Hi All of you wonderul TC people,

Peter D is my name. I live in Canberra. Thanks for reading. Yep, I'm excited and will be at all 5 Aussie concerts...Perth Nov 14 (fixer), Adelaide Nov 17(fixer), Melbourne Nov 20 (seats with sons), Sydney Nov 22 (seats with sons) and Brisbane Nov 25(fixer).

Now that might not sound much to some of you overseas but this is a big country we have down here. And we don't get to see these guys too often.

Add to that I have have somehow convinced my wife to pack all our gear with our 2 & 5 year old kids....fly 7 cross continent trips (and she's not even into music-I'm going to the concerts on my own! nor are we flushed with cash) !! I'm clearly amazed and psyched.

I've been a fan since '92....PJ sit on my #1 spot by the proverbial mile and have done since I first heard them.

May this leg go off and the outdoor stadium venues pulse Australia into generic adulation. May I somehow find wind of intimate fan based sessions and or see Eddie in the surf at a break along the way.

Thanks for coming gents.......see you soon! Take care and please drop me a line if you get the time.

Sincerely,

Peter D.

    This is great for you and good negotiating with the missus.
    We have come down from the UK, just the 24,000+ mile round trip to see them in Perth, Sydney and Brisi.

    My missus fell asleep on our 24th Wedding annversary at the Verizon show in DC (crap seats in the gods) last year and I have promised her better this time.

    It's our silver Wedding anniversary this year - Eddie please note - make me/her smile!

    May see you at the Brisbane Hotel in Perth on Saturday lunch for the pre meet.

  • Good you Peter for doing all 5, especially with the kids in tow. Perth is the only one I'm not doing & the only reason was that I couldn't get a ticket to the fixer part of field. I've got Fixer GA for Adel, Melb,Syd,Bris

    There's nothing better than following a band around the country. I saw nine U2 shows in 2006 here/NZ & I was so lucky that Pearl Jam played during the day U2 weren't playing in Sydney.

    The best thing about PJ is that you can be almost guarenteed of getting a different setlist each show.

  • Good stuff Peter. I can't think how excited you must be. I'm only managing one show and am just about dying. Although I think if I stayed out of these forums for a while, I may get some relief... ;)
    If I knew then, would I know now?
