    If you had any idea how much editing went in to that last post! ;)

    I think I've been spending too much time pm'ing with unfettered emoticon abandon this week!! :D So posting has become an exercise in frustration!!!
    Well for more reasons than that but having to curb my natural love of the emoticon does not help any!!!

    Anyhoo Hels, I have NO idea about Copenhagen, never been there either, but have also heard it's a beautiful city and PJ are gonna be there so it's going to be a TRULY AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL city!! :D
    NOPE!!!

    Yeah, it's stifling people's creativity that's for sure!!
    And it sucks!!

    I'm quite sure you are suffering the same annoyance at it all Hels.

    I reckon they should allow us more for those of us that want them, you know the extras left over from all those folk that just type text and no pretty faces! :)
    NOPE!!!

    Helen, I'd bet a good amount of money that you are going to get Long Road as the opener in Copenhagen ... good change that they will dust off Arc too.

    Should be a very emotional show ...
    Should be indeed :o

    I dunno, it may go like that... or they may just play a normal show. I'd imagine, were I in their shoes, it would be pretty difficult to play songs relating to what happened.

    True. I guess the Denmark situation is a lot more personal to them.

    But, they did, as predicted open with Long Road in Kitchener on 9/11/05 ... they also opened with it in Cincy at the US Bank arena where fans had died at a Who concert years before. And I believe that Ed also dedicated the song to someone in San Deigo last year (I could be wrong there though).

    I think it is a touching tribute and playing in in Copenhagen would be VERY fitting. I hope you get it. Aside from Release it is the most powerful and touching song to hear live. :)
    Thanks :o I hope so too... I've only seen them 3 times and have had 3 different openers and 3 different closers but I've never heard long road. Release in Verona was amazing though.

    I'm also waiting to hear Save You! :o

    I don't know... I think if they don't play it I'd understand. It would be nice if the show was a tribute to the 9, but obviously the band went through a harder time with this than any of us so they'd have to be up for it :o The fact they're even going to Copenhagen suggests they are though... but we'll see.

    I'm expecting it to be a special show but I'd understand if the band don't want to be too sentimental.

    I would be very surprised if the gig isn't a tribute. But other than a few songs like Long Road and others with 'passing' themes and a mention by Ed I dont think it will be entirely unique. Probably a normal setlist with a few special songs thrown in.

    Arc would be quite emotional if it does happen.
    JUST PLAY THE F***ING NOTE!!!

    yep, I think that would be more likely... Everyone would be sobbing the whole way through the concert if they just play ALL songs relating to death and grieving. Long road/love boat captain/arc would be wonderful as a tribute so I'd hope for all three.

    Another bump for Helen to hear her song(s). Having heard Long Road as an opener I think she should too!!! One very cool and amazing friend she is to have :D:D Not to mention a great PJ fan. I hope London is going grand and only wish I was there :(

    Still got everything crossed for you Hels. :)
    (It's making it a little bit difficult to go to the loo, but hey......you gotta do what you gotta do!) ;):D

    Hope you get every good thing you could possibly want and more besides on your Birthday girl!! Have a great, great day Helen. Big hugs and best wishes from Oz. :) XO
