Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, what??????? I am hyperventilating!

[midwesterner]

Special Guest? At a event called "on the Beach" I hope it is Neil Young with a title like that but since it is in NJ I am thinking Bruce. Looking to change my flight after Boston and maybe cruise down there.

holy crap crap crap! amazing!

i wish our condo wasn't demolished, or we could have had a PRE party get down there!!

I so thrilled they are doing this! Wish I could go, but yay for all of you who can!

[Taterbug]

Very cool that they are doing this. Hopefully the cool musical stylings of MMJ & PHJB will  bring some relief to you east coasters still struggling.  5 shows in 6 days for some of you might cause your heads to explode with sensory overload. Lucky Assholes

Daaaaaamn! Going to be hard to pass this up! Was planning on leaving Boston on January 2nd, but maybe I'll take a little detour through NJ on the way back!

Any word on Roll Call tickets?

Soooo cool the boys and friends are doing this.

I know Penny will be hoping for a duet with Miss Nicole Atkins.

Maybe they'll sing Blister in the Sun - Big Hands, I know you're the one!

Holy balls this is awesome! This event being fairly close to us in Jersey means that the wife & I may be able to pull this off. It would be a sweet consolation prize since we can't make any of the New Years run. Horrrraaayyyyyy!!

[parkervb]

Matt Pinfield MC'ing is pretty cool too.  That dude is a music encyclopedia

[mahg33ta]

$76 for top tix.  Wow too.   Not trying to be a downer, any time another show is announced that's good news.   I'm just wondering if they realize how hard they're pushing the hardcore fanbase!   Not the best timing from a PC-NYE perspective.

Zero chance I can make this, but it sounds like a great time.   I'm already starting my wishlist for a live stream.

snicker snicker...i'm shocked that her hands couldn't hold back the water from the Jersey Shore! (single-HANDED-ly)
-Penny

she's seriously a sweetheart and a really beautiful girl with dainty hands and an awesome voice--loved her at the Levon benefit...Penny is such an asshole sometimes.

You have no idea the lengths to which I'm willing to be pushed, my friend.

Me too!

It is a fundraiser, so I doubt that the band had a huge say in the pricing of tickets.  Just sayin....

Oh, and I love Matt Pinfield too! He was the DJ I listened to as a teen when he was at 106.3 WHTG.  Fantastic!

I want that POSTER!

First time I saw the band/met them was at Bamboozle in 2004 in the parking lot behind the Stone Pony. A perfect night and I remember it more than most shows given my level of intoxication. Late afternoon, sea mist blowing in, the band still had long fucking hair and proclaimed they weren't used to mosh pits opening but lately it seemed to be the case.

Sonic Youth closed out the night. $20. THOSE were the days.

Anyway, do I gotta slug this out with commoners on TM or do we get roll call access tomorrow?

No word on Roll Call specials, though I kinda doubt it for a charity gig like this.  I'm outta da loop these days so I got nothin' for ya.  Can't manage this show, but kudos to all involved to help folks in need down there.  A live feed for $5 would raise some serious cash, me thinks!

I would definitely pay to see this. I wish i could go but i probably can't get a ride and even at my young age I don't think i'm in shape enough to handle MMJ 4 times in two weeks. lol

You know it Christine....still reeling, and had a music boner since I got those texts! fingers crossed we can score tix, cause I'm looking forward to rocking your first show in Asbury with ya.

Same here Trish. I would've loved to host something on LBI.

When I got all of those  texts  today, I couldn't believe it, but after letting it sink in, I wondered why I was surprised. These guys are some of the coolest people out there, and to do this here, so close to home has just blown me away. This seriously choked me up a bit today, and just re-affirmed what I've felt all along about this great band. I didn't think I could love them any more than I do already, but they've now gone into mega legend status in my book!

The PC, and NYE shows we're shaping up to be a much needed break for me from all that has been going on since Sandy hit. Now with this incredible gesture by the band to cap it off, I'm sure that high will be more than enough to carry me through a rebuilding winter.

Hoping, and praying to get a ticket as I wouldn't miss this for anything. Here's hoping for a Roll Call presale, or some big time luck shining down on us all dealing with Ticketmaster.
