Think my comments have been taken out of context! I certainly didn't want to offend anybody! Just there was a 'gal' in front of me who kept putting make-up on???
Okay, lets call a truce once_divided, I still too happy after the gig to hold grudges although I can't yet bring myself to listen to PJ -- been singing along to Badmotorfinger and Dirt all night. Revisiting the good 'ole Grunge era
I think the post-gig blues have set in, but am anxiously waiting for my little brother's report from PJ's festival performance in Germany, as he has followed them over.
"Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he dont know, so he chases them away, yeah...
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away...him away, him away..."

Why cant you listen to PJ? Tho I can totally inderstnad why your listening to the other stuff too. I cant take Pj off, I have one song after another going through my head trying to relive the whole thing but having a terrible memory. I realy dont want this to fade, I need the Boot.

Oh those blues, the fact that we have no idea when we might get to see them again, it's hard to bear. Just listening to tracks is making me teary.

oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
What a fuckin awesome setlist. No Even Flow? When is the last time that has happened. Would have loved to have been at this one.
I believe it was Cleveland 06 and I was there too. So really, all you Evenflow haters should pay my travel expenses and tickets and take me to as many shows as you can.
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
That was such a good night, a real fans show! thouroughly enjoyred every song they played. bloody long road had me in tears before the show really started. i was so happy to hear newer material live...
i must have been the only fan at the wembley gig who could not clap, i broke my wrist 24 hourse earlier. in pain i left home for the gig.
painkillers, man, you don't need em if you go watch and listen to this band. my first ever gig, it was awesome. what a band!
pj fans are something else, so friendly and kind. my daughter lives in seattle and has never seen pj, i now have one up on her and have told her she has musical heaven right on her doorstep, if only i can convince her to enter.
what is is with seattle? from hendrix to pj, the city rocks. thank you band for a great gig, england and the world loves you.

I've had to get rid of my 10c extra so I posted an announcement here. Face value, of course. 4 people answered. I committed the ticket to this guy... tom. PJ21 or something like that. He asked first. Big mistake. Always go for the people with the most posts. I also got the numbers of the other three in case the deal fell through. We agree with Tom two days before the gig that we'd talk the day of the gig between 3 and 4, as that was the time I was expecting to arrive at the arena. I give him my number, he gives me his. So I call Tom at 3. No answer. I text him. No answer. I text him again, no answer. I call again (from my US cell phone, roaming charges of one buck per minute). I finally find him at 5:30. At first he doesn't even understand who I am and then he said "oh that... I can't make it anymore". I just said "bye" but what I really wanted to say (Tom, this is for you if you are reading) was: fuck you tom, you inconsiderate asshole. Couldn't you fucking call me or pm me you piece of shit? I tried calling the other numbers, left messages to no avail.
A few minutes later a "tout" walks by looking for spares. I say I have one, ask for the 45 pounds it costs, he gives me 30. I would not have done it but I really didn't want to remain with the ticket unsold. After my efforts on the board and in the line I have no qualms. Sure I hate scalpers, but stupid inconsiderate fans are just as bad.
Man I'm chatty tonight

I was next to you when you threw the stuffed animal at Ed,didn't expect him to shove it down his pants tho.

I have never experienced something that amazing and moving at a gig before, simply beautifully incredible.
I could not stop smiling or singing, one of the best experiences of my life.

In case anyone is really interested, my brother and I were able to hear the soundcheck, so for us freaks who must know all about a show, the songs they soundchecked in full were:
Marker in the Sand
Ghost
Nothing as it seems
Parachutes
For me this was one of the most awesome PJ gigs I've been to, I've seen them at their worst and IMHO tonight, there best. It was nice to not hear the same songs, tonight was uplifting and made me smile and cry all at once:D
i am envious of this setlist and the dusseldorf (sp) setlist
finally ed gets off his ass and mixes it up (with less avacado)
it's been a while since the show actually. but I only now have time to post anything.
loved, loved, loved the show. amazing setlist.. but unfortunately for the casual fans, it was definitely a fan club show.
nonetheless, good good times. I was glad to notice that the floor (even at the quite front) wasn't as squishy as I had feared earlier.
I have to say that I did enjoy the Düsseldorf show better.. not only because I made to the 2nd row, although that played a large part.
I'm very tired now so I'm gonna have to post more later.

OMG, I'm in this photo, in the green cardigan in between the fire escape doors checking out the soundcheck
after I have survived Dusseldorf as well... wanted to let everyone who was in Wembley know that I had a great time in the pitch with all the other 10clubbers!
They should have done that in Dusseldorf as well, for it would have kept out those people who just stand still and only start moving when a Ten-Song is played, jeesh...
The setlist just makes me cry still: Crazy Mary is ALWAYS a knockout, just like Inside Job (Mike is just a genuis!) or Do the Evolution And it was great to hear Present tense again! It has been a while...
'though i am a bit disappointed that they didn't play No Way - AGAIN. Will they ever play that again? I am almost ready to make a request poster...
sighs...
Well what can I say, what an amazing show, was my daughters first ever concert and shes got the bug, saving up for going to America when they tour there next.
Must say though we got 10c tickets and queued from 11.30 and when the show started we were pushed around alot, didnt expect such a rough moshpit at a pj concert, what happened to pj love does it not exist in the first few rows, we then had to battle our way further back, which really dissapointed my daughter as she wanted to give ed a sign she made, ta to the guys that tried to get it to them, well she put it under the bed for next time.
Aside from that its rather depressing now its over, it was the most amazing experience of my life.
hows life treating u? better yet, how r u treating life?
I just read through the whole thread and I think everything's been said by now, but whatever. Wembley was The Greatest Night ever, thanks to not only the band but also to all of you who were there. The atmosphere was awesome. And the setlist was very, very good... Long Road, Faithful, Present Tense, Grievance, Immortality, I Got Shit, Crazy Mary, Inside Job and Indifference all during the same night!! I was expecting a special show with the 10C floor and all - and certainly wasn't disappointed. The acoustics was poor? It might have been, but seriously I didn't even notice that..
Everyone thought the band would start with Release, but Long Road was a perfect opener. After hearing it live I love the song even more. And Down, I've never been a big fan of that song until Wembley, now I listen to it all the time.

Brings it all back. So vividly. The pit, losing control. Brilliant!

But OH MY GOD! What an amazing show this was! I thought Release would open, but hearing the opening notes of Long Road was just magical.
Stunning show, i'll post more when i'm back home.
