1. Pearl Jam at Madison Square Garden...second to none.


  2. Oh, Ed. I was just kidding around. No need to get offended.
  3. ...and yes, I am sure the fans in NYC are great (I "know" two of them who are very passionate about the band and am sure there are more)...Toronto fans are pretty solid (I guess) but I would like to witness (in person) a show in Brazil or Argentina (or Portugal or Spain if we are "lumping" the Latin cultures together).

    Too bad PJ doesn't play Spain or Portugal anymore.
  4. All good Matt..I just think the South American crowds are overrated IMO....

    I also think the Italian crowds are better and are the best overall ....IMO they are more knowledgeable fans then SA.....the U2 shows from Milan in 2005 and 2009 were fantastic all around..

    Same goes for PJs Milan gig in 2000.....
  5. The only thing that irritates about South America and concerts, and it isn't even that direct, is the fact that on Facebook they will also post on the artist's wall: "come back to Argentina," or whatever country they are from. Always on a post you will get at least one person saying that. Sometimes the artist has just been there!
  6. In the end, on a personal level (as opposed to just viewing youtube videos and listening to bootlegs), I need to see some shows outside of Southern Ontario/Western NY. The only two I have NOT seen in these two places are Pearl Jam (Auckland - good show, bad seats) and Oasis (Roseland Ballroom NYC - one of the best shows I've ever attended.)

  7. ...and don't forget those five great shows in 2006! Again, however, I am just gong by the bootlegs and watching Immagine in Cornice - and, of course, accounts from Ronnie.
  8. Glad I sparked some convo! lol,
