Only my third show but I got 15 new songs, unreal!

Absolutely loved this show, so glad to hear everyone else enjoyed it just as much.

Great read thanks for sharing. I visted the Imperial War Museum too on the Tursday morning and found it really interesting. I would recommend it to anyone when they are next visitng Mancs.

Get Well soon!

We enjoyed both nights for different reasons :

Night1 : Fantastic seats (Thanks Ten Club!), Eddie's amazing vocal on opener Release, the fantastically angry 1/2 Full and the party feel for Rockin' In the Free World.
Night2 : The setlist was off the chart, The high energy opening 3 tracks, Go, Animal, and Hail Hail. The gems, Off he goes, Daughter/WMA,Deep, Present Tense, Sonic Reducer and the oh my god, really, track, Hitchhiker.

Just to top it all off on the Thursday afternoon before night 2 I MET MIKE MCCREADY in Vinyl Exchange in Manachester. I shook his hand and we had a chat about his prowess on night 1 at throwing picks far out in the crowd. He was such a nice guy.

Met him in 2010 and just really chilled out. Chatting for ages. Really nice fella!

Great read, thanks - I'm totally up for a 10c gig at Eden, been wishing for that one for some time!
I remember Ed mentioning 'Pete from Cornwall' at Wembley '07, glad to see he's still with them and he always gets a cheer from our small group that are in attendance

Yeah it's cool, that PJ still has that small link with Cornwall... And we certainly gave him another shout out! Was great to spend some time with you over the 2 days bud!

The Rock

Despite Eddie screwing up the words, this version of Rearviewmirror absolutely blew the roof off the place. Never heard anything like it; the crowd erupted for the first notes, and then exploded after the jam when it kicked back in. I got major goosbumps!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh - dammit. Spent an hour in there Thursday, that's bad timing cos it would've been incredible to meet him in person. Would've been worried about shaking his hand tho and wrecking those fingers mind you!!!

Yay for us! Block 115 had a little piece of Cornwall in it too

Would love to see a PJ/EV show at Eden. Going there on Sunday to see Frank Turner/Bellowhead, great venue, hope the rain keeps off.

Sorry that we didn't get to meet Leanne...my fault entirely...made it to the Old Wellington on Thursday evening, but place was packed, making it difficult to locate anyone. Hope you're feeling better now?

Great concert yet again by the boys.

It wasn't all perfect though for me. Was in the seats, block 114 lower tier, decent seats. Thought the sound/mix was horrible. Couldn't hear the drums, it was all a wash of noise for me. I just concentrated on going along with the atmosphere.

Setlist wise, pretty sweet. Could of done without Save You Life Wasted & Inside Job (none of those do anything for me)

Great versions of Off He Goes, Present Tense and Hail Hail though.

That's odd you say that because my girlfriend and I were in block 114 too, Row M seats 4 and 5. We thought the sound was fantastic; we could hear Ed's vocals nice and clear and all the other instruments seemed fine.

Olivavu

Ed complained about the sound there in 2009, the night after at the o2.

I have seen PJ at the MCR Arena three times now and it has been excellent on each occasion.

Same goes for the crowd, so I wasn't sure why Ed was so anti the first night's crowd on the second. Perhaps it was a case of a more subtle 'You're the best crowd ever!' cliche that so many singers reel out to get the crowd going.

Great that there was a Cornish contingent! Can only dream about a show at the Eden Project... that would be something else!

Would be a nightmare to get tickets for though... especially with the new 10C ticket lottery and such a small venue. Everyone would want to go because of the uniqueness of the venue, and the Cornish people would probably end up shut out!

So what if the Cornish people didn't get tickets?

We're all 10C members and have the same entitlement regardless of locality - that's the point of being a member, isn't it?!

pearlaaa

Unforgettable gig!!! what a band<3

Olivavu

Both nights were awesome. Two fantastic setlists and great variety.

Just wish they played Breath! :shock:

It think it was meant in the spirit that bands don't often play this part of the country and travelling to other parts of the country is long, expensive and labourious, as it is for people who live in Scotland etc. (My Manchester trip took 9 hours each way and cost £160)

To be honest, I very much doubt that any Cornish based fans would miss out, other 10C members would have spares and would be open to plight of local fans...plus we can bribe people with pasties, cream teas and cider...or just use local connections to get in the door

I'm just going to say Manchester night 2 was the greatest concert of my entire life.

pac

After that first day, i was expecting a completely different setlist... and completely different it was! got standing tickets thanks to a fellow 10 clubber Fabricio and got in the arena right after the early entry 10clubbers, so i got a good spot, about 5mtrs from the stage, which was awesome.

There were some dickheads in the audience that were hurting people around me that just wanted to enjoy the concert, but oh well, if only the security would care :roll:

Loved Deep (so intense), Not for you, inside job was great and i went crazy with Sonic reducer... got some pretty good pics as well of all the band lined up singing at the same time... it was great.

After two AWESOME and UNFORGETTABLE days in Manchester, just felt a little bad for not being able to see Smile, Footsteps, Sad, Breath, Red Mosquito, In my tree, In hiding, and a few more... but they can't play them all, right? Only if there had been a third concert haha

Didn't get to wave my portuguese flag, but there were two girls with a portugal scarf, so it's ok, the band knows that the portuguese jammers were there!



Next -> Eddie Vedder 30 & 31 of July in London. yeaaaaaaaaahhhhh
