I'm damn jealous of all you Europeans. You just know it's going to be one kick-ass final show of the leg since they haven't been around for six years. But we all know you deserve it - have fun!

    I just can't picture a concert in Greece. I can picture loud rowdy people in Spain, and Italy, and of course the UK, but I can't picture it in Greece. I probably just don't read enough on Greece. So, those that have been to other European shows what do you expect from the Greek crowd?

    Hey, I never experienced a greek crowd at a concert, but sometimes at sports events like football (soccer) or basketball (which is as far as I know the most popular sports there) and those people are awesome. Even at their away games in Germany they are deafening!!

    Check them out (from Athens):

    I think what you have to remember is that a lot of non-Greek fans will be travelling to the Athens show. Given that it's the last European tour date (at least for now anyway ;) ) people will be very into the gig.

    I wish I was going :(

    Sounds a bit like Prague to me. It's my birthday on the day PJ play but I can't see my girlfriend getting me a hooker for my present

    Who the hell told you this bullshits?
    The only right thing is about the cabbies. We are not proud about those bastards who give a totaly wrong picture about Athens and it's people. This is the most livevly city in Europe. Clubs are closing in the morning only becasuse people have to go to work otherwise they would have stayed open 24 hours a day... People are friendly and they are not trying to steel your money unless you are hangin around in places you shouldn't (just like in every other city in the world).
