    I never said it was better than the Queen/Bowie original. Their rendition is untouchable. This version is pretty awesome though :)

    Sorry....I thought you were saying it was better than the original....which why I was saying noooo... :D

    But that version was pretty good! :)

    If I ever say that the BH version is better than the Queen/Bowie original, I will fly up to Townsville and give you permission to beat the living daylights out of me :lol:
    This tour is gonna be a blast! Gonna be so much fun to hang out with everyone :)

    Someone was saying that the floor plan may be similar to ACDC...

    I was fortunate enough to be in South America when Pearl Jam toured in 2005 and saw them four times. Those shows were general entry. The floor plan was similar to the AC/DC layout with a strip down the middle (though not a raised stage) which Eddie ran down once a show.

    10C members were given early entry and had their own spot on the left side. Security directed everyone else away from that spot. This was done up until the warmup, Mudhoney, took the stage. From then on, it was a free for all, with crowd surfers going over the front railing every minute or so, and many people being pulled out of the crush. At Buenos Aires 2, I went from about six rows deep, to the front railing within 3 songs, and not from pushing (any movements were completely involuntary), just from people in front asking security to pull them out.

    This year's going to be four shows again. I have spares to Sydney and Brisbane if anyone's looking.

    OMG I'm going to die! I will die at a Pearl Jam concert, it will be painful to die from being trampled to death, but hopefully I'll go out listening to Eddie Vedder, and not to my own screams!!!

    That settles it, Ziggy I want in on the Ziggy's Army protection, I will buy you beer, or whatever else takes your fancy!!!!!!

    Hmmmm.....this could be a lucrative little business for myself and my army! :D

    I really really hope we don't have too many tossers wanting to relive their 90s grunge mosh pit days. :roll: I can handle pushing and shit....but I don't want to be concentrating on whether I'm about to get a boot to the head -- I want to be concentrating on the band.

    Hopefully not with Coke.....too sugary.....just stick with straight alcohol from now on, please. And I'm very impressed with your form -- having 2 bourbons before 10.30am....keep up the good work!

    A while back I was speaking to a friend and he found out I was a rabid Pearl Jam fan so he tells me back in 06 he was working as a bouncer for a "certain" club and during the night some guys start streaming in with a few others surrounding them and then he realised one of them was Eddie Vedder. So here he is watching Pearl Jam walking through the doors. Lucky Fucker. Then he tells me "yah I think it was after one of their Sydney shows".. I was so pissed off hahaha I WAS AT THAT FUCKING SHOW!

    Hahaha luckily for me I wasn't at the 2nd show I was only at the 1st and 3rd. It was actually after the 1st Sydney show that he saw them stroll in. Bono wasn't there though my friend would of mentioned him.

    Edit: Plus they weren't in Darling Harbour. Close but not there.

    They had a VIP table in the back of the place for band and friends. I wonder what Ed would have done if he found out that the place he went to puts in place a system of racial profiling at their doors.
