    Doompony,

    I did all 5 Aussie shows but couldn't talk my non-musical wife into NZ. I have just lived Auckland vicariously through your fantasic post and experience.

    Thanks and congrats!

    Why such a crowd crush in NZ?
    Is it the long wait?
    In Aus it was okay.

    Yeah I heard it, very loud considering how far back this was recorded lol
    I saw the video before, didn't think it'd be that one due to the distance from the front lol

    it was comforting to know that i was sharing space in a crowd with some of the people here - hi joewalshdc, see you when tom mcrae comes huh? - anna, danny... whoever...
    so
    in 95 i wrote a fanview of the second supertop gig. i wrote it in longhand, took a bromide of it surrounded by gig souvenirs - a packet ofoddfellows, a ticket, a vitalogy cassette - and posted it to a couple of friends. posted, that is, in an envelope with a stamp on it.
    in 98 i wrote two fanviews, one of welli, one of auckland, and sent them to kat and sea to put on synergy, which they did. i even got a nice reply from one of them -was it kat or sea i don't remember. anyway i don't think they exist anymore which is kinda sad. history.
    yesterday i wrote a fanview of friday night on pages torn from my sons drawing book while travelling from ak to taupo. i may post it yet. but hey i only just got home.
    i'll tell you what my husband said at the end of the gig, and he is not the uber-fan that i suspect i may be, but went to those three previous gigs with me...
    "well then. we don't need to ever see another gig. that was like the perfect barrel. i wish we were going to northland tomorrow, i REALLY need to surf now."

    I think your scream did more damage to peoples hearing than the band :lol:

    Wow, only just getting onto the forums now, so exciting to see these setlists in writing and to realise...fuckin epic concerts.

    Faithful by far my high point of the auckland concert. Anyone who was alarmed by the pregnant lady bawling her eyes out, never fear, I was fine in the end. And thanks to everyone around me for making sure I had lots of space and being considerate to my condition - I wasn't expecting it.

    I was on mikes side, right up the front, let me just say right now THANK YOU for splitting the field in Auckland, it meant I was able to get an amazing view and be right up the front whilst not feeling like I was endangering anyone unborn! I came so close to getting a pick from Mike but the security guard couldn't understand what I was saying...even when the chick next to me did an air guitar to try and explain he didn't get it...but better than a pick I got a smile and a wave from that legendary guitar maestro himself (altho we all probably think they were lookin at us, huh? But he was I tells ya) seeing him so close doing that epic solo out on the speaker right in front of me... happy tope

    Was VERY happy for Doompony when I heard Black come on! Then when I seen Ed and the Banner even better. I saw a bundle being thrown up next and thought it was Mr Snuggleton but it was a silver fern flag.

    Second highlight was Neil Liam and Ed doing Love not given lightly. Glad to hear Ed acknowledging several times the 11 year absence. And Johnny Guitar ROCKED!!

    I will remember both the aucks and ch ch concert for a long time. Thanks for making the trip down here, everyone involved. And Ed did say last night at the christchurch gig, they'll be back in one year, two tops. I intend to hold them to that...
