    I had the BEST time ever! After what happened with my mother i had to get away and this was the perfect healing i needed. Lisbon II and Milan were the greatest nights of my life!

    How was your tour?

    Ross... a bit out of subject and don't know where you and Naomi live but.... have you seen Helen's thread on AET (I'm coming to London). She'll be here the last week-end of October (long week-end for her) and we're getting together for drinks.. whoever can make it... check it out.

    Now back to the subject..... Can't wait for the pics!

    I'm also happy to hear that the gigs were what you needed. :)

    I'm so glad for you :) was hoping you would have an amazing time and saw from the setlists you got some of the songs you wanted :)

    I saw you pop up in a couple of pics taken by people on tour :D Can't remember who now though :confused:

    I don't think what I did can really count as a tour :o But had an amazing time at both Dublin and Reading.

    Yeah i saw the thread. Emma (Wash) mentioned it to me a week or so ago but i can't make it unfortunately. Made plans a while ago for that weekend, got a couple of Halloween get-togethers organised!

    Check out the first post in the thread...pics are up!

    Awww i definitely think it still counts! You saw two amazing shows!

    Its strange, i didn't get a couple of the songs that i REALLY wanted, such as In My Tree and Nothingman, but i don't feel disappointed at all. I wouldn't change a thing about any of the shows. Each one had something special and unique that i'll never forget. And i felt like my mum was there with me for some songs.

    Pass on my compliments to the photographer :D Some really good ones. Thanks for uploading :)

    She did much better than me took my camera to Dublin but as soon as they came out forgot about it and took NO pictures :o so didn't bother taking my camera to Reading as also knew the crowd would be a little excitable and might make taking pictures difficult :D

    Yeah i know what you mean. We had a little trouble mid-show because the batteries ran out during SOLAT, but luckily Naomi had spares so we avoided disaster lol.

    How was the crowd at Reading? Rough?

    No worries!

    I remember when Ed was on the speakers. He was pretending he was gonna jump and the crowd was willing him to do it. But i saw that crazy look in his eyes, like he had back in 1992. There was something manic in his eyes that just reminded me he hasn't lost any intensity. Amazing stuff.

    :o I'd even recharged 2 spare sets of batteries for Dublin oops :p

    Think it was just a sheer weight of numbers thing. I was about three rows in front of Ed at the start of PJ's set and the crowd surged and started moving a lot. I managed about five songs then moved back to about eight rows in front of Mike where it was much better. Decided to move back rather than go over the top as didn't want to have to miss a couple of songs and have to fight my way forward :D

    There were a lot of people getting pulled out but security was really good.

    Did you watch Reading? Think you can see some of the crowd movement on the footage.

    Yeah i saw the webcast. There wasn't too many crowd shots but from the ones i saw it looked pretty crazy! Seems the UK loves PJ!

    You're experience in the crowd sounds like mine at the Astoria. Started out in front of Ed but during Severed Hand we had to move back. It was too nuts.

    Nice to know security was good somewhere!

    You guys did do a good vanishing act at Astoria. One minute you were there the next ...

    I guess we were lucky got good security at Dublin as well, they were giving us wine gums and bon bons between the support and PJ and you just had to signal you wanted water and they were bringing it over and handing it to us and also as far back as they could reach.

    Were security bad every where you went?

    Hey there ||Release_Me||,

    Nice pics...really great quality.
    I can even see some of my friends on S5000921.jpg
    There is dreadis wrapped in Bosnian flag, siljo with Poland t-shirt, Sintija and Ana. Can't find cropdustress though :)
    And maybe you remember, we met just before the gig, in front of that ticket office for Ten club tickets. Well, cropdustress did most of the talking... :D (waves to crop). Anyway, it was nice meeting you, guys.
  • cropdustresscropdustress Posts: 4,339
    Very nice pics, Ross. Props to you and Naomi.
    Yes, Im the girl who was at the line before the show, we talked briefly, you might remember.
    I got a 10c tic and joined my friends in the line, you were behind me, and then inside I told you I got a wristband, you looked at me a lil confused, haha.
    Anyways, good spots, front row, we were in the U section, thats how I call it, holding on to the fence, nice view also got some pics, but not as good as yours.
    It was an amazing show definitely, glad you guys enjoyed it from the best *seats* in the house :)

    Thanks Naomi! and Ross :) I don't know if you remember the tall guy taking the group picture of us but that turned out to be a fellow Dane, the guy who runs the Danish Footsteps board pearl-jam.dk. I didn't know what he looked like at the time but we met and talked at the airport the day after Milan. They had the same flight home. haha

    I wish I had a picture of the fight afterwards to get a bus to the metro. :)
