ok, I have never really listened to PJ before, I like the known songs, so where should I start?

[stalker]

NYC for one show then prob. either Hartford or Mansfield...Hartford '06 was a solid show, and first time PJ has been back to Mansfield since they were "banned" from the venue for playing too long over curfew.

could any 10C member hook me up with a request for the show in Columbia?

its will call only.

Ok I am very excited PJ is touring this summer. Problem is they're in my area the exact same week and a half that DMB is in my area. Working out the logistics of this with work is going to be really fucking difficult.

[Ledge]

Camden and MSG x2 for me. We'll see if the west coast dates work out for me at all when they are announced.

well if you really want to start, this is my suggestion. Get to know Ten and Vs really well, as these are their two best albums imo, and most representative of PJ's "sound." If you want a great live album, get Live on Two Legs, its a good live album to get started with. Then move on to Vitalogy, and if you really like what youve heard through all of those, then you can move on to the rest of their catalogue, which tends to be a little more experimental in terms of sound. Like Riot Act, which although is very different, is just an incredible album.

thank you. I did some research on itunes and thats what others said as well. I bought Ten and really like it. Do they jam out their songs live? I saw in this thread to get the Touring 2000 dvd, is that a good one to start with for watching a show?

They don't jam in the DMB sense, but they do extend some songs. The Boston '06 shows, 7.6.06, 6.29.00, and 9.19.05 are all shows I've been listening to a lot lately.

If you want some good basic info, I suggest the Pearl Jam message pit. It's kind of like Ants with the type of fans, but because PJ fans are approximately 1000000x better people, it's a great place to start.

has on sale dates for public been announced? I've been wanting to see PJ for few years and definitely going to the show in Columbia.

[phelps154]

I'll most likely be going to Camden...

Only got MSG N2. The 10c website was getting bombarded with hits for hours today.

Camden wasn't that bad. MSG N1 was pretty bad (I clicked for 45 minutes and only saw the "BUY" button twice...both times I didn't get my order in), but N2 was just insane. You literally couldn't get to the Goods page for half an hour. Then you had to deal with actually trying to place an order. I'm glad I at least got one night so I can focus on getting the other as opposed to both.

One of the shows in Florida has a public on sale of April 5th, so I am thinking that is when all of them will go on sale. Not sure though.

Not surprised it was MSG that caused problems. I'm sure there were a lot of PJ fans planning on making a trip for those shows the second they were announced.

First time playing a set of shows MSG in 5 years, only the third time ever. I'll be getting N1 tickets by any means necessary.
