Meeting the boys after a letterman taping and getting to hand Ed some bad brains vinyls. Never forgot what he said to me,"I "fucken" really appreciate this."(in his real low voice), arm around my shoulder. Pretty much that and scoring front row tix to his upper Darby show!!! Thanx again "J"!!!
Shit how can I forgot San Fran!!! Met mikee twice at the bill graham shows. Once in china town and the second at haight/asbury street! My boy smitty and I always smile when we think about those shows! Sneaking into the friends and family section all 3 nights and sitting by booms family!!!

hearing them open with release at manchester one. I had waited so long to see them, and stupid life always interfered, and I wanted this to be my first ever live PJ song and it happened.
pretty much the whole amsterdam2 show. hearing those songs, especially footsteps and crown of thorns, with really awesome people around me. knowing it was a special night and sharing the specialness with new friends.
and yeah, of course meeting mike on the train to berlin, and eddie after his solo shows. discovering that my music heroes are very nice people who are genuinely interested in their fans was awesome. I mean I suspected that they were, but now I have proof.
Hmmmm was it Vegas 2000? Nope. Seattle 1 and 2 in 2000? Nope. Was it going to all 3 Gorge shows in 05 and 06? Nope. I think it was going to Benaroya Hall in 2003 and scoring the box set a few months later, and meeting Eddie a few times over the years. Now I'd like to meet Jeff, Stone, Mike, Matt and Boom, plus all former PJ members.
Let's see those 2013 dates in the southern states.

Crown of Thorns at tenth anniversary show was very special, obviously. I still think they've never done it better.
