West Coast tour this fall!!! no dates confirmed but west coast dates are in the works

I will see you at those dates...one of my best friends lives in PB and if they play Cox Arena again we will be there for sure...

Last time we did Vegas > SD, then I did LA1 > LA2 > SF2.

There's really nothing like catching them multiple times throughout the course of a week. The setlist variations are unlike any other band, totally different show each night.

I only saw the Cox Arena show last time...that was my first PJ show and what got me into them...saw them at Bridge School that year and Mansfield twice last year, but definitely plan on catching them at at least all the SoCal dates, possibly OSL as well but still am not sure about missing Street Scene...

[TallGuyCM]

You saw the right show...out of the 5 shows I saw in '06, the SD gig was the best. Satan's Bed......Long Road.......the first time Big Wave was played live.......and them opening with OCEANS.......................ahhhhhh I really need to see them soon.......

[tubescape]

first time I saw PJ was at the Santa Barbara Bowl in 2006. I had amazing seats, wasn't quite sure what to expect, and was just blown away by the performance. It was sort of a 50/50 acoustic/electric show too. Probably played close to 30 songs. Then Eddie brought his surfing buddy (and 9-time world champ) Kelly Slater up to jam. Very good evening at the bowl.

[TallGuyCM]

I wanted to go to that...but you had to have a Santa Barbara county zip code for your credit card billing address or something like that, so I wasn't able to make that one.

While normally true, it was barely different between SD and LA I. Seriously, maybe 5 songs were different, and the order was the same. I don't know what they were doing.

But yes, PJ had a good run through Cali in 2006. I caught them SD, LA I & II, SB, and Gorge I. It is tough to top the SD and Gorge I shows.

that really was THE show. best ive seen them in quite a while.

i agree. on that tour i saw them in sd, la1, and sb, and was kind of dissapointed in how similar the setlists were compared to what i was used to with them. oh well...cant really complain. still better than most other live bands out there.

[gimpboy76]

I knew about the shoe thing, but was that really the end of the show? Did they come back out and finish? Or was that the end of it?

Sorry, didn't see this post, no that wasn't the end they continued on behind a "wall" of monitors. I believe there's video of that from the same YouTube poster.

And I need to second all those who say that PJ is one of the best live bands touring right now. They're musicianship is on par with the very best of all time, I would tell the doubters to grab some boots from this last tour (esp. the Gorge)

i drove myself crazy in '08 thinking about how i'm missing them...so i flew back east and don't regret it at all...opening with Hard to Imagine the 1st night and Wash the 2nd night...amazing

[TallGuyCM]

Hard to Imagine does things to me that other songs don't do to me....it's almost transcendental....my #1 song on the short list of songs I've yet to see the band play live.

Also on that list: Red Mosquito, Smile, Undone, In Hiding

I am DYING to hear Smile, RM and In Hiding, and was devastated to see that I missed Sad by ONE day when i went back last year...still wanna see Sad

BTW, the version of In Hiding from the Vic in '07 is CRAZY!!! Can't imagine going to that

[pancakespancakes]

I haven't been into this thread yet... but I'd like to say that opening with "Hard to Imagine" last summer at Bonnaroo pretty much... changed my life.

And now, I will see Last Exit performed live before I die.

Pearl Jam plays for nearly 3 hours....My Morning Jacket plays all night for nearly 4 hours...Bonnaroo really outdid itself last year..........

In '03...PJ opened Irvine Night 1 with Of the Girl > Last Exit......

Last time I saw PJ Eddie covered I won't Back Down by Tom Petty acoustically. Pearl Jam's 2000 world tour was awesome. I bought at least ten of the official bootlegs and they are all great. Mike is one amazing guitar player. I'd really like to see them again. AZ got stiffed the last two times around I think.

[unitedwestand]

just tried getting a ticket 4 chicago show thru presale password, and there are only 300 level seating (nosebleed) seats left. when regular tickets go on sale, do they release more tickets or is this how many they have?

[TallGuyCM]

Are you serious? When regular tickets go on sale, every level goes on sale.

Oh, and I saw PJ at the Cricket Pavilion in Phx in '03. So they've been there since 2000.

presale is a small allocation of total tickets. wait till the regular onsale and you will probably have better luck, but you gotta be on the ball.

FUCK YEAH

[pancakespancakes]

HOLY SHIT!

That is so fucking great... ending with the Stripes, beginning with PJ.
And of course, his first show ever back in '93 was with musical guest Radiohead.

I wonder, does this mean... new song?

Yes.

[pancakespancakes]

I did not notice that snippet. I wonder if this is really more than one song.

[PJandBompton]

might have to try and go to this...wonder if there will be a show that weekend as well...

[SeeYouAuntie]

Oh, and I saw PJ at the Cricket Pavilion in Phx in '03. So they've been there since 2000.

I was at the show in '03. I just meant that 2000 was them at their absolute best in my opinion. I know they skipped us at least once since 2003 but I thought it was twice.

[TallGuyCM]

might have to try and go to this...wonder if there will be a show that weekend as well...

I would cancel pretty much any and all plans if they played a show or two while they're in town. I mean, they haven't played here since '06, so why not?

[Kid B]

Oh man, that's awesome news.

[uscjeff]

Wow - that last part is huge news!

[whynotsmile99]

so how do we get early Conan tickets?
