hahahahahaha this made me laugh ! thanks

Ill agree that disarm is the weak link-and the radio/video play killed it but I dont skip it Rush moving pictures comes to mind and as much as I hate to admit it Nirvana nevermind Tribe called quest low end theory kudos to whomever said pauls boutique (although I like Ill communication better and would add that to the list) Joe Jackson-big world Zep? its II for me Floyd? now that I think about it, they have a bunch of records that are damn close to flawless meddle, dark side, wish you were here, animals, the wall, the final cut-love em all start to finish funny, I dont think I saw a wh

off the top of my head Pearl jam-Vs. Smashing pumpkins-siamese dream Sugar-copper blue

got my tix for Thurs and Sat I am surprised how easy it was. Yeah the venue is in no mans land. But the venue does have 3-4 bars, with a nice selection of beers and a roof deck-prices are typical for NYC, but not outrageous. This is gonna be great.

I was also at that Hartford show (dont think I missed one in hartford 82-89) that SS breakout remains one of my top concert moments for any band Lots of grate shows at the civic center

like floyd one of the great rock n roll tragedies 30 years and no Zeppelin tour Im not really interested in either at this point. It would just be a money grab.

well he wasnt hanging out of the limo like a teenage girl on prom night the limo was making a left turn out of the venue the window was open and all the fans (20 people) on the other side of the street saw him and went nuts so he just kinda looked over and waved.

roger waters-pros and cons tour just got out of the show, feeling very good and with a serious case of the munchies, my bro and I are standing in line at the chili dog truck and a limo goes by-its waters sticking his head out and waving-like two feet in front of me very cool

Yeah, I did get one of the copies from there-not bad, but not great either. You should really check out the JGB stuff-some of it is just fantastic. I have had the warner theater show from 78 on repeat for the last few days. There are a bunch of 82-83 shows on there that I may check out this weekend. I am partial to the JGB shows 74-83 and the acoustic stuff 84-86. Not a huge fan of the bluegrass stuff or the later incarnation of the JGB that played arenas from 89? on.

thats probably the copy I have yeah tough to find good quality from those days

robert plant eddie vedder jim james bob dylan ??????? wow, just wow! has someone forgot lennon, mccartney and daltrey? There are only three bands whose singers totally irritate me-despite some decent music 1. Metallica-hetfield has the worst voice ever-I dont understand how people can listen to him 2. the arcade fire-shrilly annoyance 3. Liam Gallagher-now I dig oasis, but that nasally whine has got to go!

You are correct, I meant the Jerry and John acoustic shows. Definitely loved the set up in 1983, but after listening to some of the 78 shows (like the pure jerry warner theater release)-I think the band was just a little tighter and less speedy if that makes any sense (shift to a different white powder perhaps? ) loved seeing Jerry in the theaters, its really what got me hooked (5-30-83 show in particular- - Set 1 - How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), They Love Each Other, Mission In The Rain, Mystery Train, Gomorrah, Run For The Roses - Set 2 - Rhapsody In Red, I'll Take A Melody, Simpl

In a lot of ways I enjoyed the JGB shows more than the dead shows saw my first in May of 83 at the the Bushnell in Hartford-missed their peak by a few years and I feel lucky to have seen a bunch of the jerry solo acoustic shows good times

or else Ms. Koons' goons will get ya!!!!!!

the best part of the rider is that it states a preference for organic fruits and veggies, mineral water lots of healthy stuff then for after the show its states, chinese or pizza

yeah and if they play crazy mary, the bottle gets passed to those in the front rows used to be siduri-private stock just for vedder-or cal cabernets like Jordan but he has switched to italians-barolos as the rider states but he sure doesnt drink cheap wine Boston setlist is great, I was at hartford and newark and hitting MSG tonight and tomorrow The band is really in a groove. Hartford had more energy and a fun crowd, Newark had a better setlist. Should be interesting to see what they break out at MSG.

no question they know the market 40-55 years old with hefty bank accounts Im not surprised its still selling, the prices are carefully calculated to sell at the same price as the secondary market-i.e. stubhubis prices-this is what is turning me off- its the beginning of unaffordable tickets so that LN/TM can capture the profits being made by resellers. I hope nobody buys the 1700, 900 and 500 tickets and they are empty for the show. end rant Im sure it will be an entertaining spectacle. I wonder if he has any of the original props from the 1980 tour.

well put at least those guys are up there singing and playing their hearts out not sure the same can be said of roger waters at this point in his career

YUP $1700 for MSG Im so turned off by the prices. Can you say money grab? I love Waters and his tours when he had new material were great (especially pros and cons with clapton). But this is starting to feel more like a broadway play than a concert.

I dunno whats up with PJs sound man. Sometimes the sound is just off at arenas where the sound can be great. Also, when you are up close you dont always get good sound because the PA is playing over you. Dont compare them to Waters, PJ is actually singing and playing up there=a waters show is mostly recorded . Unfortunately, there are a decent number of 6ft+ guys, screamers, drunks, and off-key singers at PJ shows. Sorry to hear that you had one in front and one behind you. But that Cleveland setlist is fantastic. Ending with indifference=awesome.

If possible, I order directly from the artist. Otherwise, usually online, unless its something I must have right away, then I will hit borders or some other large retail outlet to get it. I prefer to have the actual CD and dont really buy digital copies or itunes stuff. Unless I have a buzz and the immediate need to hear some Billy Idol.

The independent Japanese CD shops used to be very cool, but in recent years I have seen less and less of them and the ones that I do still see have less and less unique stuff. I used to spend tons of cash there when most bands were offering bonus tracks/videos on CDs sold in Japan. A trip through the CD shops of Harajuku is just amazing. There is so much stuff that is sold only in Japan-especially if you are into DJ/Techno or jazz. Up until about 2002, you could always find boots in those stores-of just about every artist. They also would sell compilations that were put together by bootlegers.

I agree. I dont understand why anyone would purchase a "fabricated" boot unless it was a rare show or unusually high quality. I would say that its people who are technologically challenged or are scared to use BT/download sites. I know the Japanese shops you speak of as I often travel to Japan. I have not looked for a bootleg in those shops in years. There are fewer of those shops as well-they used to be everywhere in Tokyo. I never thought it was smart to plop down $40+ for a boot when you have not heard it first! Although I did do it a few times-One was Nirvana's final show-pretty good act

Only recently have I stared to enjoy it more. It helps to hear them live as well. Took the longest of all the records for me to start liking it.

Id guess that these guys and curtis management are precisely tuned in to what is happening. There is a some market for pre-2000 PJ boots (before they started selling them) but the band hasnt restricted trading or uploading of the older shows, so its weak at best. Actually, part of their decision to start selling high quality boots was due to the European bootleggers. At the end of the day, you can easily find the official boots to download-and the band doesnt do much to enforce its policies. Perhaps thats an unspoken part of the taping policy-"you will get our high quality boots anyway."
