After MSG II in 2008, e-gads.. :shock:

Circumstances including a long illness kept me from getting out there to see them and it was worth the wait. Release to open the concert was my wish and it came true. However, the high point for me was Black Diamond! It has been 30 years since I went to my first concert at MSG and of course it was KISS. Nothing like symmetry of hearing one of the first live songs of my life done by the band (with Ace rocking so hard!! on his fender) I have waited so long to see.
Want to thank the 27 year olds on line for beer who were hitting on my wife (she loved it!) and the band for playing the only song she knows (Last Kiss). I appreciate her keeping me company and see me truly happy (This was payback for the Barry Manilow concert I had to go to).

I'll post a second vote for AVG. It's a good program.
(not very exciting).
My first post was in a thread about a company only giving a few weeks maternity leave and the couple couldn't really afford to not work the extra time they thought they would need.

'Well, just joined the club. I'm a very bad fan really, I've listened to PJ music over the years, apart from quite a number of years when there wasn't much opportunity to listen to music really unless it accompanied Thomas the Tank engine, Noddy or The Tweenies, we've also had the Crazy Frog and the High School Musical period. Mind you, for a couple of years early on I did think that PJ had done a song called 'Even Though' (well that's how I was singing it) and until a month or so ago I thought it was a dog on the front of Vs then my husband told me it was a sheep (is it a sheep? not sure yet, could be a poodle?) - I really must pay more attention to the covers. I also hadn't actually seen what the band looked like until maybe 5 years ago (ok so I must have been living in a cave or something).
Anyway, as a PJ music lover in my own uninformed way, I was very excited when I saw the tickets on sale for Manchester - I'd never managed to go previously although my husband had seen them years ago at Finsbury Park supporting Neil Young, family committments etc. So we booked what tickets we could get (ones with lots of exclamation marks beside rear view) - they were also a birthday pressie to me - and waited in anticipation for the day. As it got closer I started to feel a little nervous about it, thinking that perhaps it would be absolute pap, I'd heard they were great live, but hey none of us are getting any younger (me either at 42), maybe I should have just continued listening to the albums.
Then the night came, after work, getting our son sorted and a long drive (I guess not too bad really - shouldn't really complain) and bloody hell it was totally amazing!!! The performance was fantastic, the setlist was just right, a good mix of everything, they played songs I could only have dreamed of seeing live (Sleight of Hand, In Hiding - prob too many to mention). The atmosphere was great. Our seats, which we thought would be crap were actually quite brilliant they were to the left of the stage and really close, so we had a great view of everything.
I guess I would just like to thank the band and everyone there for making it a night that far exceeded my expectations. I've joined the club so I can find out about more tour dates as I definetely would go again, get the bootlegs and perhaps just be a little more enlightened (still unsure about the dog thing). I have one apology to pass on to Eddie, we were standing right over the bands exit at the end of the last encore, which was amazing. But as Eddie left he looked up at me and my husband as we were clapping etc (I do believe we made eye contact - that may have been wishful thinking), but unfortunately I was rather hot and sweaty and I believe I may have dripped sweat onto his head (he probably wouldn't have noticed, but I felt a bit bad about it). So apologies. But once again thank you to all for a truly memorable night and sorry for rambling on.'
Bit of a saga, sorry.
hahahahaha You're so cute, Claire! Even though!

Claire, that is the perfect first post for you.
Here is my very first post, just five months ago. As you know, I am a bit bashful.
The thread was Who Has The Highest # For Getting Boston Tix 2Day:

I'm 285XXX. What exactly does that mean in terms of seats? This is my first time buying through 10C.
Awww... just checked Membership Info and I'm actually 423XXX. Sigh. I'll wave to you from the rafters...

The Unforgettable Fire (song)
The Joshua Tree (can't pick just one)

If your job is in comedy/entertainment, then you should get a raise! You would get an A+
Health Care profession ? ......I'm not sure :think:
so that I can gush about Pearl Jam to people who might actually be interested in hearing & gushing back.
"GUSHINGS"
........But now its all this.
AND I'm noticing I'm getting REAL CLOSE to entering 4 DIGIT STATUS.
Does the club send ya anything for that achievement?
Like, here's your raise cuz we know you ain't getting one elsewhere. :shock:

GUSHINGS
I have often contemplated all the possibe songs that the world has been "gypped" of due to John Lennon's untimely death.
Now that I have "discovered" Pearl Jam (and I'm still wading in, probably at just above knee-level) I don't feel gypped anymore!by DangDang

I didn't get anything sent to me, no. But Stone called me and said, "Congrats on the 1,000th post, Unlost Dogs. Love your work on the Ask The Next Poster A Question thread. I'm a big fan."
I thought that was nice.
but your best post was about puke
"Hi, I'm Joe....I am probably just gonna post here a few times then disappear. I am not sarcastic or cynical, so I will never question anything anybody says here!"
