    Great gig, band were in a great mood. Ed signed a girls 'solat' poster, nice touch. Also I got matts drum stick. Pretty good setlist. Hoping for pretty different set tomorrow.

    Just back...brilliant show. And far better than I expected for the first of a tour. Band were on fire.

    They opened with Release....for me, everything after that was just gravy. THAT made the night. It was what I was hoping for for months. Then following it up with Evolution, Corduroy and Fixer? Easily the best start to a PJ show I've personally attended.

    One or two nice surprises of sorts....Pilate was great. Half Full was cool to hear, was never one of my favourites, but nice touch by Ed the end reflecting the light off his guitar....cool effect. Never saw Jeremy before live, so happy with that. And Porch was stunning. As was State Of Love & Trust.

    Yeah, the Come Back dedication was a nice touch too....but I still don't like the song. And seeing it live here didn't really change my mind. Insignificance....grand but again never a favourite. But these two were the only ones that didn't completely excite me....everything else was top notch.

    Overall, really happy. Going tomorrow aswell, so will be able to compare. Nothing from No Code tonight, so really hope they throw something in on the second night.

    No, he didn't mention the guy by name....just pointed him out in the crowd and and said something to the effect that "...this song is a dedication for this guy here....can't remember if you said you were coming tomorrow night...but we'll do it now just in case something terrible happens....you never know, life is fragile so we'll play it now" words to that effect anyway.

    I enjoyed the show, and the band was in great form for the first show of the tour. The setlist was a bit short, and it felt short in person.

    I was a little bit disappointed in the crowd, to be honest. In the States, we hear about these legendary European crowds all the time. This crowd was solid, and would be on par with a Boston or Philly crowd, for instance, but didn't blow me away.

    7th time seeing PJ and the best yet. From start to finish, they were incredible. Really on fire. Release was beautiful, the only way to start the tour! Ending of Immortlaity was out of this world. Even Flow seemed to go on forever and was fantastic. Pilate - wow that just sounded different, really fucking good and getting Half Full made my night. Porch, fuck that did go on forever. Crazy jam by the guys. Mike and Ed worked the crowd all night, getting right up up to the ones at the front. During Porch Ed even took a camera from someone in the crowd, took of pic of them and gave it them back. And then there's Come Back for Paul. Was made up for him, saw him after the show. He's happy!

    I'm reading comments by people that weren't there that it was a short set. Fuck that. You weren't there, it was amazing. 26 songs? Not a bad way to start the tour.

    Round 2 tomorrow :D
