What was the first PJ song you heard LIVE and how did you feel?

Hey folks,

Mine was "Corduroy" at the Pinkpop festival back in 2000. After years of waiting the band came on stage and started playing this song. I know it was really hot weather that day but I was compeltely overwhelmed. Since that moment I became more and more fan of PJ...

How about you guys?

Inside job at the Point on August 23,I felt emotional,excited and alive.

Mine was Oceans in Buffalo 96,It was one of my favorites off Ten and was truely amazing.I had never seen a PJ setlist before so I didn't know at the time it was a bit of a rareity,and that made it even more special.I've yet to hear it since.

Wow, Oceans as an opener...I guess it would have the same impact as Release, which I saw in Arnhem...

World wide Suicide at the Astoria. (To be honest I'd rather it had been Long Road or Release, but I can't complain). I felt slightly drunk and excitable! )

.... f***.. I love that song.. never heard it live and I wish I had.

Mine was World Wide Suicide at the Astoria as well. The energy was incredible and I was over excited and a bit overwhelmed seeing them for the first time and in such a small venue!

I hope you'll get Release one day - In Arnhem they started with Release; the first guitar sounds and at that moment I was like: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Especially when lots of fans were singing "I'll ride this wave, where it takes meeeeeeeeeee!!!

Well, that's true, but that doesn't really count (not PJ stuff and not a real song...)

This was the first time I heard a PJ show.. but I wasn't there, it was on the radio (a french radio played the entire Berlin's show)

Long Road at Uniondale '03. The only boot I owned at that point had Long Road as the opener, so I thought it was standard. I was much more excited when Rearviewmirror came on next.

My first PJ live song was "RELEASE" (November 22th Santiago Chile) at the very first concert in South America.
I have to say that it was one of the most spectacular moments in my life.
In fact, when the show starts, I was in the midle of the field (floor) and when I become aware of the song I just can´t crontol my self. Then I took off running to the stage.
They played "SMALL TOWN" in that show to ... then I cried.
