I invited Ed to the wedding through his Twitter page
Also i think a couple of friends tried to get a message to them

twitter, eh ?

i've just thought of the 5 tracks i'd love to hear PJ play and now have a cunning plan to get them played... unfortunately i think one or two other people might have the same idea...

i don't think that's going to work again...

congrats!!

Thanks.
I think friends were pestering them too trying to get messages to the band.
Whatever it was, it worked and made our wedding day even more special.

Fantastic show, great set list, happy eddie, band on fire, and great crowd...

Definitely topped Dublin, although that was also class.

Few observations

Eddies security guy is a class act
pj fans are fucking great, I met some extremely nice people
general admission rocks

oh met Eddie afterwards - he continues to be a total legend to me, what a guy, and the bands crew were super nice too

great great day and further proof that no one does this better

Plankton

Awesome, how'd you meet Eddie?


Was an amazing show, my favourite so far I think. Great crowd and the band were great - cool to see how happy they were, seeing Jeff and Stone laughing and stuff at the end. Awesome set too.

I do believe we were right next to you! Wasn't until we were back at car I thought the guy asking for come back might have been you. Ed was great, shame he didn't have longer to stick around. They were obviously in a hurry to leave so it was great Ed made the time to say hello!

Belfast is up there in my top 10... Mazal Tov Eddie, other guy who's getting married and Brendan, a night full of happy occasions... Thanks so much for Tremor, the band and - you know who you are I'll look back on this night with love forever.

Yummy champaighn slurp...

its_ok

Fantastic show wasnt it?!! So much better than Dublin. I, like any other No Code junkie, could have gone home happy just after opening Sometimes

Great to see Tremor Christ, Low Light, No Way, Present Tense, RVM, SOLAT, Leash!! And at my ninth show I heard Jeremy for the first time, first time hearing a song is always special, specially a classic like that!

I also liked the venue, the O2 in Dublin was too new and tidy, I like the arenas a little more old school.

Thanks to all the great people following this band, I always meet so many incredibly nice people at the shows!

pdalowsky

Wow, did you post this on Fbook too? if so now i know who you are and am kicking myself we didnt get to say hello!!!!

That was great when everyone wished Brendan a happy birthday and that playing Amongst The Waves for the newly married couple. That was so sweet.

It was me and the wife Eddie dedicated Amongst the Waves to in Belfast on Wednesday night which was our wedding night.Absolutely amazing.Have been a fan from the beginning and been to a few shows(a couple in Dublin and Verona 2006) but never EVER thought anything like that would happen on Wednesday night.
Still buzzing

what a gig!, what a day! what a night!, tremor christ and SOLAT.......splendid

i'm very proud to have been part of the wedding party for my good friends Colin and Aisling Cardy

it doesn't seem like nearly 20 years since we stood as teenagers drinking carry outs on the shores of Belfast Lough, singing songs from Ten, how times have changed.

i think at this point Colin you should apologise to Ed and the ten club for the torrent of emails and tweets they are about to receive with requests

dimitrispearljam

btw from 4 shows so far this was the best by far..till tomorrow

Chazz

Dublin was great, but Belfast was just asolutely f*cking-fantastic

When the second song is Do The Evolution, you know its gonna be a good show and it SO was.

Couldn't believe I got to hear Tremor Christ and No Way :shock: (took me ages to realise what they were playing when No Way started...doh :oops: )

Other highlights...
Great version of Jeremy, can't understand why they don't play it more often
Full Save it for Later tag
The wedding story
Ed's love story
BoB Happy Birthday
The rest of the setlist.....

The sound was perfect and it was such good fun dancing 'round (sometimes like a loon) with some new and some newish friends :wave:

(Only minor disappointment was the lack of variation in the Backspacer songs, saw 3 shows (Dublin, Belfast, London) and they played the same 5 BS songs)

Hey mate, thought i'd say hello. I sat diagonally across from you on the train journey to Belfast with my mate (The 2 scottish guys!). It's cool to chat to other fans.

I got my wee boy the "I got shit" babygrow, so he had that on when I got back home on Thursday. A wee rocker in the making!

I missed out on getting the poster from the Belfast gig, but hoping that they will be available on the 10c store after the tour finishes.

Yeah that was my 7th show and definitely one of my favorites. The whole band were on fire. I thought the setlist ran really well compared to Dublin which was a bit stop start. Particular highlight was Mike jamming with Boon on Crazy Mary. I think you were just in front of me in the crowd on that side eh?

I said to my wife that I met a guy who was there with his wife and wee boy which was maybe a mistake as she's wanting to come on the next trip!

Yep, that's me! Was in a world if my own after speaking to Ed!

a little remaining of this awsome concert

Post to Chris - I was stuck up in a seat near the back but that didn't stop me having a grand time! Even though I'm a Ten Club member, I had to work hard to persuade the fiancee to come, so had to settle for a seat ... didn't stop me though! I worried for about the first 3 minutes about the peeps behind me, but after that I was on my feet ... remaining seated for 3 minutes was unnatural! Utterly brilliant show! Just fantastic, uplifting, funny, just about perfect! Always said I'd die happy if I heard Present Tense live, and there it was ... SOLAT, Leash, Jeremy, RVM ... as good as it gets!

Thats awesome, man. Something to remember forever! We were at the Dublin and Belfast gigs and Belfast was definitely the highlight, just hearing No Way and Present Tense made it for me. Congrats to you and your good lady

Jimmy Cashew

Where to start. We took a walk to the venue about 2.45 to see what was happening and it seems we missed the band by a few minutes, nevermind.

We had TC seated tickets for this one and when I picked them up I saw EAST UPPER TIER. My heart sank thinking they would be nosebleeds but when we got in I found our seats to be awesome, right over where the band came out and within screaming distance of Mike McFuckin'Cready (was was on fire).

A few beers so loosen the voice box and it was time for the show, the place was packed out. For some reason both pairs of seats either side us weren't taken, although some other (very nice) guys sat on one side but we had loads of room to rock out. The guy below me with his girlfriend was insane, he was loving every minute and he should, it was amazing.

Opening with Sometimes was fantastic, infact the whole set was fantastic, just wish I was still there, Jeremy was awesome, Leash was awesome, everything was brilliant, even Brendons 50th birthday bit! Just want to say thanks to all the people I met, sorry to the girl for my buddy knocking over your drinks (hope you got a few back!)

tremor christ was fantastic - so good to hear that in belfast - the rest of the show was amazing too - def my fav show - up there with the o2 in london last year

anyway - next year - Bristol???

Chazz

Hey Dylan, great to see you again, sorry we didn't manage to catch up with Caroline.......

What a bloody fantastic show Belfast was well done again on your excellent suggestion to Mr Cameron in that lift!!

I would LOVE to see PJ in Bristol (can't see it happening though :( )

How long after the gig does it usually take for the bootleg to come out??

Last year the European bootlegs took longer to come out than the states, probably for contractual reasons in different countries etc. In any case I suspect you'll wait as long as it takes Colin - apart from the band, you were the other stars of the show

TopBombing

What a couple of days they were last week.

Dublin was great but the setlist in Belfast blew Dublin away IMO.

Superb.

Agree here. Of the 3 shows I did last week, Belfast was the best for me (the others were amazing too, of course)!

Paradajzar

For me too, Dublin was already perfect.....but Belfast probably even better.....i was so close to the stage...crassssyyy

the only bad thing was.....so many retards that wanted to squeeze in infront of us(as it was already packed).....with beers spilling .....

but one guy topped it all....i couldnt belive it.....he came out of nowhere...stand just on my left...with a beer, completly drunk....I guess he didnt even know any PJ songs.....he just screamed few times.....bettermaaaaaaaaan.......he was making me so fucking nervous......and then it happened....just felt something is spilling on my leg....i looked at the guy, if he is spilling his beer, but the beer looked ok....and then i see, mofo is pissing on my feet and shoes.....I wanted to kick him....but i just screamed at him, and then he ran away......I wish we dont have such jerks in the crowd.....wtf is the point getting to front row if you dont know the band?????

But ok...i dont care.....belfast was insane....

cheers
