3 Days away from the 8th anniversary of Roskilde, I happened to be listening to the boot of the 9/29/96 show from Randall's Island and was struck by one of the moments...

After Tremor Christ Eddie addresses the crowd and tells them they have to calm down in the pit because it's getting a bit nuts

He says:

Let's keep a little light on...We just gotta calm things down just a little bit up front here...You guys gotta work with each other, there's too much swaying going on...And I don't know what else to say...What I can say is if someone was hurt to the point where they didn't live after tonight, I don't think we'd ever play again...Some bands continue on, I wouldn't be able to do it...Music ain't that important...So you guys really have to work together...I don't want this to be the last night
From everything I have read, they were really close to breaking up after Roskilde...It affects them to this dayGB those 9 "friends we'll never know"

Same thing happened during Tremor Christ in New Orleans in 09/95

:excited: Hard to believe it is that long ago. That's one reason I always dig LBC...what other band would write a memorial song to their fallen fans? Never got why this tune sometimes doesn't get much love, but its always moving to me.

 
That's the first two showsTwo week delay this yearBonnaroo tomorrow hopefully..
I can't wait to hear the Camden shows and MSGs...I wonder how they'll mix the crowd noise on the MSG bootsIt really was overwhelming at times
Hell yeah! I hope some of the crowd is in there....I ordered it today on CD....it'll be a pleasant surprise to find this in my mailbox in about a month. And I got a damn poster....what a nightmare that whole thing was. Anyone score Beacon tickets?

Dude posted a pair on the Pit. Guess they were $350 seats, because he wanted $800 total ($100 donation + 2 seats). May still be available, but I have too much coming up to swing it...very bummed about that though. Hoping for the miracle $250 seat with no strings attached:)

How did you get Beacon tickets? That's fantastic....I called in sick yesterday after the MSGII show. I was hurting and haven't taken any sick days this year....so I got to sleep it all off. Yeah, the whole poster thing is f'ed up. I actually had an extra wristband....I was in that mob of people....damn shame, could have handed it off to you. I wound up giving the extra wristband to a stranger..

I was lucky...Happened to be surfing the PJ boards the day when someone posted that they were on sale...Spent a day calling until I got through...Very psyched...I've ALWAYS wanted to see pJ at the Beacon, which is probably my favorite NY venue (not counting the Garden)Plus it is for charity, and I figure I'll get at least $50 back in the open bar (who am I kidding? $100)
 
GREAT Daughter tag on this 96 Randall's Island boot:

Yeah TU, I will be at the Beacon as well. Looking for a ticket tomorrow still but that will be easy. I'm actually trying to find a GOOD ticket. If worse comes to worse, I will get a lawner and move down. I/we could even have Canada Mike stub us down no problem. You're going, by the way.

Great song
Yeah I jammed to this one last night driving home. It was a House of Blues show after Riot Act came out, so guessing 2003.If you know the show I'm talking about, listen to the Habit.....wow what an amazing version, they were fired up for sure. Made me really want to hear that song in person again, haven't since Barrie '98.

The pit was absolutely insane that night...it was one of the craziest experiences of my life and one of my first real concert experiences. It was like a riptide sucking you down and I finally had to get pulled out by a security guard because it became too much to handle....Eddie went apesh*t more than once...laughed my ### off when he scolded the guys in the crowd about the "looney bin" :goodposting:

They continued on, until, before Animal, Eddie said something like this "We've got a problem, down front here. You guys gotta settle down in here..." And he continued on, Animal began. Right before the outro, Eddie just stops the music to yell at the crowd..."You guys got an Fin' mosh-pit down here. I know there's a looney bin around here, (pointing behind the stage to the right where the crowd could see the mental hospital) is that where you guys came from?" After screaming at the moshers some more, he settled down a little bit. "You know, it's like an ocean of people, and there's waves, and there's undertows and sometimes, when you get pulled under, it's hard to get up. (Talking to a 15 year old, getting crushed) C'mon little darlin' you don't belong in there, if you want out we'll find a place for you on the side (of the stage....lucky girl). You know...if there was someone, who...didn't... live after tonight...we'd never play a live show again. Other bands could do it, but I couldn't. Could everyone just pull back a few steps...we need to relieve some space here. (and mindlessly, as every dedicated fan would, we pulled back) I know that there's not a lot of room back there either, but, we need all the space we can get up here. (Talking to another young lady) Come on out sweetheart this security guard will find a place for you on the side...OK? Are we good here? OK, I want everyone who's standing to make sure that there's nobody under them." Then, almost humorously, the song picked up right where it left off.

Check this out, I just had a ticket on TM in the 2nd section, dead center, 2nd row. I put all the info in, then balked for minute, and when I hit purchase, got purged.

So I go back. And low and behold, I got one in Section 1. Sweet!

They are releasing tickets here and there today, that's for sure.

The Bonnaroo boot is now delayed two more weeks.

That tells me they are having a political issue with the Bonnaroo people and selling this show. That pretty solid audience recording may well be all we get.

On the subject of the boots... these things sound worse than the 06 boots and they take 13 days longer to make. The levels are effed up on all of them, and on the Columbia one, they cut Better Man in half! Whoever they gave this job to sucks my huevos.

Honestly if I listened to these boots and had never seen Pearl Jam, I would say these guys kinda sound like crap live. Every time I hear Jeff singing twice as loud as Ed, I think, I can't believe they released this #### to the public..

I am glad I didn't buy any of these; I had planned to buy both Camdens.

Well that's a bummer, I bought the MSGII show on cd....waiting on it still....now I'm not that excited to get it. TU have a great time at the show tonight....and anyone else that is going....

Thought I had a line on a ticket, but the guy kept yankin' my chain about what he wanted for it. Makes me think he didn't have squat. While for a good cause, guess I can use the $250 or more it would have cost (plus transportation). Will have to live this one through TU and the boards...
 
Just checked into our hotel in NY. Drove here with TU and Canada Mike. TU got into the show last night for 35 bones and ended up in a VIP box. Classic! Mike and I were 3rd row, in front of Stone. Night before I tried to settle in about 6 rows back but somebody came to their seats. So I went a couple rows down (fourth row), the seat right behind where I was last night. A cool couple next to me never said a word and I was set. Kinda made friends with the security dude which definitely helped. He let people rock out in the aisle -- no harm no foul -- nice kid.

Boston was a blast on Sunday for the Euro Cup final. Had a great dinner after and we all got loaded. Good times. Gonna head down to Amsterdam street right now to take the edge off. Canada Mike is resting up after the drive and No Drivers License Sean (TU) rolled into the office to act like he's on top of it. We're meeting up a little later for one last blowout. So glad I made the trip, it's been a blast. Can't wait for tonight. Rambling here, but I ran into PJ's sound guy just now and got to thank him for kicking me down a ticket to the Fonda show in LA last year. Scalpers were asking and getting, no joke, a grand for that one. Met and got a picture (not something I really give a #### about), with McCready at that one. In fact, I think I lost the pic I think. Speaking of pic(k)s, I got two from McCready last night. Gave the other one to TU.

Ed was a little surly on Saturday; heaved his empty wine battle against the backdrop in disgust that there wasn't anything left in it. Pretty funny. One of the roadies got caught sleeping on the job I guess. Not smart. Last night, however, Ed was in great spirits. Fun to watch Stone, the groove master, up so close. I'll leave the real review on the Mansfield shows to NDLS, or maybe do one when I get home.

Whoever is/was thinking about trying to go to the show tonight, should just go and try. If there's a will, there's a way. Alright, I'm ready for a jack n' coke. Peace... :rolleyes:

 
Another solid effort so far tonight:

Soundcheck: Harvest Moon (x4); Sleight Of Hand

Main set: Low Light*; Small Town*; Sleight Of Hand*; Harvest Moon*; Masters Of War*; Down; All Night; Corduroy; Even Flow; Light Years; Army Reserve; W.M.A.

* = songs played acoustic

And, who is CANADA MIKE?!?!? He's been referenced many times around here.....

 
Zill, how long are these going to be active for download? I'm having capacity issues on my #### laptop at home, not sure when I'm going to replace. Couldn't even get the Florida download on there.

 
Looks like a crazy good set again tonight....Undone... :mellow:

Not sure my bank account can keep up with the rumored EV solo East Coast tour coming up.... :lmao:

Anything new beyond what has been floated in the past? Heard his wife/girlfriend/whatever is preggers again, so curious how that impacts him being on the road, being the sensitive soul that he is:)ETA: Let's hope NYC is not far behind...

That is what I was referring to....supposedly a pretty legit source and along with several other rumors I've heard...where there's smoke, there's fire, imo....too much PJ/EV love on the East Coast for him not to do a mini swing....
 
Posted on the Message Pit and I confirmed it myself..

On PJ.com, if you click on Goods and then Tickets, it has EV Summer Tour listed (probably be gone soon)

EV SUMMER TOUR

Sooooooo wiped out from the past 5 days...

I left my apartment Fri AM and went to work fully expecting to not go up to Boston, and ended uyp not home again until 2 AM this morning...

So many highlights, last night's Beacon show was ridiculous!

Great set, but the feeling was amazing

As I have said, I LOVE the Beacon, and it was so great to see PJ there

Eddie was wiped...

Had to take a steroid shot yesterday AM to get his voice back so he could sing last night

Harvest moon was awesome, Low Light, Light Years, etc

Wow
