*** Ed Tour - Perth Fanviews Here 04/01/11 ***

eV told the story of Luke and how he got his name, eV's famous ukulele, Luke, was named after the first Aussie he met in Australia, Luke Longley the 7ft b baller, whom he met in Fremantle. Felt his uke was so small, naming him after Luke gave the uke something to strive for. Also said that Luke has done so many times over.
whistling, eV asked for everyone to chill on the whistling that after years of standing next to McCready's amps, the whistling went from his ears to his balls, and not in a good way.

great show, got immortality, long road, crazy mary, and unthought known (second time), only missed out on Santa Cruz, but i wasn't going to yell out like the rest of the idiots, lol

worth the trip, thank you Perth, eV especially for sharing your wine it was delicious, and Luke.

had to run to my room to take care of some work for what I thought was a moment, but over an hour later I had just finished, so it sucked that I missed out on saying good bye to some great WA's. Will definitely shoot for returning to see PJ in Perth their next visit to the continent, and hope that it will be soon.

Oh my goodness....what a perfect night. Musical utopia personified.

Sincere, honest, haunting, familiar (yet), mesmerizing, spellbinding, awesome.

Thank you Eddie for giving us two wonderful nights with yourself.

For me its hard to extract highlights as i was on a high all night (both nights). But "Porch" was just awesome, played with the energy of the original and it had the crowd on its feet both nights. "The End" had me in a trance (played on the first night)...the acoustics of the room making that a crystal clear perfect rendition. And...the obscure "Arc" (reminiscent of 'The Wolf' from the Into The Wild soundrack) was i think in all honesty the most amazing experience i have ever had at a live gig, ever. A darkened stage, live layering of howls, chants, bellows and crys just had me (and the whole audience) completely and utterly awestruck. THAT was the epitomy for me. An absolutely religious experience, and i am not religious! I struggle to find the words to describe the two Perth evenings. Musical utopia personified. Cheers Eddie!

Back to my tree...

Lucky you...damn I hung around for a while but gave up in the end...where did you meet him? Was there much of a crowd?

Either way I'm stoked with a pick and the wine bottle

i can easily say this show was one of the greatest experiences of my life! it all started when i opened the envelope and saw we had row BB!!!!! i've been front row at 3 pj gigs before through the years (rome '93, perth '09 and berlin '10), but this was the closest i've ever seen Ed!!!
since we're talking of kids, i took my 12 year old nephew and he loved it! especially when Ed gave him the guitar pick at the end!
i went to this gig feeling blessed that i had the chance to go, since we nearly missed out, and thinking that i didn't care which songs he was going to play...but at the back of my mind i had "Crazy Mary" lingering coz i had never heard it live and i love it, so immagine when i heard that opening Am chord!!!! definitely one of my highlights!
someone before said Arc was a religious experience, i couldn't agree more...i thought i reached the nirvana! i had goose bumps all over...
i could keep writing all night, but for those of you that where there you know how amazing it was and for those who weren't there no words could describe the gig well enough to give you a taste of it!
thank you so much Eddie. come back ( ). I LOVE YOU!!!!

What a mind blowing earth moving experience Friday night was.

I lost my 18 year old cousin in a car accident 3 days before the last PJ concert in Perth. She was meant to come to the concert with me for my birthday the day after the gig. On Friday I took her mum, my mum and her boyfriend and without a doubt she was there with us. We all had tears in our eyes from start to finish.

I came back down to earth with a crash on Saturday....all can think is that nothing ever has topped that experience, and fear nothing ever will.

Thankyou Mr Eddie Vedder for a night I will never forget.

I had to read it just to work out what that meant,

Sounds like another great show. Just wondered if those of you that saw 6 shows feel a little bit guilty that some 10C members missed out on tickets and couldn't get public tickets. Tix went for as much as $500 on ebay, so it wasn't as if you could just go out and buy them. Good luck to you if you got to go to this many shows - obviously it is a sellers market - but there are real fans that missed out through no fault of their own. I was lucky enough to go to Melb 2 and have a kickass repo of the show. Its just that I know of quite a few people that wanted to go that couldn't. Maybe 10C could make an effort for once to fairly distribute the tickets. Nothing shits me more than trying to by tickets from the US from assholes that never had any intention to go to the shows. :evil:

In a way i feel a little guilty...but its more the fact that these bogans who know like betterman and or alive go to shows and yell out stupid shit when real fans miss out.... I helped a couple people get last minute tickets for a couple shows...but as it is there is always someone who is going to miss out regardless and there are always going to be scalpers....just the way the world works sometimes :(

TB180644

I guess you're right, despite a very good crowd in Melbourne the bogan factor was still aparrent - as if Eddie cares what you call out, it's his show and I'm sure the setlist would not change no matter what the audience ask for. I guess I'm more disappointed with 10C than any thing else, real fans miss out and dickheads get in. At Melb 2 I saw a kid about 10 years old with his dad playing his DS most of the way through the show. I'm sure his ticket could have been better used. I've been a 10 C member for 15 years and missed out on the pre sale - that shits me!

Atleast our 10c presale wasnt as bad as the US one... demand > supply and is usually never equal.. nothing more can do about it now though.. just have the memories
