    I was there. It was my first show. Didn't lose a shoe but was pretty deep and suctioned in the mud. Tried jumping up and down but no luck. Was a pretty impressionable show that lead to this little obsession of mine :).

    I wish. My parents thought I was too young to go (14). I almost hitch-hiked up there.
    Made a friend later down the road who had a very well-made VHS of the show. Almost like being there. Not really.

    yeah, I have that vhs, and later someone also gave me a copy on dvd with menus and chapters and the whole bit. when I saw that VHS on ebay, I freaked out. I absolutely had to have it.

    all I need now is artwork for the dvd case.

    I was there, don't remember it all that well. I was 18 and it was my first PJ show. I've seen them I think 5 times now. Love them.

    i wasnt, but its a great proshot vid
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    I was there. First PJ show. I drove from Regina with 3 friends. It was wet, sweaty and amazing. I bought 4 shirts and i still have the wrist band (ticket) and review from the Winnipeg paper the next day.

    One of the things i remember was that PJ came on late and RATM's first album was played in it's entirety before they they hit the stage. Another moment that sticks in my mind was hearing the new songs before the album came out. amazing.
    You are obviously from the sticks if you call it a hoodie! Us sophisticated city folk call it a bunnyhug!

    Oh my god. Can you scan that review and email it to me?

    Wasn't there, but there's a pretty good proshot bootleg out there, so I've seen the bootleg video a bunch of times (one of my favourites). Eddie looks like he's had a few to drink, which makes it pretty fun, plus a roaring version of Sonic Reducer! :)
