[Vedder4Prez]

thanks kat..

smaller set.. i thought they would have gone all out being the last show of the Canadian tour..

i love seeing HAIL HAIL and SOLAT back to back and early!

[]V[ANTIS]

yikes...definately not what i was expecting...thought these 2 shows would be the gems of the tour...guess i was wrong

[Crazy Stickman]

V[ANTIS']yikes...definately not what i was expecting...thought these 2 shows would be the gems of the tour...guess i was wrong

my thoughts exactly bro...:(

oh well a pj show is still a pj show...:D

[stpmattb]

It's weird seeing a setlist come through this early in the night - thanks!

[Vedder4Prez]

V[ANTIS']yikes...definately not what i was expecting...thought these 2 shows would be the gems of the tour...guess i was wrong


yeah i almost went all out and made the trip up there.. glad i saved the money for the next tour

but i did miss a new song it looks like "insignificant"

[Floyd Manzera]

last exit has made a decent comeback!!
solid play list.

[Beener]

Thats great for Wintersleep. But from the looks of the set lists for both nights, it looks like Pearl Jam burnt themselves out in the amazing Halifax show. I was expecting a huge show tonight.

[K*Rock]

It's weird seeing a setlist come through this early in the night - thanks!

no kidding!!! but its the time change... they are about 1.5 hours ahead of us.... :)

awesome set though! thought there would be more "rare stuff" but still awesome!! :)

[GummiBeer]

maybe the cowd was not into it...pearl jam always gave if your into it we will be...maybe thats why???

[TimCNL]

It may be a small set, but from Wishlist right to the end, there was something special about that show.

[Beetho Mittner]

Simple but great set ...
Thanks KAt ...

[themightydrek]

I think the crowd may have been more into it tonight, but it probably just seemed that way because I was on the floor...

[J_Ride99]

In terms of setlists, this was my favorite out of the 4 I saw (Kitchener, Toronto, St. John's 1 and 2). I was hoping for a little something special with it being the last night on the tour, so I was really surprised with the shorter set. Still, Hearing Hail Hail, State Of Love And Trust and Crazy Mary for the first time and the awesome ending made the trip worth every penny.

[TimCNL]

maybe the cowd was not into it...pearl jam always gave if your into it we will be...maybe thats why???


Yeah, once again, I was surrounded by people who didn't seem to want to stand up.... Also, there were people WITH FLOOR SEATS arriveing 5 or 6 six songs into the show.

[J_Ride99]

yeah i almost went all out and made the trip up there.. glad i saved the money for the next tour

but i did miss a new song it looks like "insignificant"

Nothing new...it's Insignificance from Binaural

[Pearlinit]

isnt sooo bad, guys! I think everyone is spoiled cause they ususally play up to 28 songs in any given (to fly) night..... does seem like they played some hardcore songs even yet. They are all 40 and over, give them a break if they dont kill themselves every night on a tour..... i would be pleased if i was at that show! but i do expect more in AC and Philly!

~peace~

no one ever said "bad" just short...

thought this would be one of those "special nights" ed always talks about.. well glad we had one in london

[Pearlinit]

ok, fair enough. i didnt say anyone said it was bad.. just making excuses for the short set. i understand it feels a little let down it wasnt one of those "special" nights. i want one of those for every show i go to of theirs.... especially since it was the last show of the Canadian tour.

~peace~

[binauralsounds]

thanks kat..

smaller set.. i thought they would have gone all out being the last show of the Canadian tour..

i love seeing HAIL HAIL and SOLAT back to back and early!

Yeah, kinda strange. Like they were in a hurry to get da hell outta there.

[OneArmedScissor]

I was 3rd row, and while it was rockin, it wasn't like it should have been. The reason being is that they added this second show while people were in line for tickets to the first show. Therefore, a lot of casual fans, basically people who are going just for the sake of a concert, got prime tickets. I'm talkin the first 10 rows or more. Add on top of that the fact that there was no ten club seats for this show, and you have a decent explanation as to why the crowd didn't seem as into it. Saturdays show definetely had a more energetic feel to it, but Rocking in the Free World (w/Wintersleep) more than made up for the apparent lack of energy. That was absolutely stunning. All in all, a great fucking weekend.

[cellophane_star]

I LOVE that they played In My Tree tonight! Especially since I was wearing this shirt:

They didn't play it last night but Mike totally saw it and he pointed to me tonight... at least that's what I believe!

and they played State of Love and Trust! Last Exit! Hail Hail! You Are! I love this band.

[chris05]

Yeh i thought tonites show would be longer, but who cares what a fuckin show it was. Lots of variety in two the shows. Highlights for me tonight were " Last Exit " really glad they played that. " You are " was awesome, and "solat " was so good. All in all two awesome shows from the best band in the world. Cant wait for the new album and next tour

[RougeMosquit]

Interesting that the two most rockin' shows were at the beginning of the tour rather than the end...Excluding AC, Philly, and HoB, of course. Missoula and the gorge tore everyone's face off! Too bad for the end of the roaders!

[themightydrek]

I thought both shows were great, my first pj shows ever, and I really loved the chick in the 6th row (on stone's side) with an incredible tattoo on her upper back of the cover to Leonard Cohen's The Future album. Any chick with a leonard cohen tattoo must be amongst the coolest women in the world...

[tremor_christ]

yeah i almost went all out and made the trip up there.. glad i saved the money for the next tour

but i did miss a new song it looks like "insignificant"

ummm... it's "insignificance"... and it's not new... it's from Binaural.

[Iampatriot]

maybe the cowd was not into it...pearl jam always gave if your into it we will be...maybe thats why???


Yes. The crowd (at least around me, and seemingly throughout) didn't seem into it. It seems that they were into it, but not vocally. Alot of clapping and feet stomping, but the screaming (where there's usually screaming at other shows) was not there at all.

[Iampatriot]

Actually I think Montreal and Ottawa take the cake for 2 best back to back. Halifax also rocked.

[Vedder4Prez]

ummm... it's "insignificance"... and it's not new... it's from Binaural.


oh thanks.. forgot about that album considering it is my favorite by far

thought they named 2 songs pretty much the same thing

(slight sarcasm)

[InAStateOfLuv&Trust]

I dunno about the rest of you, but where I was, we were all loud, yelling and fairly into it. No one was going insane no, but it seemed like just everyone was just loving the music(altho as stated, alot of casual fans were there tonite) But I loved it, they played stuff I dreamed for, like You Are, Mary, SOLAT, Hail Hail, Jeremy etc, I loved it.(and it was still fairly long, lot of the songs were made really long)

ANd I really think Eddie was starting to lose his voice to, so that may explain the shortness...?

[meghan the destroyer]

The crowd seemed really into it tonight, which is odd because I was side stage tonight and last night I was on the floor. Maybe that's because I was more into it tonight? Either way they were both awesome shows, I'm glad I went to both because there's no way I could say which was better!


EDIT: And about the shortness of the sets for both nights, I may just be making excuses for the band here but it seemed to me that the management pretty much kicked them out. For example, last night the house lights were up for pretty much the whole second encore, and it just seemed to me like the stadium staff were trying to get them off the stage.

[lukin14]

lights come on before the show is over (as far as I can tell from 00 & 03 boots) the band likes to see the crowd at the end of the show.

I noticed in Halifax when Ed came out to do Drifting, as he was chatting up the crowd a bit, his voice seemed a bit hoarse, kinda like most of us sound the morning after a show..

I too was suprised how early the show Saturday ended, but it did start earlier.. maybe the band wanted to hit George Street themselves tonight..

Could also be the travel time they need to get out of Newfoundland and down to Pittsburgh for the next show..

Regardless, we loved having the guys do 3 shows in the Atlantic Provinces, an area often forgotten as many bands think Canada ends in Montreal.

I hope the east coast hospitality was enough to bring the band back next time around.

[tyemarie]

V[ANTIS']yikes...definately not what i was expecting...thought these 2 shows would be the gems of the tour...guess i was wrong

i thought those shows would be better too,
but i have to say WINNIPEG was the gem of the tour.....it was really special

[thefigurehead]

I was on Stone's side of the stage tonight (right behind Boom) and at the end of the 2nd Encore, someone pulled Eddie to the side and were pointing to their watch... Eddie looked pissed and went and told Jeff and Matt... I guess management REALLY did want them to get off stage.

Anyway... we got the setlist from the guitar tech after the show.. they cut out a LOT of songs.


Oceans, Last Exit, Animal, State, Hail Hail, Corduroy, Wishlist, Dissident, Deep, Even Flow, Insignificance, You Are, In My Tree, I Got Shit, 1/2 Full, Black, Go

Bee Girl, Man Of The Hour, (Off He Goes) , Crazy Mary, Crown Of Thorns, Alive

Light Years, Jeremy, RVM, Betterman, Fuckin Up, Rockin In The Free World, Yellow Ledbetter

[jordan_144]

Great shows!there for both of them!1st nite was loonger tho.but second they played some rare songs!!gotta love pj! got jefts pick!

[NOCODE#1]

thanks kat..

smaller set.. i thought they would have gone all out being the last show of the Canadian tour..

i love seeing HAIL HAIL and SOLAT back to back and early!
yea very disappointing.... what a short ass show

[NOCODE#1]

maybe the cowd was not into it...pearl jam always gave if your into it we will be...maybe thats why???


naah then the spectrum show in 03 would have been a hell of alot better

[NOCODE#1]

wrong they did that in camden 03 and the 2nd night was so much better

God, that sucks with the management thing!!! Sometimes I feel there's a disconnect between venue staff here in Newfoundland and the actual fans...I don't think the venue realized how special a deal it was to have the boys here...or maybe they did and I'm just venting.

I thought the show was great though...some very special moments with crowd interaction, etc. Bee Girl was great, and a rare treat. Crazy Mary was amazing, and Black...WOW....what was the ending there? I liked it a lot, whatever it was.

ANybody want to trade this show for the Ottawa concert. They killed it here in Ottawa with a fully energetic crowd. give me a shout macass5@hotmail.com if you're serious.

Cheers!

[BifEverchad]

You know what's better than seeing your first Pearl Jam show?
Seeing your second one the night after.


Unfortunately, I just learned that I missed Ed's preset of, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away. Which is a little bit of a letdown, but I'm not too tore up over it. I knew going in that there may have been a preset or a song with Pearl Jam joining the Wintersleep fellas. So, I have nobody to blame but myself. I'm assuming he played it, while people were coming in? I dunno.

Anyways, tonight's show was off the map. It was definately as enjoyable as the first night but there were the little differences, of course. Tonight I had seats on the side corner of the stage. GREAT seats. You were so close to the action, it was almost like being on stage with them. You could see every move, every laugh, every cigarette Eddie light up. Awesome!

The setlist tonight was a little more diverse than what I was expecting. They opened up with Elderly Woman, then floated into a great version of Last Exit, in which Eddie screamed to the top of his lungs. Animal, was played again, but still rocked the house. Oh, before I go any further I'm tellin' ya the lights were fan-fucking-tastic. It added so much to the whole performance. Surprisingly, State of Love and Trust was played. They then blasted back to back with Hail Hail and Corduroy. Man, I really love Corduroy more now than I ever did. A couple of slower tunes followed as they played Wishlist (lighters everywhere) and Dissident (by request). Even Flow plowed up next and had the crowd bouncin'! A couple of songs that took me a few seconds to identify were Insignificant and You Are. Still, they were really good. Then Eddie, under a spotlight, played an awesome version of In My Tree. Amazing sight to see. Another surprise, as they played I Got Shit. A lot of people in my section were really into this song. I loved how the whole back area went NUTS whenever Eddie would make the slightest glance over his shoulder towards us. He teased the crowd the whole night, it was great. Black was beautifully done again tonight, and I'm glad too. It was really sweet hearing "Do Be Dop Dop Be Do Be Do" over and over again as the whole crowd was scattered with lighters. An action pact version of Go ended the first set and everyone went CRAZY for it. It's one of the most energetic Pearl Jam songs performed on both shows, in my opinion.

The first encore done with the group all seated. The beginning saw Eddie and Jeff alone under a spotlight. Eddie said how hard it was to write songs while "stoned out of his mind on pot". He then explained how Jeff and himself wrote the next one, Bee Girl. Man of The Hour was next and Eddie said it was wrote about one of his best friends, Johnny Ramone. I LOVED how they played Crazy Mary, it was one of the ones I was hoping they play tonight that they didn't play last night. A powerful performance of Alive ended the first encore. The place ate it up!

The second encore started as the boys came back on stage and Eddie talked about how he found a piece of paper in his pocket and was a note from someone who's friend had just past away. It said how he was a huge Pearl Jam fan and asked could the guys play a song for him. They then played Light Years, which was a nice tribute. Another crowd favorite was next with Betterman. The kicker for the whole show was the much anticipated, Jeremy. The place was ape shit for it, lights flashing, people cheering, screaming and hands everywhere you could see. It was a highlight for sure. The show ended with Eddie inviting the guys from Wintersleep on stage for Rockin' in the Free World. Simply amazing performance by all.

Some notes overall though. The show seemed to go by quicker tonight for some reason. But it was still excellent by all means. The seats we had tonight were so much different. We had a completely different vantage point, as we got to see all types of stuff that we wouldn't have seen if we werent so close. Like Eddie lighting smoke after smoke during the guitar breaks, or Eddie going behind the stage and empting a water bottle and filling it with wine, only to throw it into the crowd. Another great moment was, and the song escapes me at the moment, but anyways..it was when he had a mirror and reflected into the crowd, shining it on several Newfoundland flags along the way. Incredible.

Overall, I was extremely grateful to have seen them, not once but twice. I can't wait to see them again in the future. Be it here or somewhere else. I'm positive that I'm leaving stuff out, but I'm sure I'll hear or read something that will refresh my mind. Everything about the show and the entire weekend really was a buzz. Seems like everyone I've spoken to had a great weekend too. I'm really glad everyone did because it's not that often that the city gets a show of this magnitude. If you're a huge Pearl Jam fan, a casual Pearl Jam fan, or you barely knew them, I think its safe to say everyone had one hell of a time!


Thank You Pearl Jam.

[murph83]

maybe the crowd was not into it...pearl jam always gave if your into it we will be...maybe thats why???

the crowd was into it tonight! I was there last night and tonights crowd was way louder. keep in mind the venue held maybe 8000 people max, it's not a very big place compared to other venues they have played on the tour.

Amazing show! there is no such thing as a bad pearl jam concert in my opinion because they f**king rock no matter what!

Although it was a shorter than expected set, the songs were all awesome, they played some of them like i have never heard before.
To everyone, listen to wishlist from tonights set, incredible!!

This has been the best weekend of my life, seeing pearl jam two nights in a row when i have been waiting 14 years to see them!, Can't wait to see them again!!!

I love Pearl Jam and I love Canada!!

cheers everyone

[Tobin]

hehe..I ended up workin' after the show disassemblin' stuff..stole one of eddies beers from the dressing room..and i got some Gormet Coffee as well ;)

-Tobin

[aNiMaL]

Damn...SOLAT, Hail Hail, I GOT SHIT, Light years....cool songs!!

[JasonK]

I really can't belive some of that crap I'm reading on this forum. Simply put two great shows, really diverse. The band rocked the house and fucked everyone up! it was awesome. get a grip if your not impressed.

[fpa]

Thanks boys for another AMAZING NIGHT. Still trying to wrap my head around this weekend. Get comfy cause this my be another long rambling of utter joy. Not promising you'll be able to follow this cause my brain is still crazy thinking about the concert so its probably gunna be all over the place.

Well to start things off I only got tixs for Sundays show last week when they release some. I thought I was gunna miss out, but with some stroke of luck more tickets were released.I had pretty sweet seats (section 121, 2 sections back from the stage on Stones side, right by the glass) . I got a great view of the stage and I think I managed to get some sweet pics. Surprisingly I think I had way better seats tonight then last nights ten club seats (but HUGE thanks to Ten Club for giving me any tickets lol).

Theres been a few comments about the lack of rarities in the setlist for the second show. But in my opinion this weekend was awesome. Pearl Jam played Newfoundland, they coulda got on that stage and sung the exact same set as last night or played the spoons or did the hanky panky or something and I still woulda enjoyed myself and I think it was the same kinda feeling for a lot of other Newfies or other concert rookies. Hey they coulda stopped in Halifax, I am forever greatful. That was the best 2 concerts to come here.

Opening with Small Town, Last Exit, Animal, SOLAT, Hail Hail. . . .it was awesome, the crowd seemed so much more into then last night (at least from where I was), really high energy during those first few songs. But then the people on both sides of my pair of tickets SAT DOWN....jesus what is wrong with you people lol jk, didnt think about it, just rocked out to the greatest band of my generation (maybe ever).

The disco ball (i cant remember what song that was for the life of me) and the lights throughout the show were awesome. Ed reflecting the mirror into the crowd was a pretty sweet visual.

Although I was hoping for some rarities tonight, Im really happy with what I heard lol. I got a few of my own personal gems I was praying for. IN MY FUCKING TREE lol, Bee Girl, You Are, Got Shit was excellent. Light Years, Crazy Mary, Man of the Hour. .....BAH the whole show was awesome for me. Cant wait to get the boots for these two shows.

Man i think there was some major teasing though tonight. When Eddie was talking to the crowd about the Liar poster he saw, and figured it mighta been in response to the beat down he gave to that girls ex boyfriend and told those who werent there Saturday a brief summary of the story. Which led into a small ranting about Bush and others US political big wigs saying they were the liars not him and i was sure we were gunna get Bush-Leauger. . .but no luck. Then when he was introducing Black i missed the beginning when he was talking about the first album and how when wrote it he didnt think anyone was ever gunna hear it, and how he bared his soul so much (dont know where my head was, just trying to soak it all up in a slight dase i guess). . . so when he mentioned "washing clean" or something like that just before the song started I was getting all excited thinking we were getting Wash (but I guess that wasnt teasing just me not paying attention at the time). Then during the second encore, the guy in the front couple rows (mikes side) that Ed gave a tamourine to passed Ed up the Rebulic Of Newfoundland flag i was hoping he was gunna do something like Hamilton (with the Canada flag wrapped around him) woulda made a great pic but oh well.

Jermey was awesome crowd went nuts (First time hearing any Pearl Jam song live is sweet lol cant help but rock out), probably the loudest the crowd was all night. I got a great pic of Jeff under that orange spotlight (i hope). . .Rocking in the Free World might come close on crowd respone definately second. It was great to have the house lights up and seeing how much everyone was into it.

As for the band I thought Mike had another awesome night rocking out, he was awesome during the Evenflow solo (WAHHHHHHH), Boom was sweet during his solo. Never forget Ed SLAMMING the mic stand around and I thought his vocals were great all weekend. Jeff was rocking out tonight too jumping around with Mikeand Ed, thanks to Stone I cant get Dont Giveme No Lip outta my damn head, Matt, thanks for the stick lol you guys rocked.

I had an excellent excellent weekend. I cant put how happy/excited I am into words.

Oh............ after the show i met the guy who got the set list and I took a look at it and I was HEART BROKEN to see Oceans crossed out as the opener. I thought for sure with the beauty of the atlantic all around our city and the bands visit to Singal Hill (amazing view for those who have never been here) Oceans would be played, to find out it was supposed to be and not hear it, shitty. Then I look down the list. . . .MORE songs crossed out, Deep, Fuckin' Up (why, why??), RVM and Yellow Ledbetter probably missing some too. So even though i completely enjoyed myself tonight that was a little saddening to see what he had planned for us vs what we got (although we still got an amazing show. The same guy actually had the bands schedule and curtain was scheduled for 10. I think there might be some kinda curfew for Sunday's maybe? Maybe thats why it was so short. . .cant see them playing 10oclock curtain on the second night of the last stop on the tour if there wasnt a reason for it. They did play till after 10 but it was still like 40 minutes or so shorter then Saturday.

Either way, thanks for rocking Newfoundland, giving me memories I will have a lifetime (once i chill out and remember it all). Met some really cool people (hopefully we'll all stay in touch). Whoever decided Pearl Jam was gunna come to Newfoundland, I love you, I want to shake your hand lol

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Cheers

SERIOUSLY - all you downers are crazy, regardless of whether of not there was even a show (even though last night WAS fucking awesome) Pearl Jam - THE ONE AND ONLY PEARL JAM - was in Newfoundland! PEARL JAM- IN NEWFOUNDLAND- hello??? Does the very idea of that not outdo any show of the tour???

[Given to Fly_10]

The disco ball (i cant remember what song that was for the life of me) and the lights throughout the show were awesome. Ed reflecting the mirror into the crowd was a pretty sweet visual.

In reply to the first part, the disco ball was during Wish List.
Also, yeah, I loved the lights as well. Just added to the whole atmosphere.

But anyways, thanks to the fellas for actually coming to this city (or town to some) of ours.
Short set or not, people rocking out or not, etc. They rocked my socks off, so it's all good to me for my first 2 Pearl Jam shows!hah
And I hope to see them again soon! Home or away!!

[lezcuff]

Hope this is nobody we know... from www.vocm.com.

A visitor to the province has fallen victim to the waves at Cape Spear. An extensive search was initiated last evening after the 24 year old man was apparently swept off the rocks. The young man was with three friends taking pictures of the swells when a wave dashed over the rocks and dragged him into the water. His companions called for help just after 7:30pm. The Coast Guard, Rovers, Police and Fire Department, responded. Heavy seas did not help the search effort.

[lezcuff]

The first time I saw the Dave Matthews Band live, I knew that I'd have to see them again. The same can be said for Pearl Jam. I must go again. Too much fun. Too funky. Too Much Live Raw Pure Audacity. I already miss it.

I suspect I'll be waiting a long, long time for them to come back to Newfoundland (THANKS 200 MILLION TIMES FOR COMING HERE AT ALL; WE ALL APPRECIATE IT SO VERY MUCH) so I guess it's their next summer tour that I'll be hitting. Maybe somewhere completely interesting.

[Dr_Killdrums]

Yeah, kinda strange. Like they were in a hurry to get da hell outta there.

Actually ... they were in a hurry to get out of there.

Immediately after the band left the stage, the crew invaded the stage and proceeded to dismantle the bands gear.

2 of the 5 trucks used to transport the bands production had to be across the Island in 12 hours in order to get the Ferry to North Sydney, Nova Scotia on their way to Pittsburg. The other 3 trucks were going to Atlantic City and the 11a.m. departure (Ferry) was not an issue.

Be Safe
Dr.

[twolegsyield]

set was pretty general but i love everything they'll come out and play.....

[m.f.c]

both shows were AMAZING, im still having a hard time belieiving they came(even though i seen them with my own eyes...TWICE!!). they played state of love and trust!!!! fucking incredible!. i also enjoyed the story about the girl and her asshole boyfreind as well, and how eddie gave him shit in show 2. the energy in the second show was just amazing, the crowed seemed much more alive than the first. i think i would rather the set list from show 1 though...partly because of save you and rearveiw mirror(i almost lept out of my skin) from where i was sitting, it seemed that the song that people loved most was "go", they loved it, everybody was moving. i think the closers were equal for both shows, they way they played baba o'reily and then cut into yellow ledbetter in the show 1, and then keep rockin in the free world with wintersleep in the second. which reminds me...wintersleep was fuckin awesome too! i was sooo glad when i heared they were opening. it's not a show i will soon forget

[HOT TAMALE]

V[ANTIS']yikes...definately not what i was expecting...thought these 2 shows would be the gems of the tour...guess i was wrong

They were good setlists I guess, I liked the night before better though neither one of the 2 was what I expected ...

[lezcuff]

They were good setlists I guess, I liked the night before better though neither one of the 2 was what I expected ...

As a veteran concert goer, I am always amused when someone talks about what they "expect" from a show. Gnit picking is a waste of time. Let's Get Binary and straighten a few things out:

- was it awesome YES

Therefore, a complete success.

- did all the band members survive and seem happy about it YES

- did all the fans survive? YES, it would appear so.

Therefore, a complete success.
An Unqualified success.

Not something that needs to be debated, really. Anyway, just opinions.
On the binary scale. Rocked - YES. Rolled - YES. happied - YES

that's a grand slam.

(I mean NO Offence to you, the poster above me. I am trying to make
my point around you, not through you.)

[dbrinston]

I don't care what any of the people say about the show not being energetic or not as good as you were hoping! That's crazy talk! The show was top notch...an unreal set list! I'm soooo glad that they played State of Love and Trust and You are the most! I'm still pumped here! I was in Row D (Stone's side) too and had an awesome view. The Venue (Mile One Stadium) has to be the best ever...there are no bad seats there! My throat is gone this morning...i went absolutely nuts. I know me and my friends drank more beer back in high school listening to Pearl Jam just imagining what it would be like if they came here. It's so amazing that it actually happened! We've never had anything like this here before, so I will say on behalf of all Newfie's that this is a dream come true and a fantastic couple of nights that will never ever be forgotten or topped! Rock on b'ys!

[Cap Nord]

There have been a lot of shows here in St. John's over the years and the great ones all came down to quality not quantity!
Many great artists that have played here sucked because they didn't know when to quit. But the great ones knew when it was time to stop and leave us screaming for more.

For example David Bowie's St. John's show was less than 2 hours long and so was Bob Dylan's but they were as amazing as Pearl Jam's show last night. In contrast, Rod Stewart's St. John's show was too long and it dragged.

Look, Eddie and the boys simply kicked ass and rocked the Mile One Stadium last night and I for one could care less about about counting the minutes.

[mookie77]

I thought both shows ROCKED!!! they only confirmed the fact that PJ is the best band ever!!!!! Hope to see them back here again some day, they seemed to enjoy themselves so ya never know.... Thanks again PJ and crew for 2 awsome nights

[yenbaby]

I can't believe that anyone could be negative or dissatissfied with any Pearl Jam show.... They were amazing, as they always are. There was definitely a special energy running through the band last night, which in turn flowed through all the audience. The decision to play Jeremy blew me and my friend away, and I think I speak for all Newfoundlanders when I say we felt honored and very special that PJ would grace our little island with thier love and music. Immense gratitude emmanates today from the minds and hearts of all the newfies I know for the fact that we got to see Pearl Jam right here in our own home. I heard the boys had a really good time @ Bianca's, a very nice restaurant here downtown, and i can only hope that they enjoyed the experience so much, that they will actually come back someday. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart, i saw PJ in toronto in 2000, and last night made me love the band even more.....if that was possible....Thanks again, JenD

Well said!

I got this from another section featuring an Ed interview in Spin magazine:

"...it's about the purity of the experience, the potential music has to reach people and communicate. It doesn't matter the size of the communion, y'know? Thirty, 40, 150 people. It's so powerful. So for me, and many others, even kids who aren't in bands, it's been a shining energy, a good force."

That's the kind of connection these guys had here in St. John's. I saw the band in Toronto in 2000 as well, and I have to say, these concerts were actually better, and infused with so much passion!

Thanks for coming....hope to see PJ again in the near future:)

[jtr101]

someone pulled Eddie to the side and were pointing to their watch... Eddie looked pissed and went and told Jeff and Matt... I guess management REALLY did want them to get off stage.

Yeah i saw that as well....i really think it had something to do with them being rushed...

Either way my First 2 PJ shows were everythign i expected and more!!

[Rockin'InCanada]

i thought those shows would be better too,
but i have to say WINNIPEG was the gem of the tour.....it was really special

OKay from what I have read/heard I see the "gems" out of the tour being the following shows...although ever show was great for its own individual reasons but from a bootleg collector I recommend (for the Canadian portion)...Vancouver (30 songs and very loud)....Calgary (great setlist and even louder than Vancouver)....Saskatoon (awesome setlist)...Winnipeg (crazy loud)....Kitchener (very fucking loud)....London & Ottawa (amazing setlists)...and Halifax (no explanations needed for this one...love this boot)...those are my picks for gems although I would have killed to be at more shows....this is just my opinion....

[Rockin'InCanada]

Thats a shame they had to leave somewhat early...willing to bet if they werent playing Pittsburgh right away...they would have played longer....anyways looks like an awesome two nights in St.Johns....now sadly back to reality and no more PJ in Canada....:(

[justam]

bee girl is making it into rotation now that IS exciting

I agree. :)

[rollingstone423]

sat rocked harder-more punk rock-high energy- got my Don't Gimme No lip which I had been singin all through the Newark airport.
sunday had some special treats in there-but all n all short and the energy bounced. Newfoundland was so small town that all the stores had only wooden penguins and knitted sweaters and shit but everyone was genuinely nice.
We ate at Biancas the night after Pearl Jam which by NYC standards was mediocre at best, but for this town it was like eating at the Prince's Palace. Rode the elevevator in the Delta with Matt...there was some Loreal convention and this chick with 20 foils in her hair and a blck cape got on at the lobby level- I said " Are they filming a Star Trek Episode?" Matt was cracking up-
We Expected to hear a lot more "Aye's" only heard it twice from this cat Jeff and his wife who we met down in the 12th row. Guess that's another part of Canada! It was worth the trip up there specifically cause it'll cost less then if we just went over to AC...the Borgata rooms alone would put you in the hole. Thank you Pearl Jam & thank you innocent small town St Johns.

[J_Ride99]

I was on Stone's side of the stage tonight (right behind Boom) and at the end of the 2nd Encore, someone pulled Eddie to the side and were pointing to their watch... Eddie looked pissed and went and told Jeff and Matt... I guess management REALLY did want them to get off stage.

Anyway... we got the setlist from the guitar tech after the show.. they cut out a LOT of songs.


Oceans, Last Exit, Animal, State, Hail Hail, Corduroy, Wishlist, Dissident, Deep, Even Flow, Insignificance, You Are, In My Tree, I Got Shit, 1/2 Full, Black, Go

Bee Girl, Man Of The Hour, (Off He Goes) , Crazy Mary, Crown Of Thorns, Alive

Light Years, Jeremy, RVM, Betterman, Fuckin Up, Rockin In The Free World, Yellow Ledbetter


Stupid fucking retards...no wonder nobody wants to go to NF...management like that is enough to keep even the most dedicated band away. I can't believe I missed Deep...Crown Of Thorns...Off He Goes...because of those asses.

[c_robio]

Hey all,

First off both shows rocked as usual. The first show had a lot of energy from the beginning and kept up for the entire set. The second show was a gradual rise in energy that eventually exceeded Saturday night. Sunday was a little strange at first because they came out so strong (the first 9 songs is the best start I've heard/seen) yet the crowd wasn't as energized as the night before. I can attribute this to 2 things, Saturday night there was 10 club members occupying the prime seats to get the place rockin' as many have pointed out and also there was about 10 times more drunk people by the time they came out saturday. They stopped serving alcohol at 8:30 both nights.
But as Sunday night went on the place got louder and louder, I think what got everybody going was when Eddie was flashing the lights on the flags. From that point on it got louder and louder to a point where I couldn't hear him singing Jeremy, and RITFW was just ridiculously loud for such a small stadium. I was hoping that it would be apparent on the boot but you can't hear it from the recording so you had to be there.

For setlists I preferred Sunday even though it was cut short by the Mile one Management (Doesn't surprise me with their history). You could tell Eddie got pissed off cause he was making sarcastic remarks about it like telling the crew that they have to hurry up we don't have much time, and they hoped that the energy of the concert served the hockey team well. The hockey team needed ice for a monday morning practice. So according to what I've read we lost Oceans,Deep,Off He Goes,Crown of Thorns, RVM, Fuckin Up, and Yellow Ledbetter. The gem setlist everyone was looking for was planned but
never came to be.

I'm still happy that I got to go to both shows and am once again impressed with the enthusiasm of Newfoundlanders. I'm sure the band was impressed as well.

[mookie77]

Everyone I talked to LOVED the 2 shows and isn't that what matters??? I was under the impression that you go to a PJ show to hear the band play not analyze every set list and shit on the ban for not playing "long enough".

Sorry about sounding a bit upset but sometimes people get too caught up in the technical and they don't see the forest for the trees (i.e. Pearl Jam actually coming to NL), Great shows!!! Great Energy!!!

that's my 2 cents

[i'mgoingtolukins]

I know this is irrelevant now that the show is over and done with, but was it Mile One's management that kicked them out? or Pearl Jam's management?

There's a reason for both sides:

PJ's management... The trucks having to catch the ferry the next morning.. (a good 10 hour drive from St. John's to Port aux Basques probably even longer where they're in 18 wheelers, where the majority of the trans canada highway is 2 lanes.

or:

Mile One's Management wanted them out cause the fog devils needed ice to practice on the next morning. I think this is dumb, because the crew has everything tore down and packed up by like, 2AM anyway (that's what time they left Halifax), and say if the hockey team skates at 9AM, that's 7 hours to take the floor off the ice. It doesn't seem like Pearl Jam would listen to the venue management anyway when it comes to curfue or pressure from the venue to plan for something the following day. The promotor paid full rent for Mile One, for the nights they were there, and it doesn't seem fair to boot the band out early in the night because the fucking fog devils need to have a "morning skate" for their game tonight. If they wanted to skate bad enough they could go down to memorial stadium.

And the most important point, it would probably become a Legal matter if Mile One kicked them out anyway.

Personally, I think it was just because they had to make it to the ferry.
And I would say Eddie would have had something to say if it was because the hockey team wanted to have a skate the next morning.

A few points...
no one sells penguins in st. john's, they're called puffins and they fly and look nothing alike. If you had bothered to look outside of the most touristy spots you may have seen other things more worthy of your greatness.
It's nice to know that we can come close to approaching the mediocrity of NYC, thanks for the compliment...

The only people that say "aye" anywhere in Canada I would suspect are either wannabe pirates, Irish ex-pats or working on a ship. Lots of people in the rest of Canada say 'eh' but not many do here.

Your condescending, full of worldly knowledge, attitude is refreshing and such a nice change from the general tone of these boards which tends to be conciliatory, friendly and open. Any time you feel like gracing us with your presence please come again, i'm sure we could all learn a lesson or two from your street wise, cosmopolitan attitudes...

*claps* Exactly what I wanted to say!
I <3 you hahahah

Like Eddie said on Saturday night, this place looks alot like West Seattle without the killing and the raping. I'll take my knitted sweaters, "penguins" and mediocre food any day :D

[FlameHead]

Here, Here.

I personally loved both shows and am very greatful to have had them come here to play for us. It's something that I never thought would happen and am so happy that it did.

Yes, the set was a little shorter and they played some of the same songs both night but it was still an experience I'll never forget. I'm still in a state of shock from the whole thing and need time to come down before really talkin' about it.

Has anyone listened to the d/l for the show yet? What's it like?

[Dextaaah]

does anyone know if they recoreded eds solo of Hide Your Love Away?? I wouldn't mind geting that to go along with my download.

I think its great the St John's people got their shows, regardless of how long they were, whether the band got booted early or not, whether the show was "as advertised" or not, or whether or not people who travelled quite a way to see the shows were satisfied or not. Take it this way: The band, almost immediately, decided to go with not one but two shows on the edge of North America, because you Newfies blew them away with your demand (and rightfully so... sounds like it's been a long time since you've seen a show of this magnitude). Shouldn't we as a whole commend rather than condemn the band for heading out there and playing a grand total of around 5 hrs of excellent music for what sounds like an overall enthusiastic crowd? Maybe people weren't as "in" to it the second night, maybe management (on either side) pushed the band out earlier than they wanted, maybe some other shit went down that the rest of us don't know about... the fact of the matter is Pearl Jam went literally coast to coast in Canada, something that rarely happens by any multi-national band as it is, and all the Newfoundlers (sp?) I've seen post have been nothing but extremely excited that their favorite band made it a point to visit their home town. Why can't everyone else be content with the fact that the band played as best as they could for as long as they could in a place where very few others even dare to venture?

I for one stand behind the St John's folks who have expressed gratitude to their favorite band for heading off to their little corner of the planet to play a show, regardless of the length. I'm glad you were all able to get the visit you all had looked forward to with such passion.

I find it funny that you only think Biancas was mediocre are best best the New York Times liked it enough to give it 4 1/2 stars. I guess your taste is better than the New York Times.

[Eggman420]

Actually ... they were in a hurry to get out of there.

Immediately after the band left the stage, the crew invaded the stage and proceeded to dismantle the bands gear.

2 of the 5 trucks used to transport the bands production had to be across the Island in 12 hours in order to get the Ferry to North Sydney, Nova Scotia on their way to Pittsburg. The other 3 trucks were going to Atlantic City and the 11a.m. departure (Ferry) was not an issue.

Be Safe
Dr.

Yeah that's true. Actually, Jill Vedder personally told us we couldnt go backstage because they werent even sticking around, they had to hurry out of there. I dont know about any of the management stuff, but I believe they stayed on stage as long as they possibly could without screwing up their next shows. Kind of a bummer because I was hoping to be on stage for R.I.T.F.W. oh well...

[lonegreyrider]

Both St. John's shows were amazing. I still haven't spoken to anyone who was there and thought otherwise (and it seems like everyone was there). The crowd was definitely a little more tame on Sunday, and I do believe that it has to do with the way the concert was added last minute. If Pearl Jam, or any other big band for that matter, decide to come to Newfoundland again, I don't see why they wouldn't just book 2 gigs anyway - it helps to make up for the extra cost of travelling here and the small venue, and I know for a fact that if everyone had known about the second show in advance, it would have been rockin twice as hard as the night before. I did notice people around me who weren't that into it, and gave me and my friend weird looks when we were freaking out after every song, or sayin stuff like "Is that In My fucking Tree? Holy Shit! In My Fucking Tree".
Anyway, I wouldn't take back either show for the world - the band seemed to enjoy themselves, and they looked way more animated than I've seen on video over the last few years. I got the impression that they were genuinely taken with the place, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

And to those who were unimpressed with this little city - sorry, we ain't New York City, but there's beauty in simplicity too.

Cheers,

John

[lennoxx]

I've got both bootlegs and theyre AMAZING. "Black" has been my favourite song since it was released, and to now have a copy of it the first (and second) time(s) I heard it live is just outstanding. *goosebumps*

Some people were having problems with the downloads but I didn't have any trouble!

[dustinpardue]

I don't mind a shorter show if it is a great show, which I am sure this one was. And shorter is sometimes better when i am at a show because i always refuse to go piss because i am afraid i will miss "No Way" or somethng

*clap clap clap* :) Thanks so much!! You summed up absolutely everything I felt about it! PJ came to the edge of canada and within ONE day of tickets going on public sale, they added a second show!! Stop trying to bring us all down, and take it for what it was... an absolutely amazing band coming to an absolutely amazing place to play some awesome fuckin music!! Kudos to you my friend

[rollingstone423]

yeah, seems like the only reason there's no rapes or killings in St Johns is cause the women are so ugly-who'd wanna rape em- and your town is so broke from selling wooden "puffins" and hand crafts( that no one needs cause you're all selling them) that there's no money to kill for.

Not allowing water on the floor is a pretty stupid decision your government came up with causing people dehydration down on the floor up close...causing low energy-

[i'mgoingtolukins]

That was Pearl Jam's rule. ha ha ha way to go. moron.

Typical idiot american. I haven't even been to the Maritimes but i'm sure it would be better than walking down the street and seeing a dead bum getting peed on.

[char25]

Were you hoping to get raped or murdered here? You're pretty cocky and arrogant, especially coming from a place like New York - maybe you're upset because you couldn't get anyone to sleep with you...maybe you couldn't get anyone to sleep with you here because YOU'RE too ugly...no wait, that's not it, we don't sleep with someone from another country after knowing them for less than a day, my bad. Come to think of it, maybe the only reason why you New Yorkers have to rape and murder is because you're too ugly for any of the women down there to want to sleep with you...no, that's probably not it either, again, my bad, it's probably that your women are actually intellengent human beings and you're just an asshole...no place or person is perfect to everyone, try having some respect, loser.

[SweetRelief]

Not allowing water on the floor...(snip snip snip)... causing people dehydration down on the floor up close...causing low energy-
That happened to me...no fun.

And I really hope the rest of what you said in this thread was just said to get a rise from people. St John's is beautiful, there's no denying it. The shows were fantastic, there's no denying it. End of story.

Have a happy boring life....

Speaking as someone who moved here from the west coast, newfoundland has an unusually high amount of hot girls.

[char25]

I got laid all weekend

Ha, ha, ha it doesn't count unless there's another person involved...

[Lost_Clay]

i met this jeff dude before the show from alberta he got a shirt signed by a few band members and is goin to auction it off as a fundraiser, actually while we were speakin w/ him jeff walked by us in motel lobby!! and signed it, i was a lot more calm seeing him that day, i was the last of my friends to head to the show, there was some sort of fashion show in the motel lotsa weird ass lookin ppl, but while smokin one last cigarette outside near entrance, STONE walked out!! just told him to have a good show

i got to the venue just in time, i went to check see for a different poster, saw that it was the same as nite 1 (and still not sold out??!) picked one up after show, but as im lookin for a gate i hear eddie start hide your love away! sweet, my seats were in row U tonite stones side, wintersleep (great band name btw) played same set i believe, even better second time around

highlights for me : hail hail, insignificance, I GOT SHIT, half full (when eddie kept the light on that flag that said thanks!) BEE GIRL! man of the hour & light years

dont know what to believe about the show being cut short, regardless sucks that there were some song cut out, all in all great times, we hung out at a bar until 4am before leaving for the airport, met some of the crew there & basecamp guys, i got home exhausted this morning and went to sleep for 11 hours

the people in newfoundland were amazing, so friendly, i'd go back in a heartbeat

I guess it was such a rare occasion that you felt it necessary to share with everyone here!

You are truly my fucking hero.

[tededfred]

Thank you for coming to Canada PJ. Thank you 10c for squeaking me in this summer just in the nick of time. Two amazing shows for me Saskatoon the setlist I don't think it could have been better suited for my liking. Winnipeg was amazing because it was sooooooooooo loud. So glad to have the concerts to enjoy over and over. After Fargo in 2003 it took me a year to come down from that. Can't wait for the new album that's gonna be awesome. Maybe just maybe I'll get to go see them in Wyoming or Montana or something. :D Thanks PJ!!!!!!!!

[Kristy345]

It's kind of funny to read the posts on here, with people taking shots at Newfoundland. I've never been there myself but I find it hard to believe that people could find something so wrong with such warm, friendly people and awesomely named towns...

Heart's Content, Heart's Delight, Heart's Desire, Little Heart's Ease, Little Paradise, Cupids, Bumble Bee Bight -- and of course, Dildo, Come-by-Chance, and Blow-me-down ;)

No, St. John's isn't New York, but New York isn't St. John's either. I've never seen icebergs off New York, or eaten seal flipper pie there or cod tongues. I've also never stepped over homeless people in the streets of St. John's.

Newfoundland is one of the funkiest, friendliest, coolest, most unique and beautiful places in all of North America.

Travel with an open mind or why bother.

[lezcuff]

I find it funny that you only think Biancas was mediocre are best best the New York Times liked it enough to give it 4 1/2 stars. I guess your taste is better than the New York Times.

FYI, I live here and IMHO Biancas is on the list of the LAST places to eat unless you like your portions small, stacked and expensive. No doubt, the original poster will assume that I'm low-brow and consequently won't listen to my opinion. But, then again, i don't care about that either. I'm one of those people who wants my food to arrive in a heap, not in a dainty stack.

To our visitors,... we're glad that you enjoyed your trip here. Come again soon, even without Pearl Jam (but try to bring Pearl Jam back with you if you can).

New York we ain't. Canada we ain't. We are what we are and that's fine with us.

when i saw stone on the street by the delta i made sure he knew that we(as canadians) were VERY grateful for the CANADIAN tour and especially the fact that we didn't have to cross the border to chase the dream down this time around.

i have only good things to say about the province and the people of newfoundland. it was an amazing experience and it was truely worth spending a month's rent to see the tour close down in st johns

st john's is a beautiful city. the walking trail, leading down from signal hill into the city, was as breathtaking as anything i've ever seen/experienced.

BEST BAND EVER

[Boozer]

New York we ain't. Canada we ain't. We are what we are and that's fine with us.

I hope you don't speak for everyone over there...Canada we ain't? wow

[ThumbingMyWayToNFLD]

Well, I was sick outside (what a week for the the stomach flu :( ), so I ened up missing the first few songs, which was harsh for me because I didn't get to see Last Exit, SOLAT and Hail Hail. Still an amazing show, but, man, what a downer that is.

As for the shortness of it, I know the girl that Ed pulled up on stage and I was talking to her and her friends for ages after the show. They were supposed to go backstage again last night, but apparently the band had to leave immediate to go to New York for some reason.

[hoppy22]

yeah i was hoping to snagg an autograph... after they didn't play do the evolution
and the guy at the delta told me they took a cab to the airport and flew off to pitsburgh on their jet directly after the show

[lezcuff]

I hope you don't speak for everyone over there...Canada we ain't? wow

Yes, in canada we are. Like canada we ain't. Just like we're not like New York.

And I am very proud to be a Canadian. However, Newfoundland is not Canada in a way that St. John's is neither Halifax nor New York. All three are great cities with their own charms, but only one of them is New York.

Ok, sure,... technically, we do trade the canadian currency, and we are under the umbrella of canada and we do enjoy the advantages of being Canadian along with our mainland and other-island bretheren. However, many of us here on the Rock would say that we're Newfoundlanders first and Canadians second, even though most of us were born Canadian citizens and most of our parents were born Canadian.

The thing to remember is that most of our grand parents were NOT born Canadian. Many of our grandparents and great grandparents saw their fathers, brothers and sons killed in the first world war and watched as their country went into a kind of bankruptcy-protection receivership. We ended up in Canada's custody mainly because our mother country Britain wouldn't forgive our war debt (the one we incurred fighting for their freedom) our nationality was traded to Canada. We brought a huge coastal fish stock, tremendous hydro power, vast petroleum deposits and minerals into Canada.

Canada completely blew out the fish stocks due to it's unwilllingness to listen to hands-on fisherpeople and it's subsequent complete balls-less-ness in the international arena. Lately it's been trying to improve it's act but so much has already been lost to rapers of the sea. Canada also won't make Quebec let us push power from Labrador into the United States across quebec. Instead, we've got to sell all our power to Quebec for rock bottom prices and they resell it to the US for a tidy profit. Does that make you feel warm there in New York? It drives me crazy if I think about it. grr. grr. Love Quebec. Good Quebec. Nobody bitch at Quebec, it'll get pissy and leave.

I digress.

HOpe you enjoyed the show. Come back anytime. Don't let my rant above bother you. Just because we're not Canada, doesn't mean we're not happy about it. Like it says in the old song: We'll Rant and We'll Roar like True Newfoundlanders.

[philiph]

While The federal gov't is partly to blame for the collapse of the fish stocks, they dont share the blame completely. If we were so sure of the depleting stocks, we as Newfoundlanders should have stepped up to the plate, and cut back our fishing. We cant blame the federal government completely, they did not fish... we did. So this no fault attitude that for some inane reason still enjoys support amongst some newfoundlanders and labradorians is bogus.

And we are Canadians, and I for one am a proud Canadian. and a Proud Newfoundlander. Hail Hail the lucky ones.

Great shows. Would have loved to have heard crownofthorns. But ill get over it. till next time, well heres to hope !

[wewerebutstones]

V[ANTIS']yikes...definately not what i was expecting...thought these 2 shows would be the gems of the tour...guess i was wrong

I agree...I was expecting some LOST DOGS...i.e. rarities for at least ST John's 2, but was disappointed, although hearing Bee girl was great!

I would say both set lists were pretty much common, and night 2 was short!
I would give show #1 the edge, and although I was expecting more, I had a great time in this lovely city on the edge of North America. Did some drinking at the pubs, people I met were really friendly and great to hang out with!!

"triangulation of crossfire, that's the key"....

The shows rocked with potent and inspiring music...awesome!!! While the die-hards from away may have wanted a Lance Armstrong-style marathon, I believe we may have been given the best, and most passionate performances of the tour...(btw, I've also heard this from a few of those die-hards from away). I hope the guys return next time on tour, as they hinted a little at...how can we make this happen?:)

Pearl Jam is, perhaps, the most authentic band that everyone has heard about....that's not an easy thing to achieve in this day of empty corporate crap...but they've done it. And the fans who are lucky enough to see them live are witnesses to pure magic.

Thanks for making us the lucky ones this past weekend in St. John's...;)

I agree 100%...Every Pearl Jam show is amazing. Anyone who was disappointed by the set lists were obviously not at the shows. People seem to like thinking that the St. john's shows were not as good as the rest for peace of mind, in knowing they didn't miss anything "special". Newfoundland does not get many awesome bands such as Pearl jam, so I loved every second of it.

[Lost_Clay]

i dunno if it's been mentioned here yet,

but here i am listening to this boot for first time since show, the outro to black..

elanor rigby *good chills*

[snowdog]

4 days after the concert, and the show is still not posted on www.twofeetthick.com

I wonder why? It was a great show, but something happened to cut it a little short, maybe we will get some kind of 'official' word at twofeetthick.

[canadaman]

i dunno if it's been mentioned here yet,

I noticed that too!! I thought I was the only one for a bit....have they done that version before? It was so cool:)

What's the rest of the boot like? I can't wait to get it...

[dbrinston]

I noticed that too!! I thought I was the only one for a bit....have they done that version before? It was so cool:)

What's the rest of the boot like? I can't wait to get it...

The boots for both shows are awesome! Betterman on Sunday was a treat...when the crowd was singing and then eddie says "Last night was louder"....wow did it ever get louder after that. The funny thing is, Eddie didn't let the crowd sing it Saturday night....he sang everything....not like usual. Other notable tunes on the boot are Daughter - Saturday night...the crowd was into that one especially the outro with the crowd repeating after Eddie - sounded deadly. Animal and Go both nights kicked hole. Defnitely worth the purchase!

[Lost_Clay]

yeah it was amazing moment, im not sure if he's sang that bit before or not but it was beautiful

the rest of the boot rocks, love the lil' speech before bee girl

''usually just stay in the basement and paint w/ grapejuice"

[TransplantedNewf]

There's clapping during Man of The Hour...it ruins it, IMO. In fact, during the show, when people around me started clapping, i wanted to yell "NOOO! DON'T!!"
I was kinda upset that the line "Live from St. John's it's Saturday night." isn't in the boot at all.
Other than that, they're both awesome!

Damn, are you serious? Why would they leave something like that out? That moment sent the crowd into a frenzy. Why damnit? Why!!

[fpa]

how can that line not be on Saturdays boot, I'm pissed. lol (not really but was really looking forward to it). Can you hear how loud the crowd is during RITFW? Im sad I havent downloaded it yet, I need a better connection (dail-up sucks!).

[mookie77]

um yes that line is in the boot... check at the end of Corduroy it is freakin AWSOME!!!! Atleast it's in the boot that i got haha

[D2theP]

Hope you weren't around me, I was freaking out all night. :D

[FlameHead]

It's damn good to hear that "Live from St. John's, it's Saturday Night" is there. I was worried there for a second.

Man, what a weekend it was. I'm still depressed that it's all over actually. I can't wait to get those bootlegs to bring me back. It's still so sureal.

[SweetRelief]

I'm still depressed that it's all over actually. I can't wait to get those bootlegs to bring me back. It's still so sureal.

I had a friend ask what I've got to live for now that *THE* weekend is over. :eek:

45 songs.
Those of us who were fortunate to get tickets to both shows got to see the best band in the world sing 45 different songs.

I just want to send a big thanks to the band and everyone involved in the tour for coming to visit us here in Newfoundland.

Two Feet has the write up for the 25th’s show up now…or if you can consider it a write up. I’m thinking about writing them myself so that the show can have some justice done to it.

One cool thing pertaining to Sunday’s show here in St. John’s, my buddy who just got home from Texas (he was flown out because the hurricane was coming) got home just in time for the show. He called me up wondering if I had a ticket left…luckily for him and for me that I did. (Believe it or not I was having trouble getting rid of that last ticket…nuts isn’t it?)
He asked me about bringing in a digital cam to the show…we said that it shouldn’t be a problem as there were loads of them there at the first show.
Through the jigs and the reels he told me that he bought a new 1Gig memory card for it…and that’s when the fireworks went of in my lil noodle.
Asked him if it took video…sure did…asked if it captured audio too…sure did!
SWEET!!
We got Small Town, Evenflow, most of Alive and the better part of Jeremy on video!

It freakin’ rocks!!!!

I can only hope that the do a dvd for this tour!

Thanks again guys for one of THE best weekends of my live…you have TOTALLY spoiled me now for seeing any other concerts…because no matter what other bands I see…they will NOT be able to live up to the shows that you put on here in St. John’s!

[bharQ]

still tempted to get the st johns saturday boot... but i think i have enough

i have the rest of the tour lol is there anything that stands out besides the line "Saturday night in st johns"

Ah man...that big bouncer dude he was on our ass all weekend.
We went down by the backstage enterance to listen to the sound check for the first show and maybe sneak a peek in and score an autograph...when he come out and told us to get back up by the road behind the barrier. We tried to plead our case and asked him to cut us a break...he said "I am giving you a break...I'm asking you with a smile."

Round 1: Bouncer 1 - Us 0

So we get to the show sat night 16th row, me and my buddy were gonig nuts. So we hop up on our seats to have a better look at the band and all things...and who should come and tell us to get down...you got it...the bouncer dude.

Round 2: Bouncer 2 - Us 0

So the next day we went to the Delta to see if we could see and/or meet the elusive Pearl Jam. And who should we meet...but this one is the funniest. He told us that if we wanted to get an autograph or whatever the best place to do it was at the venue. ??? What? We tried that...and HE himself told us to get the hell out of there.

Round 3: Bouncer 3 - Us 0

So after carring Vs. and a Sharpie in my pocket all weekend...trying our hardest...we got nothing.

But I hope my lil story made you laugh.

:-D

SWEET man can I get a copy of that hahaha let me know through PM

[FlameHead]

I'm finally gettin' a chance to listen to this show for the first time since seein' it and it sounds fantastic man. I'm instantly taken back to the night and relivin' the whole thing in my mind and havin' a supper time doin' so.

I really think the guys loved it here. I know they do similar antics and say the same kinda stuff everwhere but I truly felt they had a super time while visiting this province. I feel that it inspired them... as we are a truly unique place in this huge world of ours... not to say that everywhere isn't.

They spoke so much about Newfoundland and it's beauty on night one and Eddie even encorperated a little something at the end of Wishlish on night 2; "Keep me warm, keep me warm. I'll think of St. John's to keep me warm". Man, that was truly a special moment for everyone.

The highlight of the night for me was when Ed got out the mirror (Half Full) and started reflecting the light on the crowd, all around the stadium. Just to the left of the stage he found a Newfoundland flag and held the light there for a few moments as the crowd went completly nutty. Then, he moved from there to the Canadian Flag hangin' from the rafters, where the crowd went even more insane. He ended the song back on the Newfoundland flag. Awesome, Awesome stuff.

Again... thank you so much Pearl Jam for comin' here and rockin' our socks off.

hahah it did, i saw around tons of times, even in halifax, only time i spoke w/ him was out on george st. sat nite, he was standing next to me, so i said 'hey man, you got a drink?' he nodded and gave him a cheers and went along my way

[bonavista2005]

just downloaded the boot and HAD TO mention that i thought it was a very nice jesture to include pictures of all the crew...i knew something was up when the show suddenly ended before it's time and the crew was tearing down the stage in a faster pace than i had ever seen. cheers to the crew!

you said... "i knew something was up ..."

What happened anyway? does anyone know for sure? Was it the hockey team or the pending storm er what?

[FlameHead]

Nobody knows for sure but Mile One replied back to a few emails about the situation sayin' that they have never or would ever kick an act our. They even sent along the scheduled given to them by PJ's people statin' that they wanted to be out of there by 10:00.

From what I've heard, they had a flight that night to fly out of the city that they couldn't miss. Must of has something planned elsewhere; perhaps Ed had a meeting with his friend that got married during the tour? Who knows...

[bonavista2005]

you said... "i knew something was up ..."

i heard/read that they needed to pack up the equipment and get it to the ferry in time to make the next gig...they couldn't keep the ferry waiting and couldn't afford to miss it.

[ThumbingMyWayToNFLD]

i heard/read that they needed to pack up the equipment and get it to the ferry in time to make the next gig...they couldn't keep the ferry waiting and couldn't afford to miss it.

That's the truth, there. Straight from Jill Vedder. She came out before the show right next to where I was to talk someone I knew (the infamous Kelly) and that was part of the conversation.

[O_G_D]

Hope this is nobody we know... from www.vocm.com.

A visitor to the province has fallen victim to the waves at Cape Spear. An extensive search was initiated last evening after the 24 year old man was apparently swept off the rocks. The young man was with three friends taking pictures of the swells when a wave dashed over the rocks and dragged him into the water. His companions called for help just after 7:30pm. The Coast Guard, Rovers, Police and Fire Department, responded. Heavy seas did not help the search effort.


I was also wondering if it may have been visiting Pearl Jam fans.

[O_G_D]

A few points...
no one sells penguins in st. john's, they're called puffins and they fly and look nothing alike. If you had bothered to look outside of the most touristy spots you may have seen other things more worthy of your greatness.
It's nice to know that we can come close to approaching the mediocrity of NYC, thanks for the compliment...

The only people that say "aye" anywhere in Canada I would suspect are either wannabe pirates, Irish ex-pats or working on a ship. Lots of people in the rest of Canada say 'eh' but not many do here.

Your condescending, full of worldly knowledge, attitude is refreshing and such a nice change from the general tone of these boards which tends to be conciliatory, friendly and open. Any time you feel like gracing us with your presence please come again, i'm sure we could all learn a lesson or two from your street wise, cosmopolitan attitudes...


Sounds like rollingstone423 really struck a nerve with you? Stop being so fucking proud. Chill out.

You said

Is this another attempt to distinguish yourself differnet from the rest of Canada? Do you really need to try so hard? That new flag (well old one) that you are tryng to bring back is fucking ugly. It looks like Italy's flag and whats worst it has pink on it. Would this be the only flag in the world with Pink on it?

He did'nt like the restuarant and mistook a puffin for a penquin. Big fucking deal. You act like he spit in your mothers face or something.

You really don't read things very thoroughly before getting a bad case of verbal diarrhea. You also seem to score very low on reading comprehension, the veiled (and not so veiled) comments made by that asshole deserved some rebuttal.
Do you always try to start arguments about things you know nothing about? The next time someone is "tryng" to bring back a "differnet" flag perhaps they should run it by you first. Then they can make sure it is similar to the flag of a country that you like.

Sorry if I am proud...but that sometimes happens when people are from a plac e that they can be proud about. I can feel your ranting and raving continue and i'm sure you will try and hi-jack every newfoundland related thread with your bile and vitriol. Why don't you just think about this...and leave your virtual mouth shut for once. It's better to fade away than to burn out.

[O_G_D]

I felt you needed a rebuttal as well. So easy to piss of you proud Newfoundlanders its sickening. What buddy said wasn't bad at all for someone who it was probably their first time there. Big fucking Deal he did'nt like Bianaca's. Maybe its just someones personal opinion or preference. I wasn't impressed either. Most of my family on the Rock are from around the Bay. So i consider you a townie, just like any townie in the world be it New York, Toronto, whatever. Im a townie as well. Stop trying to make claim that you are so different, because your not.

Go to hell and get the F out of Canada if you don't like it Now that you have found your province has some rescources you want to be a greedy pig and are like Canada who? If your a proud Newfie then im a proud Canadian. Whats not to be proud of in the rest of Canada since your from a place that you can be proud of? Its sad but true, but your becoming worst then the seperatist in Quebec you bastard. Im sure you will be cheering for Team Canada in the Olympics though. Oh poor Newfoundland, so hard done. BOO HOO. And when did some drunk idiot decided to make the Flag issue a topic for disscussion. I mean i was there last year and not a mention of it. This year its on everybodies minds. Real important stuff.

So i consider you a townie, just like any townie in the world be it New York, Toronto, whatever. Im a townie as well. Stop trying to make claim that you are so different, because your not.

You have an amazing command of the English language. Your use of punctuation, capitalization and your amazing spelling skills all point to a superior intellect!!


Go to hell and get the F out of Canada if you don't like it Now that you have found your province has some rescources you want to be a greedy pig and are like Canada who? If your a proud Newfie then im a proud Canadian. Whats not to be proud of in the rest of Canada since your from a place that you can be proud of? Its sad but true, but your becoming worst then the seperatist in Quebec you bastard. Im sure you will be cheering for Team Canada in the Olympics though. Oh poor Newfoundland, so hard done. BOO HOO. And when did some drunk idiot decided to make the Flag issue a topic for disscussion. I mean i was there last year and not a mention of it. This year its on everybodies minds. Real important stuff.

I just love Newfoundlanders that move away and then attack the place they're from because they are so eager to be accepted by the people in their new "home" that they are willing to sell out their heritage. Nobody should ever hold on to their roots, it's so much more fun to be a poser and adopt a new identity. Newfoundland should never separate...where would you go to draw your pogey when you get your stamps!!

I wish all provinces were great like Ontario and have tens of thousands of high-paying federal government jobs...oh...what's that...you want to keep them for yourselves...I guess the income tax earned on their incomes must be a nice little revenue stream. Who would have thought that ruling a country from you province could be so lucrative. Unfortunately us Newfoundlanders aren't smart enough to come up with such outlandish scams...maybe some day we'll smarten up! But it's not just Newfoundlanders that are being stupid, seems to me that every province except for Ontario and Quebec have a much lower per capita rate of federal government employment. Come on Saskatchewan...B.C....Nova Scotia. I thought more of you than that...what's that...you have way more federal government jobs than us...damn...you have lots of doctors and hospitals...wow...you don't have to fly people out of your province for serious medical treatment...amazing...if you guys are getting screwed then we must be getting royally fucked!! Alberta is getting a raw deal too they say...what's that...oh...you own the oil underneath your land...interesting...the federal government says they own the oil underneath our land and water...maybe, just maybe we have been a bit hard done by. We traded our rails for roads, our fish for factories (in Ontario) and our electricity for the happiness of Quebec. They were all great for Canada, piss poor for us. Of course Canada keeps taking the resources, but they give us nice welfare and E.I. cheques...thanks guys.

Then do yourself, your employer, the rest of the people on this board and your fellow enlightened Ontarians a favour. Do a course or two in English at the local community college. Then, once you have mastered a-readin' and a-writin' head on to a university somewhere and do some Canadian history courses. Maybe even read a few books about Newfoundland history. You might actually learn something. Then you may realize how uninformed you are.

This isn't a political forum and I didn't start this shit but I apologize anyway.



In closing both Pearl Jam shows in Newfoundland were awesome, life-changing experiences for the uninitiated. I hope they come back many many times. They can play however long they want, wherever they want and whatever they want. I just hope that bullshit from assholes doesn't make them not want to ever come back.
