Doug Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I wonder if this is the first time they have toured without releasing a new album. Nah. They toured in 2010, 2011, and 2012 without a new album to promote. Actually, they've toured almost every year since 1991. Exceptions are '97, '99, '01, and of course '15. Love these guys! Can't wait to see 'em in Florida in a few months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 They are one of those bands that I use to listen to a lot/sometimes still do - but don't know a whole lot about really. I suppose I know the general story - at least as far as what was presented in the PJ20 documentary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Backspacer came out in the latter half of 2009, and they only did a few shows, mostly out west and Philly. So 2010 was the proper Backspacer tour. But yes they tour pretty often, though it seems they like to alternate years between North America /Europe/South America..

I haven't been to Hampton since maybe '92. Forgot how small it was.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmada Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah, I went for Hampton for my 10c tix. Been a long time since I was last there and I knew MSG and Philly would be a nightmare to get tix.Hampton should be great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon2 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 yeah that's the other thing about Hampton. Noone that actually lives there gives a flying fig about decent music so its kinda a one off type of venue where folks from elsewhere catch a show in one of the best venues ever. I just wish I would have seen the Stones there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmada Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Completely shut out for both MSG shows.Figure it will be tough so I am putting out all kinds of feelers. Anyone hear of any extras-I am in the market! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Damada sorry to hear as of now stub hubs not too expensive if you sit behind the stage :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmada Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Damada sorry to hear as of now stub hubs not too expensive if you sit behind the stage :/ Thanks remphish, I will wait it out on stubhub. Prices are too high. I dont mind spending some money if it is a decent seat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks remphish, I will wait it out on stubhub. Prices are too high. I dont mind spending some money if it is a decent seat.

Yaz Rock Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 That was an amazing little run through the east coast. Went to 4 shows and enjoyed each one immensely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I have not watched the video yet - but did you see the show with Sting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I was there! Totally awesome, and completely out of left field. Surrender with 1/2 of Cheap Trick was awesome too! If Pearl Jam ever pulled a Wilco and performed an all-covers show.. well, I don't know that it would be better than Solid Sound, but it would be incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I forgot about Cheap Trick. That is cool you got to see that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmada Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Ended up scoring tix through a friend for night 2 and got a decent seat through stub hub for night 1-$260 for 200s, row 11, so not too bad.The first night was a great show for hardcore fans and the second night was a great rock concert. The cheap trick moment was probably the highlight for me. Took me right back to the new haven coliseum circa 1985. Awesome, just awesome. Night 2 the PA went out during porch, totally killed the momentum and it was surreal. Great shows. Hampton was also good. These guys bring it every night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I also just read they are bringing people from the audience up on stage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 The Porch thing didn't bother me as power only went out for a couple seconds. Not like 2006 when it went out for about 10 minutes. They brought one kid up on stage in Canada. That was cool. I didn't read of any others. But Ed has been going out into the crowd during Porch and Mike McCready has been going out into the crowd whenever he wants and then he is running around half the arena sometimes. There have been numerous special dedications too. Clearly someone is reading the PJ fanclub forum and the band is responding to messages that resonate with them. Makes each night uniquely special.

sonicshoulder Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 No Code and Yield to be reissued on vinyl. Good news for people like me who have always wanted No Code in their collection....bad news for the guys on Ebay who have been trying to sell original pressings for $350 the last 10 years.

Analogman Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have Vitalogy on vinyl I think I bought it for 5 bucks or so brand new back in the day. I don't think I have ever played it. That was the last brand new record I ever bought. I recall looking it up once and seeing those prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigideas Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 As much as the band hated Bush as president - I think they had at least 2 or 3 songs about him, maybe more - I wonder if they will start getting really busy if Trump got elected? Ha. I could see Eddie getting really passionate and pissed off about it. Did they write any pro-Obama type songs? When I was thinking about that, I was wondering if they will ever have a double album, kinda like their Exile.A double album of all goods songs pretty much recorded live in studio would be nice.Granted, they pretty much record a lot of it live anyway, I think, the instrumental backing tracks probably.
