I dont understand how people cry at different songs. Believe me, I'm not criticising you at all for it because I've heard of people that do....I just don't get it.

If I saw a grown man sobbing like a baby to a PJ song with his head in his hands I think I'd just stare at him thinking "wake up to yourself! It's just a song!"

I think it was because I missed seeing them in 98 (stupid mum :mad: ) so it was 5 years of built up anticipation and frustration being let out in one single moment.
I welled up during Alive at Newie too but that was mostly because it was amazing to see 7000 people going insane around me and knowing that I had something to do with it

When the shows got announced I asked mum if I could go. She told me I couldn't go because she couldn't afford it. Obviously I was disappointed, but I accepted it.
When the day of the show rolled around I remember sitting in my room listening to PJ wishing I was with my mates at the show. While I was listening to PJ, mum popped her head around the door and asked if I was ok. I told her that I wished I could've gone to the show, and that's when she replied with, "You could've gone if you wanted. All you had to do was ask"

:mad: :mad: :mad:

I've never forgiven her for that and probably never will :(

When it started up I looked at my mate (the 3rd interrogator) and just said "Release" with the biggest grin on my face. Long Road and Release are the 2 most powerful songs to start a PJ show IMO. When they opened the 1st Sydney show in 03 with Long Road I started to well up. I looked down the row I was sitting in and 2 seats down from me was this guy, head in hands, sobbing like a baby

Agree! We had 'Long Road' as opener in '03 as well and it was just perfect VERY powerful indeed.

I'd just turned 16.
I didn't want to press the matter because I was told that we couldn't afford for me to go. Now that I know she was lying, yes, maybe I should've whinged and moaned like a 5 year old. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

SEVEN THOUSAND!!!! Woo hoooo.....

Wonder how many hours I've been on here to get to 7,000? I don't want to know!!!

So, I was sitting in the Wiltern crowd on the 12th and I started to get this realization. I thought I'd share it here. If it needs to be moved, that's fine.

What I came to realize is that I wouldn't put up with a solo tour by any other artist. Perhaps it's my admiration for the man, but more likely is his ability to entertain regardless of what he's playing (i.e. playing Smoke on the Water on the uke) or whom with.

I think of it like this. Let's say you have a favorite restaurant. A barbecue rib joint, and you've eaten at this restaurant for over a decade. You know the people who work there, you know their families yada yada yada. Well, one day they tell you they're gonna open a new place. It's just up the street and they want you to try it. The thing is, it's just gonna serve salad and bread. Not a salad bar. You don't get to put a hard boiled egg or bacon on your salad. It's gonna be their side salad and french bread.

The thing is, you don't care that it's not what you're used to because it's coming from the same people that have brought you all those plates of delectable ribs and corn on the cob. Same guy that whipped all that great food is now just chopping up lettuce and slapping on a portion of bleu cheese dressing. And you eat it up.

Ed and the boys have been bringing me big ole slabs of ribs for years but that night. Ed and I had salad and bread in a small room and I friggin loved it.

yeah so far. Most days my brain never works to full capacity - yesterday it just wouldnt get started.

Funny tho I did practice questions for three modules last night (under exam conditions and time) and did very well which was a confidence booster. All I can keep thinking of is that the pass mark is 65% and the last 4 semesters the fail rate has been between 30.1 and 34.6% - please dont let me be in that range!!!

Mate what exam are you sitting?? Is it for accounting or have you gone in another direction (to quote every CEO that sacks a coach)
