SBE thank you list!

DRS that is bloody awful, I really feel for ya :( I too totally forgot about fakes going around, I saw people outside still looking for spares and I did see a guy offering tout priced tickets but thankfully nobody seemed to be buying from him. Am so gutted for you that you couldn't get in, especially when there were about four girls standing behind us at the show who talked ALL the way through and paid NO attention to the show whatsoever - we assumed they were industry or something who were just there for the craic.

Do you have a ticket for the 02??

I guess a thank you should go to the Irish Fairy himself, Alfred, who allowed me to get to front row, and in process managed to help out JRD, Scratchin and Thierry... *wipes tear of joy*

stop, you're making me all emotional now...! :oops:
i'd say thanks to all the Irish fairies but, like one of Dunk's 'special party' guests, that might get taken the wrong way...

actuall, where IS Al, he's been very quiet since Tuesday night...?

I would also like to thank Nurofen Ibroprofen Gel!

My calfs feel like I have just walked up Everest with a Renault Clio on my back, there was a lot of juming around done, probably out of the 25 tracks, I was jumping up and down for about 20 of them!

Still two days on, my calfs are not having a good time. But walking to work like John Waine is worth it after the euphoria which was SBE!

i know what you mean, but oddly enough only my left calf seems to have been up Everest... and i don't remember doing too much hopping... :?

I know what you mean too! And i wasn't even down the front! My legs were dead yesterday

DRS - sorry to hear about your ticket, that sucks. I must admit I'd pretty much forgotten about the risk of fakes when I was asking around. Did you get in eventually?

DRS that really sucks, I am so sorry about that. Makes you want to scream. Shame you can't find a copper and take him to the tout, but it's not that simple. It ruins the whole night for me when I hear about things like this happening. If that was me I would have hunted the fucker down, took a photo of him and then kept punching him until I was hitting only pavement. A complete wart on the arsehole of humanity are people like that. Hopefully you get to the O2 and the boy play your favourite song for you.

A huge thanks to Blueledbetter for sorting me out at the 11th hour with a ticket, greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did.
Big up to the St Albans massive (esp Last Exit London -Rob) for taking me and Off Ramp (Mark) into their group and being such funny guys. Sorry I lost you straight away Rob but fate had it I ended up two rows in front of Mike, awesome!!

Just back from Oslo watching the football (oh dear) but would like to reiterate the above.

Massive thanks to BlueLedbetter for fixing me up with a ticket. It's fucking great that there are good people out there. Reaffirming.

Thanks also to MINDWIREUK and Lastexitlondon for being awesome company in the queue. We pretty much all went our separate ways once the show started, but will have to hook up again at the MEN next week.

cheers guys.

I'm just glad my ticket went to someone with such good taste! It's also good to hear other people who got in touch with me eventually made it in somehow.

Thank you for Corduroy too. I can't even begin to say how much that rocked. Really wanted to hear that tune. One of the more underrated tracks that but I love it to bits.

I just hope we get Black, Brain of J, Jeremy and Porch at the o2!

Cheers Malc, was great to get in. I wish I knew the guy who sold me a ticket. I literally saw him for a minute then never again. I went up to some moomin at HMV on Oxford Street and vented my anger about the ticket faux pas. Shame he was only about 18 and nearly started crying, made me feel a bit better though!

My mom is now wetting herself in excitement looking forward to Manchester, I phoned her up when Given to Fly, Elderly Woman, Betterman and Ledbetter were on, they're four of her favourite songs!

Alis Grave Nil

I love that your mum likes PJ! How cool is that!! My b/f's dad likes Pearl Jam too, he saw them with my b/f back in the day at Wembley! I think my mum likes PJ too but more for the fact that she likes having a look at Eddie hahahahaha!

Police dont want to know, I got a letter from them saying they are investigating my case but doubt they'll actually do anything. Bet it was the same guy that sold me fake tickets. Makes me so angry :evil:

After reading this thread though, I really wish I'd come up on Tuesday and begged (wearing my princess leia slave bikini!!) instead of sitting at home sulking.

Glad you all had a great time though and I cant wait for the O2

When I was living with them up in Sheffield, we used to have music nights every saturday when we all used to stay in, my mom, my dad and me all played a track on DVD or CD which was quite cool. My mom played a Neil Finn DVD where Jonny Marr was on guitar, it was in Auckland I think. I am just watching it and my mom says 'this track is really good, it must be a b-side of his' so I thought ok fair enough. Then Eddy comes out to sing Parting Ways. I told my mom that was the singer of my favourite band Pearl Jam, she said he's got a great voice and some other things which I can't put on a family forum. I brought my PJ DVDS straight away (in Touring Band you can hardly see his face) and she was hooked ever since.

LOL LOL LOL!!! How cool is your mum!! My mum is cool like that too, she used to be a bit of an old music goer herself, used to do all the Small Faces and TRex gigs etc in East London

My mom has never ever been to a bad gig. Every gig she goes to is 'amazing'. She went to see Keane the other week after they won tickets and said it was 'amazing'. Counting Crows were 'amazing' even though Adam Duritz kept falling over because he was drunk. She would go to see a man with spoons and he would be 'amazing', bless her she gets a tad over excited when she goes to gigs. I think Manchester on Monday may get her to pee her pants somewhat if that's the case.......
Was funny thought when I said I was off to Wembley and I was going standing. Mom said she would come. I said you know it's going to be jumping around, pushing, elbows in faces? She said she could handle it. Eventually my step dad talked her out of it!

That's awesome! She rocks! My mum came with me to a gig for my ex bf's band when they toured with (yuck) Dandy Warhols and my mum was up and about, jumping all over the place, getting tipsy and talking to all the 'famous people' !! And there was me saying 'hmm, think we need to go home now mum!' I think hers is a generational thing - she grew up in the 60s / 70s so has had that whole birth of rock n roll and hippiedom experience, lucky woman!!

so02see

You know what guys, just because these ladies become a Mom it doesn't stop them having their own thing. I'm not a Mom, but I did grow up in the 60's/70's (I'm 46) and on 11th August 1979, 30 years to the day, I was at Led Zepp, Knebworth. I go to at least 20 Rock/Metal gigs a year. It doesn't surprise me that these Moms still have the passion for music (like some of you guys seemed surprised) It surprises me that the same band obsessed, 15 to 30 year old mates I used to see at every gig just don't go anymore - Thats sad!!!
