing a club show at a place called the Enmore Theatre, which has a capacity of 1600. I'm in Brisbane so I've gotta fly about 1000kms, $75 for flights each way, plus ticket and accomodation puts me at about $500 for one day and night. I guess if I can get tickets and go to that I can decide whether I'd be keen to do it again to see PJ, for a little extra. The only thing I'm not sure about will be the performance/setlist aspect, being at the same festival and all about a week later.
  10. Can you make a bigger trip out of it? In other words, stay for a few nights as opposed to just one and do other things than just the festival?
  11. The more I think about it, I think you should do a road trip (at least on the way back) and make it three shows and see them in Sydney!
  12. Hahah that would be awesome! I would definitely do it if I had a mate who was keen on it, but alas, I am the only hardcore concerteer of my friends. My mum is as keen on Bruce Springsteen as I am on U2 and Bruce, she's heading to four shows in three cities in Feb, but she's not keen on PJ. So I'd have no company haha.

    I would stay a little longer in Melbourne if there were sports on, but in January, we have very little. If the AFL, rugby or rugby league was on I'd stay around to catch a bunch of games, but cause they're not, I'd just be there for about 24 hours. And plus, my current concert schedule is hectic enough as it is!
