Needless to say, I LOVED IT!!! someone before me already said, they just keep getting better! i was front row in the middle and it was amazing! i got Ed's pic, took some cool photos...anyway, other people have said it all before. what i have to had is that i think the 10C community is amazing. my sister and i had 10C tix and a friend of ours had general one, so we lined up together knowing that once we got in we were going to be separeted and meet up again at the end. but we met some great guys in the line and stared chatting and stuff and they had 2 spare 10C tix they were trying to sell and since they couldn't they ended up giving one to my friend with the wristband! she was on top of the world!!! so if you're out there reading this you know who you are, THANKS WITH ALL MY HEART! i, and my sis and my friend, will never forget it.

Oh man, the show on Saturday was so fucking awesome that now I'm back home, suffering from severe post concert depression.

Sounds like you had a great one Paul!

I was talking about their tour in '95, where you were frisked and fully checked over for recording equipment and cameras... nowadays you can take in digital cameras no problem

they grabbed my nuts in 98.

Yikes! I didn't bother with the camera or recording equipment in '98. Now that I think of it... it's funny that it doesn't matter the gender of the security guard... they'll frisk you whether you're male or female in Australia... over here, you get moved to a separate line so females only get frisked by female security etc.

Man, I wish I was down there right now... outside shows, in the warmth... nice!

BTW Paul, loved the story about your stepson... I love hearing stuff like this, glad he had such a great experience

What sort of stadium was it for Perth?? open oval arena or closed indoor stadium... Hoping for open roof at Melb but unlikely as storms are forecast...

OMG!!! TRULY AWESOME SHOW!!!! This was fantastic,....the energy from the band was outstanding, they gave it their all, and the crowd responded - there were a couple of idiots behind us pushing and what not, but we were on the barricade, so at least had somthing to lean against.....Highlights for me def. include GARDEN, I AM MINE, GIVEN TO FLY, DO THE EVOLUTION............This was a fantastic night, and the boys should be proud, but so should Perth....Generally well behaved despite the beer and sun, and lots of people were looking out for others...the guy and his girlfriend behind us were really nice, and overally the whole thing WENT OFF!!!!!!! I so wish I was going to more shows!!!!!

Paul - that's so awesome about your stepson!!! I saw you lift him up, and I saw the look on his face- What a priceless moment!!!!! He will have that memory forever, and I'm sure it will set him off on a lifelong love of the band!!!! I saw you in the crowd and recognised you - wasn't sure if you recognised me, sorry we didn't get to meet at the Brissy -
BUt how AWESOME was the show!???????!!!!! I am still buzzing.......Unthought Known was fantastic, and I LOVED that they opened with Breakerfall....really set the mood for the whole night, and even with the lights on...they were still going strong, and I think Ed must have enjoyed being able to see the whole crowd rocking out with all the stadium lights on.....

Fantastic - THANK YOU SO MUCH PEARL JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Sarah got a cool photo of u guys will email it when I get back from Adelaide..
was good to meet ya...

Good to meet you guys too - although I will admit - I was on such a high (all day!!! hehe), that on the train home my friend and I were trying to remember people's names - couldn't even recall usernames, let alone REAL ones!!!! I had an awesome time though, as much in the queue as the show itself!!! Enjoy Adelaide!!!

It pays to be in the 10C, as they dominate the front. Sure, other people can try and get close but I don't know too many 10 clubbers that will sacrafice their spot. I know I didnt leave to go to the loo ...

Yeah who was the guy at the front that sat the cup of wee on the other side of the side barrier on the step lucky that wasnt the one that Ed stood on when he ran down the barrier...
saw another cup of wee on the way out.... :(

How disgusting was that?! And he did it with no shame or anything - just sort of leaned through the crowd and plonked the cup down on the step!!!! SO gross!!!! And It WAS the one Ed stood on - knocked it right over - hopefully he had DOcs on and not Converse.. imagine that wee soaking into a good pair of Chucks!!!???!!

Tone

ummmm.... eeewwwwwww!!!! :shock:

Im really hoping they dont close the roof. A bit of rain never hurt anyone...... and none of the other venues have a roof. They better keep it open :twisted:

Aussie Jam

Thanks for all the reviews guys,

Didnt think it was possible but now i'm even more amped to see them in Melbourne on friday!

I'm from Perth, but on my Honeymoon in Tassie - had to cut the honeymoon a day short to see them in melbourne hehe.

Glad to hear they're still numero uno!

so long as there isnt any heavy rain, they will keep the roof open at etihad stadium. i was there for green day a few years back and the roof was open and it rained during the second half of the set.

I rang Chugg today, they said it was likely the roof would be closed on Friday, but that it wasn't 100% definite..

bring on Melbourne! Will be my 7th PJ gig, and it sounds like it is going to be one of the best!
Thanks for all of the tips... looks like having a 10C ticket will ensure a good spot. Thank fuck I am a tall chick with big guns... NO ONE is going to mess with me and make me give up my spot! :evil:

Anyone care to comment on what security are like? I am hoping they are not dickheads... I was kicked out of the first Melbourne concert in '95 and I still have nightmares about it.... bloody got kicked out just before Dave Grohl came on... still makes my blood boil after 14 years later!!! I still remember what the security guard said as he dragged me our by my ear... "Eddie doesn't really care about you guys, it's all an act, he would spit on you if he could, you are all a bunch of little dickheads" Can you belive that?!?!?!

Felt like I got some revenge when they fired the security the night after though
I cried whilst listening to Eddie's "NW" speech on Triple J...

Paul Andrews

Security in Perth was very good - well the guys around us were.
