  1. LOL...Auckland 98..wow..nice......They played in your city many times.You missed the great 09.19.2005 Toronto show huh ? Bono jumped onstage with PJ.U2 played Toronto that week as well.4 gigs.I went to the PJ Montreal gig 09.15.05.That has a classic version of Black.
  2. I saw U2 that week.

    To be honest, I have never been a huge concert-goer. Don't get me wrong, I've seen some great bands - some on multiple occasions. However, when I was a bit younger, I was usually a "follower" when it came to attending shows. Over the past decade, however, I have had to rely on my own initiative to get to a particular show. In these cases, I usually have to "love" a band to get off my lazy butt and attend. It's usually well-worth it and I should do it more often. For whatever reason, I wasn't the mega-PJ fan I've become in 2011 in the 2000's, so, unfortunately, I missed many classic shows. The fact that they have their bootleg program most definitely feeds into this recent "insanity" of mine. I'll try to do better.

    Glad you really got into them this year. They are one of the most rewarding bands to be a fan of. Hopefully u can make it out to a MSG show eventually! Lol
  4. Im sure U2 were great in Toronto 05.I saw U2 at MSG the following month 3 times.They played 5 nights at MSG in October.2 more times in Nov.U2 can never play MSG enough..LOL

    Alot of fans,including me,werent as "into" PJ's studio releases from 1996-2003.Its their live gigs, that are always the buzz.The bootleg program helps of course.Dave Matthews Band have a similar fanbase.Willing to travel and buy alot of merch.DMB just released their 61st live CD.An amazing gig from Atlantic City (06.26.11).He played 3 nights in AC,not 1 repeat.60 songs over the 3 gigs.Plus he played a solo set,in the afternoon,day 2, 9 songs.Again,with no repeats.69 songs over 3 days.I went to all 3 gigs.Amazing.Kinda like what PJ did in Boston,2003.

    PJ and DMB, are fantastic live for alot of reasons.Their setlists change on a nightly basis.When both bands go on tour,its like a frenzy to get tickets.Because of this,they release a ton of live material.I never know what songs Im going to hear when I see those bands live.Thats why I have stayed with both bands for 20 years each.Even though some of their studio material isnt close to their 90's classics.

  5. I haven't listened to much DMB but maybe I'll give them a try. My wife might appreciate it as she is a bit of a fan herself.

    Somewhat sadly, I have a hard time getting into new music. It very well might be my age and differences in my life compared to when I was in my teens/twenties. Two decades ago, I swore that I'd never be "out of touch" with whatever was the current music scene. Boy was I wrong - and I don't really care. Anyway, I really appreciate the great accessibility of all this live music as it lets me rediscover great songs/albums from my "era." I rarely listen to studio albums any more (played them to death back in the day) but these live options are fantastic.

    Looks like a great mix. Will check out Hunger Strike - and All Those Yesterdays (love that song). However, I gotta get through the 2011 and 2010 shows before I even consider looking into 2009.
