I was lucky enough to be at all 3 Broome shows. They played 43 songs on the second night.

I got to see them open with Who You Are 12 times, and close with Porch 8 times. The 3 Broome shows, and 3 Auckland shows were standouts. The Broome crowd, while very small (the show was played in the local pub) was loud, and got right into the show. I had 10C tickets for all 3 Broome shows, and i got front row center, right next to the drunk who was there when the bar opened in the morning.

My home city of Townsville, where they kicked off the tour was amazing. They played at the Civic Theatre, in front of only 1,100 fans, and i had front row, right in front of Mike. When they busted out WMA after No Way i couldn't fuckin' believe it.

If you listen to the boot, you can hear Ed announce me playing drums during RITFW, that was around the same time Matt was being taught how to play a Didgeridoo on side stage.

Federico

could I have some of what you are smoking, please?

thanks

Too bad you missed the show in Wilcannia. That was just them playing under a tree to about 10 people.

Yeah, it's the only bootleg i don't have, it's not an official tour show. They gave tickets away on the radio for that one.

bazzer

12 shows in NZ? That's what I'm talking about. I think they'd better do something like that to make up for skipping us for over 10 years!

You've obviously got far too much spare time and disposable income.

You lucky, lucky thing.

Bangladesh was lucky, PJ was in and out quickly, missed the rains by about a day.

Poor Ethiopians, first they got screwed when Americans and Europeans scooped up all the 10C tickets, then they get the shows cancelled last minute due to 47 inches of rain.
