Until Backspacer came out,PJ werent exactly causing much of a buzz, in the industry.Only the hardcore fans ,continued to see them live,and buy the bootlegs.Same goes for Dave Matthews Band,who still somehow sell out stadiums (2 nights Citi Field and 2 nights at Wrigley Field 2010) here in the US.
Both PJ and DMB have an immense hardcore following.....buying tickets for 3,4 and 5 gigs each tour...
Good point. As I said in an earlier post, if I actually like TKoL, who knows what who have happened with PJ and I (or am I the object of this statement and should be using "me?")
I didn't purchase Binaural and Riot Act until 2006 (Best Buy has them on sale when Avocado was released - not much going on in 2006, I suppose), didn't listen to Binaural until the summer fo 2007 (it just sat on my CD shelf for a year!) and, as I have mentioned a few times, I finally got around to listening to Riot Act about a year ago!
There did seem to be a bit of a buzz about Backspacer back in 2009. I have listened to more 2010 shows over the past few days - I am about half-way through the final MSG show, as a matter of fact (they're both outstanding) and have gained more/new appreciation for the majority of the songs on Backspacer.
