    From my shitty seat up in the heavens I finally got to experience total bliss... I had been waiting 18 LONG years to see my favourite band live (cos I was only 12 & 16 last time they were here) and I'm kinda speechless... how do you put down in words the feelings that explode from you when you experience the full blown Pearl Jam experience??? Nothing I say seems to do it justice!! I think also I'm still trying to absorb it all.

    There were so many highlights for me... from Ben & Eddie doing Under Pressure, to Hail Hail, to Doompony's Black (which happens to be my favourite song as well), Unthought Known blew my socks off! Just Breathe was a beautiful moment to share with my man. Red Mosquito rocked out! Love Reign O're Me was A M A Z I N G!!! Really everything was incredible...

    It was hard to go to work today! If I could have afforded it I would have flown down to Chch last night!!!!

    Peace & love to all of you that were there and lets hope the boys are back sooner rather than later!!!!!!!!
    all you need is love, love is all you need

    !

    see the path cut by the moon for you to walk on...just like last time at mt smart in 1998, i watched the moon move across the sky during the gig...it's like he just writes those lyrics for us to have those moments, clever bastard!

    and then he (ed) said that the song made him think of 8 years ago... and before he even said it i knew he was gonna say ...the aurora australis. i saw it too, way back then, and wondered if he was there (HERE) to see it, and he was, and he said so, and, well, goosebumps.

    i just remembered something ed said to us...

    paraphrasing...

    "if you see me on the street call me eddie and i'll buy you a drink.."

    then the crowd screamed. ed laughed and muttered "you'll never see me in the street..."


    :shock:

    Back in the States after Auckland. WOW. Not sure if I saw it anywhere yet, but does anyone know why Eddie was rocking a Walter Payton jersey?

    First time seeing them after years of waiting and I wish I'd taken time off to go to the other shows..what an amazing experience! I can see why people follow them, each show is unique it seems.

    Highlights were Corduroy & Hail Hail for me..two of my favourite songs.

    Moving to UK in January so will hopefully get to see a lot more of them live..O2 arena sometime in March/April I think?

    Does anyone know where to get the Auckland shirts from? Saw it in a previous post and desperately want one!

    Cheers

    That was the funniest bit! I don't know if it will come through on the bootlegs (the mumbled aside bit, I mean). I thought from now on in case I ever meet him on the street, I need to carry the bootleg (so he can remember he said it) and my ticket/wristband to prove that I was there. I mean it's not like it was an open invitation, just specific to those in attendance I reckon...

    people see him on streets all the time i'm sure.

    but none of them are allowed to call him eddie. they have to call him ed. or tedward. or teddie.

    haha what?! You are 100% incorrect. I saw him on the street in Baltimore, called him Steve, and he turned his head. Call him Steve. It works.

    Finally home after a couple of days off in NZ after the shows. For me this was the best show I went to(sydney, Auckland,Christchurch). I was on the rail on Mike side. The whole show was just awesome. Daughter as an opener really worked for me. Black was incredible and Mike and Ed were so pumped. I remember looking around the stadium during Yellow Ledbetter and everyone from the front row to the nosebleed seats in the stands were on their feet going nuts. Best concert ever. Christchurch's encore was out of this world but the whole night in Auckland was the best!! Got a couple of Mike picks too!!
    I can't go the library anymore, everyone STINKS!!

    OK, sorry to gloat. But I'm over the moon with these recent additions to my Ten box set notebook.

    Only problem is I'm going to frame it so I'll never be able to look through it again!

    :D

    Thanks Eddie, Stone and Neil!

    Nice one! I didn't even think to carry stuff like that around with me. But then, I didn't meet any of them so it doesn't matter! Where'd it happen?

    A friend gave it to Neil for me since he was obviously seeing Eddie. So thanks a million Neil, not only were you the highlight of the CHCH show, but you're a bloody nice guy as well.
